Davenport Democrat Davenport, Scott, Iowa July 20, 1924 TWO THOUSAND DAVENPORTERS MARCH IN HISTORIC PERSONAL LIBERTY PARADE. Now that Davenport is a clean city the name of the Civic Federation has been almost forgotten. But 15 years ago or rather from its birth in 1907 on for some nine years the name of Civic Federation was on the tongue of every Davenporter. So strong were the vice powers organized that when the clean-up movement was formed it was secretly organized. This was in December of 1907. This organization demanded the strict enforcement of the mulct law and won out only after a hard fight during which many saloons were closed, many violators were prosecuted and hard feelings between the law enforcement and wide-open town elements were engendered. The German press was particularly hostile to the Civic Federation and dubbed the "Civic Degeneration." During the entire period of its existence, the meetings were held in secret and its officers and membership were unknown. Rev. W. H. Blancke was its active head and H.B Betty its attorney. Every effort was made by the liberal element of the city to ascertain the identity of its members, but to no avail. A number of leading citizens were looked upon with suspicion and boycotts were started against their place of business. On March 9, 1908, the Federation issued an ultimatum to the saloon keepers of Davenport giving them until March 14 to rearrange their places of business to comply with the mulct law and after that date to comply with all its requirements. That year, 86 saloons were put out of business. "Personal Liberty" Parade. During this time occurred the famous "Personal Liberty" parade, participated in by 2000 marchers. The procession terminated with a mass meeting in Washington square. Here a number of leading citizens made speeches attacking the mulct law and the Civic Federation. This outward display of protest instead of intimidating the Civic Federation as hoped by the promoters appeared only to stir them to further and more decided action. They brought outside parties to the city to spy on the saloon keepers and gather evidence against all violators. It was after the trial of a case in July, 1908, that one of those spy witnesses, William Schoenig of Muscatine, was assaulted on Main street, and was saved from great bodily harm only by the timely arrival of the police. The attacking party escaped and were never apprehended. Three other witnesses, all boys who had gathered evidence against Jack McPartland, were arrested in Rock Island on a warrant issued in Davenport charging them with perjury. Attorney Betty on behalf of the Civic Federation secured their release on a habeas corpus procedure. Some time later, McPartland, thru Attorney Walter H. Petersen, filed a suit for $50,000 damages against the Civic Federation, its officers and members, alleging they were in conspiracy to ruin his business. This suit was looked upon more in the nature of an attempt to "smoke out" the membership. It contained a prayer to the court asking that the defendants named be required to answer certain questions the main of which was, "Who are the members of the Civic Federation and what amount has each contributed to the fund?" The request was never sustained by the court and the suit was later dismissed without being called to trial. Efforts were being made to entice Attorney Betty to Rock Island on phony telephone calls, presumably to give the gang a chance to beat him up and at another time he learned of a well defined plot to kidnap him in an auto. He received hundreds of threatening letters, but passed thru the entire crusade without being harmed. As rapidly as cases were made out, injunction proceedings were started against violators of the mulct law. The decree entered required the defendants to live up to the letter of the law, and a violation was regarded as not only a violation of the mulct law, but brought the defendant also in contempt of court. Many citizens arose in their might and declared the campaign on the Federation to be one of persecution, not prosecution. A committee of leading business men, after injunctions had been taken out against Turner hall, Schetzen park, Suburban island, Washington garden, etc., met representatives of the Civic Federation at the Commercial club and asked for a more lenient enforcement of the mulct law. The request was denied. Previous to this conference, a petition signed by a thousand citizens making the same request of the Federation was ignored by that body. During the height of the prosecutions, the various breweries served notice on all saloon keepers stating that inasmuch as many injunctions and agreements were being violated the only safety for them was to abide by the law. They therefore would refuse to sell to any saloon keeper who refused to respect the mulct law. Fourteen saloons in the country outside of incorporated towns and therefore in prohibition territory were ordered closed by the Federation. The St. Julien and Kaiserhof hotels were put out of commission by reason of the lawlessness governing their managements. Famous "Sappy" Rink Case. A test case was started against a saloon keeper by the name of Charles (Sappy) Rink during the month of February 1909 for re-engaging in the saloon business. Rink did only what all of the saloon keepers were doing under like conditions. They would comply anew with all of the provisions of the mulct law within their power. The Civic Federation contended that they could not do this under the same general statement of consent under which they had been enjoined. Judge Bollinger held with the contention of the Federation and Rink was held to be in contempt of court and sent to jail upon failure to pay a fine of $200. Upon the strength of this ruling by the district court, the Federation issued a statement that all saloonkeepers who had been enjoined and were found in business by May 1, 1909, would be prosecuted for contempt of court, and that the owners of the buildings occupied by such saloon keepers would be proceeded against for contempt. All the enjoined saloon keepers quit business. About 23 of the places opened up under a new management. Thereupon contempt proceedings were brought against the owners of these places. The Rink case was carried to the supreme court by the liquor interests, and the decision of Judge Bollinger was reversed, which resulted in all of the above contempt cases being dismissed. The attorney for the Federation argued the Rink case before the supreme court on a petition for a rehearing which was refused. A test suit was brought in the district court to test the legality of the new general statement of consent that was secured in the city of Davenport in June, 1909. Judge Bollinger decided in favor of the legality of the new statement of consent. The 300 Foot Limit. After practically all the provisions of the mulct law had been put into force by the Civic Federation, there remained one clause that it was believed would be overlooked by them. This was the closing of all saloons and bars within 300 feet of churches, cemeteries and school buildings. But in this belief the sympathizers reckoned wrongly. The Federation thru its attorney finally took action on this clause and demanded its enforcement. In the neighborhood of a dozen places were affected by it, principally the Commercial club, and the Hotel Davenport. The former installed the locker system and the hotel escaped the deadline by changing its bar entrance from Main street to the alley. In order to permit of this change it was necessary to have the city council alter the alley into a street and it is now known as Library avenue. Previously it had been designated Pretzel alley.

Davenport Democrat Davenport, Scott, Iowa Jul 20, 1924 FINEST HOTEL IN THE WEST DURING CIVIL WAR DAYS WAS THE BURTIS HOUSE AT FIFTH AND IOWA STREETS Davenport once boasted of having the finest hotel "in every respect superior to any other in the United States." That was in 1858, and perhaps it was only a boast, but it was certainly one of the finest in the West. It was noted for its elegance, accommodation and beauty of structure." The building extended 118 feet on Fifth street and 109 feet on Iowa street, and had a dining room 39 by 81 feet, supported by "iron columns and magnificently frescoed by Messrs. Paterson & Hildebrand." The structure rose to a height of five stories including basement. Hot and Cold Water. A 35-horsepower engine in the basement and a Worthington pump forced water to a tank in the fifth story from which in hot and cold jets it was distributed to every hall in the house. The basement also contained a laundry room, restaurant, billiard room, smoking room, and store rooms. Steam heat was used for heating and cooking. The dining room occupied the center of the main floor and was lighted by means of a skylight. There were 150 sleeping rooms. Dr. Burtis himself designed the structure assisted by Mesrs. Underwood & Cochran and a Mr. Carroll. The eminent doctor had a reputation with travelers for "those gentlemanly and hospitable attentions that end so much to lessen the discomfort of travel and to ameliorate the hardships of absence from home." Frank Kendrick was assistant manager of the hotel. Frank was undoubtedly the most suave of managers-except of course, for Dr. Burtis himself. "To all who know him, " one man said, "nothing need be said in regard to his qualifications; to others it need merely be said that he is- a gentleman." The Chef Extraordinary. William Coulter was the man who made the old Burtis house famous all over the United States thru his cooking. In fact, so great was the improvement in the preparation of the food when he returned to the kitchen after an absence of a few months that The Democrat spoke glowingly on the following day, July 2, 1864. "The boarders at the Burtis house were highly gratified yesterday at the change of the order of affairs in the culinary department. There was such a sudden change in the style of cooking that an inquiry was at once instituted to ascertain the cause. The investigation resulted in bringing out the fact that the old time and popular Burtis cook-William Coulter-was back at his post again. Mr. Coulter is one of the best cooks in the country. He was with the Burtis house from its opening until last spring when he left for a while. He commands in the kitchen and the public will have the return of those splendid dinners such as he along knows how to place upon the table." Previous to coming to the Burtis, Mr. Coulter had made the LeClaire house noted for its cuisine. He had come to Davenport from Chicago in 1858 and previous to that time had been chef of the Collamore and Globe hotels of New York, the National at Washington and a number of leading Chicago hotels. Burtis Once a Dentist. Dr. J.J. Burtis had been a dentist before he came West from New York, his native state, and settled in Missouri; but did not seem to enjoy the profession. He is described as a fine looking man with raven black hair and a black mustache. Tho one of the most public-spirited citizens in the history of Davenport and at one time one of the wealthiest, Dr. Burtis had but $5,000 when he left the city to engage in the hotel business in Topeka, where he purchased the Taft house, a center of political gathering in the state. Here he made a success of his venture. Dr. Burtis was born May 27, 1811, and died at Topeka, July 19, 1883, his funeral being one of the largest ones ever held there under Masonic aupsices.

Burlington Weekly Hawkeye Burlington, Des Moines co. Iowa February 11, 1860 DEATH OF OLD FOLKS.- The LeClaire Register notices the death in Le Claire Township, this county, on the 6th of January, of Abram Stone, Sr., aged 90 years and on the 22d, Eunice Stone, his relict, aged 87 years. They were born in Connecticut, lived forty years in Moriah, Essex county, New York, and then removed to Iowa in 1850. They died surrounded by their children, and their children's children down even to the fifth generation. Mr. Stone gave his first vote for Gen. Washington, probably the only man in Iowa who had that pleasure, although a citizen of Davenport saw Washington and heard him speak.--Davenport Gazette.

Nowadays, when Davenport might be called "the city of restaurants," there are very few citizens who would turn up their noses at the delicious, substantial fare enjoyed by their forebears of the early thirties. To witness the various processes of cooking in those days would alike surprise and amuse those accustomed to cooking stoves, ranges and fireless cookers. Kettles were flung over the large fire, suspended with pot-hooks, iron or wooden, on the crane, or on poles, one end of which would rest upon a chain. The long handled frying pan was used for cooking meat. It was either held over the blaze by hand or sent down upon coals drawn out upon the hearth. This pan was also used for baking pancakes, also called "flap-jacks," batter-cakes, etc. A better article for this, however, was the cast-iron spider, or Dutch skillet. The best thing for baking bread, those days, was the flat-bottomed bake kettle, with closely fitting cast iron cover, and commonly known as the Dutch oven. With coals over and under it, bread and biscuit would quickly and nicely bake. Turkey and spare-ribs were sometimes roasted before the fire, suspended by a string, a dish being placed underneath to catch the drippings. Hominy and samp were very much used. The hominy, however, was generally hulled corn-boiled corn from which the hull or bran had been taken by hot lye; hence sometimes called "lye hominy." True hominy and samp were made of pounded corn. A popular method of making this, as well as real meal for bread, was to cut out or burn a large hole in the top of a huge stump, in the shape of a mortar, and by pounding the corn in this way a maul or beetle suspended by a swing pole like a well sweep. When the samp was sufficiently pounded it was taken out, the bran floated off and the delicious grain boiled like rice. The chief articles of diet in an early day were corn bread, hominy or samp, venison, pork, honey, pumpkin (dried pumpkin for more than half the year), turkey, prairie chicken, squirrel and some other game, with a few additional vegetables a portion of the year. Wheat bread, tea, coffee and fruit were luxuries not to be indulged in except on special occasions as when visitors were present. ROAST DOG WAS DELICACY MUCH LIKED BY INDIAN Dog feasts were one of the big events of Indian life in the days when the redskins roamed the vicinity of Fort Armstrong. At such celebrations, white men were occasionally the invited guests, and they were obliged to eat all that was placed before them or else hire some person to do so. Not to do so was considered a great breach of guest etiquette. Such feasts usually terminated all afternoon exercises, which were not only interesting but also highly instructive to those who witnessed them. Meats, vegetables and pies were served up in such provisions at the Indian banquets that many armfuls of the leavings were carried off- it being a part of the ceremony, religiously observed- that all victuals left upon such an occasion should be taken home. It was usually after the ceremony of painting the post that dog feasts were held. Post Painting. At the post painting, the feats of Wau-co-shaw-she, the chief, were portrayed. Ten headless figures were painted, signifying that the chief had killed ten men. Four others were then added one of them smaller than the others, one of them a child. A line was then run from one figure to another, terminating in a plume to signify that all had been accomplished by a chief. A fox was then painted over the plume, which plainly told that the chief was of the Fox tribe. These characters are so expressive that if an Indian of any tribe were to see them he would at once understand them. Following the sign of Pau-tau-co-to, who thus proved himself a warrior of high degree, were placed 20 headless figures-the number of Sioux he had slain.
