STOCKS HEAVY TO WEAK.

New York, Feb. 17-StocEs were heavy to weak in the early stages of today's session, but gave an expected demonstration of strength later, the market closing with numerous gains of two to six points.
 Rails came forward in an impressive manner during the active final hour, secondary as well as high grade is sues participating in an advance which completely overshadowed the trading in the usual favorites.
 Aside from an increasing conviction that the market has been very thor oughly liquidated by the heavy selling of the past fortnight. the only tangible explanation for today's recovery was the lowering of money rates.
 Apropos of the railroad situation, however, it is generally assumed that the approaching return of the various systems will be followed by important mergers and consultations! maEing for greater. economy Of opera ton and efficiency of management. --'ss-

liam Sheafe Chase of Brooklyn and George H. West of the New York Civic league at a hearing before the senate judiciary committee today.
 Major Anthony Drexel Riddle of Philadelphia, chairman of the army and navy civilian board of boxing con- trol, which prepared the Walker bill, declared that it was the spirit of box ing that won the world war"
 Major Riddle declared the passage of the bill would elevate the sport, that he had found it popular through out the country. and that in more than 5000 Bible classes in the country which he aided in organizing boxing was one of the favorite sports. He referred to the popularity of the sport in the army and navy, told of instruct ing the marines in the use of the bayo- net and boxing, and then asserted that it was the spirit of boxing that won the world war"
 A letter from Monsignor George J. Waring of New York, vicar general to the archbishop of New York, in which he approved boxing, was read.
 The hearing developed for a time into an argument over the definition of "prize fight" the opposition insist ing a prize fight" was one in which men tried to knock each other out, while advocates of boxing argued that prize fights were fought with bare fists" and that the Walker bill would legalize boxing and sDarring match es."
 A charge by Mir. West that moving picture men" were chiefly interested in the passage of the bill brought I de- nial from Senator Walker. 'This is none of their business" said Senator Walker, "and they can't make use of this law as we write sit.'
 The Willard-Dempse heavyweisht championship contest in Toledo last E July was discussed. Mir. West de- clared that the American expedition ary forces were opposed to the match.
