Claude ID. Teer, former William
son county legislator who was ap-
pointed by Chmn. Ross S. Sterling
as secretary of the highway commits
sion, later to be appointed by Gov.
Dan Moody as member OF the board
of control, has been suggested for
some strategic post in the admin
ist-ation Of Mr.. Sterling as governor.
What office Il will be has not been
decided, and no official announce
ment has been made; but II has
been said in capital gossip that
often turns out true, that Mr.. Teer
will be invited TO leave the board Of
control place for some other state
office even more intimately linked
with the incoming administration.
Speculation Is active, now that
the democratic convention is out
OF the way, over several remaining
appointments TO be made By Gov.
Dan Moody in the final four months
OF his term, and of the original cab
met appointments Of Nominee Ross
s. Sterling.
II Is believed at the capitol that
Gov. Moody will within the next
few DAYS appoint Adrian Pool, FL
PasC. as q member Of the board
of control to succeed r. B. Walthall,
Eeff appointee who is now serving
beyond his term awaiting the Selec-
Ei2p of his successor.
Should Claude d. Teer be invited
from the board Of control to some
other post, thus creating a second
vacancy on that board. Rep. John
r. Wallace Of league. who declined
the comptrollership. Is reported as
the prospective selection, either for
appointment by Moody or Sterling,
according TO the time of Teer's re-
tirement from the pest.
At the close OF the state conven-
ton, when Mr. Sterling was offici-
ally declared the nominee for gov
ernor, he had not rendered his
resignation as highway commission
chairman. 1t seemed probable he
would remain in office at least
through the September commission
meeting next Monday and Tuesday,
before retiring from the job he has
held for three years and eight
! months.
\ d. K. Martin. San Antonio. close
friend OF both Gov. Moody and Mr..
Sterling. Is most discussed for the
post. He is a former highway COM
mission member. Along with Mr..
Martins name, that Of Rep. r. M.
Hubbard Of Bowie county, former
highway commission chairman, IS
being frequently mentioned.
In case Highway Calmmr. Cone
johnson declines reappcintment
that is sure to be rendered him in
January. then both Martin and
Hubbard are considered as pros
pective material for the road board.
Some Of the notables who we're
missing and missed from the demo-
cratic state cora ention were the
venerable Former Atty. Gen. M. M.
Crane. Dallas. who was temporary
chairman of the 1924 convention at
Austin and a dominant figure AT
many in the past: jed G. Adams.

and the West Coast.
According to the American Air Trans
port Association, which represents 81
commercial companies, passenger-carry.
ing planes now are flying 1851 miles
a day and are serving 226 communities
on 263 regular schedules. This COM
pares with 81 .025 flown q year ago, con-
Meeting only Isl points.
Thirty-nine companies are operating
regularly, compared with al q year ago,
and a timetable of plane schedules Just
issued assumes many of the character
istics of regular railway schedule.
Radio is playing an increasingly i'm
portant part on the longer passenger
routes. The Boeing Co., with two-way
radio telephone communication with its
pilots all of the time that they are in
the air, advises that the results have
been excellent. The telephone removes
nearly all but the mechanical hazard
from flying, and that is considered neg
ilg1ble with modern planes.

Reports Emphasizing Prog

special pispateh to The star.

CHICAGO, July 9.-Air traffic is in
creaSing steadily in volume, even in a
period of slack general business. Avia-
ton companies feel that this means that
a decided squirt of activity waits only
for a return to normal in the industrial
world.
Reports of the larger operating COM
panies emphasize the progress made
during the first six months of this year.
Nearly all have had increased mail BUSH
ness with passenger traffic far ahead of
year ago. Reduced fares, however,
have had some effect on the return
from the passenger carrying.
National Air Transport advises that
it carried 1,042,315 pounds of mail and
express during the first half of 1890, an
increase of 97,215 pounds over the cor
responding period year ago. Boeing,
which handles large share os the mail
business to tho West Coast, reports in
creases, and it is about to spend $500, 900
on hangers for planes at seven points
between Chicago and Oakland.
the Consolidated Air Passenger Bu-
reau, at Chicago, says that three times
as much passenger business was han
dled out of Chicago in June of this year
as in June year ago. Transcontinental
Air Transport carried 10000 passengers
on its train-plane service during the
year, with travel increasing.
Boeing in the Fall is planning to open
an all-plane transcontinental passenger
service to cover the span between New
York and San Francisco in about 81
hours. Twenty-hour service already is
