Gym Contest ArouSeS

lOPcCiQt DIpdtCH 10 ne 1 oil
OAKLAND. Dec. 1.-THE classes en-
tered in the elementary mass and ap-
paratus contest to be held Wednesday
night in St Mary's college gymnasium
are working hard in preparation for
that event, and today each team spent
half an hour Ia the gym under the
direction of its captain. Interest in
this is growing around the college, and
already the college classmen, the only
noncombatants, are wagering on the
outcome.
The shifting OF the second academic
class from the junior to the first
division has made the result more un-
certain IN this part Of the contest. The
first academic team was looked upon
as a close winner over the banking
class, but the form displayed by the
second academic caused the athletic Of
ficers to make the change.
The second commercial in its prac-
tice today went through some very fast
stunts and will be prepared to make a
hard fight for the championship Of the
junior division.
Before the gym contest is started the
swimming contests which are neces-
sary in order to safeguard the SWIM
mers IN the tank will be gone through
with. but also in the form of a contest
Races, diving and fancy swimming will
determine the points.

England May Play U. S.
Again at Tennis

LONDON, Dec 12.-The English lawn
tennis association, at its annual meet
ing today, referred to the international
committee the proposal of the council
that in view of the difficulty Of secur-
ing a team to make the trip to Aus
tralia or New Zealand, the time had ar
rived to resume negotiations for an
annual international match with Amer
lea, quite distinct from the Davis cup
competition and to be played in Eng
land and the United States alternately.
The idea met with unanimous approval,
the only stipulation suggested being
that the match should not clash with
the Davis cup contest. The suggestion
that the amateur status of tennis play
ers be defined by the association also
was referred to the committee.

AMERICAN Hen SOLDERING
Supply of Eggs Said to Be Very
Short in Chicago.
Storage Houses There Contain JO,-
OOO, 900 Dozen Which Would
supply City Ten Days.

Commission men Of Chicago who make
a speciality Of eggs doubt the statement
made in Jersey city that there are g.
000oo0 held in one storage house there,
incidentally throwing additional light on
the high living question.
Chicago egg dealers say there are
usually more eggs in storage in this city
than anywhere else In the country, and
they can find only 5000 OO0 In all the cold
storage houses here This Is a sufficient
number 20 keep the city supplied not
longer than ten days and IT is an indica-
ton Of how the American hen has been
soldering
There are approximately 5000 cases in
cold storage. containing thirty dozens, or
$50 eggs each. The average daily de-
mand in Chicago for fresh and storage
eggs combined IS 1900 cases. When the
supply Of fresh eggs IS slack the demand
for the storage variety increases and
vice versa Commission men insist that
there Is more money IN handling fresh
eggs than those IN storage, and that II
the price continues to remain around the
40-cent mark the hen should be blamed.
Eggs purchased in the summer and fall
are figured 10 cost the Chicago dealer p
cents dozen by the time they reach
the city. With storage charges, the cost
Of Gambling and the losses through break
age. &C, added. the total actual cost IS
about % cents per dozen. This mean that
the consumer must pay from Is to 30 cents
per dozen.
If the hens should suddenly become en-
ergeuc and big supply Of fresh eggs
should he dumped upon the market, the
result would be that fresh eggs would
sell at a lower figure than the actual cost
Of the storage variety. Practically all Of
the eggs in cold storage are owned by
Western shippers and producers. and are
put In storage at a time when the supply
OF fresh eggs is so large all OF It cannot
be sold.

RAILROADS DENY COMPLETELY

Issue Statement to show that TIT
Cost of Transportation Has Not
Increased.

New York. Feb. 19--The representatives,
Of the Eastern railroads issued the fol-
lowing statement. on behalf Of the rail-
roads to-day:
at a time when active efforts are be-
ing made to fix the responsibility for
higher prices. it should be made plain
that the railroads have not in any way
been responsible for the increase in the
cost of living. They have been the VIC
tins Of high prices without benefttlng
from them at all
This statement is not one Of opinion
il IS one Of fact. supported by the official
figures Of the United states government.
II beef. Or pork or flour. or any other
commodity costs more nov than Il cost

cent OF the increase can be charged 10
transportation.
THE figures gathered by the Interstate
Commerce Commission show that the level
Of freight rates has declined steadily. In
1897 it cost a little less than four-ffths
Of a cent to ship a ton Of freight one
mile: eleven years later, 1865, the ton-mlle
rate was still lower. being about three
quarters OF a cent.

been $243.556 407 greater than they actually

while rates have declined. the price
Of everything that a railroad buys has
advanced. so that the net earnings are
cut into from both ends. Periodical ad-
vances in wages have brought about a
large increase in the cost Of labor. The
total cost of fuel for the country's rail-
roads was 2OS per cent greater in 1907 than
in 1897, though freight traffic increased
only AS per cent and passenger traffic
only 126 per cent.
Railroads are heavy purchasers of
everything on the market from steel to
butter, and no corporation or individual
is more affected by rise in price than a
railroad company. A few specimen in
creases since 1897, in the prices of things
the companies have TO buy. are as follows:
Lead pipe, So per cent: yellow pine s. net
cent; hemlock. 102 per cent; window glass,
