Justice of the Peace Edmond R. Polk
was the testimony brought out in
Judge Uhlir's courtroom today.
To this vault, it is alleged, the vic

In connection with this case war
rant was taken out today at the re-
quest of Asst States Attorney Eu-

performing marriages without legal
authority. The Justice" is now some

If Polk is found guilty of this charge
he can be fined $500, or given two
years in Jail, or both.
The latest developments in the
FOLK case came today during the trial
William ]. Madl on a charge of
contributing to the delinquency of
lis two children.
Madl was arraigned on complaint
of his wife, whom he married five
years ago. During the course of the
trial it was brought out that Madl,
under the name Of VIM. j. MaFten,
had married Edith Booth, alias Duff
field, 323 Schiller street, on Jan. 8,
1914, in the vault in the county /
clerks Office. This ceremony was |
performed by Polk, who changed the |
date of the license to Jan. 5, 1913.
Madl was fined 5000 and sentenced
to year in the House Of Correction.
A bigamy charge was not placed |
against him on account of the doubt

But | think that you will agree with

to develop without them? To correct
the many mistakes by which we have

The case is not unlike that which
confronted us when our own continent
was to be opened up to settlement and
industry, and we needed long lines of
railway. extended means of transpor-
tation prepared beforehand. If develop
ment was not to lag intolerably and
wait interminably. We lavishly sub
sidized the building Of transconti-
mental railroads. We look back upon
that with regret now. because the sub
sides led to many scandals Of which
we are ashamed. but we know that
the railroads had to be built, and If
we had 1t to do over again we should
of course build them, but in another
way. Therefore l propose another
way of providing the means of trans
portatiOn, which must precede, not
tardily follow, the development Of our
trade with our neighbor states of
America. 1t may seem a reversal Of
the natural order of things, but 1t is
true, that the routes Of trade must be
actually 0pened-by many ships and
regular sailings and moderate charges
before streams Of merchandise will
flow freely and probably through
them.

United States. this great people for
whom we speak and act, should be
ready as never before to serve itself
and to serve mankind, ready with its
resources, its energies, its forces of

1t is a very practical matter, a mat

of distribution. We are willing, but
we are not fully able. We have the

mobilize u resources at once. We are
not prepared to use them Immediately
and at their best. without delay and
without waste.
To speak plainly, We have grossly
erred in the way in which we have
stunted and hindered the development
OF our merchant marine. And now.
when we need ships, we have not got
