BIG AUTO PLANT
Will BE Erected
H. O. Harrison Company Will
Build Finest Structure West
of Chicago
By R. R. L.HoMMEDIEU

H. o. Harrison. the agent for the
Peerless cars, has some very interest
ing announcements to make following
his trip through the east. The journey
is what he calls his annual visit.to the
factories to investigate the condition
of affairs. In speaking of what he OBJ
served. Harrison said yesterday:
when I make these trips 1 go with
a mind thoroughly at rest. l go to
absorb all that see. This year the
trip was made for the express pur-
pose of seeing just what condition
the trade was in. In other words. 1
went to see if the automobile trade
was going to advance or if we are
reaching the high water mark. In New
York, Chicago and Boston 1 found that
agents for motor cars were erecting
buildings costing from 100000 to
100000. Mind you these were not
branch houses but merely men who
are handling motor cars as any other
commercial commodity is handled
This condition showed me conclu-
siveIy that the motor car industry has
assumed position among the leading
Industries of the world. Another thing
that struck me most forcibly was that
the men that were doing this building
were men big in brains and big f1nan-
cially. This will mean that men of this
caliber will absorb all the best agen-
cies.
These men are putting up buildings
that must be considered automobile
plants, for from the stock of parts,
even down to the bodies, they could put
together a complete car of the makes
they handle.
MY observations have resulted in
the members of the II. o. Harrison COM
pany deciding to build in San Francisco
the largest and finest automobile plant
west of Chicago. We are going to do
just what they are doing in the east.
We have secured options on several
sites and by the middle of July will
make our formal announcement. 1t
will take eight months to complete the
building. This will mean that by the
1st of next April the Peerless ears will
be in home that will bear comparison
with anything in the east"

Ing trades council in reference to the
new wage scale of the hod carriers will
be ehective until the meeting Of the
executive board of the state building
trades council in this city, June 20.
The hod carriers can then appeal to this
committee. The main point of conten-
ton is over the demand of the union
That its members should be paid double
time for all work exceeding eight hours.
Ihe custom has been for the hod car
riers to begin three-quarter of an hour
earlier than the brick layers and plas-
terers so that the mortar may be ready.
The present pay of the hod carriers
is "a day. With the extra work the
scale would be $5.05 for the s q hours.
The contractors say that they will pay
$500 day, but that they can not pay
Tor the extra time. The building trades
councils decision supports the hod
carriers demand to the extent of $3.50
day and to make the hours of labor
from 1:40 a. m. to - and from u to 5
p. m. This is an increase of so cents a
day over the present scale and re-
auction of Is minutes in the working
hours
II the executive board of the state
building trades council decides to sup
port the original demands of the hod
carriers the Sacramento council will
also acquiesce.

DECORATION DAY.
Governor Issues Brief and Eloquent
Proclamation,

Governor Stubs TODAY issued his
Memorial day proclamation. the short
est on record. but none the less elo-
quent and reverent on that account.
May 80 is the day set apart for ma
tional Decoration day. The governors
proclamation follows:
Estate of Kansas, Executive Depart
ment.
IN accordance with the patriotic
genius of our country, and in conform
ity with the state law which so beau
tifully expresses it, I, w. r. Stubs.
governor of the state of Kansas. do
hereby proclaim. designate and APP
point Monday, May 80, 1910, as Mem
orial day.
I'm doing so I appeal to the spirit
of the Kansas people who have al
ways shown a marked and wholesome
reverence for the memory of those
who offered their lives for their coun-
try, to froWn upon the unnecessary
performance of secular duties of that
date, and to criticise and severely con-
denim any frivolous diversions that
may distract the public mind from the
solemnities of the occasion.
at seems to me that the object of
the law and the purpose of the legis-
lature was to make Memorial dav a
holy day more than a holiday and with
this personal view governing me 1 ask
and urge the good and grateful citi-
zens of Kansas to meet at some com
mon centers of patriotic worship and
after there making and giving suitable
recognition to the mercy of Almighty
Gcd in saving the Union and preserv-
ing the republic, to go to the graves
of the heroic dead and place upon the
sod which covers them a flag or a
flower in token of our love and in ap-
probation of their service to their
country.

seal of the state in the executive

At Any Rate the Tail of the Comet
Has Passed

Williams Bay, Wis. May 20.-Prof.
F. B. Frost, in charge of the Yerkes
observatory here, expects to make an
observation of Halley's comet in the
west sometime shortly before night.
Although cloudy skies prevented the
making of any positive observations
early today, Prof. Frost and Prof. E.
F. Barnard, the comet expert, agree
there will be no display of the comets
tail in the east tonight. The scientists
say the earth has either passed
through the tail while clouds obscured
the sky or the tail curved TO such al,
extent as to miss the earth entirely.

tunate to get into newspaper con
troVerSy over so small a matter and
particularly so with a man who has so
little regard for the truth as Holman
displays.
ing, 1 knew nothing whatever about it
until 1 was called into Mr.. Holman's
office by Sanitary Sergeant Wander
pool, who told me he needed some
supplies and asked me to get them for
him. He had bid on the work at
that time and gave it to me. He
afterwards brought all the copy, forms.
etc, to my office and I began to get
bids on the work. Holman charges
that I took these forms from his desk.
1.-THE fact of the matter is, that he
has no desk in his office as the one
purchased for his own use has not yet
been delivered. VanderpOol not only
gave me the copy that Holman charges
me with taking from his desk, but he
brought it to me in my office, and I
have every reason to believe that Hol-
man knew I was having the work
done; he, at least. knew that his office
had a bid on the job before it was
given to me for how else could he
know about the IS bid on the chicken
poX cards
whatever Mr.. Holman may say to
the controversy. the undisputed fact
still remains that I saved the city
s7.S5, or more than % per cent on the
job, and I am more interested in that
than anything else. and hope Mr.
