Portland, Or, July 25.--United States
District Judge Robert s, Bean today is.

subpoenas on tho defendants in the suit
instituted by the government yester.
day to compel the American Telephone
and Telegraph company to dissolve its
connection with the Northwestern Tele-

companies, thus re.establishing as far
as possible competitive conditions in
the telephone field.
H. T. Scott, chairman Of the execu.

81 cannot see that we have done
anything that we ought not to have
done. There is nothing to the suit. The
Northwestern Long Distance Telephone
company is still in the hands Of re-.
ceiver. We have not bought it although
II is true that we purchased some Of its
stock and bonds after it won't into a

"If the service has been poor we
have not been troubled with complaints
and know nothing about criticism.
Speaking Of complaints anyway every
public service company has them. The
question is, are they Justified.
"If the government finds that we
have done something we should not
have done, it can make US undo IT,"
Scott would make no comment on the
reported suggestion Of the government
attorneys that the defense Of the tele.
phone companies would be that the tele.

about 0 o'clock when the shaft Of the
rig dropped down on the horses heels
and started him to running when with

Union street which is now being paved.
Spectators held their breath when the
outfit approached Union street. That
thoroughfare is being paved and piles
Of railroad ties are stationed about the
intersection to guard Off vehicles and
people from using the freshly.laid pave
ment. Tho rig passed over this dan
gerous point safely but disaster looked
inevitable owing to several big maple
trees and the sidewalk being directly
in their path. The horse, however,
jumped the sidewalk, missed the trees
by small margin and then ran across
the street into the front yard Of resi-
dence when he was caught.
The driver Of the rig did not make
an attempt to jump even when his life
was in great danger, Ho stayed with
the wagon until the horse stopped and
was injured The horse was badly
bruised about the hind logs, but the
wagon suffered no material damage.
