SCENE AT CORONATION OF MAY QUEEN IN C03IMEMORATIVE PAGEANT YESTERDAY AT PACIFIC UNIVERSITY. QUEEN CROWNED AGAIN Ceremony, TToweTer, Is Made Part of More Serious and Artistic Commemoration of Past. " BT LEOXE CASS BAER. A distinct departure from the an nual ilay-Uma festivities at Pacific linversity at Forest Grove was pro jected yesterday in a splendid pageant in commemoration of the landing of the Pilgr'ms. Heretofore, the May exercises have consisted of the usual May fete with a queen and her attendants partici pating in the gaieties. On .this occa sipn the queen and her maids partici pated just as in previous years, bat only as a part of the most serious and artstic programme known in the history of the school. So much success attended upon the venture and such generous praise uaa heard from the townspeople and visitors who had come from all around. Including groups of alumni ind friends from Portland, that It is "possible the May festival will take the form of a pageant of some de scription each year. , Grounds Form Amphitheater. ' The beautiful grounds of the fine 'eld school formed a perfect amphl theater, with rows upon rows of seats fringing the edge of the picturesque outdoor stage. The magnificent Wrove of trees made a perfect roof . and the day was one of glorious eun- fchine Tha stores and shops In Forest Grovs closed during the hours of the : enactment of the pageant, and It is estimated that 3000 guests attended. '.There were no admission charges and . only a small fee for seats. Automo biles were parked about the grounds, end; from the machines many visitors iawed the charming picture. The text of the story of the landing. at the Pilgrims was written by MX jraret Marsh of Forest Grove, and a member of the senior class, who wrote in collaboration with Dr. U. L. Lates, dean of the faculty. y. ' . K Dramatic Plot Ced. . There was no dramatic plot em ployed In the ordinary sense, but it Twas rather a series of pictures de picting the progress of the Pilgrim spirit, adown the years until some of their stock had crossed the plains ,nd settled in Oregon and founded J'acific university. '.- From the embarkation of the Pil "jrrimj, who were pictured bidding farewell to friends as they started upon their voyage across the Atlantic :in episode one. until the Spirit of Ed ucation, introduced, asked the audi ence to Join in singing "America" at the close of the picture representing the founding of Pacific university, in 'episode 10. the pageant proved a reve lation of ensemble acting, j The pageant was a play without a hero or a heroine, and disregarded the conventionalities of the theater. The 'characters were many. Including stu jdents from all classes in the univer sity, but every character entered as lan integral part into a mosaic that compelled interest and charmed and Riveted the attention. The very fine performance may be said to have fairly established many students as dramatically gifted and the various Individual talents brought out and the keen enjoyment the per formance produced are more jtkely tluto not to give an impetus toward ao: even larger pageant next year. lire, production is all the more re mSrkable when it is considered that not mare than three weeks have been devoted to rehearsals. Coronation Ceremony Held. "The pageant began at 2 o'clock with the coronation ceremonies of May Wtfeen Miss Evelyn Patton, a charm iit and youthful sovereign. Her at tendants and flower maids formed a colorful and an'mated background during the ceremonies. One of the noteworthy events in the coronation festivities was the reading of the proclamation by Arthur Jones, presi dent of the student body. The proc lamation was a literary gem and Mr. ; Jones' reading enhanced its message. -, The pageant was announced by two onorous-voiced heralds in scarlet Trappings. The prologue represented ; the spirit of religious freedom rescu ing democracy from the tyranny of autocracy. " By turns one illuminating episode -fallowed another. Opening with the , embarkation of the Pilgrims, next came the signing of the compact, .snowing a group of the brave Pilgrims Karoea quaintly ana aanering lo iraa: rvw WJhh& f,i a? : . ft- ft. il v; tn-. . . a -X : . . .

Controversy over the proposed estab lishment of the new Pacific coast naval base at Alameda, Cal., and for suspending Charleston. S. C. navy yard improvements, again stalled the i50,000,000 naval bill in the senate today in a quagmire of debate. No votes were taken, no progress was mad except debate, and the senate adjourned until next Monday with the leaders'ho-ping for passage of the bill early next week. A bi-partisan attack, led by Sen ators Robinson, democrat, Arkansas, and Borah, republican, Idaho, was di rected against the Alameda project. It was contended that the bill's pro visions really contemplated scrapping the Mare Island navy yard, and the expenditure of from J60.000.000 to $100,000,000 for a great general fleet base. Senator Poindexter, republican, Washington, in charge of the bill, contended that merely a small sup ply base was contemplated at pres ent, and that congress could refuse further appropriations for a fleet base. Charleston Yard Defended. The Charleston, S. C. project was the subject of an address by Senator Smith, democrat. South Carolina, who charged sectionalism in naval ap propriations. Urging the senate to reconsider Its recent vote ordering suspension of work on the Charles ton drydock and channel until 1924, he asserted that greatly dispropor tionate expenditures had been made on the 500 miles of Atlantic coast north of Cape Hattoras to tho-2000 miles of coast line to the south. Forces opposing the Alameda pro visions expressed confidence tonight that they wouldt be stricken from the bill, but leaders supporting the committee recommendations appeared as confident of retaining them. Whether Senator Smith's fight for expenditures at the Charleston yard would be fruitful also was in doubt. Republican leaders were said to be considering restoration of some pro vision for Charleston. Robinson Start Attack. Senator Robinson asked the reason for development of the Alameda proj ect, "at a cost of hundreds of mil lions of dollars." and said construc tion of the base would be followed with a demand for a new naval base, and would Indicate abandonment of the Mare Island yard at a not distant date. t Senator Poindexter, republican. Washington, denied that hundreds of millions of dollars would be expended and declared there was no intention of abandoning the Mare Island yard. He said the initial cost would be $1.600, 0-00 for dredging and grading for supply warehouses. He said, however, that as "prpspects are that the entire fleet will, or should spend most of its time In the Pacific." there should be a naval station between San Francisco and Mare Island. Project Called Folly. Senator Robinson Insisted that "It was admitted that behind the amendment, "is the agitation for a great naval base at Alameda cost ing from 60 to 100 million dollars" and cited testimony that the Mare Island yard could be extended at equal or less cost. Senator Swan son, democrat. Virginia, declared the creation at Alameda or any other place of a new navy yard except at Mare Island, "is absolute folly and a sheer waste of money," but said another supply base was needed. The Virginia senator said he could not support a project for a supply base unless a committee should "examine all real estate deals involved." Fi 1ST McXAHVTO GO BEFOIU: M-;N-ATE COMMITTEE.
