Little Rock, May 25.-Can a woman wear overalls in Arkan- sas and not violate a statute? The attorney general of the state was called upon to answer this question last week. 1t was not in reality a duty of the at torney general, but he under took to answer the party ask ing the question. It was 'deslr- ed to know that in the event a woman wished to wear overalls, merely for the sake of conven- fence and not for the purpose of concealing her identity, would she be violating any law to so attire herself. The attorney gen cral could find no law forbldding the wearing of such apparel and so notified his questioner.

MARRY $4,000
IS CALLED FOR IN
THE LARGE CONTRACT
Fight Arises Over the Clearing and
Grabbing Which Savage Ignored
In His Bid.

The bids for the paving were
opened Monday night at the meeting
of the city council and the contract
was let to George Milton Savage of
Tacoma for $192,S46.22. All of the
bids were very close and the different
contracting parties were greatly sur
prised at the bid OF Mr.. Savage when
it was read.
There was considerable argument
between the Savage contracting firm
and II. r. John & Co. of Seattle, who
claim that the bid Of George Milton
Savage was out of form, he having
bid on the clearing and grubbing as
was specified in the bid itself.
The council decided that, not hav-
ing put in bid for that purpose, he
was to do that free of charge Mr.
Savage explained that as there was
no clearing or grubbing to be done
he did not see that it was necessary
for him to submit price for doing
work
The other bidders were the Inter
national Contract company and the
Lister Contract company
Following are the bids as they
were presented 10 the city council
last night

The bill of the health department
was sent back to the health commit
tee with instructions to investigate.
The amount of $3.50 for the past
month was thought to be too much
by the city council, and they think
it best TO see if the drugs can not be
bought at a smaller figure, and there
fore the bill was held over until the
next meeting, so that they might
look into the matter. The council
thought that as long as the city was
buying wholesale quantities the city
ought to get wholesale prices. The
matter will be reported at the next
meeting Of the council

Molnar's dramas to attain prominence
outside of his own country, but it is
by no means his first effort in this
field, more than dozen works of a
lighter sort having come from his pen
within the past three or four years and
having achieved popular favor. These
have been for the greater part light
comedies of character, as opposed TO

ed in Hungary and Austria, as well as
throughout Germany
THE Devil'' had its initial presenta-
tion in Buapest in April, 1907, and its
first presentation in any other coun-
try in Vienna, at the Volks theater, the
following autumn. Since then it has
been seen in Berlin, Rome, Florence,
and dozen of the other more impor-
tant cities on the continent, while it
is now being translated into French
for production in Paris during the
forthcoming season.

ample justice, perhaps, to his literary
