Company, Of this city. He was elected
president Of the institution yesterday, at
special meeting Of the directors. TO
succeed Gist Blair. who retired, although
retaining his place on the board Of d.
rectors.
The election Of Mr. Jordan caused some
surprise, as it was expected he would
locate permanently in New York where
he has spent much time since he retired
from the United States Trust Company.
That company was absorbed by the
Munsey Trust Company. II was ru-
mored yesterday after the election that
the Real Estate Trust would take over
the assets Of the United States Trust
but this was denied by Mr.. JOrndan. He
did say, though. that a number OF stock
holders OF the United States Trust were
ready ito exchange their stock for that
Of the Real Estate Trust Company. This
Is said TO be the attitude of more than
80 per cent Of the United States Trust
stockholders.
In this way the Real Estate Trust WIN

to some extent when that company is
liquidated.

him by returning him to his seat next
November. he announced to the House his

Prodigious Industrial Growth Of Porto

WHAT CENTRAL AMERICA CAN DO

The probable benefcent effect Of the

Little Porto Rico is so small that It

can lake. 1t would take ffty-seven is
lands OF its size to equal Central America
in area, and yet Porto Rico produces
more foreign trade than all Central Amer

The trade of the island has nearly
quintupled since Uncle Sam took possess

rolled in the school has increased six

Multiplied threefold. Porto Rico's pros

fouI tons Of sugar are produced where ore
was a dozen years ago. and where the
Porto Rican people received IS for eN-
ported sugar where they received 81 only
dozen years before. Coffee production
has quadrppled since the beginning OF the
century. The production of oranges has
increased sevenfold in ten years. pine
fruit twenty-fivefold in three years

Cuba and the six republics. With an area
one-fifth as great, its foreign commerce Is

Members of the committee did not voice
this thought at first, preferring to wait
until they might have a look at the ON
cial records of Capt. Gibbons and others
of that rank who were "plucked." Yes
terday they went through several Of
these records. They found that Gibbons
has not a single mark against him. but
that, on the contrary, he has several
letters Of cOmmendation, at least one
from a Secretary of the Navy; has won
several service trophies indicating effi-
cheney. and has made numerous requests

1t has bee. whispered quietly In serv-

a trifie less affected by British and Con-
tinental experiences; II, in fact, he had
not acquired so pronounced a suit of
British veneer. he might have more

GIVES NEEDED PUBLICITY
Oyster Bays Onslaught Awakens In
terest in Opponent Rather Than
lnjuring Him.
, By FRANCIS d. GEssNER.

New York. July H.-The Oyster Bay
outburst against Whitman, the Repub-
lican candidate for governor, was ex-
pected by the regular Republican or
ganization two days before 1t reached
the public prints. The waldrof coterie
OF wise men discussed 1t and the probable
effect two nights before Chairman
Perkins and Henry L. Stoddard. the chief
editorial adviser OF the Progressive Or
ganization. gave Roosevelt permission to
release it for publication"
The effect Of the outburst was weak
ened some by anticipation of II. and the
Whitman people, also the Chairman
Barnes phalanx OF imperturbable war
riors, used to wars alarms. had their re-
ply fairly well prepared before the
Thursday morning head lines stirred up
those Of the plain people who had no in
side tip Of the latest Illumination from
Long Island.
The result. unexpected by the Perkins
people, was a sudden defense of Whit
man, and some splendid compliments TO
his ability and personal qualifications
including his courage, by Democratic or
Independent editors, hitherto inclined to
lsment that Whitman was the candidate
picked by Boss Barnes Even the World
IA day ahead of the Roosevelt Illumination
anIlclpafeO IL WIN aggressive repudla-
ton Of the expected Roosevelt denuncia-
ton of Whitman as subservient to the
Barnes machine.
The Perkins people were taken on their
feet by the quick and also the advance
insistence OF big newspapers that Whit
man did not deserve denunciatlon as the
candidate OF the party boss, even II he
has hardly given signs of having a per-
sonal grip on things up in the State.
The one lament among cautious ones
who gave the Oyster Bay outburst ad-
vance consideration in the roof garden
circle the night before the publication
was that Whitman's election might be
made uncertain by the inslstence OF
Progressives fer a concentration OF ef-
fort regardless of expense against Whit
man alone and general indifference to
others Of the Progressive ticket, inciud-
ing the nominee for Senator.
On the other hand, such a concentrated
attack on Whitman would arouse the
Republicans all the more and work
nightly in getting the voters interested
and to the polls on election day. Besides.
the average Republican voter does not
know much about Whitman, and the
prominence given him by the attacks OF
the enemy will arouse more interest IN
the man and relegate the objections to
Boss Barnes and the organization to =
place OF secondary Importance.
