S. E. WHIT E MINORCAS

Minorcas, Spanish and Andalusians,
are all of one racial from one
country of origin-Spain. The former
have been known to and bred by the
English for almost a hundred years.
According to some authorities, the
very earliest name of the entire group
was Minorcas. White Faced, Blue and
Black, and later. when some white
sports from the black variety were
successfully bred together and repro
duced-the White Minorca
White Minorcas have been devel-
oped from sports or albinos of the
black variety, and as layers of large
white eggs and in other characters
ties equal their black cousins. They
are large, striking fowls, their pure
white plumage, legs, beak and ear

lobes contrasting strongly with the
brilliant red of their large combs and
wattles. In the male the comb should
be heavy, neatly serrated and stiffly
erect. In the female the comb is thin
ner and folds, hanging over one side
of the head
These fowls. together with their
black sisters, hold the record for the
production of the largest white eggs,
and at first glance, on account of their
size-males 6 Y to s pounds; females
1a to s II pounds-would appear to
be the ideal fowl for stocking an egg
farm specializing on extra large white
eggs for fancy trade. In theory this
is good. In practice impossible. The
White Minorca is not a rugged fowl.
1t cannot be raised in thousands as
successfully as the Leghorns.

INVESTIGATION MADE
 OF REFUGEES CAMP
Agent of Adiutant Generals Office Believes 1t Is Gathering of
 Strikebreakers

The report of a man sent by the office of the adjutant general to in vestigate the refugee camp at Cliff ton submitted his report yesterday. In his opinion it is becoming a strike breakers camp. The attorney gen eraI said that that was what was suspected, notwithstanding the prom ise of the mine managers that they would import no strikebreakers and that no men would be received at the camp except those who had been in the employ of the company. The agent said that he applied for ad- mission and was asked whether he had been formerly employed by the company He replied that he had not, whereupon it was suggested to him that if he could remember that he had been so employed, he could register and would be given work as soon as the, mines would be re- 1 opened.
 ] As a result of his investigation he said that he had found that a large number of men had been brought in from Kansas City, among them sew eral Italians. Others. mostly Mexi- cans. had come from the southern part of the state.
 The investigator said that the Iler
 were receiving no pay, but tneil 1 board was free and they were fur nished with blankets and tents. They l told the investigator that as soon as enough men had been enrolled to equal the number of strikers at Cliff
 ton and Morenci. work in the mines would be resumed.

Though in none of these affidavits is it alleged that Beckton admitted that he had sworn falsely. Beckton who voluntarily appeared before the board. denied that he mad any such conversa- ton with any of these men. To this denial Beckton made oath. The mem bers of the board called attention to the fact that another witness at the trial of Faltin. Harry Williams, corro- borated in part the testimony of Beck ton as to the confession of Faltin and his testimony was not challenged by affidavits.
 The members of the board speaking of the statement by Messrs Struck meyer and Jenckes in their appeal to the people. said that it conveyed a wrong impression that Faltin was con- victed purely on circumstantial evil dence, or that there was evidence that the killing Of Peterson occurred only in the heat of passion. They quoted from the unanimous opinion of the su- preme court in affirming the court be- low: The jury had both direct evil dence of the manner and means of the homicide and they had direct and cir cumstantial evidence of the identity of the perpetrator of the crime"
 Further the supreme court concluded. The decisive issue of fact was wheth- CT defendant. Faltin or witness PomerO struck the fatal blow. The jury de- termined that question against the con tention of Faltin upon substantial con vincing evidence"
 It was stated in the appeal that the quarrel that led to the killing of Pe
 terson by F'altin. took place outside the house. The evidence shows that the interior of the house was all spattered with hlood and that Peterson had evil dentIy made his way out of the house and was pursued short distance from the front door where the murder was completed. Also the testimony shows that MT. and Mrs. Nicholas Romero. liv- ing a short distance away. heard the evidently uttered by Peterson while he
 was being beaten to death.
 Further Mrs. Pomero testified that early the next morning she saw Faltin ! carrying something to an outhouse where later. the bloody nightgown of
 Peterson was found. and his own bloody overalls. She also saw him cleaning up about the house and on | the porch. evidently trying to remove 1 the stains of blood. She saw him too,
 covering over with garbage the spot
 where the body of Peterson was after ward found There was the additional
 testimony of the little Pinkerton girl that two days before the murder she saw Faltin digging the narrow, shallow
 grave where the body of Peterson was
 discovered two days after the murder.

TEMPE MINIS TWO

Tempe high school scored a double victory in it's Thanksgiving games. played here yesterday >afternoon. with the teams from Florence high, and in tine girls game, but for one free goal that the Florence forward made. Q shut-out record would have been made against the visitors. The boys game was the opener for the after noon and for the first few minutes play was furious. Pafford, Harris and Turner each assisted in the good work for the Tempeans. and much to their efforts is attributed the credit for the total score of 34 points against Florence's g. After the fast playing in the boys contest the girls game seemed a trifle slow, but it was none the less interesting Twenty two points were amassed by the Tempe young ladies, but Flor ence's attempt at field goals were futile and only the one single point made on a free throw saved them from Q shut-out. Last evening the visiting teams and their accompany ing contingent of rooters were royalty entertained at a banquet served in the high school.

 One of the affidavits was by Mort Hackney, . recidivist in the peniten- tiary who said that Beckton had told him that he had to testify against Faltin for his own good. Another affi- davit was by Joseph Clarry, another inmate of the penitentiary who sad that Beckton had told him that he was not justified in testifying against Fall tin. The third affidavit was by D.
