President Joseph A. Mclaughlin, of Phila delphia, and followed the cele- brat1on of higIH mass at the Church of the Immaculate Conception. At the service Rev.

WHITNEY HAS
 LIVE MUSK OK
New Haven Hunter Wires He's Bringing Home Other Arctic
 Animals Alive

New Haven, Sept. 1.-The first word from Harry whitney of this city since he disappeared into he Arctic wilds last June has just been received by Col. N. G. Osborn of the Journal Courier as follows:
 "S. s. Boethic, Wireless via Battle Harbor, Aug. 30. and Cape Ray, N. cessful hunting trip. Have on board live musk OK, bear, walrus, foxes. Rushing home. Be in New Haven next week Regards to all''
 More inter resting than the news that MT. Whitney is homeward bound, is the announcement of the success of his expedition, the main object of which was to secure living specimens of the animals of the Arctic and bring will be seen from the message that MT. Whitney has on board his ship live specim ems of the musk ox bear walrus and fox. All but the bear are to be found in even the largest zoo- logical gardens but rarely. Conse- quently MT. Whitney is achieving something of a feat in capturing and bringing them alive to this country. |, Whitney is accompanied on the New York sportsmen, and the Boethic is in command of Captain Bartlett Peary's commander. A1tho ough it was hoped to return this fall, full provis- ions were taken for a, winter stay in the Arctic in case they should have been caught in the ice. However they are to arrive home earlier than was expected thus indicating that the hunting trip to Etah and the farther more successful than had been antici- pated.

PARKER BACK
 AT ROOSEVELT
Explains Bakeshop Case Opinion Which He Wrote and Which
 Teddy Criticized

New York, Sept. 1.-Alton B. Parker, ex-Judge of the New York Court of Appeals and Presidential candidate against Theodore Roosevelt in 1904, who wrote the prevailing opinion of the Court of Appeals in the ''bakeshop case" mention of which was made by Colonel Roosevelt in his address to the criticism of the Supreme Court Of the United States, makes the followin g statement in defence Of the Supreme Court:
 \t'It is safe to assert that the attack upon the Supreme Court of the United States by MT. Roosevelt in his address to the Legislature 0f Colorado will not be approved by the bench and bar and the thoughtful people of this country, who appreciate the importance of the Judiciary in our governmental system the existing public confidence in, and affection for our courts.
 Tt happens that in the case of Peo- pie vs Lochner, referred to in the ad- dress as the fbakeShop case, the pre- vail1ng opinion of the Court of Appeals Of this State was written by myself, with concqrring opinions by Judges Gray and Vann. Judges O'Brien and Bartlett wrote dissenting opinions, so in all five opinions were written in the Court of Appeals, showing the appre- the question was a. very close one, about which minds must differ; indeed this fact was made very prominent in the interesting debates around the con- sultation table, as well as in the oDin- ions written.
 ''The history of this case indicates how narrow wasg the dividing line be- tween npholdingS and rejecting the statute. The trial judge held the stat ute constitutional; the appellate divis- ion affirmed his decision by 8 vote of three to two, and &he Court of Appeals affirmed the appellate division by a vote of four to three. The Supreme Court of the United States reversed the Court of Appeals by a vote of five to four.
 Every judge in every court gave to this important question his best eff fort, which is strongly evidenced by the differences of view of the members in the several courts. That fact should be quite sufficient to protect the great est court in the world from offensive criticism from any source, and espe- cially from one who heretofore mani fested his dissatisfaction with de- partment of government which was performing the independent functions conferred upon it by the constitution so as neither to encroach upon it's CO., ordinate departments of government nor to allow them to encroach upon if
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-09-01

Ex-President Roosevelt criticized severely in his Denver speech two de- cisions of the U. s. Supreme court. They were the Knight Sugar trust and the N. Y. bakeshop cases. In concluding his speech, he said:
 If such decisions as these two in dicated the courts permanent atti- cause to give alarm for such decf- sions, if consistently followed up, would upset the whole system of pop u1ar government.
 The speech was delivered hefore the Colorado Legislature, and the motive of the attack upon the court does not appear. unless his rampant comba- ttveness led him to take up that sub jeot. in default of any other fresh object of attack. Possibly, these de- cisions may be, as he said, "incon- sistent'' and "in fragrant and direct contradiction to the spirit and needs of the ttTnes.'' If so, it would not be the first instance of inconsistency on the part of the court. In sub stance, the court has, in previous cases. held the ''black list" to be legal. and the "boycott'' illegal, although the former is most certainly boycott.
 The Farmer is not of those who view the courts as infalltble. If they did not sometimes err, why do they occasionally reverse their decisions? :? Reversal. is an admission of previous error. MT. Roosevelt believes that the two decisions in question will eventually be reversed, possibly hay ing in mind the fact that the member ship of the court will be materially changed in the near future, and be- neving that the new members will be more in sympathy with ''the spirit and needs of the times.''
