Tax Hearing

The commissioners held a special
session several days the first OF
the week hearing the protests OF
farmers and land owners under
some of the bitches against the
assessments made by the assessor
after the board of equalization had
passed on the tax schedules. An
additional personal assessment was
made in many instances for water
held in excess of a certain amount
fixed by the assessor as the neces-
sary proportion for a farm. 1t was
this additional assessment to which
strenuous objections were being
made and also the fact that it
was added without notice after the
schedules being passed on by the
equalization board AS the state
that all tax refunds hereafter must
be allowed by them instead of the
board of commissioners it be-
comes important to have the exact
amount of taxes fixed before any
payment is made. Many land own
ers were present during the hear
| ings but no definite action has yet
been taken by the board. The de-
cision of the supreme court in
| the Pitcher case would seem to pre-
vent any arbitrary change by the
assessor after the levies were pass
ed. Especial objections was made
by the land owners under the new
Marvel canal as many of them are
being asked to pay 1912 taxes on
water rights when they have never
had any water delivered. and they
feel that their rights should not be
taxed at least until they are
disable.

LANTERMAN LANDS
POSTMASTERSH|P.
President Wilson Ignores Con-
gresham Mccoy for East
Orange Position.
LFrom . stnn correspondent.l

WASHINGTON, D. G, April pa
E. Tracey Lanterman is to be post-
master at East Orange. President
Wilson sent his nomination for the
office to the Senate this afternoon.
Both Senators Hughes and MARITIME
said today that they would vote to
confirm Lanterman's appointment.
Lanterman was backed by Mayor
Julian A. Gregory, of East Orange,
and members of the Woodrow Will
son Democratic League of Essex
county.
Although he is a cousin of Con-
gresham Walter I. Mccoy, the latter
had recommended his private secre-
tary Washington Cross, for the place.
Cross is secretary of the Essex
County Democratic Committee.
McCoy's identity with the Demo-
cratic organization in Essex county
is the explanation given for the action
of the President in ignoring his rec
ommendation of Cross. \ This is the
first case since inauguration in which
postoffice appointment has been
made directly contrary to the wishes
of the representative from the dis
trict.
The Star correspondent gave Con-
gresham Mccoy his first information
of the appointment of Lanterman this
afternoon.
Are you sure that the names is TO
go in?" asked the congressman.
Assured that the name was on the
list Mr.. Mccoy at first refused to
make any comment on the matter.
Have you seen the President or
been consulted about the East Or
ange office?" he was asked.
"All that | have known of it, said
the congressman, sis that some time
ago I received a circular letter from
the postmaster general asking me to
make a recommendation for the
place. | sent in the recommendation
of Mr. Cross, and have had one in
terview with Mr.. Burleson since.
Otherwise l have not been consulted
or had any information about the
situation other than what have
obtained from unofficial sources"
do you think you should have been
consulted?" Mr.. Mccoy was asked.
Later Mr. Mccoy issued the fol-
lowing statement
81 recommended Mr.. Cross for APP
pointment to the position of post
master at East Orange because I
knew him to be eminently qualified
and because / believed from the point
Of view of services rendered to the
Democratic party he was entitled to
the position. After an acquaintance
with Mr. Cross of more than fifteen
years. which has been particularly in
innate during the last two years,
while he has done me the favor to
be my congressional secretary, hold
Mr.. Cross in the highest esteem, and
sincerely regret that he has been dis
appointed" Fl. B. W.

CORNELL'S PERFECT GIRL
FLEES FROM ADMIRERS

NEW YORK. April 24.-Elsie
Scheel, the physically perfect
woman" according to authorities at
Cornell, where she was coed, has
been forced to flee from her summer
home at Sayville, Long Island. be-
cause of her very perfection.
Miss Scheel was and is perfectly
formed, but she is not perfectly
happy. Natives of Sayville, where
Miss >Scheel had rented the Collins
cottage, manifested so much interest
in those proportions which were called
most symmetrical among modern
women that life became burden.
The Cornell Venus, who is said to
rival in perfection the Venus de Milo,
eats beefsteak, and likes it better
than anything else. She has no wor-
ries over questions of diet. She is an
athlete.
1t was said in Sayville today that
Miss Scheel had searched out a place
in New Jersey where not even the
mosquitoes are inquisitive. There she
will try to spend quiet summer and
forget that she is the modern Venus.
