Attorney Oeneral Merton E. Lewis ma first depnty to Attorney Oeneral Bgbnrt B. Woodbury until the latter aaslgned on account of ill health. The ^tr of directing the work of prepara- tMa and trial of daim^ .^igainst the atote devolved upon Mr! Leiwis aa first 4apnty. In the threa yeara be hss had «%arKe of this work Attorney Genoral liawis has worked diligently to dis¬ pose of all the claims ajraln.st the state crowing out of the construi-tinn of the %arse cannl and the general Improve- ¦aeot of the state hlghwayn.

Since Mat time additional claims to the •iflBonnt of about $26.000.00t> have been Hied. Against the best legal talent in the state, employed by the claimants, only constant vigilance on the pnrt of 1*e Attorney General hae availed to protect the atate treasury from un- 4«msded and exaggerated claims.
He urged and eecured the roorganl- aation of the Caurt of Claims aad the appointment of Judjfes who would de¬ bate thnlr entire time to the work.

HKR PRAISE FOR JUSTICE FABER
In recognition ot hiia Integrity, his character and ability, hla eminent fit¬ ness and hla high standing in the pro¬ fession, Oovernor Charlea 8. Whitman has appointed T^eander B. Faber, of Jamaica, aa a Jiistlcc of the Stipreme Court. The news of Mr. Faber's ap¬ pointment as a Supreme Court Judge was received with great favor hy the residents and lawyers of the entire district, who deemed that the ap¬ pointment by the Oovernor was a seal of approval of Mr. Faber's candidacy for that office. The people of the dis¬ trict who have come in contact with Mr. Faber and know hla character and worth are sure that he will main¬ tain- the high standards of the office. No man may he better Judged than by hla Intimates, who have known him a.H man and boy his entire life.
Henry A. Monfort, who for over a rjiiarfer of a century waa the recog¬ nized leader of the bar of Ivong Isl¬ and. In writing to William W. Oillen, chairman of the Leander B. Faher Queens County Lawyers* Committee, has the following to say In endors¬ ing Mr. Faber's candidacy:
Mr. Kaber, who has been honored with the nomination for one of the of¬ fices of Justice of the Supreme Court to he filled at the coming election, has attained the higb and honorable posi¬ tion at the bar, that he occupies to¬ day, largely by his own unaided ef¬ forts. He la, indeed, a self-made man, whose character and attainments his fellow citizens may well take pleas- nre In according honor.
In the spring of 1882 a bright hoy, of some fourteen years of ag«, ap-
I piled for tha poaltion of oflice boy tn my law oflice at Jamaica. He tamed out to be the eon ol Bernard I>. Fa- hrr. who for many yeans carried on n shoe store sf that plare. He was employed; and thus began an asso¬ ciation which was destined to cnn- tlnne, with a slight intermission, for nearly thirty years. He remained with me, a portion of the time attend Ing a business college in Brooklyn at night, until the fall of 1R86.
By that time he had determined to study for the law, andf I urged him to leave the office and contlntie hla gen¬ eral studies for a time. This he final¬ ly concluded to do, and for a year or so attended one of the higher schools In Manhattan At the expiration of this period he returned and settled down to the study ot law in earnest, during all the time serving me with the ulmost fidelity and dlltgence In the prosecution of the work ot the office.
In the fall nf 1892 he applied for admission to the bar and waa admit¬ ted. Thereafter he continued to as¬ sist me with my growing practice, and 1 was no well pleased with his work that in the aprlng of 1898 he became my partner, as the Junior member ot the firm of Monfort and Faber.
We continued in practice together tor the next fifteen years, when fall¬ ing health compelled me to retire, and tbe firm having heen dissolved in Sep¬ tember, 1911, the entire burden of a very considerable practice fell upon his shoulders. Since then he haa con- tinned In practice with signal suc¬ cess.
His long association with me, as boy and man, as office hoy, law clerk and flnally ae partner, enables me to speak with the utmost confidence as to hia character, ability and attain¬ ments; and it affords me no little pleasure to offer my testimony to his learning and ability as a lawyer and worth as a man.
