Washington, Nov. 6.-President
Wilson is understood to have no
intention of pardoning Eugene V.
Debs, who is serving lO-year
sentence in the federal peniten-
tiary at Atlanta for violation OF the
espionage act.
The position taken by the prcsi-
dent, according to those who pro-
fess to know his views, is that
executive clcmency i'll such case
would set bad precedent and
would encourage others to oppose
the government in event OF an

VELVET MILL BUYS INSTEAD OF BUILDING

Upon the return here Saturday from New York of Superintendent Jacob Munz of the J. B. Martin Co.,, velvet mill at Taftville it became known that the Mar tin Co had closed a deal for the pur- chase of the Marlin Rockwell corpora ton plant fronting on Franklin, Willow and Chestnut streets.
 The purchase price for the property was not stated In the last grand list of the town the Marlin-Rocl6wen Corporation was assessed on this property for S213,-
 800.
 Superintendent Munz stated Sunday ev-
 ening that the deal was closed Friday in New York at the offices of the Standard Steel & Bearings, Inc, of which the Mar lin-RockweIl of Norwich is one of the constituent parts. Superintendent Munz went to New York Thursday night, ac-
 companied by Mayor J. J. Desmond. The officers of the Martin Go. met the officers of Standard Steel and Bearings, Inc. of which former Internal Revenue Commits sioner Daniel c. Roper is president, and | the deal was closed Friday afternoon. Superintendent Munz said that it would probably be two months before the Martin O. would take possession as there 1 is much machinery to be moved out of 1 the Marlin-Rockwell factory. The new addition to the factory which was buiB | on Crestnut street is practically cleared l of the firearms machinery which the l Marlin-Rockwe1 corporation used, but the | old Hopkins & Allen section of the plant 1 is still full of machinery that has been sold in small lots to individual buyers

SUGAR PRICE OF soc
 SEEMS LIKELIHOOD HERE

According to information given out on Sunday evening there is every prospect that sugar within the next few days will be selling for 25 cents to 30 cents pound unless a very large shipment is received in this city. The prospect of such a shipment is very slight for on Saturday a local wholesaler was informed by the representative of the refineries .that no more sugar would be shipped ln- Ito Norwich for some time and that the only way sugar could be procured would be to send trucks from this city to the refinery in Brooklyn
 This method, upon investigation, shows that in order to do this it will mean an added cost of S2 per hundred pounds to get sugar to Norwich and would mean an increase of several cents a pound to the consumer. At the refinery it is re- ported that there is plenty of sugar but that it is practically impossible to trans port it owing to strikes. A line of trucks a mile long can be seen in front of the refinery every day waiting for consignment of sugar, some of these trucks coming from places as far distant as Buffalo. Another difficulty is that only union truck drivers will be allowed to drive the trucks that go to the ware | houses. An order must be procured | rom the Sdl6SIlldIi NllO COIA1SS lO @NOi wich this has to be endorsed at the New York office and then comes the wait ir 1 line before the sugar can be loaded This may mean a delay of day ol 1 two, which all adds to the expense o1 the sugar
 Boston is out of the question as z source of supply as Norwich is in the
 New York district and cannot get sugal | from the Boston district. The who'll sugar shortage at present is due to thu
 strikes in New York and on the rail roads.
 Not only is there a sugar shortage bu the potato supply is running low an the prices are gradually creeping sky
 war Seed potatoes are way out of sight
 bringing prices that exceed all record while potatoes for consumption ar
 beyond az previous records. These pc
 tatoes are bringing as high as six dollar
 a. busheI, retail. Here again the trans
 portation facilities are to blame but tn bad potap year last summer is part ly to blame.

Our Growing Sugar Imports.

With sugar prices the highest ever" the quantity being brought into the United States is the biggest ever" Off, cial figures of the movements of sugar into the United States, including that iron. ,cs Own islands says statement by The National City Bank of New York. indicate that the quantity entering the country in the fiscal year 1920, which ends with June, will apparently approxi- mate 9,000,000,000 pounds, as against 7,750, 0,000,000 in the former high record year-the fiscal year 1919 The valua- tion of the 1920 imports will however. far exceed that of 1919 or any earlier year, and may reach S700. 1000, ,000 against S433OO0.000 in the fiscal year 1919, (these figures including the sugar from our own islands, which are not us!ssly included in the import" figufes).
 This enormous increase in the value of the sugar entering continental United States in the current fiscal year is due in part to larger quantities but especial y to the extremely high prices of sugar in the countries from which it is import ed. The official figures of the United States government show the average value per pound of the suAr imported | from foreign countries in February 1920 | (the latest month for which figures are available) at 9.44 cents per pound and l 1902 cents in January as against 5.3r | cents per pound in February 1919 4.t cents in February 1918. 3.S1 cents ir | February 1917. and an average of just l cents per pound in the fiscal year ir1rne l diately preceding the war. The iTnpor | price for foreign sugar in January f92i
 was therefore just five times as much pe tpound as in the fiscal year preceding tn
 war, and these valuations of the mer | chandise imported are. by law, "the act 1 ual market value at wholesale price a | the time of eXportation to the Unite,
 States in the principal markets of tn
 country from whence exported" or tn

 Superintendent Munz said Sunday night that he could not tell yet just how the Marlin-Rockwell property would be used by the velvet mill. 1t might be pos sible that they would find they had more room than they needed and some parts of their new purchase, in, that event, might be rented to other industries. The
 Gorcon building at the corner of Chest nut and Willow streets, which the Mar | tin Co., owns and where it is already op- erating a section of it's industry is crowded beyond it's capacity now and part of the work that is done there can | be moved into the new plant. One, of I the things that is likely to delay the 1 beginning of operations will be the re-
 ceipt of new machinery, as the velvet company is only just now receiving looms | that were ordered a year ago . The purchase of the Marlin Rockwell plant will not in any way affect the oth- j, CT plants of the Martin Co.,. which has i large velvet mills in Lyons, France. an/ | CIearfeld, Pa. as well as the PeGuo
 mills in Uncasville. the Taftville plan
 and the recently purchased GordoI building on Willow street. All of thes' will be operated regardless of the new

William c. Walker, William Ca- ruthers, and Daniel F. McNeil were the other employees. During his service he has seen the post office force grow from five to over 80 and has served under five different postmasters.
 MT. Wells was first a regular carrier but about twenty-five years ago he was appointed to a clerkship and today has charge of the city and rural carriers.
