Justice of the Peace Louis Roddewig broke all one-day records for the tying of permanent lovers' knots yesterday.

With a blizzard sweeping the city: with Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent at hand, and St Valentine's day a his toric date, he solemnized five weddings and sent ten happy hearts out to pooh pooh at the biting winds. All of the ceremonies were performed in the marriage chamber in the rear of his Fourth street office and despite the pressure of business, not a word of the knitting lingo that he recites was Those united by Judge Roddewig were: George Schiescer and Mary T.

The youthful pair, accompanied by two other young ladies, presented themselves at the clerk's office and asked for a license to wed. A quizzical look immediately forced itself from Mr. Noth's eyes, and his first query was: "Are you and your prospective bride of age?" A negative answer was made and the request to produce credentials came next. The smiling groom immediately passed over a crumpled envelope and the clerk took from it a letter of consent signed by both the lad's father and mother. It was evident, however, that both signatures were written by the same person and a challenge was made.

Representatives of nearly every business house in the city were present at the meeting of the council last evening with their attorney, Louis Block, in a protest against the business men's license which they had been compelled to pay in the past, but against which they now enter a protest. An ordinance was presented covering the ground and was made the basis of the discussion in which the business men made their argument Louis Block in appearing for the business men of the city, made a lengthy talk in which he outlined the position of commercial interests with regard to the payment of a tax on a legally conducted business. He submitted that there was but two possible views to take of the matter, one being that of a police license, wherein a person conducted a business detrimental to the moral or physical well-being of the citizens and the other of a plain tax. "If this is a police license," said Mr. Block, "such as is collected every month by the marshal from persons who are not conducting lawful places of business, then it is entirely out of place for the reason that the business men of Davenport make up a body of citizens whose vocations the indispensable to the commonwealth.

In addition to the high character of their business they are among our best citizens and as such are deserving of the highest considera tion. Their business is clean, above suspicion, and honorable, and is, therefore, not liable for any police tax. "The other question is that of a reg ulation tax. Our merchants are taxed in comparison with every other citizen or Davenport. Their goods are on the shelves in plain view of everyone and the assessor has but to place the valuation and the share of the city's revenue is paid.

"I represent about five hundred busi ness men of this city whose plea is not for the five dollars per year they have been paying into the city treasury, but for the principle of being compelled by an ordinance to give over a sum of money when their business is of a character above suspicion- Another thing, there is no discrimination between the owner of a small store who has for sale but a single line of goods and the proprietor of a large department store, who deals in a number of commodities. Instead of the larger merchant being compelled to pay a higher rate than tho small one, he is allowed to pay the same rate of tax as the man who has but a comaparattvely meager establishment. "The tax should be made to apply to traveling hucksters whose transaction of business is a detriment to the home merchant who spends his money at home and whose busines is for the advancement of the city's interests and who as a tax-payer, is a most desir able citizen." Dwelling for some further time on the principle of being compelled to pay a license fee for the operation of a legitimate business, Mr. Block closed his argument. No action was taken on tne measure, it being the desire of a majority of the aldermen to take the matter under advisement until the next meeting when, according to the expression of a major ity of the members of the council, tne ordinance will be passed.

The business men expressed a will ingness to allow ample consideration before final action is taken. CONGRESSMAN WADE WILL INTRODUCE COURT BILL Verses His Favor of Federal Court for Davenport in a Letter. Attorney Isaac Petersberger yester- day received a letter from Congressman M. J.
