' ProWem of 'the JText House.
Exact facts as to the membership of
.the national House in the Sixty-third
Congress .are not yet Altogether ascer-
tainable, yet, there seems a question
-whether 'its Democratic" 'majority will
hold together." , It is, quite, a serious
problem whether the House will Jbe
held .in' check by a, probably Demo
cratic Senate and a Democratic Presi
dent, or if-it will be a peaceful unit,
'even without seen constitutional, checks!
"There will be, most 'likely, a Demo
cratic majority, in the House of two-
thirds; a Republican minority, a group
composed of Progressives, Bull Moos
ers, and old-time insurgents, and, last
ly, a Socialist or two. In. the light of
former experience, in the light of the
warring Clark, Underwood, Bryan, and
)Vilson factions, it is not quite so sim
ple a thing to predict nor to expect
, harmony and unity. Urged on by the
one supreme desire to elect a Demo
cratic President, these factions during
the last session of Congress were held
down by main force, but the disrupting
force exists, nevertheless.
President-elect Wilson sooner or
later is fated to 'face the thing Mr.
Taft had to face a split into conserva
tives and insurgents (or Progressives).
There are two matters that cannot help
but' bring about a sharp division: the
tariff (for not'all Democrats are free
'trailers) and the issue of Federalism
or Nationalism- versus State rights.
We remind our readers of what' hap
pened last summer when the Demo
cratic House fought the Republican ad
ministration on the bill to dam navi
gable streams (which President Taft
threatened to veto unless the Federal
government were permitted to charge
rent and control rates under certain
conditions). A strong minority made
up':pf the most able Democrats, fought
the,- leaders, despite party principles,
and upheld the Republican administra
tion. Mr. Wilson will have to handle the
same and many similar questions.
The Carnegie Awards.
The Carnegie Hero Fund Commis
sion has bestowed sixty medals, with
cash awards accompanying them, for
deeds of exemplary valor: The board,
as well as the donor, recognize the fact
that the badge of honor in itself will
neither feed nor clothe those in want,
and that some who deserve recognition
through 'merit are' in humble, and even
in straitened circumstances.
V As a consequence, it was a -wise and
philanthropic course to let cash accom
pany the medals of honor in order
that, homes .may be purchased, debts
- paid, mortgages lifted, so that, the hero
(or dependent survivors) may be prac
tically rewarded.
As a rule, such 'deeds of bravery are
- not donejby men or women who" look
for tangible remuneration. The medals
are bestowed upon those who willingly
risk their lives. Generally such cour
age is unconscious of everything but
, the deeds, to be done and those who ac-
' complish them seek not the praise of

them worthy of. uch rewards. Inci

It is one of the .anomalies of-our po

voters, may obtain only a few electors.
The aggteijate of. local voting more

unsuccessful before the ('people by a
minority in the electoral college that
might mislead any one' not familiar
with the peculiarity of .this institution.
Mr. Taft found .himself in just this
position. Neither the respect, nor the
vote or affection'. of many thousands of
voters who supported him, was suffl
aent to give him a representation in
the electoral college proportionate to
their desire. We are perfectly satis
fied, after sjtudying detailed reports
available, that Taft sentiment was
much wider and more powerful, thap
the returns indicate.
We believe that we -oice the senti
ment of a great many readers of The
Herald when we say that Mr. Taft has
deserved well of the country, and that,
when he leaves the White House, will
carry with him the good wishes of all
but prejudiced partisans. Mr. Taft
may not have commanded success, but
he certainly deserved it
New York's Shipping Supremacy.
The menace that has been hanging
over New. York .City as a port for the
big trans-Atlantic liners has been
lifted. The Hamburg-American, the
North German Lloyd, and the Holland
lines will be permitted to extend their
piers so as, to accommodate the giant
new steamships now under construc
tion. Ever since the trans-Atlantic
companies applied two years or more
ago for permission to build their piers
further into the North River, and the
opposition of -the Federal government
became apparent, there has been talk
of shifting the port 'for these big liners
from New York to some other harbor.
The possibility most widely discussed
has been the creation of a port at
Montauk Point, on the extreme east
ern end of Long Island. Another sug
gestion was the building of a system
of great piers ' on the Jersey shore,
where the big steamships would not
interfere with the traffic of the North
River.
While all this talk has been indefi
nite, it has been regarded with grave
concern by the many interested in
New York City's commercial develop
ment, and the decision of the army
engineers will bring definite relief. The
board's report has been filed with the
War Department Secretary of War

to make temporary extensions suffi

question, are all at Hoboken. .Permis
sion was granted the White Star Line
two years ago for a'temporary exten

made the extension with the. 'under
standing that it was subject, at any
time,' to an order from the Federal
government directing its removal.
The piers it is desired to extend are
at the very narrowest part of the chan
nel, .where the encroachments on' the
free waterway 'are most serious. The
War' Department's maps show that

tablished, the -water front has encroach

What Is a Herring?
It's Up to the Courts
to Settle Question
What Is a herring? Secretary of the
Treasury MacVeagh, who returned to
his office yesterday after an absence of
several ireeks, decided that It Is not at
least that It is not any one of a number
of fancy fishes popularly classed as her
ringthe importers ot -which would like
to have the customs 'officials believe that
they are herring. So the question, which
has caused almost aa much wrangling
aa the much mooted questions: "What
la whiskey r and "What 'It beerT" which
were up a few years ago, doubtless will
remain to be finally settled by the courts.
Under; paragraph 27 of the tariff act
any fish that can properly identify itself
as herring must be admitted with a
duty of one cent a, pound, if fresh, and
at one-half a cent a pound If pickled.

Importations whether. In, bulk. In pack-
uges of less than one-hajf barrel or In
tins. For several months' officials of tho
Treasury Department have been wrest

several brands of fish that have been
masquerading' as herring and thus gain
entry at helow rate. Assistant Secre-

RBD GROSS MAKES
APPEAL FOR FUNDS
Doennent Signed by President Taft
Asks for Money for Bal
kan War.
Announcement of the receipt of an ap
peal of the American Red Cross, signed
by President Tart as the head of that
body, and others connected with the or
ganization for contributions to aid in re
lieving suffering In the Balkans caused
by the war was made to the people ot
the District by the Commissioners yes
terday.
In their announcement the Commission
ers expressed confidence "that the citi
zens of the National Capital will respond
with liberality and with that promptness
which so greatly enhances the value of
such contributions." The appeal is
follows:
"It Is. difficult to bring home to the
public In this country the appalling suf
fering Involved in a winter war in me
Balkans. Communication Is difficult the
cold Is Intense, and even rudimentary
transportation is a matter of extreme
difficulty. Moreover, tbe fighting In this
particular war Is likely to be of an espe
cially bitter and severe character, while
on the other hand the medical organiza
tion available Is quite Inadequate to cope
with the large numbers of wounded.
"Reports have been received both from
our diplomatic representatives In Turkey,
the Balkan States and Greece, and from
the Bed Cross Societies of tha desperate
conditions ot the thousands of sick and
wounded and the Inadequate medical ser
vice. With these reports have come urg
ent appeals to the American Red Cross
for aid. t
"The British Red Cross and those of
Continental Europe are sending out
medical detachments of doctors and
nurses and hospital supplies In order to
mitigate in some measure the terrible
suffering entailed by such a winter cam
paign. "Because of tbe distance, the American
Red Cross will not send expeditions, of
trained personnel, but It" earnestly ap.
peals to the generosity of our people to
aid the sick and wounded soldiers of all
the countries Involved.
"Though. an armistice may be declared,
the sreat number of sick and wounded
must be cared for during a number ot
weeks and -the troops must remain under
arms In the Held for months during tne
severe winter weather, with all the suf
fering and sickness this "will entail.
'The services of the American Red
Cross will be rendered Impartially to all
the combatants concerned, but it Is. of
course, open- to any subscriber to desig
nate a donation' for the special assist
ance of .one or the other of the bellger

FOR GETTING SHOT
Draws $12.50 Per Week from Acci
dent Insurance Com
pany.
New York, Nov. 7. Accident Insurance
In tbe sum of S13.C0 a week has been
paid to CoL Roosevelt since the attack
upon him in Milwaukee. Wis., by the
New York crank. It would have been
US a week but for the good luck of the
company In cutting down the size o the
policy from $3,000 to JtSOO a short time
before the colonel reached the Socialist
center.
Ten accident Insurance companies
originally shared the Roosevelt 5.000
policy. Issued In June 1310. shortly after
joi. Roosevelt returned from Africa.
The former President was at that time
comparatively quiet politically. The
policy Is said to have been made payable
to the Outlook Company, which concern
had first Hen upon the Roosevelt serv

616 BOND

House, for $30,000 to Secure
Son's Belease.
Chicago, Nov. 7. Jack Johnson, the
negro prize fighter, heavy-weight cham
pion of the world, was indicted to-day
by the Federal grand jury on a charge

accused Johnson ot having caused the
trasportatlon of Belle Schreiber. a white
woman, known as "Mrs. Jack Johnson."
from Pittsburg to Chicago on August
10, 1910.

ball In court, Johnson had been hand
cuffed and was about to be taken to the
county jail for the night when his moth
er. Mrs. Tiny Johnson. Interceded by
telephone, offering the house, J31 Wabash
Avenue, as security ror ner son s re
lease. This Is the house Johnson bought
for his mother shortly after his victory
over Tommy Burns In -Australia the fight
that brought him the worlds pugilist
title.
District Attorney Wilkerson arranged
by telephone with Judge Kenesaw M.
Landls for the acceptance of tho ball
and later Johnson was taken to the
jurist's home, where his bond in tho
sum of 130.000 was signed.
The action of District Attorney Wilker
son In basing the Indictment on John
son's relations with the Schreiber woman
came as a surprise. Although she had
testified before the grand jury, the fact
had been carefully kept secret and her
name had not been previously mentioned
In connection with the case.
Johnson was arrested at the vendome
Hotel. Twenty-fifth and State Streets,
where he had secluded himself under
guard of six brawny negroes. He made
no resistance, however, when his captors,
numbering seven armed men. appeared.
It was 7:9 oclock when they reached
the Federal Building with their prisoner.
Johnson, richly tailored and wearing his
"prize-ring grin," maintained his Jaunty
air until the handcuffs were attached, a
few minutes before Mrs. Johnson made
the offer of ball. Then tears swelled
from his eyes.
Johnson admitted that he had known
the Schrieber woman, but denied that he
brought her to Chicago from Pittsburg
or that he paid for her railroad ticket
"I'll get out of this, mess all right be
lieve me. It's no use to cry over spilled
milk, and no one ever got fat on worry,"
was Johnson's comment on the case.
