Property damage was extensive.
The Rye Cove catastrophe came
shortly before 1 o'clock when 125
student* and teachers were tn the
two-story frame building. Of thia
number, few. If any, escaped death
or injury of some sort.
The eight-room school was at-
tended by children from a radius
of 10 miles, from kindergarten
age to high school seniors. The
huirding, struck with sudden and
•battering force, collapsed In a
twinkling as the roof was torn
away.
The children were trapped 1r
the wreckage, some being killed
nection with the burning to
death last night of Mr. and Mrs.
W. T. Davidson, about 60, in
their farm home. No chargee
have been filed.
"Mr. and Mrs. Davidson were
the parents of Mrs. C. O. Hut-

midnight and uw someone run

in flames.
This morning, Simmons noti-
fied neighbors who went to in-

found In the ruins of the bed-
room and his wife's body was

ruins of the house. Another oil
container was found In David-

AUSTIN, May 3.—Prison con-
centration was taken up by the
House of Representatives shortly
after noon.
To do so, the House voted’to
reconsider the action of yester-
day afternoon, when the prison
bill was set as a special order
for next Wednesday.
The new program was adopted
over protest that many members,
relying on the setting of the bill
for Wednesday, had gone home
for the week-end. There were
only 107 member* present.
The motion to take up the bill
today was made by backers of
the Young-Turner bill, assisted
by H. N. Graves. The Young-
Turner bill calls for concentra-
tion on the Ramsey or Darring-
ton farms in Brazoria County,
both owned by the State. At the
regular session. Graves support-
ed the Governor's plan which
calls for buying' a prison site.
Graves said he has changed be-
cause there is no chance to get a
removal bill and the concentra-
tion bill will be a step toward
solving the prison problems.
Speaker W. S. Barron left the
chair to speak for immediate ac-
tion on prisons. It Is the out-
standing problem before the .
State, he said.
"If we had not had civil ser-
vice submitted we might have
passed a prison bill,” said Rep.
George Purl of Dallas. Purl has
been an active supporter of the ,
Governor's program. -
