TROUBLE OVER THE PAVING
Contractor Wickham and Councilman
Wallace Lock Horns.
EFF0BT TQ INSPECT BASE FAILS

Tartlaa Dlaarre Coacra
In Its Terms.
When Barney Qlltnskt went before the
city council and asked permission to have
lha North Elshth street paving taken up
In places In order that b mlsht be satis
fied that Contractor Wlrkham ha put
,ln ths four Inches , of concrete base aa
flestnatd by the specifications, bis re
ttueat was denied. Ths councllmon took
the position that to grant ths Tequest
would be to establish a bad precedent, es
pecially In view of ths fact that ono In
terested property owner on the street had
bad the pavlnf taken up In several spots
an the concrete base was found to be
accordlnc to specifications.
Councilman Wallace, however, was not
satisfied with the decision of ths majertty
of ths city counoll and yesterday he at
tempted. It Is said, at the request of prop
erty owners on the- street to tear up the
pavlnc and measure the depth of the con-
. crete base. Councilman Wallace Is chair
man of the streets and alleys committee
and be supposed that, reinforced with an
order from Mayor Macrae, he had the
rlcht to tear up the paving- whether Mr.
VVIckham was willing or not. Accompanied
by City Engineer Entyre and some of the
men' from the ' street gang. Mr. Wallace
prooeeded to North Eighth street 'and com
, gnenoed to dig holes In the newly-lald pave
ment. '
Ed. Wickham was promptly apprised of
the action of the chairman of the commit
tee en streets and alleys and he lost but
little time in hastening to the scene. By
the ' time Contractor Wickham' reached
Eighth street Councilman Wallace's men
had dug up a portion of the brick and
were about to measure the depth, of the
concrete base, but they never got that
far.
Wlekfeaaa Bloeks Game.
Contractor Wickham asked Mr. Wallace
Vy what authority he was tearing up the
pavement, and was Informed by the coun
cilman from the Third ward that he was
acting under instructions from Mayor Mac
rae. -
Those instructions don't go for me,"
aid Wickham.
ToU will see If they don't." replied
Councilman Wallace, who proceeded te or
der the men to dig a hole In the concrete.
The men looked at the councilman and
then at Wickham, ; and this short delay
oat Mr. Wallace the day. Arming himself
; with a shovel, the edges of which It was
( said were as sharp as a rasor, Wickham
proceeded to aeat himself over the hole
dug and defy anyone to touch the- con
crete, much lees to dig a hole In It.
' . Contractor Wickham looked as If he

meant what he said, and the men stood
back, dosplte the urging of Councilman
Wallace to go ahead and pull Mr. Wick
ham out of the. hole.
"Oh, well, you can sit there all day. If
you want to. We can easily dig another
hole," said Councilman Wallace, as he In
structed his, men to tske the. brick up in
another place. During the controversy the
city engineer la reported to have assumed
an entirely neutral position and kept well
out of range of Wlckham's keen-edged
shovel.
Councilman Wallace's men took up more
bricks In another place, but before they
could start digging a hole In the concrete
base Wickham was "Johnny on the spot,"
that Is to say, he changed his seat and,
armed with the shovel, arranced his stal
wart form so that It completely covered the
newly dug hole.
' Then Councilman Wallace became wrathy
nt least so far as a Christian man can!
and he sought a nearby telephone. Calling
up police headqusrters he requested that
an officer be sent to protect him. Major
Richmond, realizing the seriousness of the
case ent Sergeant O'Nell and Deputy
Marshal Crum to the scene. The presence
of the two officers only made Contractor
Wickham the more determined that Mr
Wallace thould not mWke the test of the
depth of the concrete base without Inrtruc
tlons from the city council.
The two officers. It Is .aid. dragged Mr.
Wickham from his point of vantage by
the hoela. but this Is denied by the latter
and the guardians of the law declined to
talk about the matter. All this time
VWckham had hold of the keen-edged shovel
and It was notlqeable. according to the
report of the onlookera, that the attacking
party. .0 to spek. kept at a respectable
distance from him.
Finally Mr. Wickham suggested that a
truce be declared until he should get his
attorney. John M Galvln. on the ground
It was about thirty minutes before Mr.
Oalvin reached the scene of hneHiiti..
on his advice the siege was raised and an
agreement reached whereby the test Is
to be made neit Tuesday, at least this
wss the version of the sgreement given by
Councilman Wallace. Contractor Wick
ham. on the other hand. Instated last even
ing that he had not agreed to any suoh
arrangement.
"If the city council orders the paving
torn up. I am ready to have It taken up.
I have been willing from the stsrt of this
controversy to tske up the pavtng as soon
as the city council ordered It. The city
council alone haa the authority to have the
paving taken up." said Mr. Wickham.
commenced the paving,, starting at the
east end, before this, but he took the posi
tion that he had not the right to lsy any
paving until the curbing wss completed and
the cost of the same assessed against the
abutting property. It was stated yesterday
by Councilman Maloney that Mr. Wickham
had announced he was ready to begin the
paving the moment the council had adopted
the assessment for the curblnar. ir it ...
be prepared In time the assessment may
be submitted at the meeting of the city
council next Monday night, as the munic
ipal officials are anxious to have the pav

DENVER, Aug. 30,-The most lin
portent event of a busy day In Dcnvei
for Secretary of War William 11. Tafl
was a speech which he delivered late this
afternoon on "the steps of the state rap
itol. ' He closed his stay In this sity with
a reception given by Yale men st the
University club and a dinner at the
Brown Palace hotel, at which a hundred
prominent republicans of the state sat
down.
At I o'clock tonight Mr. Taft left for
Tellowstone park. Yesterday the Secre
tary's voice .went back on him and lie
called in a specialist today to treat his
throat so he could be heard in the open
air. The specialist reported there was
nothing serious the matter with Mr.
Taft's throat.
" After leaving for Fort Logun today,
Secretary Taft announced that Fort Lo
gan and Fort Douglas, near Salt Lake,
would be made regimental forts. He
remarked that the reservation at Fort
Logan Is not . large enough to 'accommo
date a brigade
A crowd of several thousand people
waited In a drlssllng rain for some time
this afternoon on the capltol grounds
for Mr. Taft to , speak and greeted his
talk with frequent bursts of applause.
His address In the main was a repetition
of his Columbus speech. He deviated
somewhat to reply to the published
statements of William J. Bryan on trusts.
He said Bryan' wanted to extirpate 'the
trusts.
"If he mesns by this that he wants
the trusts dissolved Into their con
stituent parts," Mr. Taft said. "w.
do not agree with him. We went tht
good ones continued and the bad ones
abolished and all properly regulated."
The secretsry said that the difference
between Bryan and Roosevelt waa thst
Roosevelt had faith In the people; he
had faith that good men could be se
cured to enforce the laws, whereas Bryan
did not trust the courts and offered the
Initiative and referendum as a cure-all.
