In riew of tha general unrest anions; voters, porenees over tba prevailing high tost of living, unpopularity of tha Payne-Aldrtch tariff law. and split tn tha Republican party, tha Herald inclines to tha opinion that tha Democrats stand, a splendid chanca of capturing tha next House, especially as tha bulk of doubtful districts are now Republican, and only SS Democratic dis tricts ara considered in any way doubt ful. At special and regular elections held since tha present House of Representa tives was organised, the Democrat have made tremendous gains. The successor to the lMa Representative DeArmond. of Missouri, who waa one of Missouri's greatest and moot popular Democrats, carried that district by an even greater majority than DeArmond had at hia last election.

T.e recent results in Mains and Ver mont ara too fresh In the public mind to seed recounting.

For Instance, there are M doubtful dlrtrld In Penn sylvania: 11 In New Tork. nine In Ohio and sis In losta. Should tha Democrats carry these districts alone and hold what they have, the' next House would be theirs. Going down tha list of state, alpha betically, tha Congressional situation is reviewed in great detail. Alabama, a rock-ribbed Republican state, has one doubtful district In which the Republi cans have nominated M. W.

' STOUT HEARTS HELP TO TEAM Overall, Who Will Pitch Today, Acts as if On Outing. JONES FAVORS CHICAGO Ex-Whit Sox Manager Declares Old Rivals' Will Win Championship If Pitchers Are as Good as In 1907 and J908. BY FI15I.DER JONTft. PHILADELPHIA, Oct 16. (Special.) In my experience as a ballplayer and manager, I never saw a ball team as unconcerned before entering a crucial series as are the Cubs on the eve of their first battle with the Athletics for the world's championship. This care-free spirit was the first thing that Impressed me when I board ed the special at Chicago last night. The Cubs said their good-byes to their friends Just as carelessly as if they had been starting out on a training trip. They did not appear to realise that they were going into the enemy's coun try to begin a battle for the highest honors in baseball. Baseball N'ot Discussed. Once aboard the special and among themselves, they talked of everything In the world but baseball. Only once or twice last night and today was there a word spoken about the coming series. Then it was talked over carefully, and no one engaged in the conversation ap peared to be worried at all about the outcome. Overall, who undoubtedly wlUpltch the game tomorrow, acted as if be were going on a hunting trip. There was not a word about baseball spoken by hlm. Hoffraan. Sheckard and Richie busied themselves with singing practice and none of the songs was about baseball. Indifference Is Shown. The rest of the men were just as In different, apparently. But I know and everyone else knows that the Cubs are anything but Indif ferent, down in their hearts. They want to win this series, and win it as quickly as possible. There is no doubt that they are confident. One can gather that from their actions, and this confi dence, the kind the Cubs have, is bound to help their play. Lota of times, while I was manager of the White Sox, I would have given a great deal to get this feeling Into my men. When ballplayers worry about approaching big games, they naturally lose sleep and the rest, and it has a bad effect on them, mentally, especial ly, but the Cubs don't lose any sleep. They are no more worried than they would be in mid-season. Just before a series with Boston or St. Louis. Cubs Not Kervous. They may ba tnlnklng a lot of base ball, but they are not talking- It. and are not nervous about it Unless the Athletics are Just as unconcerned, the Cubs will have an advantage over them regardless of the actual merits of the two teams. The only real "dope" I have heard on the big series was furnished me by Joe Tinker this afternoon. He Just re marked that he thought the Cub pitch ers should be able to hold the Athletics in check if the Sox pitchers could, and that the Cub batsmen ought to hit the Philadelphia pitchers as well as they can hit the White Sox pitchers. Aetna! Performance Connts. Walsh is the man Tinker had in mind In the latter part of his remarks, and his words set me to thinking. The Cubs hit Walsh In the city series last Fall hit him more effectively than the Ath letics usually do. This argues that the Cubs are better hitters then Mack's (PHOTO COPYRIGHT if 50,000 PARADE IN WAR ON PROFANITY CHURCH CHOIRS HEAD KE MARK A RLE PROCESSION, Ctaxious Thousands Who Watch Cav alcade in Pittsburg Show No Enthusiasm Over Jlove. PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct 16. (Special.) Fifty thousand persons headed by sing ing choirs instead of brass bands, par aded through the streets today in a re markable demonstration against profan ity and the growing use of Impure lang uage. The line of march was packed by curious thousands, but there was no en thusiasm displayed. The promoters of the parade had feared disorder in rougher districts, but no demonstrations were made against the marchers. Each division carried at its head an American flag and there was a studied effort to dispense with blare and gaudy trappings of ordinary parades. The church choirs at the head of each division sang hymns as they passed through the streets. Each marcher wore a small badge formed of an American flag, but no other color was displayed. At the close of the parade. Bishop Regis Canevin bestowed benediction and sacrament to the 60,000 persons in the open air, congregated about, St Paul's Cathedral. DISGUISE IS EFFECTIVE Chinese Smuggled Into Canada in Autos as Women "Joy Riders." . OTTAWA, Ont Oct. 16. (Special.) Ca nadian officials are looking for a large number of Chinese who have recently been smuggled Into Canada. At the Labor Convention? held at Fort William, Ont, the sensational statement was made that thousands of Chinese are an nually being smuggled Into this country. The traffic Is said to be most profitable and as high els $300 each Is being paid for successful entry into the Dominion. Since the automobile has come into almost general use It is authoritatively stated that the Celestials are dressed up as women and under the guise of "joy riders" are successfully shot across the international boundary at many points. After joining one of the tongs, the newly-arrived Chinaman is given proper clothing and given employment Immedi ately. He also has two years within which to pay back the coin for getting Into Canada by the back door entrance. This sum must be handed over to one of the tong leaders who work in conjunction with the Hang Wah .Society. KRAUT SCATTERS LOAFERS Barrel Explodes While Men Discuss Times Disaster. SACRAMENTO, Cal., Oct IS. (Spe cial.) Qukte a crowd of wharf em ployes, steamboat men and others were thrown Into a small panic at the city wharf yesterday afternoon, when a barrel of sauerkraut exploded during the midst of a discussion as to what caused the wrecking of the Los An geles Times building two weeks ago. The explosion under ordinary condi tions was enough to strike fear Into the hearts of brave men, yet to have it come at such a pyschologlcal moment caused terror to reign for several min utes. The sauerkraut had been ordered by a local grocer from a river point, and through an oversight had been allowed to stand in the sun for considerable time, until it fermented causing the ex plosion.

POLICE GUARD IS CALLED Detectives, Working on Los Angeles Horror, Thrown Off Tract by Latest Development in Unten anted House Theories Lost. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct 16. The dis covery tonight of 500 pounds of dyna mite hidden in an untenanted house near the bay In South San Francisco threw the detectives, working on tha Los Angeles Times explosion case, into new spasms of excitement and cast an inky darkness over clews hitherto con sidered brilliant of promise. The dynamite was contained tn ten boxes of 50 pounds each, addressed to J. B. Bryson. and Is supposed to be tha same lot purchased by three men from the Giant Powder Works, September 20. The theory that the much-hunted "Bryce" and "Perry," the "squint-eyed ' man," who purchased the giant powdes after much plottipg and took It away. In the launch Pastime, were the men responsible for the Times horror, ap parently Is riddled, but the discover opens new and highly Important leads and keeps these mysterious plotter ia the spotlight Owner Makes Discovery. James C O'Brien, owner of the fcousa at 1622 Nineteenth avenue. South Sam Francisco, where the dynamite waa found, was responsible for tha dlacovM ery. It appears that on September St. a man giving the name of William Catt. who answers. -descriptions of tha third mat who accompanied "Bryoo" and "Perry" to the Giant Powder Works, rented the Nineteenth Avenue bouse at a real estate firrn That night Mrs. John Fox, a neighbor, saw two men drive up the house in a one-horse light delivery wagon. Tha wagon contained a load covered by two large pieces of canvas. The wagon waa unloaded, the men drove off, and no one has been seen around tha bouse since that time. O'Brien today decided to go out to the house and see who hie. new tenants were. He found it empty and In tha parlor the boxes of dynamite. One Box Found Open. One box, was open, and as soon as O'Brien saw that it contained dynamite he notified the police. Upon examination the boxes were found to hold approximately, 80 sticks each of seven-eighths dynamite of 80 per cent gelatin. The order placed by Bryson at the Giant works called for this type of explosive. Captain Ryan, of the detective depart ment found that the dynamite was of the type which was placed near the residence of F. J. Zeehandelaar, secretary of tha Merchants and Manufacturers' Associa tion, In Los Angeles, the day after the Times explosion. The box that was open held dynamits manufactured by the Hercules Powder Company, which Is situated In Contra Costa County near the GIant works. Thla Hercules powder was of 40 per cent gela tin and opens up a new clew in the in vestigation. Detectives Are Worried. The presence of the 40 per cent Her cules powder to confusing to the detec tives. They state that if the "Bryson" order for 600 pounds of 80 per cent pow der was filled by the Giant company, then some of that powder is missing. Eight of the boxes are unopened. They weigh at least 60 pounds each, but they may contain more of tha Hercules powder. Th. rtisroverv threw the neighbor hood into a panic and a police guard was thrown around the house to keep ornwdq of curious persons.
