FIRE LOSS EVER KNOWN IN
HISTORY OF COLLEGE. PROPERTY
AND RECORDS OF FIRST AND
SECOND FLOORS SAVED.
Bryan Fire Department Responded Promptly
Members, With Their Apparatus Taken
Out in Automobiles and on Trolley,
but Could do Little Good.

Fire which was discovered at 2
O'clock this, morning completely de.
stroyed the main building of A. & NJ.
College, the morning sun showing in
the shadowy outlines the remnants of
walls that yet stand.
Just how the fire orlsiTafed is not
known. G. w. Ashford and w. G..
Church, two senior cadets rooming in
Foster Hall, were studying late into
the small hours in preparation for the
examinations which were scheduled
for today They heard a noise of some
flames. They looked out OF their win
dows and at first could not locate the
sound. Then they saw reflection of
light in the windows of the chemical
building. Running in that direction,
they found the fire in the rear part
OF the main building, divided between
the third and fourth floors. The alarm
was given and the entire cadet corps
and all the campus residents came out.
Hose was stretched and the pumps
were set going, but Capt. c. L. Fenton,
commandant OF cadets, called the men
out of the building. as the starways
were burning and it would have been
dangerous to have risked human life
within the building. as the burning
timbers from the top floor were drop
ping and there we're towers and arches
that would have fallen upon any men
who tried to work against the flames.

tRy Associated rress.l

members of the fire department reach

complish anything.
But while nothing could be done to
save the building, there was some sal
wage from the offices. James Sullivan,
secretary to the president and assist
ant in the office of the college secre-
tary, got into his office with large
number, of students and many of the
records of the office of the president,
the secretary and the dean were got
ten out. Another salvage crew was
organized at the office of the treas
urer and all OF the live" records OF
that Office were saved. The safe was
not taken out, but it is believed all in
the safe was saved.
Other salvage crews worked in other
parts of the first floor and the second
floor, and every particle of property
that was in the reach OF hands was
taken out. The attention of the fire.

to use their forces to prevent injury
to American lives and property. he will
no longer object to the United States

Minister Beaupre at Havana has
been instructed to make plain to the
