THE DAVIS MILLIONS.
New Claimants Appear at Butte In The
Person of Alleged Widow and
Daughters Of Davis.

Butte, Mont, March Reconsideration
was thrown into the camp of the numer-
GUS heirs and claimants of the Davis
millions last night when Attorney M. j.
Cavanaugh filed a petition n the distric.
court in behalf of Mrs. Huldah Queen
Davis, otherwise known as Huldah Smell,
of Kern county, Cal, laying claim to the
whole estate of many millions, alleging
that she is the surviving wife of the dead
millionaire.
Davis was not known to have been
married and his relatives here laughed at
the claims of the California woman, when
she was first heard about year ago.
She alleges that she was married to
Davis on August 15, 1912, in Carroll
county, Ark, and was his lawful wife
until his death IN Butte, on March IA,
1870.
Two children were born to them, she
says, one, May Isabelle, now Mrs. Isabelle
Marrow, of Fresno, CAL, and the other,
Laura Annie Calhoun, living in San
Francisco.
The petitioner asks that all the prop
erty now in the hands of the administra-
tors be divided among them according to
law, by which she is entitled to half and
each of the daughters to fourth.
After their marriage Davis went to Cal
ifornia. The wife heard he was dead and
married again. Later she moved to Cali
fornia and met him again.
Mrs. Calhoun, one of her daughters, is
Mother Eleanor Calhoun, an actress. now
in Paris.

TIE STATEHOOD BILLS AGAIN
House Committee on Territories De.
cldes to Act on Arizona and
New Mexico Bills.
MEASURES MAY BE REPORTED TO HOUSE
Conferees Have Agreed to Accept SEN
ate Cuban Resolutions-Pre
on Gold Bars Raised by Treas
ury Department.

Washington, March 26.--The statehood
bills for the admission of Arizona and
New Mexico will be again passed upon by
the house committee ON territories next
Thursday. To day the committee de-
cided without any formal vote to take the
bills up next week and vote upon them a
second time.
The New Mexico bill has been reported
favorably to the senate, but the house
committee, by very close vote taken
several weeks ago, decided not to report
them to the house.
II is now claimed by the advocates of
statehood that the two committeeman
who voted against reporting the bills
have come to the opinion that the best
plan will be to lay them before the house
and let the whole house take the respon-
eibility of passing or rejecting them.
This course has been advocated by some
party leaders.
