John Dovine, commlsslonur was present at .ho meeting and the two decided that the demands for a decrease In the num ber of saloons would have to bo met and without delay. At present there are about S7 saloons In South Omaha. Complaints from the west end of the city and the south section have been made to the board and so strong ha.vo the complaints becomo that the board will not oppose tho popular will they assert. It Is proposed to reducs tho number of saloons to fifty or under and charge a llccnso fee. Tho ralso of tho license fee will put a largo number of the worst saloons out of business and tho reduced number of beer parlors will permit the South Omaha police force to police saloon districts better than at present. Commissioner Kevlne sold Saturday: "Commissioner Donahue and myself talked tho matter over today. "We would Ufce tho papers to say that we ore going to reduce tho number of saloons in South Omaha. The people seem to w"ant that. We can not reduce tho num ber without Injuring tho schools If wo do not raise ' the licenses on the ones who want to do business in South Omaha.'' Asked If tho report of the meeting was mere tulk, Commissioner Devlno said that tho board or a majority of. It would sec to It that the number of saloons is reduced or known the reason why. All of which leaves the Innumerable ap plicants for liquor licenses up in the air. ' Trylns to SrtI nine. George Postacis, a Greek found a $300 diamond caring in California and came ll the way to South Omaha to sell it to Jacobsen and Furen. Ho tried to sell the Jewel yesterday and "was arrested by Detective Sheahan on suspicion. With Postacls at the tlmo was Tom Conturls who was also locked up. Postacls denies that he came by the diamond earing In any way except by chance. He says ho found the earing while In California and has carried It about with him ever since. Tho Jewelers say that tho gem and its mate together would be worth JS00. At tho police station last night the theory was ventured that the caring was a part of tho swng said to bo marketed over the world by an international gang of diamond thieves. The police say they do not believe the story of Postacis. Ho will be held until an Investigation Is made. Chris Arrested.

Meyer, supervisor of manual training in the fifth and sixth grades of the local schools, has originated and copyrighted a pieca of art in plaster. Miss Meyer has named her production the "Joy Boy." Tho figure Is that of tv full grown youth sitting tailor fashion with folded arms uplifted from the chest The face Is that of a Hon, with a smile, parting the Hps and rippling about tho eyes and face. The predominant color Is green with a bluelsh tinge, which latter color the "Joy Boy" has absorbed; To drive away the blues Is the mission of "Joy Boy" for Its owner. This piece of art is molded In three sizes. An Italian plastic artist Is making this mascot of happiness and there Is much promise of many sales of this artistic talisman, over which Miss Meyer's friends are enthusiastic and have decided to pur chase. Those who know Miss Meyer ap preciate her ability in art and know that Nostrils and Head Stopped Up From Cold?

At the direction of Superintendent E. U Graff, the would-be printers In the school are getting out lists of books recom mended by Librarian Edljlj Tobltt. as good for children to read. As the com position of such lists Is excellent practice for the lads, and they would never bo printed except through such an arrange ment, the scheme bpneflts the students and the library, as well as the children Into whose hands the printed lists fall. At the same tlmo the commercial printers see no grounds for a complaint that their business is being spoiled. The lists aro distributed through tho schools to stu dents throughout the city.

TIIE BEE; REPUBLICANS TO CLOSE GAP Effort Made to Bring About the Reorganization of Committee. SOME RESIGNATIONS OFFERED Chntrmnn nnd Srcrrtnrle Offer to Quit, hnt Point of No Qnortim ts Rained to 3Inkc Pro ceeding Informal. At a called meeting of the Douglas county republican committee, hold at the Romo hotel Saturday afternoon, only thlrty-slx of the ninety-four members showed up. Tho purposo of tho meeting was to make plans for a banquet to bo held some time in April. Proceedings were enlivened by the "ap pearance of Henry Ostrom, deputy elec tion commissioner, who was chairman )t tho "progressive"' republican commlt co, and Henry T. Gcnau, secretary of tho same organization. Thoy came with proposals that tho '.'republicans" get to gether and offered to resign their offices and disband their organization on con dition of a reorganization of tho regular committee. I After much talk and scvoinl caucusscs, Henry C. Myers, chairman of the regu lar republican commlttco, tendered his resignation, and was followed by Mat thew J. Greevy, secretary, who resigned, but called attention to the fact that tho proceedings were Informal, as no quorum of the regular commlttco was present C. L. Mather of Benson was chosen chair man and Amos Thomas of Omaha sec retary. Considerable commotion occurred dur ing tho roll call caused by outsiders try ing to. partlctpato In the proceedings and efforts to avoid' making a record that would disclose tho absence of a quorum. A committee of five was appointed to arrange for a big republican banquet to bo held perhaps tha second week In April. Tho members, of tho banquet com mlttco are Heiiry u. Meyers, chairman J. C. Klnslcr, Henry Ostrom, David Shanahan and John Larson. A speaker of national famo is to be secured for tho banquet Either Senator A. B. Cum mins of Iowa or cx-Qovernor Herbert S.
