THE LATEST SPORTING NEWS

made things lively throughout the
night. Headed by the college band ev-
cry student formed at the campus al
5 o'clock and marched and counter
| marched the main streets singing and
cheering. 'f
Nothing was left undone, as the usu-
al custom Of calling on the members
of the faculty was not left out The
first stop was made at the home of
President-elect A. j. Roberts. Dean
Roberts was called out and he was
ready with a few words of praise for
the team. He was cheered to the echo
and spoke. but a few words. Down
Main street went the procession to
the Common and here a short time was
spent in reminding the citizens that
Colby had been victorious. They prob
ably went forget it. Then the boys
went to Silver street and counter
marched Main street in what might
be termed open order They were all
dressed for the occasion and merged
the celebration with the annual night
shirt parade. So if anyone who did not
see them knows how they dress on
such occasions, they have a fair idea
of the manner Of dress last evening.
None of the faculty We're sighted
and those found at home We're ever
ready with a few words.
The celebration was a good one and
reminded the people of former years
when the college could boast of cham
pionship teams. But the victory over
Bowdoin was almost as good as the
championship.

Massachusetts, House
Adopts Railroad Bill
Nine Separate Amendments Are
Made to Original Act.
Senate Will Not Concur Or Ask For
Conference Committee.

Boston, June 10-By a vote of 13s
in the affirmative to IS in the negative
the Massachusetts House of Represen-
tatives late this afternoon ordered to a
third reading the railroad regulation
bill after the adoption of nine separate
amendments, one of which provides
that the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad Co. shall dispose of
all Boston & Maine stock held by it
before July 1, 1910 The amendments
adopted We're opposed by the commit
tee on railroads as to the original draft
as passed by the Senate.
The bill as reported by the commit
tee and passed by the Senate provided
in the main that unless otherwise or
dered by some federal court by juris-
diction, the New York, New Haven &
Hartford may continue to hold until
July l, 1910, the stock of the Boston
& Maine, not exceeding 109,94S shares"
The board Of railroad commissioners
were given the absolute and sole right
of voting this stock.
The amendment adopted today takes
away the right of the commission to
vote the stock and provides for it's dis
posal by the New Haven.
The fight over this bill, which has
lasted tow days in the lower branch
was one of the most spirited contests
ever witnessed in the Massachusetts
Legislature. From the first the House
was about evenly divided and before
the final vote was taken fully SO men,
bers addressed the body pro and con
OF the several amendments adopted
one offered by Rep. N. H. White of
Brookline, providing for the sale of
the Boston & Maine stock, was most
important. Another offered by Rep.
c. H. Brown of Medford embodied the
suggestion of William b. Lawrence, a
minority stakeholder of the Boston &
Maine, and limited the rights of stock
holders in any railroad corporation
from voting more than one tenth part
of the whole capital stock.
With hardly a dissenting voice the
House adopted an amendment prOvid
ing that nothing in the acts should be
construed as in any way abridging.
restricting or preventing the courts of
the state from issuing any order or
process relating to the stock Of the
Boston & Maine or relating to any
violation of the laws committed by the
New Haven in the purchase of this
stock or the stock of any street rail-
way company
Chairman Walker of the committee
on railroads announced after adjourn
ment tonight that an endeavor will
be made tomorrow to reconsider the
action taken today and if possible
strike out the White and Brown
amendments. If this fails it will be re-
turned to the Senate for concurrence
in the amendments.
The upper branch passed the bill as
it came from the committee without
change, and Senate Chairman w. Q.
Faxon announced tonight that under
no consideration would the Senate con-
cur, neither would it ask for a COM
mittee on conference Should the Sen
ate refuse to concur both in tn
amendments or for the conferenc
committee, the bill would die between
the two branches.
