RELIGIOUS OBSTACLE
PREVENTS MARRIAGE
OF BORIS, GIOVANNI
Bulgarian National and Roman
Catholic Churches Stead
tasty Refuse Consent

Sofia. Bulgaria, May l7.-Hy-From
q high authority caine the statement
today that rules Of the Bulgarian
National church and tho Roman
Catholic church had prevented the
marriage Of King Boris OF this coun-
try and Princess Giovanni Of Italy.
The authority said that but for tho
attitude Of the Vatican and impossi-
bility Of action by the Bulgarian
church the bctrothal OF tho royal pair
would have been announced in the
course of the Bulgarian national celc-
brations Wednesday.
King Boris and King Victor Eman-
ucls pretty 2~2-year-old daughter felt
a genuine affection for each other
and desired very much to be married.
Boris maternal aunt, the Duchess
Helen, who is also Giovanna's pater-
ma, aunt. first suggested the marriage
which was approved by Giovanna's
father, Premier Mussolini. and tho
Bulgarian government.
Their ardent sponsorship OF the
match, which for a time seemed on
the point Of formal announcement
fell before ~insuperablc religious OBJ
stacleS OH which neither the Vatican
nor the Holy Synod felt disposed to
yield. The principal difference Of
the two churches was the insistencc
Of each that children Of the union
be brought up in that church.
The Archbishop Stephan, head Of
the Bulgarian National church. has
only recently returned from Rome
where he tried to influence the see
to modify its infleXiblc rules govern
ing marriages OF Boris and Giovanni.
He said the Pope had power to
grant dispensations Of this nature
whereas the rule of the Bulgarian
church was modifiable only by
unanimous agreement Of M ecumeni-
cal council comprising the churches
of Russia. Jugoslavia. Rumania.
Greece. Bulgaria and Albania under
the patriarch Basil Of Constanti-
nople, and the consent Of the patri-
archs Of Alexandria. Jerusalem. and
Antioch.

Extra eHh4toi[ Values

This great Hotpoint automatic electric
range is an unusual value! It is equipped
with the unbeatable Hotpoint SPEED
cooking units. The oven is oversize:
measure It and see. Yet it heats up faster
than flame-heated ovens. The automatic
temperature control is more than just
that. It not only maintains the desired
cooking temperature. but a precision
thermometer included in the control
shows you that the exact temperature is
maintained. There is no guesswork about
it. As a result. foods taste better and are
better: and more healthful. too. The
oven is full porcelain enamel lined, easiest
to keep clean. A further advantage is
that this modern range can be custom
equipped-open coil or Calrod units, just
as you want it-now or at any time later.

trio Timer, Thrift Cooker and the Kitchen

BORGER SEES END
OF CRIMINAL ERA
Substantial Citizens Hope
Present Cleanup Will
Be the Last.
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
BORGER, Tex, October 8-This
: boom town Of the Texas Panhandle,
since Berger was born years ago, hopes
to end its lawlesS history this year.
The substantial citizens-and there
are plenty of them-are weary Of the
outbreaks.
Baptized In a wave of crime and oil
discoveries in March, 1926, Berger has
reached climax to its three-year reign
of turbulence. Gov. Dan Moody, with
a martial law proclamation, has moved
to break up what has been termed
the worst crime ring in Texas oil field
history.
Prosecutor Murdered.
The immediate cause of the proc
lamation was the recent killing of the
district attorney. But violence always
has been the lot of Berger.
It was born amid laWleSsness, az
are most oil field towns. When new
oil is struck the oil hands start toward
it. They are well paid; they work
hard and play hard-and rough. And
close behind them trail the camp fol-
lowers of crime.
Within so days after discovery of
va csOOO PS4oOAAo AAud d1AAtCds 041OOl~
ing in saloons, gambling houses and
dance halls became almost nightly al
fairs. The town prospered. the pop
ulation for time grew 1900 a month.
Sayings were common, prosecutions
were few.
One Hundred Arrests a Day.
The rangers stepped in and made
an average of 100 arrests day through
tho fret rorf0d nf 1ouloScnncS
With that the town quieted some,
but in October, 1926, Gov. Miriam A.
Ferguson sent rangers again. In April,
1927, Gov. Moody ordered the rangers
in third time. Martial law was
threatened, but did not 60 into effect.
Now the State charges the town is
crime ridden and must be purified.
The governors proclamation alleges
that peace officers have accepted money
for protection of crime; that re-
spectacle citizens have been afraid to
talk, and that one peace officer is a
former convict.
Mayor in Custody.
Mayor Glen A. Pace has been arrested
charged with having caused witness
in murder case to leave town. Sam
Jones, deputy constable, and Clint Mel
holland, policeman, have been arrested
for investigation.
All other peace officers have been dis
armed, and the soldiers, headed by Brig
Gen. Jacob F. Wolters, have taken over
the government. The neighboring vii
lage of Stinnett, the county seat, also
was put under martial law.
Meanwhile, the good citizens of Bor-
ger are hoping this cleanup will be the
last. The town now has a population
of 10000. Its monthly pay roll is
ST 100000. Consequently law and order
comprise the goal of the future.
