was opposed to reappOrtiOnment in any
form.
These members held meeting after
meeting; gave the several bills serious
consideration, but they could not agree
upon any bill, nor could they recommend
any amendments that were satisfactory
TO a majority of the committee. They
could agree upon the house representa-
ton, but the stumbling block was the
senate. They did not have enough
senators to make each county a Scna-
tOrial district, and when the suggestion
to group certain counties together arose
there was always some objection, and
as a result the committee-composed OF
men favoring reapportionment-cou not
agree upon what they thought an equi-
table reapportionment
Apparently the last legislature was up
against the same proposition and finally
concluded that a satisfactory reappor-
tionment was impossible under the limi-
tations placed upon the total member
ship of the law-making body by the
state constitution, and therefore sub
mitted to the people amendment
which they could either accept or re-
ject.
Judging from the apparent objection
of so many of the South Florida news
papers, the amendment will be &c
feated. 1t would seem that those good
brothers of South Florida would be cN-
tremely unhappy were they to be de-
prived of the right to complain in ard
out of season about West and North
Florida having the bulk of the repre-
sentation in the law making BODY.
The present arrangement is. Of course

fact, the South Florida members have
done as much as any others to delay
it. In this respect, South Florida re-

Suspension Of Gotham Ring
Officials May Help Came

The two men who have lost their
licenses are Jack Clifford, a referee
of Brooklyn, and Johnny Hines, a
judge of this city. Since April Is,
when Danny Lee was granted the
decision over Young Montreal at the
Commonwealth Sporting club by
Clifford and Hines, the two officials
have beeen under close scrutiny by
the commission. The commissioner
who attended that bout. as we'll as
the majority of the fight fans, felt
that Montreal had earned an easy
decision.
After the bout an investigation was
started by the commission to delve
into the hidden mysteries of the de-
cision. On several occasions Clifford
and Hines have been summoned to
the carpet, but the commission was
unable TO discover that the officials
were influenced in making their de-
cision. Although no reason was
given for the dismissal, it is assumed
that it was on the ground Of in
competence.

New York, May 6.-(Special.) =
The action of the New York state
boxing commission in revoking the
licenses of judge and a referee
has aroused hope in the hearts Of
the boxing public that there will be
a continued investigation OF the activ-
ities of ring officials. 1t is felt that
the commission will clear up one of
the most unsatisfactory features Of
the game if it can eliminate the con-
slant rumors of a too strong alliance
between the officials ond the betting
element at the ringside.
Without condemning the two men
on whom the commission put the
stamp Of its disapproval, boxing fans
are unanimous in believing that the
commissioners are to be highly COM
mended for their venture into this
side of the game. 1t is the first time
since the present commission assum-
ed Office that it has ousted any Off
cials, although there have been many
reports of sharp practices.
