be given to the question OF a dividend

condition of affairs in the financial dis

TO make the meeting as brief as possible,
in order to get back to their offices, and
the declaration of the second mortgage

business transacted. 1t is expected. how

that the last three months OF the nscal

Refining Company and the Amalgamated
Copper Company. One of the first cases
of inside disagreement since the bull mar
ket began was concerning the method of
handling the sales of the American Smelt-
ing Company and the question OF upon
what basis consolidation was to be ef
fected with the Guggenheim plants. In
this fight the Standard Oil clique won,
even though it was necessary for H. II.
Rogers to resign from the directory of
the smelling company. Actions which
had been brought in court to enjoin the
carrying out of the consolidation deal
were abandoned when the smelling com
pany agreed to renew its contract with
the United Metals Selling Company, by
which the latter handled all of the prod

which had already occurred, and an in

of both the Amalgamated Copper Com
pany and the American Smelling and Re

last blocks were picked up in Thursdays

the copper and smelling situation well
in hand. and within a very short time
some important announcements may be
expe cted covering these allied industries
which will lead to the undisputed control
by one corporation of the great copper
mining and smelling concerns which are
already dividend earners. In the consum-
nation of this deal Senator Clark will be
found in the Standard Oil column. and the
output of the United Verde Mine. which
he owns will be handled by the same
selling agents as the Rockefeller proper

The Fosburg case, so far as IL relates
"a the Providence end OF the now noted
Pittsfeld tragedy, has reached an abrupt
end. for the present, at least.
Bertha Sheldon. daughter OF Frank II.
sheldon, has figured in many published
Interviews, mostly through the medium OF
her mother occasionally through that OF
her father. and spasmodically. ostensibly.
direct from her own lips. But from this
,,re out. II her father has his way. there
will nothing more be published as coming
from Bertha.

reasonabIy conservative people. It would
have been better had Bertha by persnis-
sion OF her father. submitted herseh 10
straight forward interview
There have been too many plays at
cross-purposes: too many side-issues con-
sidered; too great an effort to avoid what
were deemed annoyances.
PURPOSE Misunderstood.
The mission of the press has been mis-
understood. The efforts of the would-be
interyiowers have not been directed toward
leading Mass Sheldon into trap; but 10

lady could aid in that much-desired end.

very properly. heavily.
Bertha Sheldon is not a strong girl, and
she has suffered physically great deal
since her pleasant sojourn among the
Berkshire hills was so rudely and ter
ribly interrupted.
Mr.. Sheldon. with due consideration for
Bertha's health. objected to her going TO
Pittsfield. and, so far as he could do so,
has placed an embargo upon all talk con-
cerniug the tragedy.
1t was his intention that she should not

refused to allow her to attend the coro-
ner's inquest.
Now that Robert 5. Fosburg mas peen

manslaughter, and there is every proba-

Massachusetts, to attend the formal trial
of the young man.. Mr.. Sheldon is willing
that she should waive her legal rights
