It was then an nounced Tlife railnxd- "iieople that Frank Harvey Fields would open the ar gument for lhe railroads, and that Frank Gallagher, chairman- Tf lhe Municipal Civil Service Commission, would speak last, and in favor of the project. Beside the numerous representatives of civic orgaulzalions present, two priests of Catholic churches appeared to protest against aa trolley Hue on Fourth avenue.

Priests Speak in Opposition. They were Father James Donohue of St. Thomas Aquinas Church, who said that he represented a palish of 8.000 persons, and Father Valarian of Our Lady of i'eace, Carroll street and Fourth avenue. Mr. Fields, in opening the case for the railroad, attempted to show the necessity for a connecting link between the ('.

i. and I). lines and the. congested traffic center at Flatbush avenue and Fulton street. He said it was where the traffic from two bridges, the Manhattan and Brooklyn structures, converged with the end of the Interhorough tunnel and the Long Island Railroad terminus.

The C. I. and hn declared carried more than 40,000.000 passengers a year and that these passengers bad no means of getting to that central traffic point over the C. I. and B.

lines without paying an extra fare. He told Mr. Steers that consents of more then one million dollars of property along Fourth avenue had been already obtained by the railroad for the construction of the line and prophesied that it would only be a few years when there would be a trolley line the full length of the avenue. He said that Fourth avenue was a failure as a business proposition because of the fact that It had no trolley line. Stores on Fourth avenue, be said, rented for $18 and $20 a month when similar ones on Fifth avenue, -where there was a trolley, rented for $30 and $40 a month.

Fourth avenue, he argued, was wide enough to carry the trolley line and any amount of other truck traffic likely to be put upon it. Superintendent of Highways Major John W. Tumbridge read a resolution passed at yesterday's meeting of the Brooklyn City Planning Committee, In which the members of the committee expressed strong opposition to the granting of the franchise.

Hooper, Jacob Kllnck, William D. Nlper, John F. Gels and Guy du Val. In taking action against the franchise last night the executive committee of the league based the grounds for its opposition upon the already congested condition of traffic in the vicinity of the Long Island Railroad station, which the committee members declared, would be increased by the new line, and because they believed that Fourth avenue should be kept free of trolley lines and for vehicular use only. A committee hearing Including, In addition to the above-named men, who were at the hearing today, former Senator Charles H.

MISCtlLAXEOUS. Diplomatic Message From Knox Saves Deposed President of Mexico. WORST FATE MAY BE EXILE.

Possibilities of the New Administra tion Greatly Worries the Residents of Mexico City. Washington, February 21 Francisco I. Madero, deposed President of Mexico, will not be railroaded to Jail, thrown In a madhouse or summarily executed by Provisional President Huerta, according to reports today from Ambassador Wil son. Madero, the ambassador reports, will be given a fair trial and possibly the worst fate that will await him will ba exile. Secretary Knox, with the approval of President Taft, had Instructed Ambassador Wilson to convey to Huerta In diplomatic terms the intimation that the United States would seriously object to a summary execution of sentence of Madero.

It was not felt here that the former President should be slaughtered or put out of the way for crimes which seemed purely political, without a fair and open tilal. This view was made plain to Huerta and the fact was not concealed that the United States looked with disfavor upon the shooting of Gustavo Madero. tho President's brother. The administration's attitude toward the provisional government in Mexico was discussed at today's Cabinet meeting. President Taft and Mr.

Knox have never believed, It la said, that Madero was a stpong President for a republic sown with revolution. They have be lieved, however, that he had displayed many humane traits and that he Is entitled to a hearing. They have no particular interest other than that of humanity In what is done with him, If It Is done In iegal fashion. Reports From the American Consuls in Mexican Cities.

Berlin, February 21 The Mexican situation came up for discussion In the Imperial Parliament today when Gottlieb von Jagow, the Foreign MinlBter, replied to an interpellation by the National Liberals as to what measures the Imperial Chancellor had taken for the protection of Germans in Mexico. He declared that Germany had not sent any warships to Mexico, as the cruises Bremen, the only vessel available, was on the way to Philadelphia from the Bermudas. She was going there to undergo repairs which could not be postponed. The Foreign Office had learned through Count Bernstorff, the German Ambassador at Washington, that the United States warships in Mexican waters, which were numerous, had been instructed to give refuge to all foreigners, Including Germans, and as far as possiblo to protect their property. The German Foreign Office had heartily thanked the United States government for this offer.

LAWYERS MAKE KICK Don't Like Trial Methods in Part Six, Supreme Court. A special committee of the Brooklyn Bar Association, claiming that fair trials could not be held In Part 6 of the Supreme Court, called upon Supreme Court Justice Townsend Scudder this afternoon to ask that a change be made In the mode of conducting trlalB In that courtroom. This action was taken as a result of a strenuous protest made last evening at the meeting of tho Bar Association, where several members spoke earnestly against the method of selecting JurleB and summing lip to them out of the hearing of the Justice who ia presiding. Attorney Edward J. Byrne started the ball rolling last evening by a simple relation of the procedure followed.

The complaint is that three or four trials are under way at the same time lu the same courtroom under tho same JuBtlce, with tho result that it is impossible that a fair and impartial trial can be held. To hasten the cases and cause as little delay as possible, it has been the custom for the lawyers and the Jury In one case, as soon as the evidence is in, to adjourn to a little room at one side of the courtroom, where the two lawyers sum up, out of tho hearing of tho Judges. Meantlmo another trial Is on in the courtroom, villi the Jury In place hearing evidence. This 13 at the front of the room, while at tho hack of tho room the Jury In the next case is being selected by the lawyers out of the hearing of the Judges. Thus are three cases on at a time, and, it is claimed, sometimes oven four cases are going on at once.

The lawyers complain bitterly of this. I They maintain that a Justice shall pre- side throughout the trial of a case, and that this means that he shall listen to the selection of tho Jury and to the summing up. MILLICENT H. FROST DEAD. Mlllicent Hutehings Frost, wife of Ray.

Exemption of Heights Properties of Russellites Referred to Corporation Counsel. NOT RELIGIOUS IS CHARGE.

Strange Vow of "Pastor's" Followers Read at Hearing by Tax Commissioners. The question of whether or not "Pastor" Charles T. Russell and his followers In the People's Pulpit Association shall receive a tax exemption on property which they now own to! occupy as a headquarters at 12J124 Columbia Heights and at 13-15-17 Hicks street, is now under consideration by the Board of Tax Commissioners. At the conclusion of the public hearing which was granted yesterday to resident and nelghDors of "Pastor" Russell and bis flock ta the Heights section. President Law ion Purdy of tha board announced that they would refer the matter to the Corporation Counsel for advice and make known their decision within a few days.

The property at the Columbia Heights address Is assessed for 100.000 and that at Hicks street, for $20,000. "Pastor" Russell wants a total exemption on these on the ground that they are used and 00-cupled solely for religious purposes. Heretofore they have been exempted, but this year, the tax commissioners growing skeptical 0 fthe great amount of business activity which was being displayed the buildings in printing and publishing the "Pastor's" tracts and other publications, placed an assessment 0 nthem and required the occupants to furnish proof that they were not occupied by a business run for profit. It Is rumored that "Pastor" Russell, through his lawyers and associates failed to produce satisfactory proof berore the Commission in this respect. People's Pulpit Association a Holding Company.

At the hearing, at which J. J. White represented those opposed to granting the exemption, it was brought out that the People's Pulpit Association Is merely a subsidiary company formed In this State to acquire property for the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Association, a Pennsylvania membership corporation, which, can. not acquire prperty In this State itself. Although the People's Pulpit Association holds title to the Brooklyn property, the Watch Tower Bible and Traction Association, It was brought out, holds such heavy mortgages on it that it practically covers the full value.

Anbody contributing $10 is eligible to have one voting share in the Watch Tower Bible and Trace Society, It was brought out, and there are about $160,000 worth of these voting shares. "Pastor" Russell has voted as high as $45,000 worth of this amount. It was admitted by his associates at the hearing. Strange Vow "Pastor's" Followers Are Called Upon to Take. The peculiar nature of the "vow" which is taken by the Russellites every morning was also brought out at the hearing.

It is as follows: "1. Our Father which art In heaven, hallowed be Thy name. May Thy rule come into my heart more and more, and Thy will be done in my mortal body. Relying on the assistance of Thy promised grace to help In every time of need, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, I register this vow. "2.

Daily will I remember at the throne of heavenly grace tho general Interests of the harvest work, and particularly the share which I myself am privileged to enjoy In that work, and the dear colaborers at the Brooklyn Taberuaclo and Bethel and everywhere. "3. I vow to still more carefully, if possible, scrutinize my thoughts and words and doings to the intent that I may be the better enabled to serve Thee and Thy dear flock. "4. I vow to Thee that I will be on the alert to resist everything akin to Spirit-Ism and Occultism, and that, remembering that there aro but the two masters, 1 will resist these snares in all reasonable ways, as being of the Adversary.

"6. I further vow that, with the exceptions below, I will at all times and in all places conduct myself toward those of the opposite sex in private exactly as I would do with them in public in the presence of a congregation of the Lord's people. "6. And, so far as reasonably possible, I will avoid being in the same room with any of the opposite sex alone, unless the door to the room stand wide open. "7.

210, early today fought their way through dense clouds of smoke that filled the hallways of 355 Myrtle avenue and rescued from the top floor two young women and three children woo were badly affected by smoke. The Are occurred In the cellar under the grocery, of Charles Hoagman. The flames had gained considerable headway before they were discovered, and when the firemen arrived the flrt floor of the three story brick structure, which Is occupied prncipally by negroes, was a seething furnace. The families on the lower floors were gotten out without trouble. The flames were at their height when the firemen learned that there were live persons in apartments on the top floor.

Ladders were quickly raised and Murray and Hooley went In through the windows. The children were taken out first. Then the firemen, weakened by the smoke, went back, crawled along the floor and dragged the semi-conscious negroes out behind them. They managed to push their burdens over the window sill and they were lifted down by the other firemen. The firemen waiting on ladder seised Murray and Hooley and pulled them from the building as they were on the verge ol collapse.

The rescuers once In the fresii air quickly revived and went back to work. LECTURE TO MASONIC VETERANS At the monthly meeting of the Brooklyn Masonic Veterans tomorrow evening.

Many Cabinet lists have been made up on the ground or political availability, geographical distribution, or the fact that certain statesmen were "original Wilson men." These considerations will not control with Governor Wilson. a man happens to possess any or all of these qualifications, so much the better; but to get Into the Governor's Cabinet he will first have to fit Into the scheme of things, as planned by Mr. Wilson, and will have to possess, in the Governor's opinion, the qualities necessary to carry out those schemes. Fitness will be the controlling factor. The statement has been made in certain quarters that certain men, whose names have been mentioned, can have Cabinet places If they "want" them.

Nothing is further from the truth. The men who will enter the Cabinet will be there because Wilson "wants'' them, and not because, primarily, they want the jobs. What many an eminent statesman may "want" at this time bears no relation whatever to what he will get. Expect Final List Will Contain Several Surprises. When the Cabinet appears it will be absolutely a Woodrow Wilson affair.

It will very likely contain two or three names that have not yet beeii mentioned in connection with It. It will be made up with a natural regard for geography, because common sense points to that. But the big element in It will be pro-gresslveness. Governor Wilson wants progressive Democrats about him, no mat. ter where they come from efficient ones, constructive ones, wise ones, if possible; but always men who will work along the Hues be himself has mapped out.

There are four other men who may well be found in Governor Wilson's Cabinet, and if they are chosen they will go in because of special qualifications. One of these Is David R. Francis of Missouri. Mr. Franeis was Secretary of the Interior for two years under President Cleveland and prior to that was Governor of his State and Mayor of St.

Louis. The Interior Department will be a most Important one under the incoming administration. It will have to deal with the warring of the States rights men and the nationalists over the disposition of public lands and natural resources all over the country. Mr. Francis is identified openly with neither of these factions, while such men as Edwin L.

N'orrls of Montana and Alva Adams of Colorado are. Moreover, Mr. Francis is a man of tried ability and experience. Brandeis a Strong Favorite Among the Guessers. Louis D.

Brandeis of Massachusetts is a strong favorite on the Cabinet list. If he goes in it will probably be as Secretary of Commerce and Labor aud not as Attorney General. Brandeis, being distinctly radical along many lines, would create something of a sensation in the ai-tornev generalship. In the other portfolio he would not look so startling, while Mr. Wilson would none the less have all of the Brandeis progressiveness at his elbow any time he wanted to make use of it.

A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania, 0 Representative In Congress, Is probably tha best speculative choice for the Treas ury. Mr. Palmer is a young Democrat of legal ability, of political acumen and progressiveness. His legal connections with certain railroads are regarded by many as a bar to the attorney generalship, although It would not astonish many If Governor Wilson should ignore this objection.

Palmer Ib a very strong Wilson man; but which is more to the purpose-he Is the kind of Democrat who can most help Wilson In carrying out his programme. William G. McAdoo is first in the bet-ling for New York's Cabinet member, it being taken for granted that tho Empire State will have a representative. McAdoo happens to be an original Wilson man, but he also happens to be a person of larere business and executive experi ence. He muy be either Secretary of the Navy, Secretary of War, or even Secretary of the Treasury.

Now, there are five very likely Cabinet men. They are "available" from the purely political standpoint, and they possess caliber. Following these, a long list of names can be written. In fact, such lists are daily appearing. The trouble with a lot of the men who are being llsled is a lack of "class." They are not heavyweights.

They are getting their names on the mention list, either because of political considerations or because they were "original WilBon men." Such qualifications will not hurt them, hut neither will they land them In the Cabinet in tho absence of any other merits. Many Who Are Not Looked On as Likely to Land. Here are some names, for Instance, that may be found on Governor Wilson's final list, along wun Bonie mat are receiving constant mention, but which, In the judgment of most of their acquaintances, lack the necessary Josephus Daniels of North Carolina, Senator Oba-dlah Gardner of Maine, ex-Governor Joseph W. Folk of Missouri, Charles It. Crane of Illinois, William C.
