It is so obvious that it ought not to be stated that nothing can be good for the country, which is no good for all til, country. Nothing can be for the interest of the country, which is not the interest of everybody; therefore, the day of accommodation and concession and of common un- de standing is the day of peace and achievement of necessity. We have come to sshe beginning of the day.
 Men aie no longer resisting the conclusion which the nation has ar rived at as to the necessity of re- adjustments of it's business. Busi- ness men of all sorts are showing their willingness to come into this arrangement which I venture to char acterize Us the constitution of peace. So that by common and by the ac- cumulatihg force of cooperation we are going to seek more and more to serve the country.
 "I have been surprised at the sud- den acceptance of this measure by public opinion everywhere. I say surprised because it seems as if it had suddenly become obvious to men who have looked at it with too cri- tical an eye that it was really meant in their interest. They have opened their eyes 10 see thing which had supposed :c be hostile, to be friendly and serviceable-exactly what we in- tended it to be and what we shall in tend all our legislation to be. :"
 Following his speech the President held an impromptu reception in which he congratulated legislators, and was in turn congratulated by them on the happy conclusion of the legislation.
 A few minutes later, after final word with Senator James and Secre- tary McAdoo, the President went to his private apartments for dinner and to prepare for the trip to Pass Chris tian, which began at 10 o'clock to- night. Before leaving the White House, Secreatry McAdoo said that the organ ization committee provided for by the law would soon convene and a state ment might be issued within few days bearing upon the work it will take up.

Uses Four Pens For Signature-Presi. dent Plainly Shows Pride in Work
 Done By Congress-.

Washington, Dec. 23.-After sign ing the Currency Bill tonight Presi- dent Wilson made the following statement.
 "I need not tell you that I feel a very 6eep qualification at being able to sign this bill, and I feel that I ought 0 express very heartily the admiration I have for the men who have made it possible for me to sign and counter currents but the steam has moved forward. I think that we owe special admiration to the patience, and the leadership and the skill and the force of the chairmen of the two committees and behind them have stood the committees themselves exercising a degree or scrutiny and of careful thought in this matter, which undoubtedly has rebounded to the benefit of the bill itself. Then there has growH as we have advanced with this business and tse sIeat piece of business which preceded it, evidences of team work that to my mind have been very notable indeed. Only constructive work, only the action which accom- blishes t',s men with the enthusi asm of cooperation and think that at this ,ssioa of Congress we have witnessed sn accommodating pleasure and enthusiasm on the part of the membership of both houses in seeing substantial and lasting things accom- plished.
 "It is a matter of real qualification
 ne that In the case of this bill there should have been SO consider able number of Republican votes cast for it. Great measure under our own system of government or of necessity party measures for the party of the majority is responsible for their organization and their passage, but this cannot be called a party measure. It has been reliev- ed of all intimation of that sought by the .s1dial cooperation of mes on the other side of the two houses who have acted with us and have given very substantial reason and very intelligent reasons for acting with us, SO that I think we can go home with the feeling that we are in better spirits for public service than when we convened i2 April.
 will Serve Country.
 "As for the bill itself I feel that we can say that it is the first of a series of constructive measures by which the Democratic party will show that it knows how to serve the country. We have slowly been com ing to tl.is time, which has now plainly arrived when there is com mon recognition of the things that It is desirable should be done in busi- ness and :he things undesirable should 10. be done. What we arc proceeding to do now. is to organize our peace, Is to make our prosperity not only stable but free to have un- impended movement.

DR.. GILL FOR
NEW INSPECTOR
Praeticing Veterinary SHr-
geon of This City Named to
Succeed DR.. Hess.
GETS SALARY OF $500
Will Not Devote His Whole
Time to Work--C0ndemnsd
Cow Was TubercuIar
GETS SALARY OF $500

DR.. w. M. Gill, a practicing vet
Urinary of this city, was appointed
food inspector last night at the
meeting of the Board of Health to
fill the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of DR.. w. H. Hess last month.
His salary will be 5000 a year. Hess
was appointed at salary of $1,000
a year, but DR.. Gill will not devote
his entire time to the work of the
board.
Commissioners at the meeting stat
ed that they were fortunate in Sc
curing such an efficient man for the
work. DR.. Gill has but recently
moved to this city from New York
He has been connected with the
New York Board of Health and Bu-
reau of Animal Industry for the last
twelve years and is interested in
sanitation work. His duties in New
York dealt largely with the slaugh-
ter houses and butcher shops and
the commissioners believe that his
knowledge will prove invaluable in
coping with the conditions in this
city. Dr. Gill is also a graduate OF
the New York Veterinary College.
Willsey as an official at $1,000 a
year was received and accepted, and
he was reappointed to the same po-
sition with an increase to $500 a
year.
Nineteen property owners were
summoned before the board to ex-
plain alleged nuisances existing on
their premises. The majority were
given until April l to make correc-
hcns. Twenty-Five attachments were
reported since the last meeting.
An echo of the recent controversy
between the board and A. Wertheim,
proprietor of the slaughter house in
New Brunswick avenue, came back
in the form of a statement from the
Ferguson laboratories in New York,
which read that the portion of the
COW taken there by Food Inspector
Hess was tubercular. No further
action will be taken in the matter.
Following communication from
the Board OF Trade, asking that
better sanitary conditions be brought
about at the public market, Health
officer Willsey was instructed to
make a rigid Investigation. All the
members were present except Com
missioner Zylka.

DECLARATION
AS TO MEXICO
President Wilson viii Issue
State Document as to What
Nations Can Expect
FRENCH COLOkY'S TERROR
special BY United Press Wirs.


Washington, Oct. 29:- President
Wilson today worked on what prom
ises to be the most important state
document issued by this government
in the last decade. 1t is to be an
open declaration to the nations of
the world of what they can expect
from US in Mexico. With all OF the
papers prepared by the state depart
ment including the general summary
of Secretary Bryan and the legal
summary Of Counsellor Moore, the
President was making up his mind
how to end the Mexican trouble. The
chief point of danger in Mexico to-
day was not Vera Cruz or Mexico
City, but a place forty miles inland
from Mazatlam on the west coast of
Mexico. There a colony of French
citizens are believed to be in serious
danger of assault by revolutionists
1t is to this point that the French
government has asked the United
States to send battleships. The
cruiser Maryland carrying marines is
now at that port ready to furnish
refuge to the French If they can
reach that port. Marines, however,
will not be landed at least for the
present.

Harry Duban, and Family.
Had Narrow Escape When
Fire Sweeps Tenement
HEAVY LOSS REPORTED
Police and FIrsmen Regard
the Fire as Suspicious and
Investigations viii Follow

Harry Duban, his wife and five
children escaped through flames from
the third story of the frame tene-
ment house at Division and Broad
streets when fire gutted four rooms
of the apartment of an italian family
on the same floor about O'Clock
this morning. If they had been
awakened five minutes later the
stairs leading to the second floor.
forming the only avenue of escape,
would have been enveloped in flames.
The fire is regarded as suspicious
both by the police and the fire de-
partment, Michael Fitzpatrick, of
the Mcclellan Engine Company, saw
the flames leaping from the windows
OF the building as he was going
home and hastily gave the alarm
from box 81, at Washington street
and Park avenue.
Fitzpatrick then hastened back To
the burning house and found the oc-
cupants quietly sleeping unaware OF
the flames. More than fifteen fami-
lies were asleep in the huge tene-
ment house, from the third story of
which by this time flames had begun
to leap several feet from the struc-
ture. Fitzpatrick broke in the front
door of the most northern division
of the house in Division street, and
awakened Mr.. Duban and family,
which was the only family on the
third floor in this part of the house.
BY this time the smoke of the fire
and noise had awakened the other
sleepers, and thirty or more occu-
pants rushed out to the street with
but few clothes gathered around
them. The whole northern end of
the big tenement house began to fill
with smoke, and the tenants, gather
ing UP what personal property they
considered valuable, sought safety
with neighbors. Within ten minutes
the whole house was emptied.
The Lincoln Engine Company ar
rived on the scene first, but because
of a wrench being jostled out of the
rear box of the hose wagon in the
wagons rapid run to the scene, a
plug could not be opened until the
Mcclellan Engine Company arrived
a minute or SO later The firemen
accomplished feat which deserves
them credit. The flames were con-

they originated, though they had to
be fought from the roof of the third
story from ladders. 1t seemed that
the whole building would be demol-
lshed. The fire, however, was COM
pletely extinguished SO quickly that
it was prevented from bursting out
of either the wall or the roof.
Fire Chief William P. O'Hara stat
ed this morning that the door leading
to the room of the apartment in
which was the fire was locked when
the firemen tried to enter and the
tenants in the rooms claimed to have
left the house the night before.
Morris Siegel, who owns the build
ing, will probably make an investi-
cation to ascertain the origin of the
fire. The Italian could not be locat-
ed this morning by a reporter and
refused to discuss the fire with
others who saw him.
The damage done to the building
is estimated at $1,000, and $500 to
the furniture

IN SPEECH AT NEWARK
Special to the EVENxNo NEWS.

Newark, Oct. 29:-Former Acting
Governor Fielder did not mince
words last night when he entered
Essex county and in an address de-
livered in Newark, the stronghold OF
the Smith-Nugent machine, bid def
ance to all that Smith and Nugent
could do to him. He spoke as plain
ly as did President Wilson when the
latter was candidate for governor
about bossism In politics and an
nounced that he will consider him
self leader of his party if elected
governor. The statement was taken
to be aimed directly at Smith and
Nugent and delivered as it was, in
Newark and with Nugent in the au-
dience, 1t Is considered one OF the
most significant features Of the
campaign.
"I have said on several occasions
and now repeat it,'' declared the
candidate, that If / am elected gov
ernor OF this State, | shall under
stand that the people desire me to be
their leader, the one to whom they
shall look to represent their interest
at all times. Let there be no misun-
derstanding on that point.
"The Office of the governor of New
Jersey Is an exalted one, but l do
not want 1t nor would not accept it
upon any understanding, expressed
or implied, that any boss, leader or
coterte of men, no matter who they
may be, could influence me to any
