MINIMUM TEACHERS SALARY IF S1.20O |S URGED BY CO. SUPT.

If the plans under discussion yester- day at the first days session of the annual meeting of county school super intendents held at the state house are carried through, rural school teachers will receive a salary of not less than feature added. C. o. Case state school that an increase in the present ap- propriation may be asked before the session adjourned next Friday
 The plan under discussion will by legislative action, fix the minimum sal ary to be paid at $1.20o per year for term of eight months in the smaller school districts. More can be paid by the county boards /. their discretion. For terms of nine or ten months a larger salary will be paid, according to the size of the school.
 AS an added inducement to encour- age professional reading by the teach CTS. bonus will be paid based on credits secured by examination each yefr on the reading done. It is the plan to alternate the reading circle and attendance of the normal schools each year as it is impractical to expect thS teachers to attend each summer Presk9nt salaries of teachers in rural districts of eight months is about $500 per year. Farther north in the state the terms are longer, and in some places, ten months.
 Only nine of the fl counties were represented at yesterdays meeting but it is expected that all will be present before the session closes.

GREAT DAMAGE
CAUSED BY FIRE
IN GALVESTON
Large Amount Of Cotton and
Two Piers Destroyed in
Blaze.

Galveston, Texas, Sept. 3o.-Fire
which broke out on the Galveston
water front early today destroyed
Piers IS and SO and considerable ad-
jacent property, damaged several
steamers and consumed a large guam
tity of cotton and other commodities.
At a. m. the fire was still burning
but the belief was expressed that it
was under control.
National guardsmen on duty in con-
nection with strike Of dock workers
here were thrown about the fire zone
and spectators were not permitted
within quarter Of a mile Of the
scene. Military officials declined to
discuss details. Consequently it was
amount of damage. Unofficial esti-
mates, however. placed the loss in ex-
cess Of $1,000,0OO.
Started in Sulphur Plant.
The fire, according to best available
reports. originated in a sulphur COM
pany's plant near the water front.
Famed by thirty mile wind, the
flames spread rapidly and within a
few minutes were beyond control.
Every piece of fire-fghting apparatus
IN the city was called into service.
The fire became especially menac-
ing when it swept toward several large
oil tanks. A sudden shift OF the
wind, however. turned the flames.
Spectators who were on the scene
before fire lines were established re-
ported they saw one steamer tied up
fire.
1t was not known early today
whether it had been possible to save
these largest steamers, one Swedish
and two American. IT.
The Galveston Construction com
pany was said to have lost one
steamer and possibly two but the re.
port lacked confirmation.
Ihe fire Is still burning but is under
control. The Italian steamship Etha

Several streams of water are being
pumped into the ship. It is believed
that the cargo will be a total loss and
damage to cargo and ship is estimated
at 100000. -

ANNUAL
MOVING IN
. N. TOMORROW
Estimated That rs, 900 Fami-
lies Will Move To New
Quarters.

New York, Sept. 30.-New York's
annual fall moving day tomorrow will
be marked by unprecedented con-
fusion when $4,000 families set out to
move their, 10000 loads of household
effects on two thousand moving vans,
into new quarters. many Of which al
ready are occupied by determined
tenants. This was the situation fore
cast today by van owners and real
estate men, who hazarded the guess
that it would take at least "a days to
settle the city's nomads into their new
quarters.
1t was difficult to determine
whether the shortage of moving vans
or the shortage of places into which
to move presented the most serious
immediate problem. The Van Own
ers' association. thrown behind sched-
ule by the recent strike of movers.

able to find new quarters. Eviction

the legislature is possible only upon
presentation of proof by the landlord
that the tenaft is of undesirable char
acter, that the landlord intends to
occupy the apartment himself or that
the building is to be torn down. And
even then the tenant cannot be sum-
marily evicted because the landlord
must first prove in court his grounds
for eviction.
Operation of this law, while it will
bring relief to thousands of tenants
will work corresponding hardship
on other thousands who have signed
leases for apartments now occupied
upon the owners statement that they
! would be vacated on October 1.
To avoid as much of the confusion
as possible, Charles Morris. president
of the Van Owners association. said
drivers had been instructed not to ac-
cept furniture for removal before
ascertaining whether the family's
prospective apartment was actually
vacant. The Van Owners association
however, has no control over the

desperate families.
