I Carlton, presidcn' of Union Telegraph com pany, that Edward Reynolds, former ly manager or the Postal Telegraph Cable company, had attempted to make government operation of the telegraph system a failure, and at alternate defense of an attack upoi Postmaster General- Uurleson, were features of today's hearings, before the senate commerce committee on legislation for, return of the- lele1 phone and telegraph properties. Mr.. Carlton ; told . the committee that Mr. Reynolds' at tha request of Mr. Burieson; worked out a plan for coordination of the wires, but at th? same time eent letters to officials of the Postal company "asking them to make government operation a fail ure." Mr. Reynolds - subsequently was relieved of his duties a3 general manager by the postmaster general. - llurlrwn Defended - Operation of the wire systems un der the direction of.

TAKES HOLD AXD HELPS Informs the commissions that bill will be introduced into congress to extend the power of the interstate commerce commission over wire sys tems. "As the law now stands," he says "the wires are made common' car riers, but the commission . has no control over them. They do not file their tariffs with the federal com mission. We must see' that a pro per measure of local control is pre served in the bills. I will keep you informed as to developments.'

Buleson's Remedial Legisla tion Plan Opposed by Mr. Elmquist Public service commission of the country are being lined up by Charles E. Elmquist, general solici tor for the National Association of Railway and Utility Comrnissioners, to make a fight against remedial leg islation which Postmaster Burleson believes should accompany return of the telephone and telegraph systems to private control. Mr. Elmquist has sent a letter to the commissions urg4 ing as important that they protest to their delegations n congress against, remedial legislation which representatives of some of the com panies assert is necessary as a safe guard for rates and to forestall bankruptcy and demoralization. I "This point will be. strongly urged before the committee," says Mr; Elmqulst's letter. "It Is clear that the discussion of remedial legislation in connection with the return bill would postpone final action for a long time, and it is even possible that this special session of congress would not have time to give thorough consideration to the problem." j Urging the protest to congress, llr Elmquists says: ' "It conditions in your state will Justify the statement, it will be well to indicate that telephone and tele graph companies have not suffered in their, revenues and by the action of state commissions, and that the fear that bankruptcy will follow the Return without remedial legislation safeguarding rates Is entirely groundless."

Everything Is rapidly taking shape for the historical pageant to be given ext Saturdav evening. Monday, af ternoon, and Tuesday evening' on the campus of Vilamette university, in commemoration pf the 7".th anniver sary of the university. Thcr Is ev- ery indication that it will . be the greatest celebration o' Its kind ever staged ' in the west. The rehearsals' pJready'had reveal beauty and an effectiveness that was undreamed of Prof. Delia Crowder Milter .who wrote the pageant, has woven around the city, and state a stor7. that lose in no detail the spirit that went to inspire the early pioneer? In their tremendous undertakings, logue is, of course. Introductory t The pageant consist of a prologue and three parts. The prologue is of course introductory to the real his tory, and is largely depicted In pan tomime. The three parts are under the classification of "The Begin ning," "Yesterday." and "Today." The beginning reveals -the pioneer history of Oregon from 1S34 to 1840 and will consume about ojie-half of the time of the entire pageant. The educational and historical value have been a big consideration of the author, and while It has to do with the early history of the universitv it Is also the history of Oregon and the whole northwest. . . Pioneers Llvo Again Some of the most beautiful of the early- scenes will show the pioneers in their normal everyday life, and will reveal theirhumanness. They will seemingly live again. There will be a simple dignity, humor, and threat of 'pathos. One scene: In which the latter element will be pre eminent will be the oue In which the Indians so determinedly, strug gled to secure the "White Man Book." . All interested In the , nistory of the university will have presented to them in an emphatic manner that the promoters of the institution were equally interested in everything that had to do with the state aiui-normal growth. "Yesterday", deals with the pro visional government; the building of the old and the new Orecon insti tute: the founding of Salem: theJ first Methodist church; the floods of immigration; the; savin? of th'f section of the United States: soldiers of '61; building of Walter Hall; the beginning of the different schools end departments in connection with the university; building of Science hall; building the Theological build ing; building of Eaton hall. "Today" reveals the university a? it Is covering a peiod of three years. It gives a prominent place to th? noyss who answered their country's 'nil: it pictures the busy' lifel .f the girls in the Red Cross work, and life of . the students at large in their generous response to all appeals o' a patriotic character. '" Dramatic Construction Superb The. final scene will bring nearly 500. characters in an ensemble re view, rather than in a marching re view, as is customary, at similar af fairs. This vast number will form a chorus, that will be Jieard with band and orchestra! accompaniment.
