IA storm OF protests by those who had
money up on the winner
Herman +. Schuettler. assistant
chief OF police. last night explained
the action by saying hat such pro-
cedure is customary. An added rea-
son. he said. is that the police are de-
termined to stamp out gambling in
the city.
Referee Smith, Chief Schuettler
explained. proposed that the bets be
called off. His reason was that In case
the match turned out to be a poor one.
as 1t did. there would be a tremendous
'squawk' from the b%ettors. and the
wrestling game would receive a seri-
Gus setback in Chicago. You under
stand. 1t is quite customary to call
beta off in events OF this kind. 1t has
little effect. as the bettors will back

PERRY AROUSED
 ON GOOD ROADS Meeting at Uni0ntOwn h. sists on Bond Issue and
 Will Push Issue

Uniontown, April -(Special-Perry countians are getting in earnest on the road question. Recently there was or ganized in Marion the Perry County Im- provement association, having for one of its objects road improvement. Union- town is preparing 10 cooperate with it's neighbor in a practical way.
 At mass meeting held at the armory Monday night addresses were made by W. L. Pitts, J. H. James and others urging property owners of this section 10 stand together for better roads Reso- lutions were adopted favorins a bond is- sue by the county, sufficient to provide a macadamized road from Uniontown to east Perry through Marion.
 That the people are in earnest was evi- denced by the fact that when volunteers were called for on a committee to meet the citizens of Marion and east Berry, p men at once volunteered to take the 20-mile trip to Marion at their own ex- pense. May 9 is the date set for a big mass meeting in Marion, when the com missioners' court will be called upon to do something of a practical nature for the betterment of roads. It is believed that a bond issue will be the plan fla vored by a majority of property owners
