drawal OF its concession to conduct OPP
erations in Mexico are demanded by the
Chamber of Deputies. The bank is &C

numerous business concerns with ruin.
A motion was passed by the Cham

against any foreign bank not cooper
ating whole heartedly with the govern

billie foreign exchange.
Banks Agents Blamed.
The National City Bank is charged
with detailing agents to comb the coun-
try for all available gold, thereby caus-
ing a steady drop in silver and retard-
ing the expected reaction to the gov
ernment's decentralization OF silver,
which is to relieve financial distress.
The confidence of the people in the
ultimate success of the monetary re-
form is shaken, and the economic sit
uation is aggravated, because the drop
in the price of silver threatens with
bankruptcy a large number of firms I'M

Cleveland to Get Max-Strib
Heavy Battle if Rental
Dispute Settled.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
~LEVELAND. April 2.-Cleveland,
with its new Municipal Sta
dunn, was mentioned loudest
today in the ballyhoo over
sites for Max Schmeling to defend his
heavyweight championship against w.
L. young" Stribling.
Only a dispute over the stadium
rental was holding up Cleveland's def
mite selection, it was unofncially re-
ported after conferences here between
William E. Carey. president of the
Madison Square Garden Corporation;
Joe Jacobs, manager of the German
heavyweight, and George H. Bender,
stadium manager.
They said they would announce q
decision tonight after more conferences.
Jacobs was sure Cleveland had the
inside track over Chicago's Soldier
Field and Detroit's arena. The hitch
came, it was understood, over Bender'S
desire to obtain q considerable rental
fee and demands that the promoters in
stall all necessary equipment" in
Guiding a platform to accommodate be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 people and
costing around $4,000, Bender was
said to have asked that this be given
to the city without cost after the fight.
The promoters, however, were be.
ieved to have asked that the plant,
seating around 10000 with the extra
platform, be almost donated in return
for the publicity. The bout probably
would be held July 3.

CEATTLE, Wash, April a.
Charging that wrestling
- seemingly was controlled
throughout the country by
two powerful "Syndicates," the
Seattle Athletic Commission has
ordered that city matches here
after be billed as exhibitions"
and not as contests for physical
supremacy.
It proposes to name its own
referees in the future.
The commission said the two groups
Of promoters were the Jack Curly syn
dicate In the East, whose alleged
champion Of the world" is Jim LondoS,
and the Lewis -Bowser syndi-
cate Of Glendale, Calf, with Ed
Stranger" Lewis, former champion, as
It's head and Don George as its
champion"
Calls Taxing Deliberate.
Wrestlers Of the two factions, the
commission declared, deliberately staged
fake antics" In the ring.
Gus Sonnenberg, while travelling as
alleged champion" and George, who
won the alleged championship" In his
recent tour here, were managed by the
same promoter, a man named Tonne
mann, the commission found. Tonne
mann purported to be licensed referee
Of Illinois.
"It Is seemingly impossible for wres-
tiers from one group to invade the ter
rttory controlled by the other group,
the commissions report said.
Referee Can't Ten.
''It IS impossible for any one, even
the referee, to determine from the per-
Torrance Of the wreStlers whether they
are giving the best that is In them for
physical supremacy.
Antics such as chasing each other
around the ring, both inside and out;
grunting and groaning, pulling chin
whiSkers, jumping on each others feet
and making faces are purposely put on
by the wrestlers, with the approval Of
the promoters, to entertain and amuSe
the public.
"It would be physically impossible for
grapplers to perform two to i've times
q week and give their best to the tech
nique Of wrestling and for physical su-
premacy."
Suspends Matchmakers.
The report followed an investigation
into allegedly crooked" matches here.
The commission suspended Jack Rut-
ledge, Spokane matchmaker, following
charges by George Mcdowell, Seattle
grappler, that Rutledge had suggested
Mcdowell allow his competitor to win
a Tacoma match. Rutledge did not ap-
pear.
