FIGHT ON I.C.C. POST
OF TATE REVEALED
Tennesseean Seeks Reappoint
ment as Truck Interests In
dorse Another Candidate.
By the Associated Press.
A behind-the-scenes battle for the
interstate commerce commissioner's
job now held by former Judge Hugh
M. Tate of Knoxville. Tenn., came
to light today.
Tate's seven-year term expired De
cember 31, but, in accordance with the
new I. C. C. act, he will hold office
until his successor is selected and
qualified. He is a candidate for re
appointment.
President Roosevelt has given no
indication of whether he expects to
reappoint Tate or the other commis
sioner whose term has expired, Joseph
B. Eastman of Boston.
Uncertainty over Tate’s position
arose from opposition to his candidacy
by Senator McKellar of Tennessee.
Eastman is an Independent, Tate
a Republican. Neither appointment
may be given to a Democrat, as six
other members of the commission,
the legal maximum for any one party,
are Democrats.
A group of motor truck Interests
! recently called on McKellar to indorse
! John L Rogers of Knoxville, now
; employed by the commission as chief
of its Bureau of Motor Carriers.

Come and see —in actual operation —new inventions that have revo
lutionized old ideas of heating in hundreds of thousands of homes.
EXHIBIT AT 1132 CONNECTICUT AYE., N. W.
Admission Free!
"Would you like to know how you can get all of
the advantages of automatic heat by a simple,
inexpensive addition to your present heater?
Then see what modern thermostats can do to
save you time and money.
See how engineering skill makes it possible to
modernize your own heater. See automatic an
thracite burners that feed fuel from a closed bin
to the fire, remove the ashes, and require no
attention all season!
It’s all here—and more! Here is a complete
display of the amazing inventions that make
automatic anthracite heat so easy to own and so
surprisingly economical.
This exhibit is especially timely now because
of the current widespread interest in smoke
abatement. Anthracite can not produce smoke.
It gives clean and smokeless heat in any equip
ment, no matter how inexpensive.
See for yourself how thousands upon thou
sands of homes are now enjoying automatic heat
at the lowest possible co6t—with anthracite. Be
sure and register your name and address at the
