BITTER FIGHT
Stockholders Wrangle at the
Annual Meeting.
New York, May 2:—Revolting
utockholders of the Vulcan Detinning
Company yesterday held one oi the
longest annual meetings on record
Jn an effort to oust the present man
agement.
The meeting, which began at 2 p.
m., was In progress close to mid
night when the proxies and ballots
were still being counted and the re
sult still in doubt. The result will
be announced today.
John Muir & Company, the well
known Stock Exchange firm, headed
the insurgent shareholders and
placed in nomination for directors,
Gardiner S. Dresser, John Kidert,
Richard Lindner, George A. Muir,
Vincent S. Mulford, Lester J. Saul
and Robert L. Worsing.
Opposed to this ticket was that
representing the present manage
ment and consisting of li. E. Spiegel
berg, J. H. Prall, Benjamin Nicol,
George F. Eldrldge, J. W. Buttfleld,
Raymond Tucker. Tucker was nom
inated to succeed S. J. Fîloomingdaie.
The revolting shareholders started
to heckle the present management
Immediately after the conclusion of
the formal opening of the meeting.
W. L. Ball, counsel for John Muir
& Co., and two other stockholders
asked that two men be appointed to
watch the counting of the proxies
and votes, both sides claiming cer
tain stockholders as their followers.
Ε. E. Spiegelberg, president of the
company, proposed that the meeting
bo adjourned until the proxies had
been counted. He stated it would
take a long time, whereupon Herbert
A. Craft, a stockholder, remarked:
"Don't adjourn to a glnmill. We
might not get back for two hours.
I've got two families and I'd like to
get home to one of them."
William J. Buttfleld, a director of
the company and member of the New
York Stock Exchange, took up the
cudgels for the present management,
and replied to the "attack," as he
called it, made by John Muir & Co.
and the charges made recently in a
circular issued by that Arm.
He said that the claim of Adolph
Kern, former general manager, for
10 per cent, of the judgment received
from the American Can Company
would be contested, and would not
be paid, although a contract had
been made with Kern.
Benjamin Nicol, a director, In an
•wer to the request for an explana
tion of the doubling of directors'
fees from $10 to $20 a meeting, said
he believed that the legislation on
one side and stockholders on the
other he considered a director's ser
Yices worth $20.
There was a considerable stir
among the stockholders when W. L.
Ball, counsel for the revolting share
holder», took up the side of the ln
eurgent·. He drew considerable ap
plause when he asked what secrets
the director* had that should be
withheld from the stockholders.
Buttfleld said that extractions
made secretly from the company's
minutes of Charles P. Hull, officer
and director, and given to John Muir
& Co., were "extractions of the confi
dences of the directors."
Ball appealed to the stockholders
asking them If they wanted directors
who concealed things from them, and
the shaking of their heads Indicated
that those present did not.
SOUTH AMBOY BOY IS
GIVEN $15 JUDGEMENT
Eleven year old Raymand Dill, of
South Amboy, was given a judgment
for $15 in the district court this
morning. The judgment was given

James Dill, to recover damages for

mands of that inspector according to

ee before the Board of Education in
