BOnci, too, as EdgardO, has seldom been in better voice and his success was only a bit behind that of the Austrian singer.

The resolution further provides that special investigation shall be made to determine whether or not the present contract with Caldwell x Drake can be cancelled by the state. The investigation promises to be one of the most interesting features of the present sesslon. George w. Donaghey of Conway has announced that he will appear before the committee and reiterate all the charges he has previously made against the present contrac- tors and the members of the state capitol commission. The committee has decided to hold executive ses- sions at times during the introduce tion of testimony.

 unless this is done, defects or mis- representations in the application shall be no bar to the payment of the policies. Senator Goodwin con- tended that many timesc coalitions are attacned to policies that are unknown to the insured, and also that errors are frequently made
 in filing applications, which are later construed as deliberate at- tempts to misrepresent the facts.
