BOOSTERS THINK
LOAN WILL CARRY
Walnut Street Bridge Associa
tion Holds Big Meeting;
Would Believe Traffic
Boosters of the $300,000 loan for the
proposed Walnut street viaduct held a
meeting in the assembly room of the
Mt. Pleasant Kire Company last even
ing. Prior to the meeting: a big parade
headed by the Penbrook band marched
over the principal sections of the Hill.
The five speakers. William L Loeser,
Charles E. Pass. Charles N". Shaver,
Hershev M. Miljer and Professor How
ard Wert united in predicting the loan
would fro through if the public was
made fully aware of the situation
After the meeting a statement was
prepared at the business session. In
it ihe Walnut Street Bridge Associa
tion said it was advocating a bridge,
not from political motives but because
the improvement was an absolute
necessity. In addition to costing less
to build than to -widen the Market
street subway, the statement said, the
bridge would provide a connecting link
with the Cumberland Valley, a boon
for the outlying district north and east.
The bridge, they think would also solve
all Hilll traffic and pedestrian prob
lem s.
Another argument advanced is the
constant danger to women and children
who are forced to climb the lonesome
State street hill at night. Conditions
are getting so had. a member of the
committee said that even men hesitate
to climb it late at night. The com
mittee claims the bridge would offer
a direct route to Reservoir Park ancf
would mean ready access to the Har
risburg. East Harrisburg. Jewish and
Lincoln cemeteries.

N. B. CRITCHFIELD
Who retire to-day as Secretary of Agriculture
X. B. Critehfield. who retires to-day
as Secretary of Agriculture, has a host
of friends in Harrisburg and is one
of the best-known agricultural au
thorities in Pennsylvania. Mr. Criteh
field, whose term expired last Spring,
but who had consented to serve until
the selection of a successor, was not a
candidate for reappointment.
Secretary Critehfield has had a long
and interesting career. He -was born
in Somerset county. Pa., July 20, IS3S,
and was educated in the public and
normal schools of his native county
and at the Ohio University, located at
Athens, Ohio. On the 9th of June.
1859, he was married to Eliza Jane
Burn worth, who is also a native of
Somerset county. The first two years
of his business life were devoted to
teaching.
In 1862, he entered the Union Army
in the war of the Rebellion, his first
service being with the One Hundred
and Seventy-first Pennsylvania Militia,
a nine months' regiment. At the close
of his first term of service he entered
the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania Vol
unteers with which regiment he
served until the close of the war.
Upon his return from the army in
1865 he again took up the profession
of teaching, and the following Spring
he was elected to the office of county
superintendent of public schools of
Somerset county.
Before the close of his term of serv
ice as county superintendent he pur
chased a farm in his native township,
since which time he has devoted his
attention almost entirely to farming,
leaving the farm only as he has been
temporarily called by his fellow citi
zens to other lines of work. He has
always been a devoted friend of the
cause of education and he regards his
work in connection with the establish

Third St., at Briggs
I merit of the Western Pennsylvania
Classical and Scientific Institute, at
! Mt. Pleasant, Pa., as the most Impor
j tant work of his life. He still retains
his place on the board of trustees of
that institution and is one of the very
few charter members of the hoard.
In his own county he has held. In
addition to having been county super-
I intendent of public schools, the posi
! tion of school director, prothontary
of the court of common pleas and
clerk of criminal courts. In IS9O, he
1 was elected to the Senate of Pennsyi-
I vania from the Thirty-sixth district
! composed of the counties of Somerset,
i Bedford and Fulton, and was re
j elected in 1894. During: most of the
j time he served in the Senate he was
chairman of the Committee on Agri
culture in which capacity he devoted
special attention to the agricultural
interests of the State.
In 1593, he was appointed by the
National Commission of the World's
Columbian Exposition a member of
the board of judges in the Department
of Agriculture, and upon the organi
zation of the board he was elected
vice-president. The president the
board, who was dean of the Agricul
tural College of Russia, was called
home shortly after the board began
its work and the chairmanship de
volved upon Mr. Critchfield. The sat
isfactory manner in which he con
ducted the business of the board was
attested by the fact that the Com
mittee on Awards endeavored to make
arrangement with him to go to Wash
ington at the close of the exposition
and prepare for publication a full
history of the agricultural exhibit at
the great fair. Since the close of Mr.
Critchfleld's term of service In the
Senate he has devoted his entire at
tention to his business as a farmer.

pointed Secretary of Agriculture ■by-
Governor Samuel W. Pennypacker: re
appointed by Governor Stuart on Feb
ruary 25 .1907, and reappointed bv

Income Tax "at the
Source" May Be Killed
Sfecial to The Telegraph
Washington. D. C., Oct. 15. The
"withholding clause" of the Federal in
come tax law is under heavy tire in the
United States Supreme Court. Able
lawyers who heard the arguments yes
terday and the comments of the Jus
tices admit they would not be surprised
if the Court held tfcat feature to be
unconstitutional.
Otherwise the law seems able to
withstand successfully attacks from
eminent counsel. The attacking law
yers have admitted In open court that
they are not contending that an income
tax. as such. Is unconstitutional, but
they charge that the present law is a
discriminatory statute and therefore
class legislation and that the opera
tion of the "withholding clause," under
which tiie Government appears to be
taking private property for public use
without just compensation. Is in viola
tion of the dnp process clause of the
Federal Constitution and that feature
ought to fall.
The comments from the bench were
not favorable to the law In the argu
ments yesterday.

Youthful Probationer
Musn't Think of
Marrying Says Court
If the youthful Roy Brooks had any
fond hopes of marrying and settling
down in the near future, he had them
rudely shattered this morning by
President Judge Kunkel when the boy
appeared in probation court. Brooks
was released under suspended sent
ence several months ago following his
conviction of burglarizing the St.
James Hotel. He went home and to
day his bondsman appeared with Roy
to tell the court what a good boy he's
been. "He's even been thinking of
getting married. I believe, Your
Honor," added the bondsman.

Judge Kunkel. "Let this be under

until he has been released from his
parole he can not take a wife unto
himself. We don't want to be placed
in a position perhaps of being called
upon to care for his family."
Jacob Judy was given until January
sessions to settle up a long standing
bill for costs imposed upon him in a
suit more than a year ago.
Tears were shed profusely in
