They are anxious to have the bills be-

cor,mktee believe that more than two
thirds OF It's. members Will vote for IA
voruble repofts.
The Bills for the admission of Ari-

gress are enabling acts modelled upon
the act by which Utah was elevated to

mas bill which was debated by the last

he said. 'The Territory produces more

compensated for the decreased use OF

are not extremists, Moreover our
statehood would not be acquired for a

the financial question might have been
removed from politics as q disturbing

MI. Catron. Of New Mexico. believes
that the committee will undoubtedly
make a favorable report on the state

continuation OF the police court ex-
animation OF Mrs. Mary A. Davidson
this afternoon for alleged extortion
from Rev. c. o. Brown, pastor OF the
First Congregational church. the de:
PENDANT was again on the witness stand
on cross examination. Her attorney
tried to show by repeated questions
that DR.. Brown was aware OF the exls-
tence OF the mysterious Mrs. Baddin.
for whom Mrs. Davidson said she was
collecting the money from Dr. Brown.
This point could not be developed, how
ever. MOI, did Mrs. Davidson's attorney
succeed In introducing evidence as TO
the clergyman's alleged intimacy with
Miss overman.
The prosecution tried to show by the
defendant that she had been convicted
OF q felony in Lynn. Mass. and had
served term in tho penal institute. The
witness could not remember II she had
been convicted nor could she recall the
names OF any persons whom she charg-
cd with having awlndlcd. although their
names were suggested to her.
