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, Hershey M. Miller, and Professor Howard Wert united in predicting the loan would go through if the public was made fully aware of the situation. After the meeting, a statement was prepared at the business session. In it, the Walnut Street Bridge Association 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 Hill traffic and pedestrian problems. 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 bad, a member of the committee said that even men hesitate to climb it late at night. The committee claims the bridge would offer a direct route to Reservoir Park and would mean ready access to the Harrisburg, East Harrisburg, Jewish and Lincoln cemeteries.

B. Critehfield, who retires today as Secretary of Agriculture, has a host of friends in Harrisburg and is one of the best-known agricultural authorities in Pennsylvania. Mr. Critehfield, 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, 1838, 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 Burnett, 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 Volunteers 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 service as county superintendent, he purchased 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 citizens 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 establishment.

Pleasant, Pa., as the most important 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 board. In his own county, he has held, in addition to having been county superintendent of public schools, the position of school director, prothonotary of the court of common pleas and clerk of criminal courts. In 1890, he was elected to the Senate of Pennsylvania from the Thirty-sixth district composed of the counties of Somerset, Bedford, and Fulton, and was re-elected in 1894. During most of the time, he served in the Senate, he was chairman of the Committee on Agriculture 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 organization of the board he was elected vice-president. The president, the board, who was dean of the Agricultural College of Russia, was called home shortly after the board began its work and the chairmanship devolved upon Mr. Critchfield. The satisfactory manner in which he conducted the business of the board was attested by the fact that the Committee on Awards endeavored to make arrangement with him to go to Washington 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. Critchfield's term of service in the Senate he has devoted his entire attention to his business as a farmer. On February 18, 1903, he was appointed Secretary of Agriculture by Governor Samuel W. Pennypacker; reappointed by Governor Stuart on February 25, 1907, and reappointed by Governor Tener on February 27, 1911.

Income Tax "at the Source" May Be Killed Special to The Telegraph Washington, D.C., Oct. 15. The "Withholding clause" of the Federal income tax law is under heavy fire in the United States Supreme Court. Able lawyers who heard the arguments yesterday and the comments of the Justices admit they would not be surprised if the Court held that feature to be unconstitutional. Otherwise, the law seems able to withstand successfully attacks from eminent counsel. The attacking lawyers 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 operation of the "withholding clause," under which the Government appears to be taking private property for public use without just compensation, is in violation of the dip 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 arguments yesterday. John C.
