BOSTON, May 1a.--The Commercial Bulletin

the Eastern seaboard markets has been
hardly so keen. perhaps, although prices are
we'll maintained. In the country the new
clip continues to move freely ut prices
slightly stronger. The manufacturers are
Inclined generally to resist the upward
swing of prices. but are obliged to meet the
market when they buy. At the mills there
Is little change, either as regards the strike
situation or the volume OF new business. ex-
cept that Improvement continues to be noted
In worsted goods. The trade would be glad

BATTLE TO CONTROL
SMELTERS LIKELY
Two Tickets of Directors Elk.
pectcd to Be Voted On at
Meeting June q.

The American Smelling and Refining
Companys annual meeting on June q
promises to see two tickets of directors
in the field and sharp contest for
control of the management Is expected.
A committee representing the interests
which investigated the company. re.
porting their findings on Thursday. has
sent out letter to stockholders asking
for proxies, and the management has
done the same.
"In view of the facts set forth in the
report" says the letter in behalf or the
tion. land of the conclusions to which
they lead. the majority members recon-
mend to the shareowners the election
Of board of directors which will be
Independent of the present management
of the company's affairs and compel.
ent to exercise an impartial Judgment
on the questions coming before the
board-such as contracts to be made by
the company either with contracting
parties with whom the directors OF the
company may be affiliated or with
others. We believe the present policy
Of having a board of directors COM
posed so largely of sslaried employees
is not the best form of corporate or
ganization and that it has not always
worked to the advantage of the Smelt-
ing Company"
The letter is signed by Henry Evans.
Clarence H. Kelsey. Henry X. Pomroy
and Willis D. Wood. The independent
proxy committee consists of Messrs.
Kelsey, Pomroy and Wood and Erskine
Hewitt and Charles F. Rand. with
Alfred J. L'Hereux as secretary. The
company's proxy committee is made up
of Simon Guggenheim. Edwin G. jane
son. Wilfred Shore. William Loeb, Jr..
and +. H. Brownell.
Henry B. Leary. who was counsel last
year for large group of stockholders
opposed to the Guggenheim manage
ment of the company. issued letter
yesterday discussing the relations OF
Elihu Root and George w. Wickersham
to the investigation. Mr.. Leary said
that while Mr.. Root upheld the Gug-
genheims and criticised the majority
report Mr.. Wickersham 'concurs in
and is responsible for the findings Of
the majority report" Mr.. Root was
not a referee in the case. added Mr..
Leary, but an attorney who passed ON
the report in behalf of clients.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2t.-Pancho
villa, the flyweight champion, will
defend his title against Frankie
Genaro In bout in Newark

learned the managerial tactics of
America with surprising rapidity.
He knows that his champions
title win not be in danger In a
decisionless bout in Newark. as the
chances Of Villa being knocked out
by Genaro are 100 to l.
The chance Of Villa losing on q
foul is also remote, and even IL
the challenger received the unof-
ncial decision at the end Of twelve
rounds it would in no wise effect
the championship.
As a matter of fact Il begins TO
look as though Villas manager is
