The difference in Oakland Township for the two years is caused by the recent an- neXation of much of the township by the city of Oakland.
 For three years the political feature of the summer has been the contest over the assessment of certain personal and railroad properties in this county. MT. Dalton has always placed upon the rolls the West Oakland switches, the mole, the Seventh-street local and the tracks, and each year they have been taken off by the County Board of Equaliza1on upon the advice of MT. Morehouse, ine mem Der of the State Board of Equalization from this district. B. Black Ryan knows just what to expect each July, and he comes over prepared with all kinds of documents to prove that his company Is being cinched.
 Each July MT. Dalton prepares to up- hold his assessments, and generally for about two weeks there is battle royal before the Board of Equalization. So far 1t has always ended in favor of the Southern Pacific Company, and this year there is some speculation as to what will be the result. In speaking or the matter to-day MT. Dalton said:
 ''I have placed the railroad properties on the rolls again, as believe they ought to be there. The County Board has taken them off for the last three years and have no idea what they will do this year. The portion of the water front which the Supreme Court says must be awarded to the Water Front Company has been aS- SeSSeQ to It dL q fdludllOll lllck SO4iSAA- CT very fair.
 "This years assessment roll Is an en- tirely new one. All the figures have been arrived at without regard for former as- sessments. Everybody knows that land Is not worth as much this year as 1t was last year. This county has been assessed too high, and the depreciation in value has made reduction of the assessment roll imperative. In the interior of the county especially, land has greatly de- creased in value and the same is true of many parts. of this city, particularly West Oakland. All the field deputies were in- structed to absolutely ignore precedent and to assess land for what 1t is actually worth and no more. have employed much expert assistance in compiling the roll and although it shows a big reduc- tion, believe it to be the correct value of this county for assessment purposes The Supervisors met as a Board of Equalization to-day and issued a notice that they are now ready to pass on the reduction and rating of assessments and to consider all applications concerning the roll coming from taxpayers.

existence for long time. Two years ago his parents separated. His father went East, and some time later his mother mo- boy on a train to go to his father. De Pue heard no more of the boy, and as he did not arrive at his Eastern destination he came to Oakland and began a search for the boy. Upon his arrival he was told that the boy must be lost, and on the theory that his son had disappeared De Pue set to work. He was not long in dis covering that the boy was never far away from his mother, and when he had proved this fact to his own satisfaction he instituted a suit for divorce and also tried to recover the lad.
 A week ago Judge Ogden decided that there was some informality in the pro- ceedings to recover the boy, and stated that he could not interfere pending the trial of the divorce suit. This evidently out another writ, made returnable to- morrow.

 It will be proposed that plans be submit ted to the Government for a bridge to cross the estuary east of Adams wharves, which will bring the structure to Fallon street As nearly all of the commerce of the estuary is transacted west of Lake Merritt, the building of a street bridge at Fallon street would leave but one bridge the HarriSOn-Street br1dge-tor SchOOnerS 10 navigate through in going up and down the harbor. The contract for the bridge at Webster street has already been let by the Supervisors, but nothing has been done toward commencing the work, and it is contended that it will cost no more to construct bridge at Fallon street than

 A tabulated statement of the number of vessels that have docked at the wharves in one year accompanies the protest showing that the tonnage reaches 1S4, ,345 tons.
 The directors of the Merchants Ex- change held special meeting this morn ing and passed a resolution stating that 1t would be an injury to the traffic be- tween Oakland and Alameda to remove Webster-street bridge, and indorsing the stand taken by. the Board of Trade. A del egation from the exchange will go to the meeting tomorrow morning.
 The City Council passed the following self-explanatory resolutions tonight:
 Resolved. That in the opinion of this Council It would be against the interests of the city of Oakland not to have the bridge across the estuary of San Antonio at Webster street re- constructed in accordance with the instructions of the United States engineers; and. be 1t further

SIX YEARS FOR RODGERS.
Sentence Imposed for the Killing of E. B. Halsey, by Judge
 Ellsworth.

OAKLAND, July 5-Judge Ellsworth sentenced Stacy Rodgers to San Quentin for six years this morning for killing B. E. Halsey in Berkeley on the night of March 29 last. The Judge stated that he made the sentence as light as possible, as he believed that there were certain miti- gating circumstances.
 MT. Rodgers was accompanied by his brother Leo, who has stood by him man. attorney, Judge E. M. Gibson. When the sentence was pronounced Rodgers dropped his head. his aunt kissed him and the scene was over. Rodgers and his attor- ney are satisfied with the sentence, be- lieving 1t a light one, and the prisoner Is anxious to begin his term, although he will not leave here till Saturday.

Hurt was coming out and he dropped his hand as soon as he saw the Deputy Sheriff. A moment later, realizing his mistake, he pointed the gun at Hurt s abdomen and but for the lively work ot Charley White would have fired. The Deputy Sheriff grappled with him, took away his gun and marched Schaefer to the County Jail.
 A little later MT. Hurt went before the District Attorney and swore to a war rant charging Schaefer with an assault to commit murder.
 Eye witnesses to the affair declare that Schaefer followed Hurt into the Sheriff s office and lay in wait outside, evidently expecting trouble. He had no particular business at the office, and no one knows what took him there. After his arrest he stated that he thought Hurt had his hand on his hip pocket and knowing him to have record as a fighter he simply pre- pared to defend himself.
 Tomorrow morning the writ of habeas corpus sworn out by the father whose long hunt for his children has been al- ready published will be heard before Judge Ogden. The three little ones are still at the Chabot home in care of their mother, and this latest escapade of their stepfather will undoubtedly have some eff feet on the disposition of the children.

Yesterday, for example, Mabel McKin- ney, another of the get of that reliable sire, Mckinney, trotted 8 mile in 2:7 fiat, and Inferno, son of the great Diablo, driven by the owner of that sterling horse, paced his first heat in 2:15. Alto gether, since the meeting opened, some sixty heats and races have been brought off, and only one has shown worse than FPS.
