BORGER, Tex, October 15.—Bor- ger's “Army of Occupation” looked for- ward today to marching home again some time tomorrow or Thursday after the sudden decision yesterday of Mayor Glenn A. Pace and Sheriff Joe Ownbey to resign. Gov. Moody, who sent the troops here to enforce martial law, had announced that he intended to keep them in Borger until a set of officers satisfactory to Assistant District Attorney Clem Cal- houn had been installed. In announcing the resignations, Brig. Gen. Wolters, commanding the troops here. said he expected the City Com- mission to resign as soon as it could select & new mayor and asserted that all of Ownbey’s appointees went out of office automatically with the sheriff's Tesignation. The County Commissioner's Court jill select the new sheriff, but Wolters Z;de it clear that the men selected for. yor and sheriff must meet the ap- proval of Calhoun. In the meantime, Calhoun prepared to put before the grand jury the volumi- nous record of crime in Borger which a military investigating committee has been collecting since martial law was declared. In charging the jury yes- terday, District Judge E. J. Pickens asked it to bend every effort toward fastening upon the guilty person the assassination here September 13 of District Attorney John A. Holmes. Much of the evidence collected by the military inquisition concerned ~this crime and the criminal background which led up to n FOUR DIE WHEN HOT METAL IS EXPLODED By the Associated Press.

A melody for the cello and pianoforte he had composed in his youtl wl.l played at a concert in Wigmore Hall Newspaper critics were klnaly in their comment. “It is melodiously and diplomatically written, and if it is not great music it is plnsant from the point of view of the llsuncr said one.

EX-GERMAN AVIATOR NOW A MISSIONARY | Former War Pilot, Catholic Worker in U. S, Planning Campaign in Pagan Lands. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 15.—A German missionary arrived aboard the liner Deutschland yesterday and announced plans for an expedition to bring Chris- tianity to pagan lands of Africa. He said the two living members of the crew of the Bremen, the first airplane to fly the Atlantic East to West, were assoclated with him in the enterprise. The missionary is the Rev. Paul Schulte of the OblAte Brotherhood of Cologne. He came to this country to seek help of Catholics in America for an expedition which, he said, would take him and Capt. Herman Koehl and Col. James Fitzmaurice, pilots of the Bremen, to Amboland in Southwestern Africa. Amboland remains as one of the least known places on the globe, Father Schulte said, adding that the natives have never heard of Christianity and their state is one of complete paganism. If the necessary funds are raised, the missionary said he hoped to set out with Koehl and Fitzmaurice in Janu- arv of 1931. Koehl and Fitzmaurice and the late Baron Gunther von Huen- feld became known as the three mus- keteers of the air after their flight from Ireland to Labradour in March of last year. — Tn;mkel Record Run. ‘What is claimed to be the longest non-stop railway run ever made was recently accomplished in South Amer- ica.
