Pearsall and Hall Were Candidates,
But Ballot Was Unanimous—
Brower Gets Assistant
Tbe Hempstead Town Board, acting open tbe advice of Lynn Bruce, form¬ er Lieutenant Governor of the State •nd authority on matters relating to town goeyrnments, figuratively took the bull by the home at their meeting yesterday afternoon and appointed John A. Ruth of Woodmere," a woU ' known banker of that section, aa treasurer of the township to fill the unexpired term of Ernest E. Bosca, wbo was declared automatically out of ofBce last Saturday. The appoint¬ ment occasioned no little surprise among the throngs who attended the meeting, for It was expected that Syl¬ vester x'earsall, of Lynbrook, for many years postmaster of that vlllage.would be the choice of the trustees. "^The selection of Ruth is looked up¬ on as an evidence of the power of O. Wilbur Doughty, the recognized leader of tbe Republican party In the western districts of the townshi.i. Smith Cox of Freeport, State Commlt- 'teeman, favored tbe appointment of William 8. Hall, of Freeport, who held the office for many years prior to Bosca's election a year ago.
Tbe selection of a successor to the town treasurershlp was tbe all Im¬ portant matter before the town au¬ iboritles. Justice Lewis Ralsig nom- ', isated Ruth almost before the meeting had fairly convened. Tbe names oi Pearsall and Hall were presented by Justices Neu of Lynbrook and Jones, Of Hempstead.
On the first ballot Ruth received three votes against two for Hall and one for Pearsall. Supervisor Uiraui R. Smith, called for a second ballot Immediately. The result was the nnanimouB selection of Ruth. His election will be confirmed in a letter of notification. Rutb is cashier ot the Lawrence Bank.
Prior to the selection of Bosca's suc¬ cessor, Town Superintendent of High¬ ways, Robert Brower, demanded that some action be taken toward the ap¬ pointment of a deputy. He stated that tbe nomination of Jacob Daub, of Hew¬ lett, had been recorded, and asked tbat be be selected. The board con¬ sidered tbe matter .,Xor some time be¬ fore a vote was finally taken. Then Daub was chosen at a salary of 16 and expenses not to exceed |400 a year,
Tbe Board authorized the creation of a lighting district at Franklin Square and will proceed at once to enter into a contract with the Nassau Ugtat and Power Company for the placing of lamps through that village.

STOES DIVORCE SUIT DISMISSED BY JUSTICE
The Testimony Shows Conspiracy
Among Witnesses Says Cohalan
in Decision-Husband Will Sue
The action for divorce borught by Mrs. Gertrude Davis Stiles, formerly of East Rockaway, against George Lawrence Stiles, was dismissed by Supreme Court Justice Cohalan yes¬ terday. Mr. SQles denounced the ac¬ tion against him as a "frame-up," and threatened to proceed criminally againsrrhose whom he saidhad enter¬ ed into a conspiracy to obtain evi¬ dence against him.
Stiles has begun a suit for |25,000 damages against William Babcojk Dowd for alienating bis wife's affec¬ tions. Mr. Dowd Is the manager of the stock brokerage firm of Van Ant¬ werp, Blshpp & Co. It was the inten¬ tion of Mr. Stiles to press this suit as soon as tbe suit for dIvor.ce institut¬ ed by bis wife was disposed of.
Mr. and Mrs. Stiles were married in 1897. Little could be learned of the acccusationa Mrs. Stiles Intended to make against ber husband, but the charges of Mr. Stiles against M-. Dowd were set forth fully in his com¬ plaint. He said that be lived with hhs wife unyi Sept^ber, 1910, when Mrs. Stiles mot Mr. Dowd. After this meeting, be said, bis wife associated with many men of wealth, play-id poker, and failed to take proper care of their daughter, Patricia.
In dismissing tbe complaint of Mrs. Stiles, Justice Cohalan said that the testimony of at least three witnesses showed a conspiracy had existed to put tbe defendant in a compromising position ^nd so allow tbe plaintiff to get a dec:
According to an official announce¬ ment made at the monthly meeting of the trustees of the Long Island Agri¬ cultural College at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on Saturday afte--- noon, the speclflcatlons for the first building al Farmlngdale will be ready j for bids today. The announcement j was made in a telegram from State Architect Lewis F. Pilcher, which con¬ veyed instructions to advertise at once. This has been done.
It was reported that the Suffolk County Board of Supervisors has in¬ corporated in the county road system that stretch of highway through the farm, connecting tbe buildings at the Gross Island Boulevard and the vil¬ lage of Farmlngdale. It is entirely likely also that the Nassau authorities will extend a roadway through the village.
The committee on management has approved plans by which the three farms that are embraced in the school tract will be cultivated and the soil enriched In order that It can be work¬ ed In the spring. A. A. Johnson, tho newly appointed director, announced that he would occupy a hous^,, in Farmlngdale pending the completion of his house on the school grounds jn March 1.
The trustees received a communi¬ cation from Congressman Brown, ia j which the representative offered to supply the school with a variety of horticultural and agricultural publica¬ tions issued by the government.
Director Johnson was authorized to select and engage six heads of depart- m.ents, as follows:
Market gardener, heads of dairying and animal industry, of poultry rais¬ ing, horticulture and agronomy; also a head of the extension department. He says these will all be men who have been tired out.
All of these heads of departments with Professor Johnson will spend considerable time In extension worK among the farmers and market-gar¬ deners of Long Island.
They win oe provided with an au¬ tomobile, In which they will go direct to the farms, many of them far away from a railroad station, with a great saving of time.
