STATION MAY RISE
ON PALACE SITE.
Southern Pacific Said to
Have Made Offer to
the Sharon Estate
LOOKSN FOR LAND

|. Since his arrival here Julius Krutt-
schnitt has given his main attention to
looking over sites here that would an
swer the purpose of the Southern Pa
cific Company for grand depot build
ing.
Exactly where the site will be has
not been determined. 1t is well known
that the engineers of the company
have been looking over the Sharon
properties, thinking some of these may
be desirable for location. The Sharon
estate includes the famous old Palace,
the Grand Hotel and other lesser prop
critics in their vicinity. This land suits
the purposes of the company.
That the Southern Pacific intends to
put up magnificent depot. somewhere,
near the center of San Francisco, there
is no doubt. Now comes the question
of desirable place on which to put it.
The first selection was the site where
the ruins of the City Hall now stand.
Here the company found exactly what
suited 1t and it had no doubt but that
it could arrange to put up its building
there. Legal difficulties make this
project impossible, however.
Now the fourth vice president of the
Southern Pacific Company has come
here to take the question up himself.
Early yesterday morning Krutt-
schnitt drove over the city and made a
complete examination Of the situation,
and before his return to Chicago he
hopes to have the matter settled. 1t
is reported that the Sharons are still
anxious to put up another Palace
Hotel on the old site, and that they are
10th to have the property go out Of
their hands, but when they receive an
offer of such magnitude as is reported
to have been made by the Southern
Pacific it naturally makes the Sharon
people stop and think.
In the meantime Mr.. Kruttschnitt is
spending Sunday at Burlingame as the
guest of Henry T. Scott. His return
East is indefinite.
Besides looking into the question OF
the new depot here, Kruttschnitt is
making a general tour of inspection.

lcitated him on his well-earned honor.

utes, the general. Major Dreyfus and
the army officials retiring amid the
dipping OF flags and a roll of drums.
The decoration of the major assumed
the aspect Of a notable demonstration.
His brother officers who were prom
inent figures in various stages of the
controversy were among the spectators.
and outside the circle of troops stood
Nine. Dreyfus and the little son OF
Dreyfus.
1rumpeters in the courtyard sounded
four calls. announcing the ceremony.

SPECIAL DISPATCH To THE CALL.
VALLEJO, July 21.-Union labor men
Of this city are greatly interested in
the dispatch printed Friday on the La
Dor Page of The Call announcing that
in the future eight hours will consti-
tute a full days work in all work done
for the Government. This is regarded
as a great victsry by those who favor
the building of ships in Government
navy yards, in many OF the ship
building plants in the East the long
hours enforced by contractors have
given them an advantage and done
much to belittle the efforts of the
unions of this country to prevail upon
the Federal Government to maintain
well equipped shipbuilding plants at all
important points in the country.
With an eight-hour day 1t is believed
that the Mare Island navy yard, which
now leads all Government shipbuilding
plants in economy, will become one of
the greatest shipbuilding establish
ments in the world. California work
men, particularly those who make
their homes in San Francisco and vi
entity, Will reap a great reward from
the eight-hour ruling.
