TOO MANY HOLES
 IN BOXING BILL
asna.-taL te The Tmes.l

Hartford. Ma0-h 7.---DaaSIte the fart that a. majority of the ministers favored the amendment to the boxing biU. providing for eight-ounce gloves, instead of five ounce ones, the judi ciary committee of the House today at a special meeting voted to report unfvorably on the measure, which was drawn by a. Bridgeport sporting
 man and received its strongest sup port from the sporting fraternity of that city.
 The amendment reached the com nlittee yesterday. At the same time the committee also came in possession of several communications from min laters who opposed the bill on the ground that it advocated prize fight ing by providing that participants in the bouts wear five ounce gloves. The amendment, they said, met with their approval and was along the lines on which the Army and Navy departments are conducting boxing for its members.
 The committee, however. through it's chairman. announced today that the bill contained too many loop hoIes'' and for that reason it had vot- ed to report unfa-y oratbfy on lt. The report of the committee will probably not be made in the House until next week.

 The estimates do not take into con sideration liquor which may be stored in cellars or attics of prospective con sumers. Nor do they include any stocks which wholesale or retail deal srs may not sell before the prohibit ton wave catches them. These ara ! ports.
 Revenue bureau officials calculate that at present bonded wareh ouses connected with distilleries. but under lock and kay of government agents, hold less than 90,0O0,000 of the 200,- 100000 gallons in stock when Tnanu- facture ceased Sept. g 1917, under the food conservation act. Withdrawals in January and February have been less than the 10,OOO,O0O or more gal Ions in December, according to indi- cations based on preliminary reports from revenue agents.
 On January 1, 1000, 900 gallons of distilled spirits were reported 1T bond. including 6,6OO,000 gallons not available tor beverage purposes. About IS per cent of those figure must be deducted as allowance foi leakage and evaporation from bar reIs.

the conference, which ii was believed
would be acceptable to all interests
involved, be added clause declaring
It the right Of employers and employees
