Hon. Waldo Pettengill of Rumford,
president of the Laymen's Association,
recommended that $4,000 be raised
and retained in the Maine Conference
for the maintenance of worn out min
listers.
He presented a plan for raising the
fund. He said that the laity want 10
see the money well managed, SO that
losses are practically impossible. He
said moneys should not be loaned 70
individuals, but the sort or investment
to savings banks should be made.
Dr.. e. c. e. Dorion
Rev. DR.. E. c. E. Dorion of lions
Herald, was the next speaker.
He said:
During the past four years the
churches Of New England produced
PIG candidates for the ministry. In
the same time the churches used an
nually 1000 men. In this question VIC
find the heart of the problem of tho
ministerial supply. And yet let it be
said that men are constantly seeking
admission to the ministry. When they
take their vows the Methodist Episco-
pal church takes a vow on its part to
give them adequate support.
Adequate support. that means that

Another Murder
 Of Chauffeur

Yesterday word was received at the Sherifl's office that parties travelling on the road from Bisbee to Douglas had come across the body of a Mlxicau chauffeur, who had been murdered while at the wheel of his automobile, and had an ugly wound on the head
 No clues could be found by the parties locating the body and the machine was at the side of the road. The affair took place about eight miles out of Douglas and the machine was headed for Bis bee.
 Sheriff Harry Wheeler immediately wired his deputies at Douglas 10 pro ceed with the investigation. and to in vestigate thoroughly at the army camp at Douglas. it having been suspected that negro soldiers were responsible for the crime, and the sheriff left immedi- atcly for the scene
 This morning. while Chief Deputy Guy Welch had received no official communications relative 10 the crime. further than that received yesterday parties arriving from the Shelter Cit ty brought the news that the Sheriff and his deputies had found evidence that two negroes from the camp at Dougl. . were implicated. and they were arrested and lodged in the branch county jail at that place After close investigation and questioning. it was reported. the two negroes confessed 10 the crime
 Nothing further had been heard at the Sheriff's office late this afternoon.
 The cold -biooded murder of the Mex ican chauffeur is an exact likeaes. to the murder of Joe Englent in Douglas some months ago, and il IS likely that some connection may possibly be made if the negroes in custody are responsible for yesterdays killing.
