The protest was voiced by Messrs. Agnew, Coiton, Stanley. Prentice, Beibiif and Murphy. Mr. Heihilf argued particularly for the exemption of mortgages held by building loan anJ savings associations.

Governor Higgins declined to deviate from his altitude of non-interference wilh legislation. Speaker Nixon was asked to arrange to have ihe bills go through the regular course bm he rppiiCi all plans were made, and declined to interfere.

Express Service Through the Heart of the Business Center Now Seems Assured. A plan for four-traclitng the Kulton Street subway was submitted lo the Rapid Transit Commission by the Inlerborough. Company to-day. The plan is Independent ot other propositions and contracts and, as it meets with the approval of the Rapid Transit Commission's engineers, will probably be udoptcd. It will assure the completion of a four-trark subway on Kulton street much sooner ami at considerably less expense and Inconvenience to the property owners than would have been the case If the four tracks had not been put.

in all at the same time. Tlie plans of the Interborough Company provide for an express station at the Borough Hall, and mother express station at the corner of Flatbysh avenue and Fulton street. The Hoyt street station will remain a lo-cnl station, because the narowness of Fulton street makes it impracticable to establish an express station at that point. At the Flatbush avenue station the express platform and local platform will be located one above the other. Another important advantage evident In the plan Is that it is so arranged as t0 afford connections with subway extensions In Fourth avenue, Lafayette avenue, lower Fulton street, and with the Manhattan Bridge.

The letter In which the Interborough Company submits the plan reads as follows: "In view of the plans which your honor-Rble body has under consideration for extensions of the Rapid Transit Subway railroad system In the Borough of Brooklyn, and In order t0 avoid delay in completing the work embraced within the present contract with this eomnsnv your board will authorise a modiacation of the plans by providing for the construction of four tracks In Fulton street and Flat-bush avenue and at the Intersection of Atlantic and Flatbush avenues. "We make this application quite Independently of other plans now pending." The objection that Fulton street is not wide enough for the construction of four tracks side by side appears to have been answered in the plans of tho Interborough Company. As shown on the plan, the excavation for the four tracks will not extend under the sidewalks to a greater distance than one-third of their width, except on 'hat portion of Fulton street within two blocks of Flatbush avenue. 'bese blocks the entire vlth of the slewalK is taken up on one side of the street. It was understood by the Rapid Transit Commission that tho merchants on that section of Fulton street, near the Hoyt street station, would not object to this being allowed to remain a local station exclusively.

The street is not wide enough for the construction of express platforms, without going some distance beyond tho building line on both sides of the street. As It Is only a short distance to cither the express station at the Borough Hall or Flatbush avenue, It wns deemed best to allow tho Hoyt street station to remain a local station. The addltiou of connections with the Minimal tnn Bridge on the new four-track plan Is of considerable importance. If It had been necessary to delay the beginning of work ou the express tracks until the contract for other extensions of the subway system in Brooklyn had been let, it would have mean', a long wait. The letter of the Interborough Company expresses Its desire to do this work, irrespective of whether or not it secure tho contract for future subway extensions in this borough.

Well Known Real Estate Dealer Found Dead on Halsey Street Track at 4:30 A. M- RUN DOWN IN THE DARKNESS. Body Left Inhumanely by Railroad Employes and Coroner Will Investigate. The body of Isaac Benton, a well to do real estate dealer, whose home was at 102 Lewis avenue, was found this morning on the Halsey street car track between Knickerbocker and Hamburg uvenues. The discovery was made by gome workmen who were on their way through Halsey street at 4:30 o'clock this morning.

There was a drizzle of rain and dawn was still far off. The street was deserted and there was no way of telling how loug the remains had been lying there. At first foul play was suspected, but a later examination of the body by the police and an ambulance surgeon showed that there was only one theory of the man's death which was tenable. He had unquestionably been struck by a passing ear and probably thrown some distance by the fender. His skull was crushed and the right shoe had been torn from the foot.

The foot Itself was badly mangled, as If It had been crushed under the car wheels. The place where the remains were found Is particularly lonely. It Is near Irving Park, and there is very little tvalllc there in the early hours of the morning. The men who found the body Informed Policeman Kiaen-roth of the Hamburg avenue station, and he and Roundsman Charles Anthony of the same station made the preliminary examination and called Ihe ambulance. Surgeon Wilson of the Dushwlck Hoipltal examined the remains, and decided that the man had been dead probably an hour and a half.

That would bring the possible time ot the accident at 3 o'clock. It seemed odd to the policemen that the finding of the body should have been left to passers by, and the only explanation of this Is that the motorman of the car which struck the man was so much frightened that, with Mb conductor, he probably hurried off, leaving the remains there, fearful that he might be arrested for criminal negligence. The inhumanity of such a proceeding will be the subject of Investigation by Coroner Williams, who has charge of the case, but the police have been, so far, unable to find out what car struck the man, although a part of a car fender was discovered not far from where the body was found. The Identity of Mr. Benton was established by means of papers which were found In his pockets.

Tho papers had not been disturbed, proving that he had not been assaulted by thieves. Mr. Benton was a man who had many friends and no enemies, so far as can beascertained, so the belief that he was ac; cidintally run over Is the most reasonable solution of the mystery. He must have been standing near the car tracks and the wonder is that he did not hear the approach of the car. for at that hour of the morn-tng, in the it Illness, there would seem to bo no reasonable excuse for any such mishap.

The cars, during the dark hours of the early morning, are run at a high rate of speed In this neighborhood, and it Is possible that the motorman whose car struck him had no time to shut off tho power or to bring his car to a standstill before the man was struck down. The body was taken to the Hamburg avenue police station and later tho relatives of the dead man were notified. It chanced that Mrs. Benton had been sick for some time and the notification of her husband's death came In a roundabout way from the dead man's son-in-law, Charles Lang of 13" Smith street. Long Island City.

Mr. Lang, who was found by the police, first Identified the body and then broke the news to the wife, who is prostrated. Benton lert home last night after his dinner to transact some business in connection, it is understood, with a real estate deal. He was to visit a friend on Halsey street, near the borough lines, and when he did not return home last night his wife was not worried, for the evening was very stormy and she supposed that he had been kept at his friend's house overnight. The police are trying to find out Just when he left his friend and thev are endeavoring to trace his movements from that point.

An effort is also being made to find out the car which struck him. There were three ears which left the barns between 2 o'clock and o'clock this morning and the police do not think It will he difficult. If they get the co-operation of the railroad people, to discover the name of the motorman who had charge of the car in question. There were $20 In Mr. Benton's pockots when he was found and his diamond studded stick pin was not missing.

Bassett's Letter From Governor. The response to the appeal made In yesterday's Eagle for an expression of opinion against the mortgage lax bill was prompt, enthusiastic and large. The result of one publication of the petition to Governor Higgins asking him to veto the bill, was the receipt by the Eagle of upward of eUO coupons signed by protesting citizens against the measure. Every class of the coniiiinuity Is represented in Ihe opposition. An is being made tn spread the report that only the real and speculative interests are opposing the bill.

The same committee did effective work three years when through its efforts on immense delegation was sent to Albany to oppose a similar measure. The opposition killed the bill then, and most of tho three hundred members making up the delegation believe they can kill It again. Th chairman of the commit lee is Georg E. Lovett, of 26 Court, street; ils treasurer Is Daniel F. Lewis, ex-president of the Brooklyn City Railroad, and its Becretary Is V.

F. Pelletreau. A Representative Committee. The membership of the committee of lhre hundred is thoroughly representative. Real estate is represented, other financial Interests have added their quota, but the small investor is represented, too.

and the man who owns no real estate but pays rent is not left without a voice. The building and loan associations are deeply Interested In the defeat of the measure, and the representatives ot labor unions are warmest in their opposition. The labor men see In the measure a double attack on them, as It would cripple the building boom from which they derive the good wages many of them are enjoying, and in crease the rents which a great number of them pay. The opposition voiced itself throughout the financial district almost as a monologue. Bank presidents and big real estate operators united in declaring that the measure if passed would be the greatest blow to Brooklyn that the Ingenuity of unfriendly legislators could devise.

"What's the use of fighting the bill?" President George W. Chauncey, of the Mechanics' Bank, said. "It will be pased and signed. Let the F.agle keep the people Informed as to the action of the local assemblymen on the bill, and keep at It, too, until these men come up for re-eleclion." Republican Clubmen Won't Face the Music. "I was at the I'nlon League Club last night." said George E.

Lovett, of Court street, "and couldn't find a Republican there. I never heard such dissatisfaction in my life as was expressed against the mortgage. tax bill." "The only salvation for this section nf the state." said Cornelius E. Donnellon, "Is separation from the northern and center portions of it. Make the division at Hudson, nnd let the up-state people Albany, the new capital and all.

I am a Republican but I certainly don't Intend to vote that way this year or the next." "Send a delegation to Albany the same as we did three years ago," said E. C. M. Fitzgerald, "and let the Governor see that wo mean business down here. I don't agree with the proposition that the bill Is "bound to beromo a law.

Energy and activity can beat it. even now." Mr. Calder Speaks Strongly. Representative William M. Calder, president of tho Builders Association, a body whose members borrow annually about JIO.000,000 on mortgage to be expended in improvement nnd deve'' nenet of real estate In Kings who was building commissioner under the Low city administration, expressed to-day his warm opposition to the mortgage tax bill.

He said: "There Is ine point against this measure that I have not seen brought out strongly by auy one in tbe discussion that the bill has provoked. It Is true that the personal tax law does not reach all mortgages, but It does reach some of them. Tho revenue of the city from this source would be cut off by the pending legislation. With the Immense cost of collection as correctly shown by Mr. Bailey, it Is a matter of doubt whether the one-hnlf of the net returp In Kings County from the mortgago tax would balance the returns from mortgages now In trust funds and incapable of shirking the personal tax.

"But the mom Immediate peril of tho bill lies, perhaps. In the fact that more than $:00. (100.000 nt the money now loaned on mortgages In this county la auhjeet to a thirty-day clause, permitting the mortgagee to foreclose at Ihe end of a month after Hny legislation coes Into effect changing the rate of interest.

April 5 President Roosevelt was routed out before breakfast to-day. Tho presidential special stopped ai Parsons, at 7:30 o'clock to change engines and crowd of 5,000 persons gathered around the private car Rocket and attracted the attention of the occupants by shouts of "Where Is he?" Several negroes culled, "We have been wajllng since 4 o'clock to see you." The President hurried his dressing and stepped to the rear plnlform, where he was cheered. Tho citizens of Parsons had sent to the ear a huge bunch of American Beauty rosea which was placed on the breakfast table. The crowd was not satisfied with merely seeing the President and In response to a demand for a speech he addressed the people briefly. He said: "Friends: 1 will Just bid you good morning.

I am so glad to be again In the Sunflower State. From the beginning I hove believed in your people, and 1 am more than grateful for the way your people showed your belief In me last November. It Ib not possible for any man in any position to promise that things will seem right. All thai he can promise Is that so far as in him lies he will do his part towards making them right. This I can promise, and do.

It is in one stage of life as it is In another. Right here 1 see one of the men who fought In the great war. All that he could do In that war was to do his part well, to do all that lay In him well. And that is what each one of us can do. whatever position he Is called to be.

It Is because of what you and the average man and woman of Kansas have done that Kansas Is so great a state; and It is that every man, from the President right through, has got to do if our country is to be what It should be. "To you people in Kansas, to you In whom I believe so much, there are Just one or two things I could say In this brief moment. There is nothing peculiar in the qualities you need In government that differentiates those qualities from the qualities yon need in having one private mnn deal with another. If a man is to be an advantage to the community In which he lives he must be a decent, square-dealing man, who does fairly by his' neighbor, and who takes care of his family.

Mr. Prentice (Republican) of Manhatan, spoke as follows: "I have opposed these tax hills and I went into the caucus and fought them there.

Mr. Woodruff's organl zation has declared It will be destroyed If the bills are passed. Some of the legislators do not know what to think of Brooklyn. IMwIn. K.

Howell. Fred C. Leubusrher, Thomas J. Skuse and Stephen W. Hamilton, representing the State anil Metropolitan lyeagttes of Co-operative Savings and Loan assnrlat ions, were in Albany to-day In the Interest of securing an exemption from mortgage taxation for the home owners of the co-operative associations.

They had an audience with Speaker Nixon. Leader Rogers and Chairman Lewis and Wade of the Taxation commttees of the Senate and Assembly, and also pleaded with the prominent Senators nnd Aseemblymen for exemption from taxation of their associations. The delegation believes that they convinced the lawmakers that mortgages for moderate amounts on homes should not be taxed. A double taxation on the mortgage and on the real estate would be the condition that their borrowing members would have to face unless exemption ie granted. HIT BY FALLING ROCK.

Mr. Higgins said the aesemblymen fhould not he too much disturbed, however, by talk that the passing or this bill or that would put the Republican party out of existence. He said that In his long legislative experience he had often heard the cry raised and that the catastrophe had never occurred. This protest came Horn people who bad to pay the tax. who capable of employing method of arons public sentiment by circulating literature petitions.

He remarked that a large ni Agnew had said be believed It very un- wise to force the bills to-day.

Mr. Prentice said the delegation did not come to ask the Coventor to Interfere, but to make a protest.

Mr. Wninw -ight said that the Impression was common the Governor was in favor of the bills anci thai they were to be jammed through to-day.

"I have no dsire to avoid responsihilitv." said the Governor, "for any legislation which meets my approval.

The onlv recommenda tions I have made to the Legislature in rc- garo to legislation, i have made bv mes sage. You have heard no word from me ad vocating any particular tax measures. We need revenue, and I am not In favor of going back tn a direct tax." Mr. Murphy, of Brooklyn, said he would stand by the action of the Republican caucus, nil hough it meant political suicide. "People are easily wrought up." said Mr.

Higgins. "they sometimes form entirely wrong conclusions. I have seen the Republican party iped oul many times in the last ten years. There are two sides to every question, nnd I am Quite sure that the sentiment in regard to these two measures is not unanimously In opposition." Nixon Had No Consolation to Offer Protestants.
