BIG GROCERY TRUST.
One to Include All Wholesalers
Is Being Formed.

ST Louis, Oct 1.-THE Interstate
Grocer says today that a combine to
include every wholesaler of groceries in
the United States is in the course of
forTna ton. That paper says:
The details of the great plan are not
yet public property. They will not be
until after November 5 next, when the
initial steps toward forming the cornbi-
nation viii be taken in Detroit. George
d Hanford, of New York city, is engi-
neering the deal. In few days the
entire wholesale grocery trade of the
United States will receive invitations to
this meeting. Already a large number
of the leading wholesale groceries in the
east have been personally seen by Mr..
Hanford or his representatives and
nearly all of them have expressed a
willingness to be present.
An outline of the plan follows:
1t is proposed to take over the busi-
ness of the entire line of wholesale gro
GERS in the United States. One great
buy outright the business and good will
of all the firms. A central office for the
accommodation of the officers of the
company will be determined. probably
in New York. This central office will, on
all of the leading grocery products, do
the buying for all the houses in the COR
poration. 1t is not proDOsed that the
company will go into the manufacture
ing of grocery products but rather that
the business between the large manu-
facturers and the company will be
through one general Office. 1t is expect
ed that this viii enable the company to
buy in such large quantities as to great
ly reduce the GrSt cost of the goods.

Kent absconded a year ago and he
was found to be about $S 500 short in
his accounts. No criminal proceedings
were commenced against nim for the
reason that he could not be found. The
grand lodge, however, brought an &C
ton against the surety company which
went on his bond. This case will be
dismissed and Kent will be allowed to
return to the state with the under
standing that he viii not be prosecuted.
Kent is in Costa Rica, where there is
no eStFadition treaty. His wife ar
rived in Topeka Friday nd arranged the
settlement with the grand lodge and
the surety company. The grand lodge
will receive the S0-acre farm in Reno
county which has on it an orchard of IS
acres. The property is estimated to be
worth between Sc. .0a0 ard $1,000. After
Kent was found to be an embezzler sew
eral horses he owned were sold and the
lodge realized about 81 900 from the sale.
The horses were in Illinois following the
race meets.
Soon after Kent disappeared Mrs.
Kent vas taken seriously ill and was
in a PercSriouS condition for some time.
After she recovered she went 0 Hutch
inSon to- live and has made her home
there since. 1t is understood that Kent
will return to Hutchinson now that he
is not in danger of prosecution
1t was September "a. 1901 that Kent
was reported gone. Then it was fCIad
that the deficit he left covered a period
of two years. It was found that at the
end of the fiscal year of 1900 that
81 ,57931 was kept on hand while it was
usual for the secretary to turn over all
money.
Kent was first elected secretary in
1896 and when he absconded he was en-
tering upon his sixth term of office. He
got into the horse racing business and
for a time kept a stable of hroses at the
fair grounds. The stable caught fire
one night and was destroyed and Kent
collected over $1,000 insurance on it. He
kept as many as sixteen horses which
were of the kind that lose money for
their owners instead of making it.
Kent disappeared from Topeka, two
weeks before the shortage was found,
and went to Chicago. Kent's bond given
through the New York Surety COM
pany amounted to $4,000. The Surety
company put secret service agents on
his track but it seems Kent was not
found. Grand Treasurer L. G. Beal dis
covered the defalcation.

NEXT TO SANTA FE.
Southern Pacific to Have Big Frisco
Terminal.

San Francisco, Oct 1.-THE Southern
Pacific is to have a big freight terminal
at Point Richmond, adjacent to the
end of the Santa Fe railroad and to the
extensive plant which the Standard Oil
people are rapidly completing. Word
has been received. from New York, says
the Examiner, that after comforting
with General Manager Kruttschnitt on
the project. President Hartman has
given it his approval
The terminal will be connected with
the Southern Pacific main line by the
construction of a branch line from San
Pablo. The new terminal is ten miles
by rail from the company's West Oak
land freight yards which have become
too small for the traffic. A branch sys-
tenn of shops will be erected at the new
terminal.
AS near as can be ascertained ships
to and from the Orient viii load and
unload eastern freight at the terminal
and all through freight from the east,
the northern states and the Sacramento
valley will be handled here.

SHELTER TO REOPEN.
A. r. Meyer Says Argentine Plant
Will Be Started.

Kansas City. Mo, Oct. IA R. Meyer,
a member of the board of directors of the
American Smelling & Refining company,
is quoted as saying that it is only ques-
tion of a few months time till the Argen-
tine smelter. which dismantled a
year ago, will be reopened and operated.
The plant, he says. is considered by the
company, one of its most valuable proper
ties, and one which could hardly be aban-
doRed permanently. No more dismantliDg
will be done at the snelter, he says. Mr.
Meyer has just returned from Leadville,
Col. where he. has mining interests.
The Arge.1tine smelter was closed
down." said Mr.. Meyer. ''because the
American Smelling company has an ex-
cess of refining capacity The plant has
possibly the best location of any the COM
pany owns, and will not be abandoned.
The business of the company is picking up
again rapidly and this means that the
Argentine snelter will soon be in opera
ton again. 7 feel sure that it will be
running again within y months. or SO,
