Portland, Me, Sept 29.--In connec
tion with the report that Shiloh is t.
be abandoned as the headquarters
the Holy Ghost and Us Society an(
the property converted into cash, it is
recalled that less than a year ago i;
was understood Frank w. Sanford
leader of the society, had purchased
large sugar plantation in or neal
South America and intended estab-
fishing big colony there. At the
time, this report was called to Mr.
Sandfords attention and while he di,
not affirm it he did say that the pub,
lication of the report might interfere
with the purchase of additional land
1t is believed the Shilohites will be
taken to this plantation.
There is good authority for believ-
ing that Mr.. Sandford is on board tn.
large yacht Coronet and has beer
there for several months. or since
leaving South Freeport, but the where.
abouts of the Coronet is a mystery.
