The authorities emphasized, however, that the sub poena for Thomas was written in the course of . general investigation of the affairs of many juGges" in the eastern district. President Roosevelt had ordered . vigorous" inquiry of the federal judiciary.
 At the offices of U. s. Attorney Gregory ?. Noonan 1t was said that Thomas would be questioned more thoroughly than Manton, who also has been subpoenaed to appear bee fore the grand jury and present the records of his personal business transactions.
 It was said that both Manton and Thomas must appear or be held h contempt Of court. Neither can seek immunity according to an opinion written by Manton himself several years ago.
 Thomas presides over Connecti- cut district and has been on the Federal bench for 25 years follow ing his appointment by President Wilson. Authorities said it had been his custom to take vacation at this time every year.
 The Santa Barbara will arrive Ut Cristobal on February 0, Grace line officials said, When federal authori- ties learned shat Thomas had sailed they radioed Capt. Duncan Scott to return the judge to New York After discussing who would pay the costs of the return trip, Scott told the authorities that Thomas refused to leave the ship. Thereupon the Cris- tobal authorities were ordered to serve the subpoena.

 Grace Line officials said that the Santa Barbara would stop at MianL Fla, tomorrow, but federal author- itieS did not indicate that any att tempt would be made to serve the subpoena there,
 In the Thomas party were Mrs. Thomas, John Keogh, Counsel q. Leroy Kemp ln the Merritt Park. way land scandals, and Mrs Keosh.

elections.
It's long bill and that used up
a lot of time. Then. it seemed that
there was only ten copies of the bill
in existence, not nearly enough to
go round to the members. There was
talk and argument about this. 1t
was noticeable that John Kerr, Jr.,
one of the group which doesn't
want anything done if it can be
helped, talked at some length urg-
ing that everything stop until the
bill can be printed.
Then Mr.. Null got the floor and
made considerable argument for the
subcommittee report. 1t was an
able effort, but when all is said
and done, nothing but an almost
word-for-word repetition of pre-
vious address to the very same COM
mittee on the very same subject.
By the time he was. through. it
was time for the House to convene,
so adjournment was hastily taken,
with the election reform bill lust
about as far from being reported
: and acted on as at the opening of
| the mornings session. AZ
A few more such delays and it
will be just too bad for the chances
Of any real reform at this session.

Here on the hill we pause for flight
Over a tracklesS sea of white,
\ siler sea of moonlight snow
Now with a slow, soft swish we go!
The mast of a passing ship, that pine;
See. how the moons traced a cold
black line
on the curve of her battered old
poop RAIL-
And Vega hangs caught in her
threadbare sail
With stars overhead and stars below
Where snowy diamond crystals glow,
The song of our skis is the song of
wings,
A soft, swift Swimming of white
gull's wings.
For track or trail we have no need,
Flying stars follow our flying lead.
AS down in the valley we sWoop on
our wings
Everything in the white world sings.
Space and time are left behind
Where city lights CLEAN and path
ways bind.
Here we are free to fly through the
snow
Over the hills as the white hares go.
White spray splashes our faces with
light
AS on we skim through the limitless
night;
Over the hills and over the snow,
Sweet is the song of our skis below.

pressed concern over the fact that
the committee is not yet ready to
make any report to the floor of the
house on the absentee ballot ques-
ton (confessedly the. chief bone of
contention and the real crux of the
committees problems).
Difficulties of the situation are
multiplied by the multiplicity of
other committee meetings, a fact
which makes it very hard indeed to
get the elections committee togeth-
er as frequently as is desired by
those who really crave action.
Another delaying factor is the
fact that everybody on the commit

thing on the absentee question, and
usually what they have to say re-
