thousand people crowded Dexter paw
lion last night to see the wrestling
match for the worlds championship:
and wildly Sheered Gotch when he,
won in straight falls. y
After conference lasting the great
er part of the day. Frank Gotch and
1ussiH Mahmout finally settled the
4 trouble which threatened to arise over
the fact that the Bulgarian purposed
10 enter the ring in his bare feet. 1t
has been Mahmouts custom in his
matches In this country to wrestle in
his bare feet. Gotch felt this would
invalidate his chances for obtaining
the toe hold, his favorite grip, upon
1 his opponent. Accordingly he called
attention to the rules which provided
that all wresters should wear shoes
during the course of championship
bout.
Mahmout remained stubborn and
insisted upon entering the ring in his
bare feet. For time it appeared as
though hitch would result in calling
off the championship bout, but finally
Mahmout agreed to forfeit $500 of his
end of the purse to Gotch and enter
the ring in his bare feet Rather than
call off the match Gotch agreed.
At 10:55 both men entered the ring
after several preliminary matches had
been decided
For the first three minutes they
bulled it about the ring without either
getting hold Finally, after three
minutes wrestling, Gotch secured a
hold on Mahmout's left leg and threw
him to the mat The American cham
pion was after the foreigner like a
wild cat, and the Bulgarian was re.
spending with every ounce of strength
in his magnificent physique. but could
not break the hold of Gotch. Nah
mout bridged and used every article
l.. his repertoire to forestall the In.
evitable fall that appeared to be ap-
preaching But Gotch was not to be
denied and gradually forced his oppo-
Inent's shoulders to the mat. Finally
| Gotch secured a crotch and half-Nel
son hold, and Referee Smith gave him
the fall in eight minutes. Mahmout's
4 shoulders were pinned to the mat for
4 the first time since he has been in this
country.
Gotch and Mahmout started the
second bout at 1920. Mahmout soon
had Gotch down on the mat, but he
wriggled out of Turks hold and
assumed the aggressive. Gotch tried
repeatedly for the toe hold but Nah
mout fought harder than before and
the American was unable to secure it.
Gotch secured the bar-lock on Nah
mout, but the men wriggled off the
mat. Referee Smith called them to
the center of the ring. Mahmout al
lowed Gotch his old hold. Gotch got
the crotch and half-Nelson, but Nah
mout wriggled out. The struggle
waxed fast and furious with Mahmout
on the defensive all the time.
1 Gotch secured the same hold that
j won the first fall for him-a crotch
and half-Nelson. Mahmout, realizing
the danger into which he was being
plunged. fought like wild cat to
break the hold but it was of no avail.
Despite the Turks immense strength
and ability, he was pinned to the mat
| for the final fall in minutes and 10
seconds.

CONSTANTINOPLE, April IS
Grave fears are felt here for the two
American missionaries at Merina. an
Asia Minor seaport on the Mediter-
ranean, where the Moslems are report
ed to be massacreing Armenion resi-
dents. The trouble, according to a
report, was caused by an Armenian
killing two Moslems. The murderer
was not arrested and the Mohamme-
dan population took the matters into
their own hands and attacked the
Armenians, declaring they would ex-
terminate the entire Christian popu-
lation. The last report from there
stated the massacre IS in progress in
the Armenian quarter. and the foreign
population had received urgent re-
quests for help. The foreign office
has been notified that it will be ex-
pected to protect all foreigners
Mersina has christian population of
thirty-five thousand.
WASHINGTON April 15.-Fear for
the safety of Americans during the
Turkish troubles was relieved today
when a disp.tcr was received from
Minister Leischman at Constantinople
saying there was no danger except
from stray bullets. The trouble is be-
ing confined to other districts of the

A prominent republican MEMBER OF
congress said today:
1T would be impossible for Patten
to raise the price of wheat % cents
by his own efforts. Not only must he
have combined with shippers and pro-
ducers TO effect the result, but must
have also used interstate transporta-
lines. bonded warehouses, foreign
shipments. telegraph and telephone
lines Of international and interstate
location. | am certain there is a
strong enough sentiment in congress
now to enable us to pass the law,

That the condition should be al %ed
to continue which it is possible for
one man, through gambling processes,
to raise the price of loaf of bread, is
intolerable. Members of congress
have been swamped with kilograms Of

receive immediate consideration.
1t was stated today that Townsend
Of Michigan is now preparing bill

ernment Can Put a Stop to

Hundreds Of kilograms Being Receiv-
ed by Officials at Washington
Protesting Against Bull
Operations Of Patten.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Can the
United States government put stop
to corners" on the necessities of
life? This quetsion is being seriously
considered today by officials OF the ad-
ministration, and leading members of
congress. During the past few days
hundreds of kilograms have reached
the department of justice, the COM
merce OF labor and the White House,
protesting against the bull operations
of James A. Patten in the Chicago
wheat pit The matter was brought
up at a conference yesterday at the
department of justice with Wicker
sham and other heads Of the depart
ment in attendance. The general
opinion is there is no federal statute
ct the present time to suppress such
operations as Patterns, and II 1t is to
be done in the future, it will necessi-
tate a special legislation by congress.
A suggestion was made, however, that
there is a possible remedy in the
Sherman antitrust law against con-
spiracies in restraint of trade.
