ATTRACTED BY THE
 PHOENIX CLIMATE
Visitors Here From California. From Far-off Florida and From E Indiana.

Phoenix may be justly proud of the climatic conditions which are in evil dence during the winter months wheT in the north, and not many miles away either, cold weather intermingled with sleet and snow prevails. It is interest ing to note that there are visitors in Phoenix from the sunny cline of Flori- da in the persons of pr. and Mrs. Mel Mitchell of Jacksonville. who came here to enjoy the climate and get away from the rainy season which generally pre- vails in their home town about this time of the year. Other visitors also are II. c. BeedmO and wife of Stock ton, California, so it is very evident that Phoenix is attracting tourists from two sunny climes, Florida and California. It is hoped they will go to their respective homes with good re- ports of the beautiful climate of Ari- zOna.
 Geo. A. Fitch and son, E. w. Fitch, arrived in the city from their home at Cincinnati, ohio, yesterday and are registered at the Adams Hotel. Mir. Fitch accompanied his son to this city to remain here during the winter with the idea of the climate benefitting the health of MT. Fitch, Jr.

 MT Warren qualified but he was lost 1 sight of after the fire of peremptory challenges.
 One question asked all jurors by the defense was whether they were mem
 bers of either the Eagles or the For Iesters, to both of which orders Button
 had belonged. There were two Eagles
 in the venire but no Foresters In the questions of the prosecution there was la hint that a residence in or near Mesa was a disqualification
 The court room was crowded until late in the afternoon when it was evil dent that the testimony stage would not be reached that day. The widow of Button was there dressed in black and accompanied by some friends. Several relatives and friends of the defendant from Mesa and whereabouts were present. The defendant showed some signs of his confinement and wore the same air of seriousness with which he has been clothed since the night of the tragedy.

SAM JOHNSON, VAC
 KICKED ON THE GRUB
Refuses to Stay in Jail if He Can't Have at Least Three Meals Day.

Sam Johnson. resident of the United States Gas he says), was ar rested yesterday on the charge of vagrancy. Sam had no perceptible means of support and when he was found prowling around with "a large appetite stare on his face and a wild longing. seemingly. to appease that ap- petite by fair means or foul, he was taken into custody and given a meal Sunday evening. About 3 o'clock yes terday afternoon the officers at head quarters were startled to hear a pounding on the door of the cell Oc- cupied by sam. Upon Investigating the cause of the disturbance it was reported to Marshal Moore that Sam was hungry and wanted a meal. He was brought before the marshal and upon being questioned as to the cause of the pounding on his cell door he said, @'Well, boss, don't l get three meals a day?" The marshal replied that if he continued his stunt of knocking for meals he would be put on bread and water with plenty of water and very little bread. sam said. "Well, every place l have been in they always gave me three meals a day" Marshal Moore ordered Of- ficer Carr to take the prisoner out and buy him a meal and he will be retained over night and if he is good may be released in .the morning with about. thirty minutes time to get out of town in.

PEARCE CASE
 JURY FOUND Taking of Testimony In Mur. der Case Today THE FIGHT BEGAN EARLY The Defense Attacked the Venire and Failing In That Joined the Prosecution In the Process of Sitting It Down Fine.
THE FIGHT BEGAN EARLY

Ali of yesterday was occupied in the district court in securing a iury for the trial of Jesse R. Pearce indicted for the murder of Ossian NJ. Button. It was not until half past four o'clock in the afternoon, after thirty three veniremen had been examined, twenty nine passed for cause and seventeen peremptory challenges had been exercised that the following trial jury was announced: J. Kieth Pickrell, John E. Ranton. w. F. Jacquith, John Jungerman, Eugene Goldman. H. E. Cavness, w. w. Kun llle, ". B. Acuff, Moses w Haggard, g. A. Redden, Reuben Hill and c. H. Woodson. An adjournment was then taken until this morning when the tes-

timOny for the territory Nvlll begin to | be taken. The first witness will prob i ably be J. K. Burnett, the congressman, the star witness for the prosecution, who took Button to his home where he met his death and who was waiting at the street to bring him back to town. | Judge Baker. attorney for the de- | fense indicated his purpose to contest the case at every stage. He attacked
 the venire, claiming that it had been l lirreguiarly drawn, but his motion to dismiss it was denied and the examina- ton of the talesmen began. It was ex- ltremely thorough on both sides The lattorneys seemed to have come into possession ot a knowledge of the rela- tions intimate or remote, of every jur- or who had had any relations with either the defendant or with Button.
 For instance, when one juror stood up to be examined he was asked by Dis trict Attorney Bullard if it was not a fact that he had called at the jail to see
 Pearce after his arrest. That was ad-
 mitted, but the juror qualified for cause though he was later wiped off the map by peremptory challenge.
 In the case of another juror, Judge Baker already knew that some years before Button had been in his employ as a hostler. Their relations were not close, but questioning concerning them developed a bias which resulted in the eXcusing Of the juror for cause.
 Another juror whom the defense de- sired to dispose of without wasting one
 of the precious peremptory challenges was D. c. Warren, who has never been known to give a man charged with
 crime any advantage he ought not to
 have. MT. Warren knew nothing about
 this case and did not know until after
 he had been summoned on the jury that
 his daughter and a son had been sub
 poenaed as witnesses for the territory.
 MT. Warren knew nothing about the
 case except from his reading of it in
 the papers. He had not discussed it at home with any member of his fami-
 ly. He was asked if he had ever talk
 ed about it on the street or if any
 body had ever talked to him about it.
 He said that he had never had any con versation on the subject of the killing of Button with anybody and any body who knows MT. Warren we'll knows that that was true. No living man has ever yet been able to start and main- tain a conversation with MT. Warren on any subject which is not In some

Immediately before the close OF the
session and no action or vote Of any
kind was taken on either resolution,
nor was any motion made for any ac-
ton on either resolution BY Cheaves
or Cabaldon or by others.
Closing Address Conservative.
1.-THE speaker made his closing ad.
dress to the assembly which was very
conservative In tone recognizing the
work Of the American government in
the Philippines and the fact that the
people had shown by their participa.
ton IN the government that 1t was
their desire to cooperate with It, In.
dicating thereby to the assembly what
was the proper course to pursue and
that the assembly had pursued the
same policy Of cooperation which had
already been marked by the people In
their municipal and provincial gov.
ernments.
"osmena stated that there were
many who expected and desired that
the assembly should Immediately get
into conflict with the commission and
the constituted authorities. He said
that such policy wa not in accord
with that which had been pursued by
the Filipino people and It RAJ evident
that both chambers should work har.
mpniously for the common veal; each
chamber had insisted strongly upon
its own ideas as to what was really
best for the islands. but that all con-
ferences between the two houses had
been noted for temperance in discus
sion and good will.
What the Speaker Said.
"He stated that the cooperation OF
1.-THE people with the government did
not signify, however. that the people
