 Policemen nearby walked away without rendering the ambulance crew any assistance.
 Johnson, who lived in Room 23 of the bank building, was last seen Mon that time he was apparently in good health.
 This morning at o'clock when steam failed to come up in the build ing, George Zumstag, the janitor Of the building, went to investigate and found Johnson lying, dead, near the boilers.
 Zumstag immediately sent in call for the Emergency ambulance. and after the body of--the dead fireman was removed from the boiler room took it to the public morgue.
 Burns and O'Connell had a difficult time in removing the body from the boiler room through the coal hole, but said that action was uecessitated when bank officials protested against bringing of the body through the bank building as they evidently did mot like the notoriety which they feared would attach to the carrying of the dead employe through the building.

The Presidents message made no mention of the League of Nations, nor any international aspect in parti- cular. It was short, message and more than half of it was devoted to domestic affairs.
 At the last moment, President Will son yielded to the wishes of his phy- sician and did not attempt to go to the Capitol and deliver the message in person before a joint session of the two houses. Instead, a few min utes before the message was trans mitted to each house separately and there was read to the members.
 The first half of the presidential message was devoted to expressions of this faith and the urging upon Congress it's duty to make America indeed the triumphal force for right and justice.
 Then, turning to domestic affairs. the President recommended to Con gress the following:
 The passage of budget bill to stabilize the governments finances.
 Stricter economy in governme e1tal expenditures in order that the burden of taxation be lighted and the na- tional debt decreased.
 Revision and simplification of the taxation system which he declared has become "an immediate neces-
 Granting to the Philippines their independence, "as they have succeed ed in maintaining stable govern nent.''
 The President himself summed up his message in it's final paragraph:
 "I have not so much laid before you a series of recommendations" he said, 'tas I have sought to utter a. confession of faith. of the faith in which I was bred, and which it is my solemn purpose to stand by until my last fighting day. I believe this to be the faith of America, the faith of the future, and of all the victories which await national action in days to come, whether in America or else where"
 The text of President Wilson's mess age to Congress today, was as fol- lows:
 "Gentlemen of the Congress:
 When I addressed myself to per forming the duty laid upon the Presi- dent by the constitution to present to you an annual report of the state of the Union, found my thought dom. mated by an immortal sentence of Abraham LincolnS:
 ''Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us dare to do our duty as we under stand it.
 "A sentence immortal because it embodieS in a form of utter simplic- ity and purity the essential faith of the nation the faith in which it was and the faith in which it has grown to glory and power. With that faith and the birth of a nation founded upon it, came the hope into the world that a new order would prevail throughout the affairs of man right would take precedence of and force and T heIiaUa

Mayors Position Stronger After Clever Separation
 of Issues.

Mayor Wilson's clever evasion of the effort to consolidate the issues for the s2,7oo,o00 school bond pro- ject and the Broad street extension before the Board of Aldermen today strengthened the growing belief that opponents of the Broad street plan will know that they have been in a fight before the Mayor is counted out.
 Many spectators last night attended the meeting of the new Board of AL dermen and were all set for a show down between the school and the Broad street projects. But the clever est kind of management by the May or succeeded in keeping these issues apart, for the night at least. This action on the part of the city execu- tive was exclusively forecast in yes terday's Times
 In his message to the board, which presented an a1l-Republican. flavor for the first time in Bridgeport's his tory, the Mayor made his best argu- ment yet presented for the street ex- tension. and his confident manner throughout the evening gave foes of the scheme some concern.

 II tn nll of course that much of the depression that has been talked about has resulted from what people have been reading in the papers. Some months ago the papers began to say that prices would go down. that they had begun to go down and that they would go still further. What was the result? If a man needed a coat he would naturally wait until the prices came down. He would wait just as long as, he could And then another would wait and another and another until pretty soon there was no buying. The tailor and the retailer could not sell any coats.

Plan To Jam
 Law Stopping
 Immigration

Washington, Dec. 7-Acting under the belief that the country is de- manding a temporary cessation of the flood of immigration, Republican leaders in the House planned this morning to jam through the Johnson Bill, suspending all immigration for two years.
 Efforts to effect an organized fight against the legislation was made to- day by Representative Siegel, of New York, Republican, and Representative Sabath, Chicago, Democrat. Each represents a district with a large for eign population.
 The report calls attention to the great rush of European Jews into the country. Seige1 and Sabath claim that the proposed legislation is aimed at exclusion of the Jews. Pacific coast members are disappointed that the bill does not provide specifically for exclusion of Japanese immigra- ton. They will try to have a pro- vision to this effect inserted.

that I express the wish and purpose of every thoughtful American when I say that this sentence marks for us in the plainest manner the part we should play alike in the arrangement of our domestic affairs and in our ex- ercise of influence upon the affairs Of the world.
 By this faith, and by this faith alone, can the world be lifted out of it's present confusion and despair. It was this faith which prevailed over the wicked force of Germany. You will remember that the beginning of the end of the war came when the German people fourd themselves face to face with the conscience of the | everywhere arrayed against the wrong that their government was at tempting to perpetrate. I tsi,nk, therefore, that it is true to say that this was he faith which won the war. Certainly this is the faith with which our gallant men went into the field and out upon the seas to make sure of victory.
