The services on the Treasury steps were opened by Rcxford I>- Holmes, head of the District Christian Endeavor Union, who explained briefly the object of the open-air celebration. Rev. A. W. Spoon- er, rector of the Sixth Presbyterian Church, pronounced the invocation, and then pictures of President Wilson and of a number of public buildings were thrown on a large screen which had been erect¬ ed for the purpose. Under the leadership of Percy S. Fos¬ ter, a large choir then sang a number of religious and patriotic hymns and songs. T«e words of the songs were thrown on the screen, and many of the people in the crowd joined In the singing. Music was furnished by Pistorio's Band. The entertainment Is to be repeated next New Year eve. The music committee last night was composed of William E. Ballard, Lester E. Ballard, Roy F. McCarty, William E. Braithewalte, Daniel Q. Angevine, Miss Virginia Raymond and Miss Caroline Martin. Paul H. Watson was chairman of the finance committee. T. Carl Crump was chairman of the publicity commit¬ tee and Walter F. Winslow was chair¬ man of tl'ie lantern committee. A message from Secretary of the Navy Daniels was read. It was a? follows: "My New Year's wish for the Chris¬ tian Endeavor in the coming year is that its many good endeavors will be trans- lated into good deeds. More strength to .its arm for righteousness." Entertainment at Press Club. The New Year was ushered in with a rush at the National Press Club, where Secretary to the President Joseph Tum¬ ulty was among the guests. Beginning at 9 o'clock there were songs and dances and other entertainments by amateurs and professionals until after 4 o'clock this morning. The Nordica Mandolin and Guitar Club under the leadership of Walter T. Holt, proved to be one of the big hits of the evening. Playing all the latest "rags" and festive music, this club entered into the spirit of the occasion and drove away dull care from every one present. The program, which had been arranged by a committee headed by Frank P. Morse, included actors from various the¬ aters. Edwin Callow began with a dra¬ matic recital. "The Strike at the Forge," and George O'Connor sang "If He Comes In, I'm Going Out." "My Cousin Caruse" and others of his farvorites, accompanied by Matt Horn. Frank Fay and Stanley Fields of the Cosmos gave their skit, "Two Nuts on a Sea of Nonsense." Frank Walton of the Casino sang "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" and told several stories. Keith's bill was represented by A1 I^ee and James Hussey in parodies, and Lew Dockett and Jack Waldron, who sang a number of catchy sonars. Frank W est- phal. at Keith's, p^ompanied them and played several *plano solos. Edwin Ste¬ vens of Keith's, and Charles Meakins from the National, and El is H. Arm¬ strong and E. J. Rutan from the Casino, completed the list of entertainers. At midnight the club members and their guests joined in singing "Auld Lang Syne" and "America." but the festivities continued until almost daybreak. Elks' Club Entertains. # At the Elks' Club the members had ! their wives and friends as their guests, making up a gathering of more than 1,000 people. When midnight came every light in the building was suddenly put out, and then on the wal s of each room flashed out this greeting In electric lights: "Washington Lodge of Elks wishes you all a happy and prosperous New Year." At 11 o'clock Past Exalted Ruler Frank A. Kidd made a short ad¬ dress, and read the Klks' creed. Contributing to the entertainment were Miss Clara Naecker, contralto; Prof. Horton, with his chain and padlock act; Frank Dougherty, baritone solo; Master Charles Hutch.nson boy soprano, in two songs, 'A Fool There Was" and "After All I've Been to Jfou"; Frank C. Green aad his talking doll; Master Robert Schmidt, Washington's boy soprano, sing¬ ing "The-Jungle Man Rag." and appear¬ ing in a duet. "A Girlie Was Just Made to Love," with Master Hutchinson, Prof. McGuire and Prof. Zimmerman and Mil¬ ton Davis, pianists. A musical feature of the program was the United States Marine Band, with Arthur Whitcomb cornet soloist. After the evening performance of the local theaters had ended a number of vaude¬ ville artists entertained with parts or all of their acts. Sons of Jonadab Celebrate.

The Sons of Jonadab held their watch- night services at 623 Louisiana avenue last night, being in session from 8 o'clock p.m. to 7.30 o'clock this morning. After the initiatory ceremonies, conducted by the order with the officers of Empire Council in the chairs, with th© except on of Patriarch Quinn of Pioneer Council, u "good of the order" was held.

The exercises consisted of re¬ marks, recitations and music, vocal and instrumental. * . James Croggon, the only surviving member of the original six. was called on aJid gave a short history of the an¬ cient Joitu<lal>s. gathered from the thirty- lifth chapter of J.-remlah and other por¬ tions of the Scriptures, noting the fact that tla-y accepted the commaud of their chief to abstain from liquor forever, while other people mentioned took their piedKes f<»r specified terms. He conclud¬ ed his remarks by stating there was more In the pledge than simply abstain¬ ing from liquor, because they were en¬ joined to do all the good they codld for a fellow man. Large Delegations Present. Large delegations were present from Empire Council, at the Navy Yard, Good Will Council of South Washington. Monu¬ mental of Baltimore, Frederick City Council aud Potomac Council of Har¬ pers Ferry. Just before midnight the order prepared to renew their obligations and two circles were formed.

DAWN OF THE NEW YEAR IS GREETED WITH GAYETY Chevy Chase Club and Guests Ob¬ serve Advent of 1014 With Usual Dance.Many Diners. Members of the Chevy Chase Club and their guests observed the Incoming year with the usual Wednesday evening dance. A huge Christmas tree occupied the cen¬ ter of the dancing floor, whlcl) was filled to its capacity with couples who danced the old year out and the new one in. Colored lights, fancy paper headgear, gayly decorated horns and rattles, all lent a festive air to the occasion. The arrival of 1914 was anounced by the ringing of sleigh bells and a momentary period of darkness; the orchestra played "Home, Sweet Home," and everybody ex¬ tended to everybody else the felicitations of the season. Owing to the scarcity of 1914 Maryland numbers, three-fourths of the automobiles were compelled to park at the District line to avoid the attentions of the Mont¬ gomery county authorities, who were promptly on the job at the hour of mid¬ night. Dinners Previous to Dance. Among those who entertained at dinner at the club previous to the dancing last evening were Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Dem- ing, Dr. and Mrs. Devereux, Mr. and Mrs. Bogart, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. D. Ful¬ ler, Mr. and Mrs. Scott, Paymaster and Mrs. S. Lawrence Heap, Mr. and Mrs. Howard S. Nyman, Mr. and Mrs. Henry H. Glassie, Dr. and Mrs. Glazebrook, Commander and Mrs. Jones, Judge and Mrs. Perkins, Mr. and Mrs. Dodge, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Walker, Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Wagenhorst, Mr. Meem, Commander and Mrs. C. B.

Wheeler and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Davis. JAIL INMATES ENTERTAIN. Prisoners Contribute Songs and Dances in New Year Greeting. Inmates of the District jail gave 1913 a fond farewell and 1914 a hearty recep¬ tion last night. Entertainment features were provided, some of the numbers be¬ ing by the prisoners themselves.. A bari¬ tone solo was rendered by Mr. Dobson, the prisoners joining in the chorus, 'there was a quartet of woman prisoners, a comedy buck and wing dance and a solo and dance by a seventy-six-year-old pris¬ oner. A short address was delivered by War¬ den Zinkhan, in the course of which he appealed to the prisoners to turn over a new leaf in the new year. In reso¬ lutions favorably acted upon by the pris¬ oners Mrs. Zinkhan was thanked for her k.nd acts during the year, Fred W. Henke was. thanked for entertainments given the prisoners, and Thomas Moore for the use of moving picture machines and reels. HILARITY IN OTHER CTIIES. New Year Welcomed With Dances, * Dinners and Various Entertainments. NEW YORK. . Dancing, dancing everywhere was the notable feature of New York's celebration of the New Year. They danced not only in the places de¬ voted to the latest style of dancing, but even in the most conservative hote s, .vhich in the past have* frowned upon such amusement In their dining rooms. The number of those who dined and then danced in establishments on Broadway is placed at from sixty to seventy thousand. A like number found accommodations elsewhere. Although Mayor Kline had expressed himself in favor of a sane and noiseless New Year celebration New Yorkers gen¬ erally saw the old year out In the manner still popular with its citizens. A spirit of reverence was not lacking, however. Crowds in Madison Square and in City Ha 1 Park took a serene Interest in the coming of another year and near old Trinity the same quantity was noticeable. CHICAGO,.With a "sane" New Year ordered by the police, a two-hundred- and-fifty-thousand-dollar flood of cham¬ pagne turned on by restaurant^ and a watch-night service in almost every church. Chicagoans had their choice of celebrations. Horns, confetti and ticklers were forbidden by Mayor Harrison, but street crowds had plenty of noise pro¬ ducers. The restaurant gayety showed the influence of the widespread contagion of the tango and other new dances. There was less noise and less breakage, it was said, but more singing and dancing, than ever before. There was no cessation of the uproar until the early hours. An army of 23»> church workers was enlisted by one law-enforcement league to tak» evidence of violations of the closing act BALTIMORE..Taps for the dying year were sounded by buglers and the crowd sang "The Star Spangled Banner" at the community tree. PHILADELPHIA.*.The singing of the doxoiogy by thousands of voices ac¬ companied by two brass bands replaced the usual noisy welcome to the New Year in Independence Square. Police succeeded in reducing the use of revolv¬ ers, horns and other discordant sounds to a minimum. In all parts of the city worshipers tilled the churches at special services. INDIANAPOLIS^."The hoodoo year" was the name given to several entertain¬ ments in cafes and private clubs, at which revelers rang out the old and wel¬ comed the new year. I^arge crowds gath¬ ered in cafes. An overflow throng kept up the din In the street until long after midnight. Church choirs and musical organisations gave an open-air concert in a downtown park. SAN FRANCISCO*.A downpour of rain slackened the enthusiasm of New Year eve throngs throughout California To make amends, in part, for the weath¬ er, Chief of Police White of San Fran¬ cisco "raised the lid" to the extent of permitting all-night dancing In restau¬ rants and cabarets. Los Angeles, Sacra¬ mento and other California cities were compelled to do their celebrating indoors. Spokane celebrated with extinguishing of lights on its municipal Christmas tree. In Seattle the first municipal celebration of New Year eve took place. Tacoma, Portland and other cities had the usual fetes. DKN MOINES, leu*#.New Year revelry of the riotous tort was "official¬ ly" under the ban in Des Moines by or- d»*r of the police department. The prin¬ cipal cafes of the city closed at 9 o'clock by prearrangement among the owners, after J. J- Jenny, chief of police, had an¬ nounced that he desired a "safe and sane" New Year eve. roLLHBL'S. Ohio..Ohio cities cele¬ brated the coming in of the New Year un¬ der new conditions. It was the first New Year eve for the Ohio license law, and In . addition to police vigilance the state liquor license board had issued an ad¬ monition that any infraction of saloon regulations would be dealt with severely. CLEVELAND..'This city gave the new year a "community greeting." Twelve bands, massed In the public square, treated thousands to & concert that lasted from lo:3u p.m. until aiier midnight. New Year eve revels at hotel grill rooms, restaurants and cafes were limited, because of the chief of police's announcement that the midnight closing ordinance would be rigidly enforced. DETROIT..Although police officials announced that the regular closing-hour law, with reference to the sale of liquor, would be strictly enforced, cafe and hotel itroprietors said table reservations were arger than ever before. CINCINNATI..With a promise ex¬ acted from every hotel cafe and saloon¬ keeper to observe the midnight closing law, this city went dry at midn'ght for the first time in its history on New Year eve. All tables in leading hotels and cafes, reserved months In advance, were crowded from 10 o'clock. CLEAR SKIES AID NEW YEAR DAY (Continued from First Page.) ?wke! fo1 his arm by Mrs Bryan, and the Secretary escorted Mme. Jusserand. Pineapple and grape juice punches were served, in lieu of wine, in accordance with Secretary Bryan's well known cus¬ tom not to serve the latter. Those Who Were Invited. The details of the breakfast and invi¬ tation list were arranged by the De¬ partment of State, in accordance with custom, although it took place this year at Mr. Bryan's home instead of at the Pan-American building:, in which Mr. and Mrs. Knox, when the former was Secretary of State, several years ago, started the custom of giving the break¬ fast, largely because of the great amount ? H?*?* available in that building. Those invited today included the members of tno benate and House foreign relations committees, the assistant secretaries of state, the principal officers of the Pan- * tn®f/can Union and the women of their families, as well as all the ambassadors, ministers, counselors, charges, naval and military attaches and others ac¬ credited here from foreign countries. rollowing the breakfast, the Secretary of State and Mrs. Bryan, at 2:30 o'clock, began a public reception, receiving alone, and welcoming their hosts of friends in Washington. Speaker and Mrs. Clark Keeping Open House Today to Receive Their Friends The Speaker and Mrs. Clark are keep¬ ing open house today and, wiih the hospitality which has characterized all their social life at the capital, are wel¬ coming all of their acquaintances. Miss Genevieve Clark, their only daughter, and incidentally one of the prettiest girls enjoying general society for the first time this winter, will re¬ ceive with her parents, as will her brother. Bennett Clark. Miss Clark supplemented an education in local and other schools by a long period of travel In Europe the present year and be^an her debutante career this winter by not only sharing all the honor and pleasures offered the daughter a prominent personage like her father, but also took over the housekeeping cares of her home, relieving her mother. Miss Imogene Thomson, Miss Alice Wilks Preston, daughter of the mayor of Baltimore. Miss Helen Cox, daughter of the Governor of Ohio, and Miss Dorothy Harvey, daughter of Col. George Harvey of New York, are house guests of Miss Clark and will assist in entertaining callers. This afternoon Mrs. William Randolph Hearst, Mrs. George Harvey, Mrs. James R. Mann. Mrs. Harry C. Woodyard, Mrs. David Jayne Hill, Miss Katherine Hill, Miss Marie Peary, Miss Marcia Murdock, Miss Jean Winter, Miss Agra Bennett, Miss Jean Roberts, Miss Ruth Roberts, Miss Amy Bennett, Miss Dorothea Owen, Miss Laura Graves, Miss Kleanor Con¬ nolly and Miss Ruth Patterson will be also in the receiving party. The drawing rooms and dining rooms have been decorated in pink roses. Army and Navy Officers Received by Secretaries Garrison and Daniels For the first time in more than a cen¬ tury officers of the Army and Navy and Marine CorpB did not have an oppor¬ tunity today to greet their commander- in-chief at the annual New Year recep¬ tion at the White House. For years the spectacle of the brilliantly arrayed of¬ ficers marching from the State. War and Navy building across Executive avenue to the Executive Mansion has been one of the features of New Year day in Washington. The officers of the nation's defense thus came to be the observed of all observers to the thousands of every¬ day citizens who formed outside the westerly gate of the White House grounds to wait their turn in the long line of the presidential guests. Familiar Figrures Missed. For years Lieut. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, retired, the ranking officer of the army, upon whose shoulders the years have placed no stoop, has led his associates In the march to the White House, with Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the army, also one of the figures soon¬ est recognized by the throng. Casual passers-by the Executive Mansion to¬ day also missed the familiar figure of George Dewey, the admiral of the navy whose steady step and erect figure give no hint of the years that have passed over his head since the memorable May MR. NEWMAN'S HOPES FOR THE NEW YEAR BY OLIVER. P. VKWM.VX, President Board of t'ommiMlOB- ers of the District of C*lniM>> If the progress indicated aa prob¬ able and possible for the District of Columbia during the new year is achieved, or if a substantial begin¬ ning toward such progress is made, nineteen-fourteen should be a happy new year in Washington. Events of great import to all of the people of the city.reforms that will, it is hoped, make easier, hap¬ pier and fuller the life of every individual.are In prospect of ac¬ complishment, and I feel confident that the most Important, at least, will be realized before the year is closed. Among the things to which I look forward in the hope of seeing them arrive in actual fact are the follow¬ ing: 1. Free, universal, interchange¬ able transfers among the street railway lines. 2. Passage of the alley slum bill, which will wipe out the inhabited alleys in ten years. 3. Valuation of the street rail¬ way, light and telephone companies by the public utilities commission. 4. Reform in assessment and taxation methods that will dis¬ tribute taxes fairly, requiring each person to pay in just proportion to his means. 5. Passage of a bill for the har¬ nessing of Great Falls so that the power now going to waste there may be used to bring lower rates for street car transportation, light and power. On this first day of the new year It is well for us to remember, too, that there probably is not a city of the size of Washington In the coun¬ ty that Is in as magnificent finan¬ cial condition. Every other city I know of has a big load of debt. Washington has practically none. Nearly all other cities are ham¬ pered in great undertakings be¬ cause they have already mortgaged the future heavily. Washington practically has paid as it went along. If Washington were a private corporation it, could easily borrow on the value represented by its property, a hundred million dollars. Tt has an enormous credit that it has not attempted to use, but which is available at any moment if needed. Its possibilities for municipal achievements, therefore, are almost unlimited. morning in Manila bay fifteen and more years ago. But while all this pomp and pageantry of New Year day at the White House was missing today, the birth of the New Year was not unobserved by the Army, Navy and Marine Corps. Received by Secretaries. Elaborate preparations for the recep¬ tion of the officers of the nation's de¬ fense were made by Secretary Garrison of the War Department and Mrs. Garri¬ son, and Mr. Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, and Mrs. Daniels. Throughout the afternoon army and navy and marine officers in their brilliant uniforms, with shining gold lace and glistening swords, were seen afoot or in automobiles making their ways to the respective secretarial residences on Connecticut avenue and on Woodley road to pay their respects. While some of the features of former days were absent, one innovation was made which was voted a great success by the feminine contingent. That was a thoughtful provision in the army and navy circulars extending the hospitalities ~>t the day to the women of the officers' households. One woman was heard to say, "Anyway, I always did believe in compensation." New Year Receptions Held by Members of the Cabinet and Ladies of Families The Secretary of the Treasury and Miss Nona McAdoo, the Secretary of the In¬ terior and Mrs. Franklin K.

Secretary Daniels sent New Year greet- | ings to the naval service last night in the following statement: "The Secretary of the Navy extends the naval service his best wishes for a happy New Year. The officers of the navy have proved themselves capable, tactful and efficient In the performance of their duties In the past, and the men are equally loyal and earnest in their en¬ deavors to promote the good of the service. "The Secretary feels that he can de¬ pend upon the best efforts of officers and men to continue to raise the standard of the service, to preserve high Ideals of honor and loyalty and to be ready for any duty that may devolve upon them In the future. With this reliance in their integrity, the Secretary wishes them a peaceful year of advancement, filled with the content and happiness they so richly ieserve. "The chief cause for gratification is the enthusiastic spirit manifested by officers and men In making effective the policy of the department for the education, pro¬ fessional and academic, of every man in the service. It promises to be the chief glory of the navy in the new year." W. E. C. Holds Reception. The Woman's Relief Corps of the De¬ partment of the Potomac, Q. A.

Construction of a new road Into the Crow Heart country in the Shoshone In¬ dian reservation in Wyoming would be the first and greatest step toward enabling the red men to make themselves at home and utilize their lands, accord¬ ing to a report sent to Congress by Sec¬ retary Lane. The new road is necessary, the Secretary points out. to enable the Indians to locate on their allotments, build houses and cultivate their lands. "This road," said Secretary Lane, "will . , also form part of the Yellowstone Park Highway, which, when completed, will l»e a great advantage to the Indians P»"d largely increase their income*.

    Army and Navy OfficersReceived by Secretaries

    Garrison and DanielsFor the first time in more than a cen¬

    tury officers of the Army and Navy andMarine CorpB did not have an oppor¬tunity today to greet their commander-in-chief at the annual New Year recep¬tion at the White House. For years thespectacle of the brilliantly arrayed of¬ficers marching from the State. War andNavy building across Executive avenueto the Executive Mansion has been oneof the features of New Year day inWashington. The officers of the nation'sdefense thus came to be the observed ofall observers to the thousands of every¬day citizens who formed outside thewesterly gate of the White House groundsto wait their turn in the long line of thepresidential guests.

    Familiar Figrures Missed.For years Lieut. Gen. Nelson A. Miles,

    retired, the ranking officer of the army,upon whose shoulders the years haveplaced no stoop, has led his associatesIn the march to the White House, withMaj. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staffof the army, also one of the figures soon¬est recognized by the throng. Casualpassers-by the Executive Mansion to¬day also missed the familiar figure ofGeorge Dewey, the admiral of the navywhose steady step and erect figure giveno hint of the years that have passedover his head since the memorable May

    MR. NEWMAN'S HOPESFOR THE NEW YEAR

    BY OLIVER. P. VKWM.VX,President Board of t'ommiMlOB-ers of the District of C*lniM>>

    If the progress indicated aa prob¬able and possible for the District ofColumbia during the new year isachieved, or if a substantial begin¬ning toward such progress is made,nineteen-fourteen should be ahappy new year in Washington.Events of great import to all of

    the people of the city.reforms thatwill, it is hoped, make easier, hap¬pier and fuller the life of everyindividual.are In prospect of ac¬complishment, and I feel confidentthat the most Important, at least,will be realized before the year isclosed.Among the things to which I look

    forward in the hope of seeing themarrive in actual fact are the follow¬ing:

    1. Free, universal, interchange¬able transfers among the streetrailway lines.

    2. Passage of the alley slum bill,which will wipe out the inhabitedalleys in ten years.

    3. Valuation of the street rail¬way, light and telephone companiesby the public utilities commission.

    4. Reform in assessment andtaxation methods that will dis¬tribute taxes fairly, requiring eachperson to pay in just proportion tohis means.

    5. Passage of a bill for the har¬nessing of Great Falls so that thepower now going to waste theremay be used to bring lower ratesfor street car transportation, lightand power.On this first day of the new year

    It is well for us to remember, too,that there probably is not a city ofthe size of Washington In the coun¬ty that Is in as magnificent finan¬cial condition. Every other city Iknow of has a big load of debt.Washington has practically none.Nearly all other cities are ham¬pered in great undertakings be¬cause they have already mortgagedthe future heavily. Washingtonpractically has paid as it wentalong.

    If Washington were a privatecorporation it, could easily borrowon the value represented by itsproperty, a hundred million dollars.Tt has an enormous credit that ithas not attempted to use, butwhich is available at any momentif needed. Its possibilities formunicipal achievements, therefore,are almost unlimited.

    morning in Manila bay fifteen and moreyears ago.But while all this pomp and pageantry

    of New Year day at the White Housewas missing today, the birth of the NewYear was not unobserved by the Army,Navy and Marine Corps.

    Received by Secretaries.Elaborate preparations for the recep¬

    tion of the officers of the nation's de¬fense were made by Secretary Garrisonof the War Department and Mrs. Garri¬son, and Mr. Daniels, Secretary of theNavy, and Mrs. Daniels. Throughout theafternoon army and navy and marineofficers in their brilliant uniforms, withshining gold lace and glistening swords,were seen afoot or in automobiles makingtheir ways to the respective secretarialresidences on Connecticut avenue and onWoodley road to pay their respects.While some of the features of formerdays were absent, one innovation wasmade which was voted a great successby the feminine contingent. That wasa thoughtful provision in the army andnavy circulars extending the hospitalities~>t the day to the women of the officers'households. One woman was heard tosay, "Anyway, I always did believe incompensation."

With this reliance in theirintegrity, the Secretary wishes them apeaceful year of advancement, filled withthe content and happiness they so richlyieserve."The chief cause for gratification is the
