Pistol 100-Year-Old Gift Ties Families at Burlington Wedding
Miss Esther Fleming married Lt. Harding Polk of the government service in Burlington. A 100 year old army revolver, bought in Baltimore, bore the name Leonidas Polk and proved a Polk family heirloom linked to President Polk. Lt. Polk, a distant cousin, learned the firearm’s history and its gift marked a notable family connection amid wedding festivities. A second Burlington union tied to presidential circles noted as Miss Bessie Bullard married T. Wales Lillard of Montana. Des Moines Admen discussed Chamberlain hotel luncheon and Pan American exposition questions for 1915.

Police Judge Rules And City Ordinance Enforcement
The police judge has jurisdiction equal to a justice of the peace in criminal cases and there can be no change of venue or jury trial in ordinance violations. Appeals go to the district court. The police judge sits in city hall aiding rapid warrants. Fines and fees go to the city treasury, reducing arrests for nonviolations. From January readings, nearly $1,000 was turned to the treasury in the first seventeen days. The parole plan directs money from fines to the wife, with the defendant required to stay sober, aiming to cut alimony calls by about one third.
