The long-postponed move of the Po-

again. 1t had been expected that the

 While incarcerated, his wife at tempted to gain control of his ex- tensive business. Davis, through counsel, fought this move from his prison cell Shortly before his release the suit was settled. Davis was awarded over $1,000,O00, his wife was given $7700O0 and their two sons each received trust funds of $100,000 each.
 The company which Mrs. Davis claimed she had developed from a $57,000 business to a $3,000,000 con- cern during her husbands imprison- ment was taken over by another firm.
 On leaving Clinton Prison, Davis went to California to spend the remainder of his life in peaceful re- tirement." He found his elder son waiting for him. The younger boy sided with his mother in the years during which the fight for millions had been the football of tangled litigation.

 This time it is a woman A zieg- field dancer named Cano Morris is suing the eccentric financier for $200,000 in a breach of promise action.
 Beautiful Miss Morris declares that Davis promised to marry her and, after bringing her to Califor- mia, threw her out of his magnifi- cent home.
 Miss Morris also points out that her wooer has not yet disentangled himself from the first Mrs. Davis, who at present is in Reno to secure a divorce. She only discovered this, she said, when he showed her the door after showering her with jewels and expensive clothes.

CITY ENPLOYES MUST
 PAY OWN PHONE BILLS
Mayor Quigley to Cut Free List and Is Scanning
 Roll

majority of the city officials and employes who have telephones in their homes at the City's expense are expected to receive notices soon to the effect that they must pay for this convenience out of their own funds.
 Mayor Quigley is now making an inquiry to determine how many per sons on the city payroll have tele- phones for which the city is billed, and it is understood that the order 10 these is now being formulated and will go out without delay. The mayor regards this 10 be an expense which the city should not be called upon 10 pay, taking the stand that in almost every instance the phone was installed primarily for the con- venienCe of the individual rather than to be available for calls on city business.
 Chairmen and clerks of the police and fire boards, chief of the depart ments, the master mechanic, ep- ployes of the electrical division of the police and fire departments, po- lice captain, lieutenants and ser geants are among those who have phones without charge to them selves. Heads of practically all other departments are 'also receiv- ing the benefit of this service at the City's expense.
