SOME SERIOUS CHARGES.
THE GORDON DISBARMENT PRO.
CEEDINGS.
Accused of Using Information for His
Own Pecuniary Advantage-Tbe
Judge Pleads Not Guilty.
A Peculiar Case.

The disbarment proceedings against
Attorney Samuel B. Gordon came up
yesterday in department two before
Judges Mckinley and Clark.
The petitioners are ]. G. Kofoed and
Mrs. Lilly Kofoed.
They allege that last summer they
employed Gordon to sell certain real es.
tate for the purpose of satisfying three
deficiency judgments against them.
The allege that instead of 30 doing,
Gordon went to James F. Cosby, who
held one of the said Judgments, and
bought the judgment for 5000.
Mr.. S. A. Madison stated that in the
latter part of July Mrs. Mccormack
came 10 him, saying her visit was in behalf
OF the Kofoeds, asked him for loan of
$4,000, in order to free the Kofoed estate.
Witness refused, but considered the
matter latter on. Then Gordon came to
him and enquired whether witness was
going to aseist K0foed. Witness said he
might, and thereupon Gordon told him
that he would not allow it, and that he
would see that it was no use if he did,
and according to witness, Gordon at
tempted to persuade witness into q dis
honorable transaction.
Witness told him that he was a man
of honor, and Mr.. Gordon left the room.
The proceedings then went over until
some evening next week.

A WANDERER RETURNS.

Professor Zimmerman, of Pioneer Os-
trich Farm Fames in the City.
Professor William Zimmerman, form
erly well known to the older residents of
Los Angeles, is spending the holidays
here.
After an absence of eight years the
professor is surprised at the growth and
beauty of Los Angeles. He predicts a
lively intercourse between Central Cali
fornia and the southern part as soon as
the coast extension OF the Southern Pa
cific railway is completed from Santa
Margarits, San Luis Obispo county, to
Santa Barbara.
In 1858 Mr.. Zimmerman, together
with Drs. Sketchley and Prothers, es-
tabhshed the first ostrich farm on this
continent, near Anaheim. and he may
be rightly called the pioneer in the busi-
ness.

The 9. P,s Chino branch.

Pomona Progress: H. E. Huntington,
J. 9. Stubbs and other officials of the
Southern Pacific railroad company,
were in Pomona on Friday inspecting
the valley with reference to railroad ex-
tension in the locality. Mr.. Huntington
said that neither the Southern Pacific
nor any other of the railroad companies
are in financial condition to engage in
building new lines at this time, no mat
ter what their plans were before the
stringency in the money market began
six months ago. The railroad compa-
nies feel the hard times Just as much as
the people, and perhaps more. He said
that he was aware that the options on
the right of way to Chino expire Janu-
ary 1st, nevertheless it is not likely that
the company will undertake the work oil
constructing the line at this time.
Mr.. Huntington said he did not feel
that the people of Pomona care for
the road. He had understood from the
first that right of way would be fur
nished if the company would build the
soad, and unless Pomona cared enough
about the road to give q right of way,
the company would undoubtedly aban-
don the undertaking altogether. But if
the people there show enough interest in
the matter to furnish the right of way,
the company would at least feel more
disposed to carry out their original plan 8
in spite OF the hard times.

FROM THE SUPREME COURT.
Two Opinions which Wore Received In
Thfa Citv.

Two Opinions Which We're Received In
This City.
The following supreme court decisions
were received here yesterday:
City of San Luis Obispo vs. Mariana
Brizzolara ct al. proceedings to con-
denim certain lands for public streat.
The jury assessed the value of the land
taken from defendants at $6500, where
upon plaintiffs moved for new trial
upon the ground that the verdict was
not sustained by the evidence. The new
trial was denied, whereupon plaintiff
appealed.
Judgment and order reversed, and
new trial ordered.
County OF San Luis Obspo vs. B. f.
Pettitt ct al. action to recover $2316.19,
alleged misappropriated or lost by Pet
tilt while county treasurer, the other de-
PENDANTS being bondsmen. On August
l, 1892, Madison Graves, county license
tax collector, made settlement with
the county auditor for moneys
collected by him, showing that
he had in his possession
$2927.2l belonging to the county. A
certificate was issued to him by the
auditor showing that such settlement
had been made, and Graves delivered
this to Pettitt on September 30th. Five
days later Treasurer Pettitt gave re-
ceipt to the auditor showing that he
had received this sum from Graves, but
when the count of Pettitt's cash was
made on December Let, a shortage OF
S23l6.19 was found, which existed at
the end of his term.
Pettitt's bondsmen claimed that Graves
only paid $400 of the money he had col
lected into the treasury, but promised
to give Pettitt check for the balance,
and that ne did give Pettitt check for
s2500, upon local bank. but stopped it's
pay ment. They therefore claim that
they are not liable on Pettitt's bond be-
cause Graves and not Pettitt is indebted
to the county.
Graves, however, swore he paid the
entire sum to Pettitt before obtaining
his receipt.
Judgment was rendered in favor Of
plaintiff, and defendants appealed.
Judgment affirmed.

THE MIDwINTER FAIR.

Tho County Commissioners Hold an
Important Meeting.
The Los Angeles county midwinter
fair committee met at the chamber yes
terday afternoon. Mr.. j. 8. Slauoon oc-
cupied the chair. and Mr.. @. D. Willard
was secretary. Mr.. Woodbridge Of the
olive oil committee moved that his COM
mittee include the work necessary to
other kinds of essential oils, which was
done.
Mr.. Lankershim reported that the
committee on dried fruits had been un-
able thus far to secure any donations,
but that there were some splendid sam
pies that could be purchased.
Prof. Keyes OF the educational com
mittee reported that no appropriation
had been made to get up the exhibit.
1t was moved and carried that the
board of supervisors be requested to APP
propriate 5000 for this purpose.
1t was decided to employ an expert
decorator.
The citrus fruit committee reported
that the necessary fruit will be furniehed
by the various fruit exchanges.
The honey committee reported that
they were going to have sweet exhibit,
and one that would wax all previous
shows Of the kind.
1t was decided that the relief map of
the county would be placed fiat on the
floor instead OF at an angle OF 45 degrees.
Artist J. Borglum reported that the
managers had cut down space and that
he would like to have the original
amount. 1t was decided to request that
Mr.. Borglum be given the space prom
ised originally.
The wine committee reported they
were undecided as to whether they
would exhibit in the design of house
or large bottle. The matter was dis-
cussed at some length, but no conclu-
sion was arrived at.

Pomona's Electric Road.

IhOads NHa
The attendance at the mass meeting
in the opera house on Monday night
showed that the people are greatly in
terested in the Claremont electric rail-
road enterprise, in which President
Baldwin Of the college has worked 80
hard and efficiently.
Except for one or two changes of
speakers, the programme published in
The Progress of last week was carried
out in full. The advantages of a system
of electric railways leading to different
parts of the valley, and particu larly to
Claremont, were fully set forth. The
people OF Claremont reported that they
want rapid and frequent transit to Po-
mona, and the people here want them
to have it; and everybody admits that
the road would be of great convenience
and value to all the people living or
owning land along the line between the
two places. Claremont has contributed
$4,000 and Mr.. Baldwin asked that Po-
mona give an equal amount. He said
if that were done G. w. Foote, a capi-
talist and railroad builder of Cleveland,
Ohio, would come to Pomona as fast as
the cars could bring him, and the work
of constructing the road would begin at
once and the line be in operation within
ninety days from January 1. Blank
pledges were circulated among the
audience and about $500 secured at
once.
Mr.. Baldwin ought to have little diff
ficulty in getting pledges for the balance
of the amount needed to close the con-
tract with Mr.. Foote. Pomona has
never had such opportunities within her
immediate grasp as at present.

The Invention of German Tailor to
Protect soldiers.

The Invention of q German Tailor to
Protect soldiers.
Proiectile makers in recent years
have expended much money. time and
ingenuity in increasing the efficiency
of the various missiles that come with
in scope of their endeavors, and they
have undoubtedly achieved some Won
derful results. But of what use is it
all? No sooner is the proiectile i'm
proved to the extent of dcrnolishinE
the likclicst object of its attack than
some counter Improvement Is made to
defeat the improved projcctile. ArIaor
plate is made too strong to be pene-
tratcd by missiles of the greatest
known penetration. and then missiles
are made to penetrate the armor, ard
stronger armor has to be made. So the
inventors in the two lines keep playing
sccsaw with one another, now one up
and now the other, until it seems as if
their rival efforts must produce about
the same result as If neither had ever
begun. and as if the best way to end it
all was to mutually agree to do moth
ing.
Here is a German tailor in Mann
helm. for instance. says the London
News, who had apparently defeated
the lately gained and much lauded in
creased penetrating power of the Ger
man rifle ball. He has invented or dis
covered some substance which rcsists
bullets in way that greatly astonishes
military men, and the army rnagnateS
are after his secret. Military commits
sions have made numerous tests and
declared the results most satisfactory.
Tho inventor has made tho material
into n sort of cuirass or hrcastplate in
tended to be fastened to the uniform at
the shoulders and the thighs and
weighing only six pounds The sur
face of the breastplate is Of ordinary
military cloth, and the resisting sub
stance is put underneath. OF course it
leaves the head, arms and legs eN-
posed. At one of the tests life size
dummy figure of a soldier was dressed
up with one of the shields and set up
to be fred ut. Not one of the bullets
that struck the figure went through
the material. They were found i'm
bcdded in the coat, all of them flat
tened by the resistance offered. In or
der to find the probable effect of the
bullets upon human body the dummy
was covered with soft material under
the brcastplate, and the effect upon it
was but a slight depression, less than
y tenth of an inch beneath where the
bullet struck. 1t seems likely, there
fore. that n soldier wearing the armor
would suffer some pain on being struck
r by bullet, and at n short distance
might even be rendered insensihle. but
it is thought he could not be seriously
injured
