While not familiar with the propo-
sition Dr. W. B. Gray of this city this
afternoon expressed "the opinion that
the proposed removal of the Presby-
terian Theological Seminary from
Austin- to llduston might be very ad-
vantageous for the institution and in
directly might be of beneft to all of
he Presbyterian schools in the state.
Dr. .Grav was informed of the con-
temnlated removal by- The Bulletin.
and expressed much interest in the
matter 'lit might aid in thq solution
of soiriii of the financial' difficulties
of the Seminary" he said.
Div T. P. Junkin of this city is now
In Austin attending a meeting..of the
board of trustees of the Seminary of
which he. is a member and dispatches'
indicate that at this meeting the .board
is .siving careful consideration to a
proposttl by Houston people to remove
the Seminary to that city from the
capital'- city! Dr. William S. Jacobs of
Houston laid before the board a
proposition Involving a donation by
Ex-Governor Hooper of Tennessee and
others of site of fifty acres of land
west of the Rice Institute at Houston
and also a plan to arrange the sale p:
the Seminary's property at Austin
alued at about $150000; the mfney
derived from the sale to he used In
the construction of new buildings at
Houston.
DjbCussing the proposition Dr.
Jacob's said according to the Houston
Chronicle: "This fe a big proposition
for Houston:-. It is big not. from the
standpoint of the size of the institu-
tion nor the number of students It-
Jwill enroll from year to year but
Lrather from its importance in the edu-
jcation.al scheme of . Texas. The men
"at theliosd of tho institution are high

FOPT WORTH May 9. Addressing
the convention of th& Retail Mer-
chants' Association of Texas hero to-
day on the subject of "Fire Preven-
tion and Taxation" T. F. Taker chief
inspector of the State. Fire Insurance
Commission declared that property de-
stroyed by fire represents money time
and labor irretrievably lost and that
no amount of insurance can restore
the materials" call back the lime or
restore the energy that goes into a
burned building.
Mr. Baker said that the fire loss in
Texas in 191C was approximately
twentv million dollars a ner capita
loss of $5 and a loss of $20 per fam-
ily. One-half of this waste he added
wps-due to preventable causes.
"Our carelessness and neglect" he
declared "are draining our resources
to the extent of $25000 per day.
Carefulness explained the speaker
would cut insurance rates in two
leave the insurance companies In bet-
ter position and benefit the public'
generally.
Great Fire Waste-
Mr. Baker devoted a considerable
part of his address to showing that
fire wasto in this country is an im-
portant factor in the high cost of
living. He made an appeal to groc-
ers and handlers of food products to
do everything in their power to elim-
inate fire waste of foods. Any mer-
chant falling to show this sort of
patriotism would he said bo 'noth-
Ipg short ol a slacker."
" "Fire unrestrained Is alwavs the
enemy of the human race." he con-
cluded "but fire in war time is a
traitor in camp an enemy in our
trench of?.
"I venture to say that if the present
fire loss in the German empire o!
cents per capita should jump to ?2.c0
ner capita the rate . in the United
States the Teutons 'would be a con-
quered people In less than six
.months."
