OAKLAND C0L0RS
LOWERED BY K. 0. G.
Cumberland Boys Take Across Cage
men ofthe Glades in Exciting Contest.

X. .. g., Cumberland, last year sama-
ture basketball champions of Western
Maryland, played in old form last even
ing and defeated the Oakland Collegians
by the score of % to 20. The game
was fast and furious, and marked by
considerable rough playing on both
sides.
In the first half the K. o. G. only
allowed the Oakland players to make
one field goal and four fouls, the score
ending II to 6. In the last half the
champs played on the defensive and
Oakland was only able to toss two field
goals. Boyle tossed the only goals that
were made by his team. The goal shoot
ing of Macfarlane in the first half was
sensational. Piper and Ward also play
ed well for the K o. G., while Sanner
and Boyle starred for Oakland. Oak
land was handicapped by the absence of
one of their regular forwards. Brownie
Lands, one of the K. 0. G. regular
guards was not in the lineup on ac-
count of illness.
The victory over the Oakland Col
legians on their home floor can be
counted as great win for the Cum
berland quint as the Oakland team has
defeated some of the best teams in
Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Vir-
GINA this year. They defeated the
HollidaYsburg Y. NJ. C. A. team at
Oakland and are the only team from
around this section that defeated the
Homecoming team on the latter's floor.

WATER POWER BILL
 PASSED BY SENATE
 AFTER LONG DEBATE
Efforts of Conservation Champions to Amend Measure Without Avail. Provides for Development of
 Water Power by Private Capital

Washington, March S.--The Senate to-
 night after four weeks of debate passed the Shields bill to provide for develop
 ment of water power in navigable waters by private capital. The vote was 46 to z. Conservation champions fought hard to amend the measure, but without avail. I Several senators voted for the bill who
 had opposed it during the debate. One
 of them, Senator Walsh, said he consid- ] cred it bad legislation, but firmly be- reached the House.
 Those who voted against the bill were l Senators Ashurst. Borah, Chamberlain, l Chiffon, Cummins, Gronna, Hollis, Hust- ing, James, Kenyon, LaFollette, Lane,
 Lea, Lee, Lewis, Maritime, Newlands,
 Norris, Poindexter, Reed, Sheppard and Works.
 l A final effort to prevent vote on the measure and return it to the com l mittee was made by Senator Husting, whose motion to recommlt was beaten
 49 to 19. An amendment by Senator Chil-
 ton requiring the Secretary of War to
 decide contests for permits to build dams ] in favor of the applicant offering the | lowest priced service to the public was defeated, 30 to 21
 Senator Reed attacked the provision of
 the bill. which provides that contests be
 decided in favor of the applicant able to guarantee the best construction, declar- l ing that this would result ill the best sites going to the interests now operat- 1 ing power plants. He declared the meas ure would grant corporations absolute
 control of the country's water power l for long time.
 "At the end of the 50 years in the
 grant, Senator Reed said, the govern
 ment can enjoy the blessed privilege of
 taking over the plants and paying for
 them the full value. believe that back

 Colonel Churchil's demand for the re- instatement of Lord Fisher, with whom he quarreled over the Dardanelles expe- dition when the latter was first sea lord, was complete surprise. Newspaper com ment indicates that Colonel Churchill has not improved his popularity by his speech
 The most striking speech in the Com mons debate was made by Admiral Sir Henry, Hedgeworth Meaux. Admiral Meaux is considered the spokesman of the navy in the House. In declaring that there would be consternation through out the navy if the government was fool ish enough to bring Lord Fisher back, Admiral Meux said;
