to say of the proposed new whole

seeking wholesale connections. The
new corporation will be connected
with manufacturers who handle only
the best that is to be had in the cleo
trical and plumbing lines. They have
been working on this plan for the
past few months and considering the
advisability Of starting a wholesale
establishment in this locality and
came to the decision that this terri
tory offers a virgin field for a real
live and progressive store, which the
concern will undoubtedly be. They
already enjoy small wholesale busi-
ness, but with the new corporation
they will be able to compete with the
largest concerns. They will not give
up their retail business but will run
it in the same efficient manner that
has made it an amazing success in the
past.

January. This building will be util-

have the most modern fixtures. They
will have three or four small rooms
and show rooms. A most complete
line Of electrical and plumbing fix
lures will be handled for both whole
sale and retail-purposes.
"A warehouse of sufficient size will
be built on the spur ad Joining the Ce-
ment Block Factory Itt is also learn
ed that this concern will also handle
a complete line Of gas appliances and
fixtures and will cater to this line as
well as the electrical and plumbing
end.

soldiers in France sentenced to death
on conviction of sleeping on post or
disobedience of orders be executed.
All four were pardoned by President
Wilson. but General Crowder dec AIRED
General March had refused to concur
in recommendations for clemency made
by Secretary Baker and himself.
General Crowder was answering the
charge made by Samuel T. Ansell, for
mer judge advocate general, that 9Th g
whole military hierarchy entered into
an agreement that these men should
die" He denied having said that the
War Department should uphold Gen
eral Pershing, who approved the SEN
tences, "regard.ess of merit" but ad-
mitted having transmitted to General
March a recommendation favoring exc
cution OF the sentences, subject to ap-
peal TO the President. General Crowdcr
