who had been drinking heavily, killed

The coroner's inquest which took a
recess yesterday when the announce
ment was made that Rumbaugh had
shot himself, re-convened at 9:10 this
morning. Miss Lettie Green, a nurse,
was the first witness called to. the
stand this morning. Miss Green testi-
fed that G. A, Corey, wealthy auto
mobile dealer of Chicago, mad sent
several kilograms since the tragedy,
one of which read: tfWill meet you
at the train. Forward letters. Keep
your own counsel"
The witness admitted receiving
$345 from Corey yesterday. Miss
Green testified that Rumbaugh on
Monday told her that he and Laura
had been driving in a closed carriage
Friday, and that after Laura had dis
closed ner relations with Corey sne
suddenly drew a revolver and attemp-
ted to shoot herself. Rumbaugh said
he wrested the pistol from her Rum
baugh also told Miss Green that he
and Laura had determined to marry
and go abroad. Rumbaugh has engag-
ed a section in a Pullman for himself

to leave for New York Monday. The

identifying a large bundle of letters
written by Corey to Laura, she was
excused. These letters were made pub

ternoon he overheard a telephone
conversation between a man and Miss
Matthews He cut in on the wire just
as the conversation ended, but over
heard the man say: xiii you from

CAN MINISTER LIVE
ON z CENTS A DAY?
Governor Hanly Asks Meth
odist Conference Some
Pointed Questions.
URGES LIBERAL PENSIONS
Takes Up Cause of the Superannuated
Preacher-Campaign May
Bear Fruit.
1speelal to Lake County Tfmes.l

Columbus. Ind, Sept 27.-Is twelve
cents a day enough for a superannu-
ated Methodist minister to live on? Or
If so. is just one-haIf that enough for
one to live on? These were two of
the question suggested by Governor
Hanly today at the Methodist con-
ference in this city
The question that the conference was
considering was the pensions that
should be given to the superannuated
Methodist ministers. The figures pre-
scented showed that on an average,
those belonging to the Southern con-
ference got twelve cents a day, and
those belonging to the Northwest con-
ference got on an average six cents
day. The proposition advanced by
the governor was that these old
preachers who had worked their lives
out in the service of the church, ought
to set more money when they get too
old for active duties.
Preaching is profession where a
man necessarily loses sight, to a great
err or less extent Of the commercial
side said the governor in addressing
the meeting today. The man in this
profession who is always thinking
about the financial side, is not the man
And conversely, the man who is think
ing less about the commercial side, is
the man who often gives his whole
hearted devotion to the church He is
the one who needs the help the most,
and he is the one who deserves it the
most"
Continuing along these same lines,
the speaker urged the conference to
be as liberal as possible concerning
this matter of pensions for the super
animated. He spoke as if he had pro-
found convictions on the subject. Il
was thought that the conference would
take some action that would liberal
ize further the payments that these
old preachers will get

MILLER TALKS OF
TERMS OF PROPOSITION
Says He viii Not Consider Terms of
Less Than Fifty Years-Con Moor's
License Not Yet Grandchildren
Laid Over Until the Next Regular
Meeting.

Owing to the fact that the Chicago
& Interurban Railway company has not
yet secured the frontage for the newly
proposed right of way as agreed upon
by the street and alley committee of
the West Hammond village board, the
franchise question did not come up at
the meeting last night as was at first
expected. J. NJ. Miller of the street
car company, who was present, prom
ised that he would secure enough
frontage in ten days to warrant the
holding of a special meeting in two
weeks.
Members of the Hammond Letter Car
riers' association called upon Mr.. Miller
last night, asking that he include in
the franchise provision for the free
transportation of the mail carriers
while in their uniforms. Mr.. Miller
readily agreed to this and is confident
In general about the outcome of the
franchise. Speaking to a LAKE COUNTY
TIMES representative last night Mr..
Miller said: Unless there is a hitch
on the question of time for which the
franchise should be granted, I feel con-
fdent that it will go through. as the
route has been so arranged as to please
very nearly all parties concerned"
No Short Term Franchise.
Would you consider a twenty five
year franchise as a last resort" Mr.
Miller was asked. I'VE could not con-
slider 1t for minute. Twenty five year
franchise bonds are too hard to sell
Sooner than accept that term we will
withdraw. The board did to some ex-
tent insist on bond that we should
provide for the building of the road.
Such course is extraordinary and 1
don't think we should be asked to do
that. The board always reserves the
right to withdraw a franchise, and we
have given the best of Chicago bank
reference"
The meeting last night, which should
have been primarily a franchise meet
ing, drew but a small crowd of tax
payers considering the important ques-
ton that should have come up.
Con Moor, former owner of the no
torious Mecca saloon and now estab-
lished in an alleged reputable board
ing house business on Plumer avenue,
in the Berwanger place, came in for
heavy scoring when the question of
granting him a dram shop license came
up Tor passage the trustees have al
ready issued him a permit for a short
time. The board still refuses to act in
the license matter and laid the ques-
ton over until the next regular meet
ing. Shortly before the close of the
meeting, John Dombrowski took the
floor and in severe language scored the
village president and the committee on
streets and alleys for permitting Con-
tractor Healy to leave the streets OF
West Hammond in impossible shape.

In fact Gary was thronged with
