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,

Poindexler Defends $500,000,000
Appropriation Bill Against
Opposing Colleagues.
WASHINGTON. D. C, May 20.
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."
