Robert W. Stewart is to continue as chairman of the board, have been mailed & new a peal for re-election of Col. Stewart. The letter charges spokesmen of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., with a “campaign of misrepresentation” in their effort to remove Col. Stewart from control. It expremes the hope that the contest between the young- er Rockefeller and himself be kept on a high plane. “It was my under. standing that such, too, was the hope and -intention of Mr. Roeke. feller,” the letter continued, “Then Mr, Rockefeller sailed for pt,” Col. Stewart wrote in the letters which went into the mails last night. “Mr. Aldrich (Winthrop W. Aldrich, brother-in-law and at- torney for Mr. Rockefeller) and Mr, Ivy Lee apparently did not under- stand the matter as he did. “After saying he would embark on no ‘unseemly scramble for prox- ies,’ it surely must be without his knowledge or consent that others in his name have embarked upon a campaign of misrepresentation; that they, in a very wild scramble for proxies, indeed, « have brought the whole force of the Rockefeller mil- lions to bear to intimidate and coerce wherever possible individuals and financial institytions and all of the companies which the Rocke- feller interests dominate in order to defeat the -esent management of this compan!

Stewart said, have initiated a “rule of ruin” policy hent on securing control of the company, “regardless of the conse- quences.” Not Secking Vindication ‘The chairman denied that he was asking a personal vindication from the stockholders: “That has already heen given to me by two courts and two juries.”” What he wanted, he maid, was that they vote “for the ®ood of the company and your own Asking by what right his oppo- nents have assumed a “holier than theu” attitude, Col. Stewart assert- od: *The men on our board of @i- rectors have a devotion to a right, clean way of thinking and liviag, just as deep and sincere as any of my opponents. And these men aro supporting me. But they havs learned the commandment, “Thou Bhall Not Bear False Witness'! “I deny that divine guidance is vouchsafed to my opponents alone, T deny that they have any corner on morality, in business or other- wise, I dney that their piety:—and I use the ward in all reverence and veneration—is any greater than the plety of thousands of clean-living, clenn-thinking men and wonen who %mow me and are supporting me.” Charges Unfair Dcoeption Col. Stewart replted in detail to charges which he said were made by Aldrich and Lee in statements 1s- wued in behalf of Mr. Reckefeller. Referring to a document given newspapers on February 10, entitled “'Colonel Stewart and the Standard ©il Company of Indiana,” Col. Btew- ort said Aldrick “was guilty of plac- ing in ecirculation a grossly unfair degeption,—unfair because it was largely insinuation rather than ac- cusation,—a deception of omission a9 well as of statement.” I never had anything to do with feapot Dome leases, Col.

The plan, when originated, seemed feasible to none but Rickerd and even he had his doubta. It is no secret now that Tex, be- fore he died, told the directors of his oerganization that the battle of the Everglades, featuring Young Stribling, the slugging Georgian, and Jack Bharkey, of Boston, must be considered in the light of his"own personal experiment. If any profits were made on the affair, the corpor- ation would recelve them, Any loss Tex planned to foot himself. Tex, seeking to divorce himself slowly from the game that made him wealthy, had invested heavily in ventures here. Tex wanted to spend his latter years in the ease of the southland. Miami Beach was the choice of his future home. The dog- racing track, the Deauville Casino and the rusty steel skeleton of a $1,- 000,000 recreation pler all are evi- dence of Rickard's belief in the sol- vency of the south. He planned the fight next Wed- nesday night as a gigantic advertis- ing proposition not only for his in- vestments ‘here but for the corpor- ation as well. Tex once said he was willing to take & loss of $100,000 and censider it well spent. But,when the old master of the balyhoo died, the garden directors could see little reagon, with Rickard's genius gone, for carrying out what seemed 80 hopefess a proposition. The guaran- tee of $100,000 to 8harkey, the cost of erecting an arena, offered the two largest obstacles. i And mow from an entirely unex- pected source comes the promise that the Garden corporation unwit- tingly has stumbled into a new by- product of boxing, a discovery that may prove one of the most prosper- ous in the history of the sport in- stead of a financial failure, BSo great has been the advertising that has come to Miamj Beach | through the battle itself, the infiux; are casting envious eyes at the pud- licity that has boomed this city even beyond the exciting days of 1935 and 1926. Already Bill Carey has received proposition: from cities California and other parts of ¥ier- ida, but Tampa on ‘the west ooast seemed to have outdistanced all the vest, ‘ Carey was amazed at an unofficlal offer of $500,000 from the rival re- sort to stage anothw Reavyweight engagement next winter beside the waters of Tampa Ba . The meacy was offered the Garden corporation, he said, merely for the staging of a match in that city without thought ot a share in the profits. Although Miami Beach paid nothing for the privilege of staging the Sharkey- Stribling match, indications gre that the prosperity resulting will bring the society resort into the bidding for any return engagements that the Garden may play in the south. Thus it may prove that Rickard, master at molding the game of bos- ing to his needs and desires, may have overlooked the most profitable sideline of all while the Garden, led into carrying out the promoter's plan through respect for the dead leader and desire to maintain prestige, has stumbled upon the fistic goose that may lay many golden eggs. The principals in the fight picture are divided today between Palm Beach, where Jack Dempsey, pro- moter, and Carey, attended a society charity show last night and the Beach where the boxers are in training.

Keyes and Ed Rosenberg, one of his co-defendants in the recent bribery-conspiracy trial here, were sentenced yesterday by Superlor Judge Edward T.
