JPBOMINENT ROCKVILLE CENTER LAWYER AND BANKER DESIG¬ NATED COUNTY COMPTROLLER TO SUCCEED LATE C. L. PHIPPS.
(liy Telegraph to Nas.sau Test.)
ALBANY, N. V.. Jan. 12, 2..'10 P. M.—Governor Whitman has just ap¬ pointed Earl J. Uenuett of, Roekville ¦Centre, comptroller of .N'assau county.
Mr. Bennett received notice of his appointment at RocKville C!ontrn late Wednesday afternoon. During the afternoon and early evening Mr. Ben¬ nett received mes.sages of (•ongratu- lations not only from his hosts of townsmen but from hl.s many friends in all parts of the .State.
Mr. Bennett's appointment foUow- ,«4 the unanimous endorsement of the jQembera of the Repuuliean county 'Committee at their special ineeting at Mineola, Monday evening. It is gen- ¦erally conceded throughout the coun¬ ty that Mr. Bennett will make an ahle successor to the late Charles L. Phipps.
Earl J. Bennett is one of the most •nterprising and competent lawyers of Nassau county. He was horn In Delaware county, N. Y., on Feb. 7, 1878, where he attended the local public school until graduating. Then he entered Cornell University, grad¬ uating form the College ot Lawe of that university in June, 1901, with honors. He was admitted to the bar «t Saratoga Springs, at the September term, 1901, of the appellate division .of the third pudicial department, after which he Immediately entered the law offlce of Counselor John Lyon, at Rockville Centre, with whom he re¬ gained until May 1, 1904, when he became connected with the firm of Burr, Coombs and Wilson, 84 Broad¬ way, Brooklyn, the senior member of which flrm, Joseph A. Burr, being re- ••ently appointed Justice of the su¬ preme court In this department.
Governor Whitman begins the new year well. He has shown that he can pul life into an unexpected issue; that he can make appointments as well as removals; that he isn't afraid of a shadow, and that if the politi¬ cians like flghting he can supply them with plenty.
Kii.sion with the Republicans un¬ der certain circumstances in the Presidential election next fall is ad¬ vocated by the Progressions! national committee, which held a strenuous session in Chicago on Tuesday, wind¬ ing up with the adoption of a 1,200 ' word pnoiiunclaniento. i
To hold a primary next 8i)ring slm- | ply for the purpose of electing com- \ mitteemen seems to most people a | needless expense. There are several i faults in the primary law yet. Two i primaries in one year seem un neces- I sary to mont folks. |

•)6rtant posilion. The appointment is a popular one with the people as well as the politicians.
The Itepubllcan national conven¬ tion will be held in Chicago on June 7. Il can be stated with absolute cer¬ tainty that Jeremiah Wood of Lyn¬ brook, chairman of the Republican county committee, will be the choice of the leaders of the party, for dele¬ gate to the convention. Mr. Wood's personal acquaintanceship with the leaders of the party in the State and Nation and his Intimate familiarity with the Issues and the conditions are so extensive that his selection will be of inestimable value to the county which he represents.
There ie very little doubt in the minds of the county committeemen that upon the expiration of his pres¬ ent term as State committeeman, Smith Cox will retire and that G. Wilbur Doughty of Inwood will be the unanimous choice at the election.
Governor Whitman is not generally regarded as a formidable contender for the Presidential nominations. In many quarters he is not taken very
seriously yet.

LONG ISLAND BANKS SHOW RECOVERY-DIVIDENDS MAINTAINED

This increase, while not as large as that shown in previous years when the average growth varied from 5 to 10 per cent., is considered encourag¬ ing In view of the fact that during the past year real estate conditions have been far from satisfactory, and this has affected the banke.

The national banka show a Blight falling off from the flguree of the pfevious year, declining trom $17,107,670 to $16,908,058, but if the final flgures of last year were avail¬ able, they would have showed a gain. The trust companies showed a declin¬ ing tendency from $6,085,324 to $6, 077,466.
The leading State banks on Long Island showing gains include the Bank of Long Island at Jamaica, with branches at Fluahlng, Far Rockaway, Rockaway Beacb. Seaside, Woodhav¬ en, Ridgewood.

tive gain from $598,848 to $782,525, and the Bank of North Shore of Oys¬ ter Bay from $253,841 to $378,999. The other State hanks showing gains are the Amityvllle, Babylon, Farm¬ ingdale, Hicksville, Lawrence, North

The Long Island City Savings Bank has, in the past two or three years, forged ahead of Long Island savings instildllons and shows a gain of from $8,02!),135 to $8,436,031. The recent rapid growth of the bank is a result of the location of the new big indus¬ trial plans in Long Island City, em¬ ploying several thousand hands.
The Riverhead Savings Bank, sec¬ ond in three counties, shows a gain of from $.5,630,97.'') to $6,720,592; the Jamaica Savings Bank of from $5,- .'•.00,r.,")2 to $,5,630,975.
