not attractive there seemed neither
cause for alarm nor need for n prema-
ture descent. Even the growing rumble
of thunder at a great distance. which
came at last, failed to discomfort, and
the airplane scared on with bracing
wires singing and the engine in deep,
full-thrOated roar.
Then. without further warning. the
storm broke in full fury. A mighty
crash of thunder, which seemed to
deafen and almost shake the machine
out Of the skies. was accompanied by
wild burst of hail and rain which
dashed the machine mercilessly and
made 1t toss from one side to the other

In swift succession between vivid

the fabric of the planes; the machine
was becoming more and more I'M

below cloud of vapor made 1t i'm

The thunder broke with undated fury
at regular intervals, and at each on

equally hazardous to plunge down into

of hope cling. The engine therefore
was suddenly shut off and the nose Of
the machine dropped.

tons to the Secretary of State at any
time the leaders became dissatisfied with
the conduct of their representatives in the
Legislature. Officials are confident they
can thus prove to the satisfaction of the
entire State that the five suspended mem
bers were totally subservient to the
anarchists. whom they recognized as
bosses" and that obligations TO the state
could be overruied in n moment by men
whose sole mission here is to overthrow
the government by force and violence.
A third step follows naturally. That will
be to show the activities of the five AS
lsemblymen in carrying out their trust
from their anarchistc leaders. In the dis
cussions so far emphasis has been laid
chiefly on this point Now it is understood
to be Of equal importance with the other
phases of the inquiry.
Convinced from the public attitude that
the people OF the State demand more than
generslities. the State officials are pre-
pairing to show by specific instances ex-
acuy what the five Assemblymen have
done in word and deed to prove their
loyalty TO their party and leaders. There
is much evidence bearing directly on that
point

Arrangements for the trial are practi-
cally completed. Seats have been as

Several moves in the controversy prob.
ably will be made Monday evening when
the Legislature convenes. Assemblymar
Ames, of New York. has given notice he
will move to reseat the Socialist members

renew the fight for the Socialists. Every
indication is that Speaker Sweet and his
