ELAY CAUSES MUCH ERPENSE Oceanic Company Suffers Loss From Slow Work of Cramps. h CROSS-COUNTRY RUNNERS ARE READY TO CONTEST Three Teams Will Compete for a ‘Handsome Trophy on Wash- ington’s Birthday. Everything is in readiness for the eross country champlonship race which is to be ircugurated to-morrow orning. The officials have been chosen, the teams are trained to the minute and the course has heen laid out to a nicety. The race will be run over a course in Golden Gate Park. It wili start at the Baker-street entrance of the park at 11 o'clock and the contest- ants will finish about 300 yards from the start. A handsome silver trophy has been offered and_the winning team will have the honor of holding it for one year. The cup must be won three times before it can become the property of the victors. Three teams will contest for the trophy. The Oakland High School will enter ‘a strong aggregation. Stanford University will send up her strong runners and the Olympic Club will put forth her best athletes. The teams are made up as fol- Tows: Oakland High—Westdahl, La Vallers, Luna: Reffired, Clough and Sullivan (substitute)! Colors, blue shirts. Stanford — Schokke, Hamilton, Taylor and Thomas Colors, red shirts. Olympic Club—Smith, Stone, Garcla, Killan, Taylor and Lamont (substitute). In Westdahl Oakland has a strong long- distance man. He is a midget, but the way he can cover distances is a wonder to all beholders. He is very likely to be in the forefront at the finish. The Stanford athletes have been training faithfully for the contest and expect to take the trophy back to Palo Alto. Smith of the Olympic Club is an old Stanford miler and is like- 1y to prove a dangerous competitor. Stone and Garcia are worthy to wear the local club colors. They are fast and gritty runners. The committee in charge of the race is composed of George James, Herbert Hauser and John Elliott. Ten men, mar- shaled by “Jack” Hobson, will line the course and flag all along the route.

Yesterday the stock of the Oceanic Steamship Company declined several points. The cause of the depression was an assessment of ten dollars per share, which was levied in order to provide means for meeting interest obligations on the bonds of the corporation. By the failure of the Cramps of Phila- delphia to complete, according to agree- ment, the three new steamships, Sferra, Ventura and Sonoma, the Oceanic Steam- <hip Company was forced to incur heavy expense In the employment of other ves- sels to maintain its obligations to carry the malils pursuant to contract schedule. The company was also deprived of the earnings of the three new ships for a pe- rlod exceeding eight months. It is claimed by Cramp & Sons that the delay in completing the ships was caused by labor strikes, the pressure of work un- dertaken for the Russian Government and also by a prolonged term of unfavorable Weather, the heat being so oppressive that the men employed at the yai could K.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.—It was ascertain- ed to Jay that the Salt Lake and Saltair Railroad, fifteen miles long, one terminus of which ends in a sand heap, was re- cently sold to Unitcd States’ Senator Kearns of Utah. He did not want the road, put bought it to relieve the Mor- mon church of an incumbrance. Recent- 1y, however, the Burlington people have been negotiating for its purchase, and it is believed that, if seld, the Burlington road will use it as its terminal at Salt Lake City and extend it to Los Angeles. This is not the first time the road has been trotted forward as a possible rival of the great systems of the Southwest. Some time ago It was said that Mr. Hun- tington would extend the line to a con- nection h the Southern Pacifle, but this was regarded as aimed at the Union Pacifie. Later it was still reported United States Senator C!arkm;ud de‘t’;%f mined to utilize it. A call has been issued for a special meeting of the sharehoiders of the Union Pacific Railroad in Salt Lake City on March 23 for the purpose of considering an increase of the cabital stock of the company. A propasition will be submitted by the directors for the issue of $100,000,- 000 of new common stock in connection with the proposed issue of $100,000000 of 4 per cent bonds. he shareholders will also be asked to finally approve this pond issue and rati the acts of the directory in the aequis tion of new properties and all financial matters pertaining thereto. For the pur- pose of this meeting, as well as for the purposes of the dividends already de- clared, the stock transfer books will close on February 23 and reopen March 25. The proposed increase of the eapital stock of the Union Pacific will make the entire capitalization of the company $295 - 178,700, of which $100,000,000 is preferred stocl A large part of the new capitali- zation will doubtless ultimately cover tne cost of the recently acquired controlling interest of the Southern Pacific Rallroad. ‘World to End This Year.
