|. S. C. CHAIRMAN
OUT AS SENATE
FAILS TO O. K.

WASHINGTON Dec. 81 tR)--As a
reslt of the senate's failure to act
upon his denomination, John j. Esch,
of Wisconsin, chairman of the inter
state commerce commission during
1927, automatically went out of office
tonight as the old year died.
Mr.. Esch, who, as member OF
the house, Of representatives, was CO.
author of the transportation act, was
reappointed recently by President
Coolidge on the expiration OF his
first term as a commissioner The
senate Interstate commerce commit
tee, on motion of Senator Wheeler,
democrat, Montana, postponed a vote
on the confirmation, however, and
congress recessed for the holidays be-
fore it again convened. Under the
law the place will remain VaNant, Mr..
ESchs nomination awaiting consider
alton when congress convenes next
week, and if it is confirmed he will
resume his duties.
BY coincidence, the commission is
threatened with another vacancy in
its membership Henry Hall, of Colo
rado, for some weeks has Aad in
President Coolidge's hands a resigna-
ton intended to- take effect whenever
the president was ready to name a
successor. Political gossip today dealt
with the, names of several individuals
said to have been given White House
consideration in this connection.
Among those mentioned were Victor
E. Wilson, who served for four years
as a member of the Nebraska state
railroad commission but recently NOV
ed to Los Angeles where he is now q
practicing attorney. Others under
stood to have been favorably recon-
mended to the president were Claude
Porter, of Des Moines, former mem
Der of congress, and P. j. Farrell, now
solicitor of the commission.
It is expected, unde rthe bipartisan
law, that the president will name 9
man affiliated with the democratic
party, and it has been further saic
that in naming Commissioner Halls
successor the president would like to
obtain a man from the western terri
tory.

President InUites S.
Public to Observe
Passing of the Year

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81, tR-With
mixed emotions, the cosmopolitan
population of the national capital
said adieu tonight to the old year.
AS the clocks licked away the
last few hours of 1927, crowds OF
merrymakers swarmed downtown
streets, theaters, hotels and cafes to
give the new year a rousing greet
ing. Others gathered in homes, pub
lie places of entertainment, clubs
and churches, while some carried
their celebration to the doors of the
White House.
Following custom established a
year ago, lone trumpeter was on
hand to send forth from the roof of
the White House the melancholy
notes of taps as the final minutes of
1927 sped into eternity and then to
change to the spirited tune Of re-
veilee, the soldiers good morning,
as the minute clock turned on to
1928
Also a part of the program was
a double brass quartette of the Ma
rine band which came to play "Your
Land and My Lands as the new
year was being welcomed, then to
step aside while another member of
the Marine band tapped out "Bells of
st. Mary's" on the chimes obligato.
The man chosen to say goodbye to
1927 with taps and to welcome the
new year with reveille was Arthur S.
Whitcomb, member of the marine
band, who sounded the soldiers bur-
ial dirge on the cornet at the funerals
of the unknown soldier and Presi-
dent Harding.
The president and Mrs. Coolidge
had invited the public to the north
grounds of the White House to take
part in this annual observance OF
watchnight, and as midnight neared
waited in their private rooms, Wis
iting with their son John, for the
stroke of twelve to bring them tc
their windows to listen with the
irest.

TAX REDUCTION
FORECAST
BY SEN. SMOOI
Assurance Given That Tax
Bill Will Be Passed Dur
ing Session.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81 P9-Con-
fident of obtaining a delay in senate
consideration OF the tax reduction
measure until after first tax returns
Of the new year are made on March
Is, Chairman Smoot of the senate
finance committee gave assurance to-
day that administration leaders would
insist upon passage OF a bill before
the end OF the session.
The promise of Senator Smoot
was given after circulation OF re-
ports about the capitol that the
delay movement was the first ster
in a scheme to sidetrack a tax cut
altogether.
Such a program had been limited al
by some of the independent repub-
Iican group who not only are willing
to support the postponement, but de-
clared they would just as soon pass
over tax reduction at this session
applying the treasury surplus to re-
tirement Of the $4,000 100000 public
debt.
Support by the group made il
almost certain that the Smoot-Mellor
plan for delay in the tax bill unit
after March Is would prevail despite
some threats OF stiff fight from
the democratic side.
The democratic opposition, how
ever, has not Solidified and there

Most Severe Weather Of
Winter Takes Deadly
Toll in North.
COLD GREETING
New Year Welcomed With
COldest Blasts For Many
Seasons Past.
(By the Associated PRESS.


Old 1927 bowed out with an icy
chuckle, having demonstrated his
poetncy by shifting the nation with
the most severe weather Of the winter
and in some sections the coldest in
years
Virtually the entire country felt
the sting of the old years parting
blow and prepared to greet the new
year amid temperatures of zero or
far below in the northern and CEN
trail portions and below freezing
along the southern fringe. New Or
leans experienced its coldest new
years morn in 80 years, while the
PLACID lower Rio Grande valley of
Texas awaited the ushering in Of
below freezing temperatures.
Several deaths were attributed to
the storm, trains were delayed and
highways blocked in the west and
off the northern Atlantic coast a
heavy fog menaced shipping.
Out Of the Canadian Rocky Noun
tain region, source of many win
ter's storm, the cold wave swept,
spreading snow and subzero weather
over the mountain states and then
reaching southeastward into the
middleWest and central sections.
Singing was the northwind, as it
drifted snow before it, piling it high
in railroad cuts and on highways.
The heaviest snowfall of the year it
was in the vicinity about Kansas
City, where it exceeded six inches.
Into Oklahoma, where the coolest
December 81 on record was expert
enced at Oklahoma City, and into
Texas and Arkansas the storm
spread. Temperatures below freezing
were predicted for the gulf coastal
region by morning. Advancing east
ward, the storm left cold weather in
southern states and veered northward
to assure the east nippy New Years
day. Rain was predicted for New
England, followed by snow.
