ESTIMATES VARY
 AS TO VALUE OF NORMAL SCHOOL
Six of Nine Signers of Let ter to Senator White Place
 Property at $20,O00.

Little Rock, March 10.-The con- sensus of opinion among nine Plne Bluff business men who addressed Senator White on the subject seems to be that the Branch Normal prop erty there is worth $20,000. Six value it at that figure, one estimates the value at $1S,000 while two ap- praise the property at S50,0O0.
 In concurring in the house amend ment to the Branch Normal appro- priation bill Tuesday afternoon, the senate voted to prevent the sale or the property now used by this school in Pine Bluff unless $50,o00 is secur- ed for it. Tn the opinion of Sepa- tor White this will make the change of location in the school an impos- sibility for several years to come. Estimates by Citizens. When the bill was called Up for consideration, Senator White asked that the following letter be read, giving the estimates of prominent citizens on the value of the property: '"' Pine Bluff, March 8, 1915 Hon. Thos. C. White, senator, Little
 Rock, Ark.
 Dear eSnator-The undersigned noticing in the public prints the situation of the Branch Normal school appropriation bill, desire to give you our opinion of the value of the present Branch Normal school prperty in the city of Pine Bluff.
 The plat shows this tract to be Twenty acres, less small corner cut off by the Cotton Belt right of way, and the entire right of way of the St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern Railway, along the South ern line of the property, distance of a quarter of mile. There is also a corner of the property cut off by Brumps Bayou, which perhaps renders two or three acres of it of little value. We have set opposite our names the amount that in our judgment the property could be sold for at a cash sale at this time.

 Whites Attitude.
 Senator Collins read a telegram from Arthur Murray giving his esti- mate of the value Of the property, and Senator White made a short speech, stating that he would not op- pose the amendment, leaving the sen- ate to judge whether or not it was making a good deal on the real estate. He asserted that he did not want to be placed in the attitude oi opposing or advocating the sale o1 the property at any set figure, for that might look as though he was interested in some real estate con- cern of Pine Bluff.

Wesleyan scored in the first six min

after making first down twice. Blake
carried the pigskin back Is yards on
the punt and Beck and Shumaker ran
the ends for good gains.
With the ball on the 23-yard line Sin

kicked goal. There was no more scor-
ing until the last few minutes of play,
when Capt. Kellison dropped back to
the 33-yard line and kicked a goal
from placement.
Makes Long Gains.
The line plunging of Singleton was
the feature of the game. Time after
time he tore through the Catholic line
for long gains. The defensive work of
Capt Kellison, Blair. Beck and Shu-
maker also was very noticeable. Vance
was back in the game at right guard
and proved to be a stone wall for the
Catholic back field men. Aliens poor
passing caused Wesleyan several losses.
For Catholic the defensive work of
Rogers was very spectacular. but he
was a bear on the offensive-in fact,
the only man to make first down
against the Wes1eyan's strong line.
Murphy and Walters time after time
broke through to the Wesleyan backs
and threw them for losses. The game
was fierce battle throughout and the
victory was a very creditable one for
Wesleyan. The last half was shortened
to seven-minute quarters in order to
