The cauna of complaint was that In re

pjaclng the blocks further apart, with the
result that Wlckham was able to haul away
several toads of the blocks Instead of pla
cing them In the street. It was also charged
11. at Wlckham failed to place back the base
of broken, stone and was relaying the brick
on dirt. It was alleged that Wlckham was
hauling nway load after load of tho broken
stone to bis brickyard and that he Intended
using It In the construction of the cement
sidewalks for which he has the contract.
At the city hall yesterday afternoon It
was stated that Wlckham would be required
to take up the greater part of the pavement
and relay It as It was before the excava
tions were made for the telephone conduits.
The city council this afternoon will also
discuss further the question of raising the
tracks and bridges of the Northwestern

Cblcasio Board of Tfade Votes to Re

Prohibited by Law.
CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-Trad!na- in "mil,"
and "calls" Is to be re-established by the
Chicago Board of Trade. By a vote of the
members of the exchange, resulting In 603
affirmative and 254 negative ballots, tha r..
sumption of this form of trading was de-
cmea upon today. "Privilege" trading was
abandoned here some time ago when the
Board of Trade began a crusade against
bucketshops. An amendment providing for
the expulsion of any mrmWr who enters
Into contracts If aware he Is Insolvent was
,aiso voted upon. The question of tha re
cstabllshment of "puts" and "calls" was
raised by believers In that system who
caused the amendment to the rule to be
submitted to a vote by means of a petition.
This virtually forced the board to officially
express Itself on a question covered by the
statutes carrying penalties for violation.
MILWAUKEE. Aug. 30.-The action of
tho members of the Chicago Board of

system of trading In "puts" and "calls"

been carried on almost exclusively since

The matter of gruff or refusal of meat

on the fact that the appropriation has been
