TO That Effect.
Chief Dinan issued an order yester-
day TO company commanders to the
effect that, commencing Sunday. June
10, the watches will be changed to
eight hours and that seniority of SER
vice is to be considered in detailing
officers for day duty.
Since the big fire the men have
been doing twelve-hour watches" said
the Chief" but now that normal con-
ditions again exist in the city and the
men have been performing their re-
spective duties in a most effective and
pratseworthy manner, it is only right
that they should return to the eight
hour watches.
The Chief also issued an order that
the dividing line between District No
/, Captain Duke, and District No s.
Captain Mooney, on and after Sunday
viii be Hyde street instead of Van
Ness avenue. Captain Dukes district
will be between Sansome and Hyde
streets and the bay and Market street;
Captain Moneys between Hyde and
Steiner streets and the bay and Mar
ket street.
Detectives Taylor, Mcmahon and
Freel have been recalled from Ports
mouth square for duty at police head
quarters, as all the refugees have left
the square. Sergeant ]. w Mofitt
with three policemen has been detailed
there to attend to people wanting
permits to clear the debris from their
premises and open their safes.

OWNERS Of PALACE
HOTEL WILL ERECT
TEMPORARY H0STELRY
Sharon Estate Trustees Order
Work Rushed on Two
Story Structure.

Pending the erection of the Palace
Hotel. the representatives of the Sharon
estate will put up a temporary hos
telry2 1t is to be a handsome affair
in every way. One of the principal
ideas in constructing this temporary
building is to keep together the great
force of help connected with the
restaurant department until the new
hotel opens. This includes every cook
and attendant connected with the big
dining rooms and grill in the old Pal
ace
The new structure is to be located
IN a prominent part OF the city, con-
venient to all the car lines. Architect
TroWbridge, who built the st. Regis
Of New York, has already drawn an
outline of the plans for the new build
ing 1t will cover 50vara lot. 1t
will be two stories in height and in
measure will resemble the old Palace.
The great feature of the hotel will
be dining hall 10S feet long by 40
feet wide. This will be so arranged
that IL can also be utilized for ball
room. 1t is to be beautifully decorated
and as artistically finished as is pos
sible to make it Attached to this will
be grill room, conducted the same as
sides these two spacious rooms, there
will be reception room for the ladies
and a oar modelled in the design of
the Original Palace bar. A band will
play in the main dining hall during
the dinner hour, and also from o'clock
until II o'clock in the evening.
In fact, it is the idea of the Sharon
people to conduct this temporary hotel
along exactly the same lines as the
magnificent hostelry of old was con-
Quoted. The crockeryware to be used
will be the sumptuous new service that
was ordered six months ago to be made
in Germany for the use of the old
hotel. 1t was ordered in the most ex-
pensiVe designs and nothing to equal
it has ever been seen in this State. 1t
is already on its way across the At
lantic and will arrive here by the end
of the month. The order for the glass
and silverware was yesterday placed in
New York and will be in keeping with
the crockery-
The upper floor of the building will
be arranged in twenty-five bedrooms
and suites. all to be complete with
every modern convenience. These rooms
are mainly intended for old patrons of
the hotel who have already requested
the Sharon people to care for them un-
til the magnificent structure on the old
site can be built Mr. Kirkpatrick
ready for occupancy in about two and
one-half months.
Bids were received yesterday for the
wrecking of the old Palace, but as the
last bid, which was the sixteenth to
come in, did not arrive until nearly S
o'clock last night, none of them were
opened.

low tariff basis, is only Just begun,
but promises to open the eyes of the
American people to the great losses
they sustain for the sake OF the pro-
tected trusts. The Republican lead
ers have agreed to 'stand pat" and
refuse to revise the tariff and as most
Of the voters, irrespective Of party,
are restive under present trust high
prices, there must be colluslon be-
tween the trust magnates and the Re-,
publican politicians to plunder the,
public and divide the proceeds, or they
would revise the tariff, as the people
evidently desire. The Republicans, It.
Is well known, rely upon trust and
corporation money to run their cam
paigns and in return most of the Re-
publican Congressman and Senators
refuse to reform the trust fostering

organized trades have been able to
force greater advance, but even Il
highest paid workmen have not been
able to get their wages increased to
match the increased cost of living.
If the trusts can be forced to reduce
prices by revising the tariff the cost of
living would fall in proportion and the
workmen could afford to have their
wages cut 1919 per cent, although
some few well organized trades have
been able to force II greater advance,
but even the highest paid workmen
have not been able to get their wages
increased to match the increased cost
to reduce prices by revising the tariff
the cost of living would fall in proper
tion and the workmen could afford to
have their wages cut 1919 per cent,
for they would gain 40 per cent in
the decrease in the cost of living.
pBut those who are employed by the
trusts are small proportion Of the
population, the farmers, the trades
men, the clerks and those with in.
comes that do not increase as trust
prices advance, are all paying 40 per
cent more for all they buy, on the av-
erage, than they did before the Ding
ley high tariff bill! WAS passed by the
Republican party in 1897. SO 90 per
cent or over of the people are taxed
40 per cent on what they buy, which
the trusts mostly appropriate rs their
share of the protection system. The
total revenue to the government from
the tariff tax is S26I, 100000, or n lit
tie over $3 per capita, but under the
protection OF 40 to 200 per cent on
trust products, the corporations indi-
rectly collect about $50 per capita as
their share of the transaction.
The government needs money; It
has been running behind for the past
two years and the Democrats propose
to reduce the tariff duties so that the
United States will buy more goods
abroad and in return foreigners will
buy more of us. That will produce
more revenue and at tho same time
reduce the protection the trusts now
enjoy, so that they will be forced to
reduce the price Of their products to
meet the competition from abroad.
We know the trusts can afford to COM
pete with the foreigners, for they are
now selling many surplus products
abroad after paying freight and other
charges ana the tariff duties which
foreign countries charge on such I'm
portations.
In fact so great has been this Amer
lean trust competition in Germany,
Russia, Brazil and other countries
that those countries named have ad-
vanced their taritf rates so shut out
this competition from the United
States and have also increased the
rates on farm products to protect their
own farmers and ia retaliation fGy our
high tariff rates.

States and nearly all foreign coun-

Railroad LcHisIntiOn,

The House Of Representatives hav-
ing passed the bill to regulate railroad
rates with practical unanimity, the In
terstate Commerce Committee of the
Senate will no longer be able to daily,
along and bubble about what bill
shall be reported. Senator Elkins and
the other railroad Senators will have
to fish or cut bait, for the question
now is yes or no, on the House bill. 1t
may not be perfect, it probably is not,
but 1t contains the principle of the peo-
pie controlling the railroads instead Of
the railroads controlling the govern
ment, and that is step in the right
direction. 1t is to be hoped that any
amendment by the Senate to change
the principle involved, that, when a
rate has been declared unreasonable,
the Interstate Commerce Commission
has power to make a reasonable rate
