Students Lose Cloth
ing And All Proper
ty; Blaze Found By
Night Watchman

WACO, Tex, Jan. 25.-tPl-Luther
Hall, the largest and oldest dormi-
tory at Baylor College for Women
at Belton. about so miles southwest
Of here, was destroyed by fire be-
tween 3 and 5 o'clock this morning
There were no casualties.
The fire started in the kitchen of
the four-story structure, and was
discovered By the night watchman,
who turned in the alarm. Two
hundred and fifty women students
left the building within three min
utes. but were unable to save any
Of their personal belongings.
The loss, not covered by insur-
ance, was estimated at sl50.000 by
J. c. Hardy, president of the col
lege.
Students Of the burned structure
will be housed in other buildings of
the school, it was announced.
The conflagration was one Of the
most spectacular in the history of
the city, and despite the early hour
brought hundreds of persons to the
scene.
The eity's fire fighting department
was quickly on the campus and laid
several lines Of hose, but the early
start of the fire doomed the build
ing.
While the building burned, the
student body. numbering more than
1900. congregated about the fire,
watching the towering flames and
the columns of smoke that swept
high into the sky.
Baylor College for Women is one
of the oldest schools in the state,
and one Of the principal schools for
women of the Baptist denomination.
Or. Hardy later asked friends and
relatives OF the girls whose cloth
ing was destroyed to come to their
assistance Immediately.
''Many of the girls are financially
unable to replace gheir personal
losses" Or. Hardy said in a long
distance telephone conversation with
the Waco Times Herald. "All of
thep will be able to continue in
sehAol IL the needed aid is given"
None Of the girls who were rout-
ed into below freezing weather when
the dori iitory burned, saved any
thing. fhe building was emptied in
three minutes. but the fire spread
so 7apidly that efforts to save cloth
.ag were futile.
As far as could be learned only
one student. Dorothy Williams of
Dallas, was hurt when the 43-year-
cb structure burned. Miss Will
liams vas bruised when she jumped
into hanket from a third story
window.
The building served as a dormi-
tory and dining room. and housed
the music and art departments.
