What the Exceptions Mean

The first four exceptions relate &c
the establishment OF pier lines IRON
the bulkhead of the outer harbor and
were made because piers may be con-
structed Immediately without much
dredging and thus provide soon for
greater commerce in deep water ship
ping. The widening of the west chan
mel of the outer harbor Is in line WITH
ais deep shipping idea, as by widening
it provision is made for making SLIP
on either side for long craft and give
adequate room for the maneuverlnt
of vessels of 400 or more feet. TIT
vision of the harbor lines board seem
to see utility for as many such slips
as may be made.
The fifth exception relates to thu
Koyer crook, east of the MI on I'M
Miner concession. The omission was
caused by the failure of Koyer, 1t Ii
understood, to sign an agreement
deemed necessary by Gen. Leach before
the crook could be included as par
of the harbor scheme. Koyer, II II
understood, claims a right to continue
under his riparian rights with filling
TO deep water and the Miner conces
sion is an obstacle. The crook pro
posed was alleviatory. Litigation Il
regarded as inevitable over the Koyel
holdings.
The sixth and seventh exceptions are
changes deemed desirable for the eas'
of shipping and incidentally provides
a large water facility near the SAL
Lake railroad terminus. The eightf
exception is similar in design.
The ninth exception omits a slip o.
the .Kerckhoff- Curzon Lumber com
pany and incidentally widens the turn
ing basin In the inner harbor wnicf
now has 1000 feet diameter by abou
100. IT also relieves the government
of work incidental to the slip.
The twelfth exception is a change II
width asked by the Banning compan!
and is the only request of that com
pany conceded.
The thirteenth exception acconiho
dates the Salt Lake railroad, the Bllnh
Robinson Lumber company and TN
National Lumber company, making al
easy curve and allows shipping TO III
easy under tides. 1t was deemed un
important in view of the fact that III
slips were contemplated at this point.
The fourteenth exception is Jus
what Wilmington wanted. 1t make
the municipality owned land service
able in a wide sense and widens tn
eastern arm of the Y-shaped basin an
gives n wider channel at Canal stree
and a larger public frontage.
There is no change made in the ives
basin of the inner harbor and its turn
ing diameter remains 2200 feet. Tn
interests urged 1900 feet as sufncleht.

ton; also that the easterly arm be
located as at present. except that IT
shall be 400 fact wide instead of $50
feet, the additional fifty feet being
ADDED on the northwesterly side.
is. That no change be made in the
pise Of the east basin. and that while
no harbor lines will be recommended
beyond that basin, an opening will be
left for the channel 900 feet wide run

Long Beach harbor.
The board desires to state. however.
that It will receive and carefully con-
slider any further papers in support OF
proposed changes that have not been al
lowed. and for new changes up to the
time when report is finally forwarded

MAJOR LENT WINS
AND NAMES 60 IN
THE TAX REPORT
State Editor Changes His Mind
After Protest OF Essex
Man.

william Cloke, State editor, has re-
considered his determination to blue
pencil out of the report of the State
Board of Tax. Equalization the lists of
local assessors and tax collectors, and
they will be printed in the report, as
usual.
1t was the elimination of this matter
that caused a clash on Tuesday in the
State House corridor between Major
Carl Lentz, president of the State Tax
Board, and Mr.. Cloke. The conflict of
opinion between the officials led to a
conference with Governor Fort.
Mr.. Cloke had a later conference with
the Governor, and today Major Lentz
received from Mr.. Cloke the following
letter, dated last Tuesday:
MY Dear Major-On consultation
with the Governor since seeing you this
afternoon, he suggested that it NIGH
be wise to retain in your report the list
of local assessors and COLLECTORS l con-
Cured in the, Governors suggestion and
have. written to the News Printing
Company, Paterson, to that effect"
The majors protests we're supple
mented by those of various officials
throughout the State who hayesdealings
with tax assessors and collectors in all
parts OF the State. and who have no
other convenient way of getting the
names and addresses of the officials
than through the report of the State
board. .

0STERBERC'S RAID
ON OWN HOME To
END IN DIVORCE
Arrest of Wife and Frank Hanus
Follows Husbands Appear
ance With Officer.

AS the result of an unexpected visit
from her husband, Eugene E. Oster-
berg, early today, Mrs. Alice Colin Os-
terberg, of 7 Kossuth street, and Frank
Hanus, a gold smelter, of "a Elm street,
are under $500 bail for the action of the
grand jury, and the husband has en-
gagged Henry Pomerehne to bring suit
for divorce. ;.H,'' s
The 81 involves many sensational
features, beginning with the attempt
at. suicide by Osterberg in March last,
caused, it is believed, by jealousy. He
cut his throat and was committed, I'M
Justly, he says, to the Morris Plains
insane asylum, where Mrs. Osterberg
thought he was last night.
When Osterberg was released from
the institution two weeks ago he did
some detective work. as the result of
which he called in Justice, of the Peace
Bossett last night. With ,Bossett and
two constables he went to his wife's
house and arrested the couple. 90
Mrs. Osterberg eluded the officers ana
rushed out into the street, where she
was caught, lightly, attired, by a Third
Precinct policeman.
The O~sterbergs have been married
about nine years and have three chill
dren, two of whom were sent to the
Home of the Friendless, in South Or
ange avenue, upon Osterberg's commit
ment to the asylum.
Hanus conducts a gold, silver and
brass refinery at 131 New Jersey Rail-
road avenue. Osterberg is at present
living at 2O5 West Twenty-ninth street,

the Standard purchased the Pacific
Coast Oil Company. of California, In

italization was increased byt successive
stages to ST., 900, 900 in 1906. when the

Company of California.
Mr.. Kellogg desired to know that II
it was not a fact that in 1871, before
the Standard was formed, the per-
centage of export of refined oil to crude
productions was not greater than to-
day, when it is only Is per cent.
IT could not say" replied the witness
Certainly since then there has beer
an immense production of low-grade OF,

Replying to a question, Mr.. Archbold
