What Is a Heryings
It's Up to the Courts
to Settle Question,

What il q herring? Secretary of the
Treasury MacVeagh. who returned to
his Office yesterday after an absence Of
several weeks. decided that it is not-at
least, that 1t is not any one of number
Of fancy fishes populariy classed as her
ring-the importers OF which would like
to have the customs of1cials believe that
they are herring. So the question, which
has caused almost ~ much wrangiins
as the much mooted questions: what
is whiskey?" and What II beer?" which
were up few years ago. doubtless will
remain to be finally settled by the courts.
Under. paragraph "a Of the tariff act,
any fish that can properly Identify itself
as herring must be admitted with q
duty Of one cent . pound. II fresh, and
at one-half . cent . pound II picked,
salted OF smoked. This applies to all
importations. whether in bulk. In pack
ges Of less than one-half barrel or in
tins. For several months onlcials Of the
Treasury Department have been wrest-
ling with the problem Of what to do with
several brands of Ash that have been
masquerading as herring and thus gain
entry at he low rate. Assistant Secrs-
taryS Curtis decided against these mas
Queraders and Secretary Aacveagh ap-
proved his action yesterday and served
notice on the customs authorities and
importers accordingly.

The Carnegie Awards.

The Carnegie Hero Fund Commis.
sion has bestowed sixty medals, with
cash awards accompanying them, fol
deeds of exemplary valor. The board
as well as the donor, recognize the fac
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 ever
in straitened circumstances.
: As 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
As rule, such deeds of bravery arc
not done by 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
men when unhesitatingly making the
sacrifice.
1t is this very abnegation that makes
them worthy of such rewards. Incl
dentai1y, six of the recipients, or 10
per cent, were citizens of Pennsyl-

pany.

New York, Nov. 7.-Accident insurance
In the sum of $3.50 . week has been
paid to Col. Roosevelt since the attack
upon him in Milwaukee. Wis. by the
New York crank. It would have been
SIS q week but for the good luck OF the
company in cutting down the size o, the
policy from $25.0o0 to $500 a short tim.
before the colonel reached the Socialist
center.
Ten accident insurance companies
originally shared the Roosevelt 81, 900
policy. issued in June 1910. shortly after
Col. Roosevelt returned from Africa
The former President was at that TINT
comparatively quiet politically. The
policy Is said to have been made payable
tc the Outlook Company, which concern
had first lien upon the Roosevelt serv-
ices.
Then came 1913 and the rigors Of the
campaign Just closed. For several years
the accident insurance companies have
made q practice OF refusing to insure
active public men. particularly the more
prominent ones, fear Of their assassina-
ton being the compelling reason. Nine
of the companies dropped out Of the
Roosevelt risk. leaving the company in
Missouri concern.

Problem Of the Next 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" 1t is quite 4 serious
problem whether the House viii be
held in check by probably Demo-
cratic Senate and Democratic Presi-
dent, or if it will be . peaceful unit,
even without srch constitutional checks
There will be, most likely, = Demo-
cratic majority in the House of two
thirds; 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
warning Clark, Underwood, Bryan, and
Wilson factions, it is not quite so SIM
pie 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 oonserva-
tives and insurgents (or Progressively.
There are two matters that cannot help
but bring about sharp division: the
tariff (for not all Democrats are free
traders) 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 of the most able Democrats fought
the leaders, despite party principles,
and upheld the Republican administra-
ton.
Mr.. Wilson will have to handle the
same and many similar questions.

JACK JOHNSON
GIVES Big BOND
Negro Pugilist's Mother Pledges
House. for $30,0 to Secure
Sons Release.

Chicago. Nov. 7.-Jack johnson. the
negro prize fighter. heavyweight cham
pion Of the world, was indicted to-day
by the Federal grand jury on a charge
Of white slavery" In violation Of the
Mann act.
The Indictment. containing four counts.
accused johnson of having caused the
transportation of Belle Schneider, q white
woman. known as Mrs. Jack johnson"
from Pittsburg to Chicago on August
10, 1910.
Arrested this evening too late to give
bail in court, johnson had been hand
cufYed 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. 334 Wabash
Avenue, as security for her sons 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 n.
Lands for the acceptance Of the bail
and later johnson was taken to the
jurist's home, where his bond in the
sum Of $4,000 was signed.
The action Of District Attorney wilker-
son in basing the Indictment on John
sons 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
10 resistance. however, when his captors.
numbering seven armed men, appeared.
1t was 7:30 o'clock when they reached
the Federal Building with their prisoner.
johnson. richly tailored and wearing his
'prize-ring grim" maintained his jaunty
air until the handouts were attached, a
few minutes before Mrs. johnson made
the offer Of bail 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-
Eeve 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.
