RAILROAD FOR
 FREE BRIDGE Representatives Say Assess ments are Fair and They
 Will Help it. FEW PROTESTS FILED Some oi Those Who Charged the Commissioners With Conspiracy
 On Anxious Seat.
FEW PROTESTS FILED

The Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt ed that they would take no further action in obstruatins the building of the Free Bridge over the Arkansas river near Pine Bluff.
 The anounccmcnt was made by Judge w. T. Woodbridge, the legal representative of the Cotton Belt, and Attorney E. B. Trustworthy, of Little Rock, general counsel for the Iron fountain in Arkansas.
 The two attorneys appeared before the assessors of the Bridge District yesterday and after examining the as- easements made against the property of the corporations they represent eX- pressed their satisfaction and entered no protest whatever against the as- seSSmcnt. H'
 We will not fight the building of the Free Bridge any morc," they told the assessors, in substance. 'The roads we represent are not opposed to anything that will tend to uebuild Pine Bluff ard Jefferson county
 By their action one of the biggest factors in the anti-faction has thrown it's weight to the side of the Free Bridge proponents and it is not inn probable that a number of smaller corporations and individuals will fol- low sait ana withdraw their opDosi- l tion 10 the project.
 The statements by the attornyS was voluntary. said member of the con-, mission. and Was, made after they hadA | thoroughly insDected ,ha4gsapaaHRta- l!fViad a9anet ,he railrcade es3
 Tne assessors completed their work and adjourned vester"o~ afeN"nro". Only one protest was filed all day long. The total number of protests | filed against the assessments have just passed the 100 mark said a mem- Der of the board, and one of these was | withdrawn
 | The majority of the protestants ob- jected to the whole assessment A blank form prepared, it is supposed by i Attorney Asa c. Oracle, representing the Taxpayers Protective Association, was the one generally filed. Tn some | places. where the protest charged the commissioners with conspiracy and ] fraud, the drastic accusations were scratched out. Dr. J. F. Simmons, who signed one of the blank protests. later appeared before the assessors and requested permission to with draw it but his request was denied. He was told, however, that he could file another protest. which he did, and the phraseology was somewhat modified.
 l It is said that several of those who objected to assessments levied on their property by signing the blank protests are somewhat on the anxious seat since they have been informed that the charges against the commits sioners are libelous.

 Thus tonight neither Diaz nor Ma dero has any intention of givins up the fight and the situation is more 1 serious than ever Madero became an gry this afternoon when he was told that he could perform greater duty to his country bysresigning.

 The leaders of the rebels operating in this section are Agular and De La Llaco. A remarkable consequence of the battle is the cheapening of food. The residents are afraid to venture to the markets and prices have dropped as a result, vegetables costing today about one-half of the price demanded for them yesterday.
 Shortly before 2 o'clock today bugles sounded all over the city to stop firing so as to allow the soldiers to eat and the White Cross to pick up the dead and injured. A few minutes before the firing ceased Mrs. Nellie S2yer and her daughter Violet, left their rooms at the Hotel Jardin to go the dining room.

WOULD REBUILD THE BRANCH NORMAL z om n tee Recommends School Be ltloved Four
 Miles From City,
FARM SCHOOL. WANTED
Legislators Say il WoH.A Na a Waste ei None, to Repair Present
 Buildings.

Chairman Earl Kiddcr, of the joint committee from the Legislature that recently visited Pine Bluff and , inspected the Branch Normal School. ! and the other members of the com mittae. Senator Lee Miles, !. J. Dip- i boye, C. P. Newton and IT, C. lobe, submitted their report to the esisla- terest to the pCO !e of this city.
 The re ort recommends that the present site of the Branch Normal property be sold for Euildin~ or fac tory sites and that the college be re luilt on a farm, to he purchased, four
 miles from Pine Blgff, with a view to converting it into an agricultural school for negroes.
 This recommendation is in line with a suggestion made by the Graphic two years ago. at which time the matter was taken up and discuss ed with former Governor Donaghey. The committee also presented a bill authorizing an appro lriation for the employment of teachers and other necessary expenses for the next two years, during which time, it is sug- gested the new site can be selected and the agricultural school establish
 ed near this city. if the college ls converted into an agricultural school the pupils could make it self-Sustaln- ing. The report of the committee follows:
 We find that the present buildings l being used for shops are inadequate lC,,I hIyi1 f in sJCt are necessary. We further find that
 the building formerly erected in 1873 to be used as dormitory, out not so used, is unsafe and uninhabitable, due
 to the fact that the floors on the-sec-
 ond floor of the building are sunken
 and fallen and the ceilings in each
 room are broken and the plasterin3 fallen The roof leaks and the ex-
 pending of any money for repairs on the dormitory would be bare waste of the states money We would sn3-
 gest that the school be made an agrl-
 cultural normal school, as the act creating the school was intended, and
 that the school be removed to point to Ee selected by the board of dlrec-
 tors on site at some point about
 four miles from Pine Bluff, and that
 the grounds of the present site De
 sold for a sum of money which Will Ge satisfactory to the board Of dlrec- tors of the Branch Normal school. We think that site of ground for the erection of buildings for the new
 school will be donated by some cltl- zen or citizens of Pine Bluff. The United States financial support for this school, called the Morrell Fund, for $13,0O0 per year, will be dlscon- tinued and withdrawn unless farming te taught. "A bill for the necessary expenses
 and appror riations therefor IS at tached herewith. This estimate IS
 based upon the assumption that the
 school is to remain at it's present To- cation for the next two years. III
 the event, however, that the school IS
 moved this estimate will take care or the teachers and the current ex-
 penses, but does not include the ex- nenses for a new building. Ample funds for the erection of new build
 ings in the event that the school IS
 moved can be derived from the sale of the present school site.''

Mexico City, Feb. 14.-Juan Sanscez Azcona, Madero's private secretary gmphatically denies that the presi" dent has resigned but refuses to state what action in this direction his chief may take tomorrow.

 Every one is excited over the report of Madero's resignation all hoping il B true but doubting that he has de cided to adbicate.
 The belief prevails in many quar- ters that Madero will hold out unless the pressure against him becomes ir' resistible and even then he may try to escape the city and establish a cap' ital elsewhere.

Jesus statement of the two great
laws. 1t is the fruit of religion as
"love God" is the root Of religion
The religion of some men has had
apparently plenty of root and mighty
little fruit. Today we Judge the con,
dition of the root by the nature and
amount OF the fruit. "
Social service is the essence of cul
ture. He whose life expresses itself
in no work for the welfare of others
has no claim to being cultured man,
or woman. President Eliot of Har.
yard says: The passion for Social
Service is fundamental to culture
Some have the forms of culture, but
rome of its spirit.
Social Service will make a splendid
modern equivalent of war" like
that stirring saying of the, young Sir
Philip Sidney, IF there are any good
wars, shall attend them" Here is
"a good war. The foes mentioned
above are worthy the steel of any
fighting men. Social Service is the
appeal to save the. world The old APP
peal was to save just your soul. This
appeal is to save society, and it is by
that margin just so much the bigger.
1T includes evangelism, for you can
not save a society and leave 1t COM
posed of unchanged men. 1t includes
missions. for the world today is too
small and interrelated to neglect any
part and the rest not suffer. SocietE
will not be saved until those We have
.calledNthe, heather are saved.
The contents of these words Social
Service" will, in fact, depend upon the
size of each mans ideals, faith and
hope. He who worships big God
will seek a big redemption for socie-
ty. The size of the man will deter,
mine the reach of his vision. And
what seems entirely out of sight to
one may easily be on the horizon of
another. The Christian can put into
Social Service his idea of the King
dom of God, and he without the Chris
tian hope may see in 1t nothing more
than putting a CRATER out of office, or
building a more slightly tenement.
Is it Socialism? To some it will be.
To more it will not be, at least for a
while But it will set forth Jesus
teachings about society, and show
their social content and import. Je-
sus' teachings about society are more
spirit than theory. Social Service is,
in short, an effort to make Gods
will prevail in every walk of life.
And it is the commanding word Of the
day. 49, r.
