(Prom a Staff Correspondent.) i
LINCOLN. Dec. 31. -(Special Telegram.) i
Chairman A. C. Epperson or tne so
called progressive stato committee of the
republican patty offers as a New Year's
Wesont to the people of Nebraska a
unltcil and harmonious republican party
In Nebraska, according to a statement
mado to ho newspapers at tho close of
a meeting of the executive commlttco of
the Kppcrson branch held at tho Llndelt
hotel- this afternoon.
The meeting -was behind closed doors,
nnd was attended by all members, ex
cept Bruco MeCulloch of South Omaha,
ins members present being A C. Epper
son, Clay Center: C. J. darlow, Colum
bus! R. Rising. Ainsworth; E. K. Bee,
Kalrbury; I. D- Evans, Kcnesaw and
H. M. Uushncll, Lincoln.
There was very llttlo done except to
talk over tho proposition of calling tlio
stnlc commltte together for the purposo
of calling a stato convention and dis
cussing the action of the national re
publican commlttco in Washington.
No action wns taken whether the work
of that committee was endorsed, Chair
man. Epperson being extermelv rctlclent
about alklng about the meeting.
The committee expects todecldo who1 are
eligible to sit In tho next convention nnd
will recognize as republican county com
mttteo"s only thoso regularly selected
during the last campaign.
Mr. Epperson said thnt some of these
committees had been for Mr. Taft, but
that cut no figure now as they were reg
ularly selected and were tho ones to be
recognized by him.
Tho last election settled all tho con
troversy as to Mr. Tnft and Mr. Roose
velt," Bald Mr. Epperson, "and thorn li
no call now to dig up anything which
might haVe occurred during that cam
paign. "There may be some radicals among
the Taft men who may not want to
lecog'nlzo us, but tako the rank and tllo
of Iho republican party. I believe that
they VaVe for tho progressive principles
of tho party and on those principles wo
will fight and win If we can.
Mr. Epperson said that ho had met
Mr. Currle, chairman of the Taft com
mittee, several times, but that no agree
ment had been mado as to what should
be done regarding tho calling of a con
vention nnd tho rumor that tho two com
mittees might Jointly call the convention
had not been discussed by them.
"Suppose tho Taft committee should
offer to meet your commltteo half way
In an effort to bring harmony?" was
asked by a reporter, "would you go your
half to meet them?"
"How could two parties going in the
same direction meet?" replied ,tho cHolr
man. "Was tho olive branch much In evi
dence, at your meeting today?" asked
another reporter.
"Why'datt't you newspaper follows, re
member that there is no ncted of an olive
branch In the republican party Ir, ?No
braska?" answered tho Judge, "for every
thing is harmonious. The election last
I'ear closed Jho'book."
"How about the bull.moosors In the
llilrd party?" ho was aa'kcd by. another.
"The republican party 'of Nebraska is
for advanced legislation, and that means
that there Is -no call for a third party
In this state," was the reply.
"it'lB probable that the" executive com
mittee will be called together either late
fn 'February or tlio first .of March and
Mr.' Epperson emphatically ..stated that
It would not bo called at the' same-time
us tho bull mooso executive committee
meeting.
' While the committee was in session F.,
F.'-'corrl'ck," Will S. Jay, J. W. Johnson
nnd one or two leaders of the third
party cause wero around tho hotel, but
If they cxrected to take part in the
meeting wero not Invited to do so.

Harman Works for
Legal Standard
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN. Deo. Sl.-i8peclal )-An ef
fort Is being made to hove Ice cream
manufacturers of Nebraska test the
t'lBl.t nf n Inn. It, X?..h,.al?a wtill.
I quires not less than H per cent butter
! fat In all tee cream manufactured In
this state.
The Iowa supreme court knocked out a
less stringent law In two cases brought
against Ico cream manufacturers who had
placed on tho market Ice creRm below
tho lequlrements. The national law re
quires that there shall bo not less than
12 per cent butter rat as the Iwoa law
provides.
Food Commissioner Mnrman Is Inclined
to believe that the Nebraska Ice cream
manufacturers are pretty well satisfied
with the law. with the possible exception
of one firm which manufacturers Its
product In Council Bluffs and dlstrlbuts
it In Nebraska.
Roy Corless, a representative of that
company called on Commissioner Harman
yesterday In an effort to have him take
tho action of the Iowa court as final in
Nebraska, but tho food commissioner
stood pat on his proposition to require
Nebraska manufacturers to keep their
cream up to the standard and Mr. Cor
less received llttlo comfort from his In
terview with the Nebraska commissioner.
"Ice cream Is n luxury, not a neces
sity."' said the commissioner today, and
for that reason people who use It want
It first class."

Thousands and thousandit of Omahana

this mornttiB, all bent on glvlni: "Old

which waa not brilliantly Illuminated,
provlnn that those cynical souls who
scorn New Tear's festivities are few and
far between In Omnha. As the hour and
minute hands crept closer and closer to
gether, tho midnight revelry grew faster
and faster. The tables in the cafes nnd
hotels became more and more congested
with merrymakers and the spirit of tho
occasion grew so Intense that when the
minute hand slipped past the hour hand
the new born year was given positive
proof that Its arrival was more than wel
come In Omaha.
Every cafe In the city, from the big
dining rooms of the larger hotels to the
smaller cafes and chop suey parlors,
which aro found on tho second and third
floors of buildings In most any location,
was congested to capacity. Just before
midnight a lone traveling man endeav
ored to find a single seat In some prov
ender palace, hut his quest was in vain
not a chair was unoccupied.
In the hotels, tho Paxton, the Ttome,
the Henshaw and the loyal, all the ta

slip might deprive them of the privilege
of enjoying New Year's eve In the man

Prices were given a gentle boost In
nearly all restaurants, but that failed to

to pay tho mortgages on their fathers'

of refreshments served was practically
unlimited.
Proprietors and managers of the hotela
asserted yesterday afternoon that no or
ders for drinks would be filled and that
the lid vould be tight, nut the lid did
not remain tight all ovonlng; it tipped
Just a bit here and there, leaving a suf
ficient opening to appoaso those who de
manded something with which to moisten
their substantial food.
At the various cIuds watch parties of
different kinds were held. At the Uni
versity club a supper was served a few
minutes after 11 o'clock and the supper
was accompanied by a surprise which
consisted of n perfectly good cabaret
show. The supper was excellent and the
cabaret was declared tho equal of any
thing Now York could produce.
At the Omaha club supper was served
all evening, as It always Is. Nothing In
honor of the new year was arranged.
At tho Country club a supper dance
was held. The guests tangoed nnd trotted
until 11:30, when supper wns perved,
At the Field club a very Informal dance
was held. Tho attendance was limited
to a select few, hut those present made
up for the deficiency In numbers by an
abundance of Jollity.
Nearly all dancing clubs held dancing
parties ami ovcry hall In Omaha was en
gaged for the entlro evening.
Theater. Do finod llnslne.s.
All theaters did a rusmng business.
Many attended the theater uud then re
tired to the restaurants to complete the
evening's entertainment. At the dayety
two shows were held, tho regular per
formance and a midnight show. The mid
night show packed the house to capacity
with those who were so unfortunate as
to be unablo to secure reservations nt
the rafea. A surprlso was put on by
Manager Johnson, which consisted of the
chasing of the old year 1913 off the stage
by the new year 1H.
Street car service was extended for the
evening and for tho morning, and It was
needed The late cars leaving downtown
Junctions well aftor 1 o'clock this morn
ing were loaded with Joyous crowds of
persons who were not content to go home
until the last cafe had closed and the
last car was announced. Kven after the
lust cars had made their trips, stragglers
who stuck to the ship, regardless, could
be seen trudging their way homeward
bound.
It was a jolly old year and a Jolly new
year In Omaha for those who celebrated.
Nothing more could b( asked by the most
fastidious. Those who have been In New
York and Chicago on New Year's eve
declared with emphasis that neither city
had anything on Omaha. The only re
