CANNOT PREVENT PRIZE FIGHT.
DENVER, Colo. May 21.—Governor
Henry A. Buchtel, answering articles
in the public press and personal letters
addressed to him yesterday issued an
address to the public explaining why
he is powerless to act in preventing the
prize light scheduled to take place
here tonight between Harry Lewis and
Jimmy Gardner. The governor says
that the adoption of a new charter for
De ver which took from the governor
the appointment of the tire and police
boards deprived the chief executive at
the power to coerce the city oilicials
and unless they ale willing to act of
their own accord he cannot compel
them to an incidentally the gover-
unor names t ree conditions as curses

saloon. the prize light and the soull-

".3 with there fullypinfor‘m-
:lib " the matter.
“llhdgc “ gilt explained that it had
never been intended that the city
fence. He did not think that the city
should assume the perpetual duty oi
maintaining the retaining wall and
fence.
Mr. Taylor said that he believed the
hlty had already taken a definite stand
in the matter and that the enterprise
had resulted in a large increase in
taxes. He tho ht that the city had
acquiesced in t matter for the lust
thirteen years. Nicodemus of the
land was private porperty, which was
taken by the city without any com-
pensation. He thought that it was a
very nightly and popular promenade
{or the general public.
' Judge Light corrected Mr. Taylor in
several points. He said that the city
took the and and under the resolution
the city ya it back just as it was.
The main . once of the wall remains
an open question. which has not yet
been decided by the court.
* Mr. Taylor said that the wall is not
in the condition that it was fifteen
years ago.
Judge Light rejoined that about $2.
000 ’ had been spent on the wall.
which is in much better condition than
it had been.
Mr. Taylor suggested that the mat
tor, being new to the property ow are.
who have not suiticient time to on aid-
er the case, should go over for a con-
ple of weeks.
Judge Light suggested that this was
an equitable suggestion.
Councilman Robins asked who built
the wall in the first place. and assured
the taxpayers that the Council did not
wish to rush anything through detri
mental to the property owners He
said that if the city had blllit the wall.
it would have been built right and
Would not have fallen down. He fur-
ther said that there are property own-i
era in other sections of the city who
Want retaining walls built and the
Council doesdlot wish to make fish oi
one and flesh of the other. He thong
that the matter should not be allows
to run along as it is. .
Judge Light. assured him that such
was the reason for the present action
He said that he desired to put himseli
In record as having advised the cit)
against continuing to maintain the
Hall.
W. H. with said that he did not
think that the city should continue to

nalutain the wall in front of his (Mr.
Smith‘s) property. He said that if
:he city maintains the walk and wall.
t should maintain every‘walk and wall
"a the city, and that he did not believe
:hst General Taylor, who commenced
the work. ever intended that the city
lhould repair the wall. This point
was discussedat. some length.
' William H. McMahon then spoke on
:he matter and corrected Mr. Taylor
n home points.
Former Mayor Cavanagh said that
In thought that every property owner
‘lad been assured that the city would
naintalu the wall in the future.
“How could anyone make such a
ltatemept and not maintain the. other
litlsens' walls and sidewalks?" asked
Mr. Smith.
Mr. Cavanagh then again alluded to
he taxes paid by the prdpcrty holders.
William H. McMahon said be under
Itood that the city had paid damages
or persons who had been injured by
be defective sidewalks and that the
Iropertv holders had refused to keep
the walk in repair.
Mr Smith said that he thought the
people on Crescent Terrace should be
treated just as any other property
owners.
Richard H Golden said he believed
that some of the property had been
rlven for nothing as a sidewalk.
Mr Smith asked if there had not
been a number of pieces of property
which had been almost inaccessible
vhich had been sold at a big price at-
.erward, as the result of the improve-
cents.
“The profits on the‘ matter were al-
uost infinitesimal. " replied Captain
Caylor. 3

Attorney William Gridln asked for
information on the subject. He said
that a number of things should be coh-
sidered before taking. any action,
rmong them being the expense of till-
n . as at present the roadway is tide-
washed. He said that the city would
have to tear down. three barns to
build the road. Hoithought that the
Quintard avenue layout would be me-
friable as there wdslhl not have to
be expensive grading and only one
barn to be moved. He suggested a post-
Iponement for two weeks.
Corporation Counsel Ilight said that
he had received a communication from
John McMillleu, Buying that be pro

road and that he would demand heavy
dalnages should the street. he laid out.
Mr. Mcuullen enclosed a map of the

Mr. Smith said that he believed that
Quintard avenue should be extended to

should be cut to the channel. Mr.
