CARNEGIE HERO
 AWARDS MADE

Pittsburg, January 1S.-Twenty-si awards in recognition of acts of heroism were made today by the Carnegie hero fund commission 16 bronze and 10 silver medals, besides cash awards being au- thorized. Nineteen of the awards were made for rescues or attempted rescues from drowning, three from fire, two from suffocation in wells and one each from train and shooting.
 In nine instances the heroes lost their lives, and the award is made to mem- Der of the family.
 One of the recipients of silver medal is New York's street cleaning commis- sioner William H. Edwards, who figured in the incidents in connection with the shooting of Mayor William J. Gaynor on the deck of the Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse at Hoboken, N. J., on August 9 last The report of the commissions in vestigation says that he saved indeter- minate persons from being shot at the hands of an assassin, that Mayor Gaynor, having been shot in the head at close range, Edwards threw himself on the man with the upraised pistol and bore him to the deck on his back. As Edwards fell on top of him the pistol was dis charged again, and the bullet grazed Ed- wards forearm on the underside. Others hurried to pinion the mans arms, but be- fore they accomplished 1t the pistol was discharged third time. Edwards then arrested the assaiant."
 Among the 25 other awards was one to James V. Logan. aged 30, who saved from drowning D. Ward Denton. aged Is, at Burnside, Ky, July 29, 1909. He vas given a bronze medal and 5000 to educate his children as needed.
 This was the annual meeting of the hero fund commission. and all the of ficers were reelected. Several changes were made in previous awards to meet changed conditions of the recipients.

 'The glory of the Jews" he said, Ifs that from the dawn of history they have revealed and manifested to the world the genius and essence of true religion, based on the worship of the one God and on that inner spiritual life upon which depends the reality of the eternal and the hope and uplift of humanity.
 Mayor Gaynor said:
 Israel always has been growing and advancing religious force. The his tory of the Jewish race,' he continued, .'discloses no period in which mere non- essential regulations and forms were not being gradually cha nged CT abandoned in order to keep pace with the teachings of experience to conform to the just local or national usages.'
 One of the features of the day was the severe criticism of federal immigration laws and their enforcement by Max J.. Kohler, and the reply of Charles Ma gel, secretary of the department of com merce and labor.
 Speaking of exceptional cases of the unfortunates and the stretching of the letter of the law to help these unfor- tunates. Secretary Nagel added:
 You may call me law breaker. but I wish to remind you that these ex- captions are acts of common justice, of mercy and humanity to save the separ- aration of the members of a family
 ''I am absolutely opposed to the H. literate test as a question of fitness for admission of the immigrant. Take a good, healthy uneducated workman; the fact that he does not know how to read and write makes him all the more de. sirable, as he will the quicker assimlate among ideals and customs and the lan- guage of his adopted country.

 At the banquet tonight the delegates and their guests listened to addresses by Theodore Roosevelt, Mayor Gaynor, Os- car Straus. Dr. David Philipson of Gin cinnati and Jacob M. Schiff, who also acted as toastmaster.
 Governor Dix sent telegram of greet ing s s l- ...sae.
 Colonel Roosevelt, as the guest of hon or, was praised by the toastmaster as "one who more than any other American living or dead had taught the world the lesson that equally with any other citizen of this country the Jew is en- titled to the square deal-more than that he not only preached theories. he turned them into actualities and called one of our co-relgionsts into the cabinet of the President of the United States, the highest office within his gift. We Jews owe him a debt of gratitude which hope never will be forgotten"
 In introducing Dr. Philipson of the Hebrew college Mir Schiff spoke of the trend of the modern Jewish belief.
 With all the respect-aye, love-" he said. 'I have for the old forms as our fathers practiced them Judaism In Amer ican surroundings would soon cease to be living force without these mission aries, as I have styled them-equipped at and sent out from the American Fe- brew college.'

O'NEAL MAY DRAW
 SALARY AFTER ALL
Bill Becomes Law Without His
 Signature
GOES TO SUPREME COURT
New Governor Will Not Sign Measure Increasing salary-upique Law Point Is Rpised By
 Question
BY HUGH ". ROBERTS

Montgomery, January 1S.-(Special.) , The bill increasing the salary of the governor will not be signed by the present chief executive.
 But within five days following the date of It's passage 1t will become law
 The question has arisen, Will not Governor ONeal benefit from the sal ary bill in spite of the refusal of Gov ernor Conner to indorse 1t with his sig nature?"
 The supreme court will settle the question.
 There Is great variance of opinion at the present time. The point, up to the present hour, has never been pos itively determined.
 There are many prominent men about the capitol today who believe that after all Governor O'Neal will draw $7500 per annum for his services to the state.
 O'Neal Finds Bill
 NO. sir; I will not sign the bill increasing the salary, of the governor You have charged me with extrava- gance. Would you encourage me to con- tinue my 'extravagant' course? And would you have me, furthermore. to violate not oily the spirit but the actual provisions of the constitution as well? I will not sign the bill. Tues day morning Governor O'Neal will find the document on his desk. He can then sign it for the benefit of his sue cessors." ses
 This was the statement of Governor Conner to The Age-Herald Saturday The prediction that Governor ONeal would find the bill Tuesday morning on his desk materialized. There it was neatly tied by the delft fingers of a clerk, bearing the indorsing signature of Senator Morrow and Speaker Almon.
 When asked this morning if he had signed the bill, Governor O'Neal said: NO, I have not signed 1t. will not do so. It will become law on the fifth day following the date offits passage. My signature is not necessary.vl t.
 And then it was learned that there is still a chance for the present gov ernor to reap the benefit of a bill which was passed by both houses be- fore the beginning of his term of of flee.
 The Point Raised
 
 The bill in question passed both houses of the legislative Saturday. was signed by the presiding officers of both houses and sent to the office of the governor Governor Conner refused so sign the bill.
 A bill, however. which has not been vetoed by the governor will become a law within five. days after its passage even if it does not receive the sigma ture of the governor. F
 The technical point raised is: ''Is it not true that bill becomes law im- mediately on the date of It's passage? Is not the granting of five days of grace simply a matter of form or cere- mony?"
 One of the justices of the supreme court was questioned this morning. Tt is a neat point" stated he. land one which tn ough it has arisen previously, has never been definitely. settled.
 The supreme court Will settle the question. If the answer of the supreme court to the questions above Is in the affirmative Governor O'Neal will profit from the salary bill.

Nashville, Tenn, January D.-(Speclal) Great excitement prevailed today as the result of a sudden and entirely new sit uation confronting the Tennessee legis- lature in the matter of electing United States senator. President Senator Fra zier's name was withdrawn from the con test, while the republicans diverted their hitherto practically solid vote from a member of that party to B. A. Enloe, in- dependent democrat making the race be- tween the latter and Benton McMlllin, the regular democratic entry from the start. most interesting and close. The second ballot found McMillin but one vote ahead of Enloe, with GA votes, mere trio of outstanding republicans voting for Fowler and thereby blocking an election, with the balance of power safely in their possession If the present main align ment holds, whichever side gets the three republican votes tomorrow will win the con u. The vctcs today were as fol- lows
 Seventh ballot: McMilln. regular dem ocrat, GA; B. A. Enoe, independent dem ocrat. s2; James A. Fowler. republican, 4.
 
 Fowler, 3.
 The choice of Colonel Enloe to lead the fusion fight was made after two confer ences, one by the independents and one by the republicans, and 1t was the latter that delayed the settlement
 The independents agreed to give solid support to Senator Frazier for one ballot, affording him an opportunity to win This was done, and he could not win because the republicans would not support him. When on the second ballot all but one of the Hamilton county delegation left him. it was realized that he had reached his highest vote The end of the ballotlng leaves the regulars and the fusionists both claiming that they will win tomor- row when the balloting is resumed. Many observers think that McMillin is the only man among the regulars who can win. Gen. Luke E. Wright's course about en- tering has not been determined on so Tar as known, but 1t Is thought by many that he will supplant McMillin unless the latter is put over tomorrow
 The senate and house met in joint ses- sion at 10 o'clock to canvass the official vote for governor in the election of No- vember S. The returns from each county were compared with the records made 'n the office of the secretary Of state and the latter were found to be correct.
 The total vote for governor reported by the tellers follows: Hooper. 133,976; Tay- Tor, 121, ,694; McCallen, HOT.
 President Baxter announced that sat- isfactory agreement had been reached as to the date for the inauguration and that Governor-elect Hooper would be sworn in January 25.

Callers At the White House

Washington, January 1S.-Wiliam Loeb Jr.. collector of customs at New York; Lloyd c. Griscom, and Ezra P. Prentice, New York, republican leaders. were at the White House today. They denied. how ever, that they had called to take up with the President the question of choos- ing a successor to Mr Prentice, who has resigned as state chairman. It was em- phaticaily stated at the White House that the President would be satisfied with any chairman the New York leaders might choose.
 right to '.barter' advertising space for railroad passes.
 To the first bill there is considerable opposition, and although the laws may be amended. it is generally thought prob able that the bill as a whole will be de- feated. On the matter of increasing tAe salary of the supernumerary judge there is more unaniinity of opinion It is point ed out that the judge has great deal of work to accomplish throughout the state and it has been general topic of dis cussion that at the present time he Is not properly remunerated. To the third bill, that permitting newspapers and railroads to exchange their wares, there Is no or ganized opposition. although 1t is believed that many votes will be registered against 1t in case a fight Is precipitated Com- paratlvely little interest in this proposi- tion has been demonstrated as yet.
