any visible means Of support, and that
he has been an associate of lewd and
immoral characters of both sexes.
When seen last night Hiriart made the
following explanation, which is given
for what it is worth: CAS- regards my
commission under Constable Lopez, it
was pointed out to both Lopez and my
self that he had no power to appoint
deputy residing outside his township.
Without waiting for any further dispute,
and being satisfied that the law on this
point was so, l handed in my star to
Lopez at once, and we parted on the best
of terms My commission under Con-
stable Yonkin was revoked suddenly,
owing to an arrest / had made on the
strength OF my authority of man for
carrying concealed weapons at Arroyo
Seco. The man was behaving in an ex-
cited manner brandishing his revolver,
and had his pockets filled with car
tridges. He showed no authority to
carry the weapon, and 1 naturally ar
rested him as being menace to the
public welfare. 1t appears, however,
that he had been working for the Pas
adena officers, and had some sort of
authority to carry concealed weapons.
OF what nature, however, know moth
ing, since he was liberated from Jail by
Constable Yonkin the night of his ar
rest, and my commission was revoked at
the same time. Nothing is said, notice,
in the papers or by those who claim to
know me so well about my commission
as deputy sheriff under Sheriff Burr,
which has never yet been revoked, so
far as 1 know. AS to my present posi-
ton, l answered the usual questions
before the board of police commissioners
as to my having paid nothing to get my
position, ETC., and they apparently were
satisfied. 1t is also an untruth to say
that have had no visible means of sup
port. That is not correct, as 1 have
! been employed at various times by
Jacoby Bros, M. Levy and other stores
as driver, and for four years was clerk
in the office of j. Marion Brooks. have
a number of friends, well known here,
who will vouch for what / have said,
and all 1 can say further is that I have
pretty good idea as to who has started
these rumors and statements, and am
confident it is only clear case of jeal-
ousy. l am ready at any time to appear
before the board of police commissioners
and answer with pleasure any ques-
tions that they, or any one else, may
care to ask me-"

DEMURRER OVERRULED
STATE LOAN AND TRUST COM
PANY WINS FIRST BLOOD
Judge Shaw Holds That the Defend
ants Cannot Plead the Statute
of Limitations

Judge Shaw on Friday filed an opin-
ion in the case of the State Loan and
Trust company against w. G. Cochran,
John Bryson, ST., and H. J. Woollacott,
in which he held that a plea of the stat
ute of limitations set up by the defend
ants could not be maintained by reason
of waiver which they had formally
signed. This action grew out of the de-
falcation of S. B. Hunt. who was elected
secretary of this bank in 1883. At the
time he was elected the defendants went
on his bond as secretary for $4,000. At
ter his death in 1890 1t was discovered
that Hunt had borrowed money from
the bank in large sums, and while he had
put up a lot of securities and collaterals
yet they were insufficient to cover the
amount by about $4,000. The bank was
about to institute suit against these
bondsmen, when they signed waiver
dated Los Angeles, July l, 1892
In June, 1897, an action was brought
by the bank against them for $25,000 on
the bond and they thenpleaded that the
bank should not recover against them
because their debt and obligation was
barred by the statute of limitations.
Judge Shaw held the defendants would
be stopped by their agreement not to
plead the statute of limitations from
pleading it, holding that the fact that
these gentlemen were all stockholders
in the bank, and interested in the trans
actions as individuals as well as bonds
men was sufficient consideration for
signing this agreement, and that the
delay they obtained which enabled the
bank to realize upon the securities and
give them the benefit therof was also
valid consideration for the signing of
this agreement.

burned, or its rif1ing impaired, it can be
quickly removed and new one supplied,
making practically new gun.
THE vast advantage this gun possess
ses in the feature which permits it to be
quickly knocked down, shipped in sec
tions of moderate weight to any desired
location, and again quickly assembled
will be readily seen.
Another important feature is, it can
be built in a fraction of the time now re-
quired to build cannon by any other
known method. By this system it is
practicable to build gun of 22-inch cali
Der in a much shorter time than it is pos
sible to build gun of ten-inch caliber
l& the present methods.
"The different difficulties which have
heretofore been encountered in the art
of making very heavy cannon are by
this new system met under conditions
which admit of their being practically
and easily overcome or solved, entirely
removing the elements of imperfection
and no longer leaving the construction
of said guns largely to speculation and
chance"
1t will crafty those gallant men
whose duty compelS them to stand by
while one of the enormous guns used
nowadays is fired, with the possibility
ever present of the gun being blown
to fagments, to know that the experts
who have examined the new Blood
gun regard it as the safest as we'll as
the most ingeniously devised piece of
ordnance yet submitted. 1t remains to
be seen now what the severe test which
the gun will have to undergo on the
proving grounds will show.

barrel is subjected to exactly the same
pressure. Hence, the initial tension i'm
parted to the outer steel disks is regu-
lated and distributed throughout the
body of the gun with exact nicely, and
can be relaxed at will, relieving the gun
from the strain of high tension when
desired.
The means now employed to create
the initial strain of large guns do not
possess any feature of certainty or even
means to ascertain the degree of force
applied, and no two of the many forg-
ings which make up a large gun are of
equal tension. Some are overstrained.
some are lax. A want of even tension
compels the parts which are over
strained to meet the force of concussion
without the proper support of the parts
when are lax, and the vibration pro-
duced by the explosion of powder RAPIDLY
cryStallizes the parts under high ten

in bell checks its vibrations. Hence

Blood of Chicago. The most interest
ing feature Of the gun to those who are
not experts in the matter of the force
eXerted by exploding powder on metal,
is that the cannon is constructed in sucn
small sections that it can be carried
around by the artillerymen who use it,.
1t can be taken to pieces and put to-
gether again in an amazingly short
time, and when ready for firing, accord
ing to the claims of the inventor, it is
the strongest cannon ever invented.
Here is what Mr.. Blood says about it:
THE gun is constructed in sections of
moderate weight, each section being
made, not of cast, but of rolled steel
disks, carbOnized to the desired degree.
Each section is ring shaped and of a
size to match the central steel tube,
which is forced into place through these
rings by hydraulic pressure. The sec
tions are held immovably together by
means of steel rods, which are bolted on
crossheads at each end The largest
and heaviest part of the gun is the CEN
tral tube of thin steel containing the
bore. The simplicity and ingenuity of
TINS arrangement Of steel tube fitting
INTO steel rings of tapering size will be
seen at once. When the inner tiSbe ex-
rands with the heat it is only ciasped
the closer in the embrace Of the steel
rings which take up the heat. When
the gun is cold the rings are frightened
by the inner barrel being pressed into
the rings by hydraulic force. the indi-

A Mug and Two Stitches

Frank Martinez is a gay youth, who
went out last night with the avowed
intention of having a good time. In the
course of his peregrinations he encoun-
tered the Mug saloon on South Main
street, between First and Second streets.
Frank stepped in to get glass of beer.
Being of a convivial disposition, he i'm
mediately struck up an acquaintance
with a stranger, an4 a conversation of
a topical nature followed, soon, how
ever, broadening into discussion, and,
last of all, into blows. Frank was cut
on the head with beer glass in the
midst of the melee, and the fighting
topers adjourned to the hospital, where
a ministering angel rendered his good
services, and Frank departed with two
stitches in his head and a partially So
bered brain.

WASHINTON,G Jan. 2.-(Special
Correspondence to The Herald.) The
United States ordnance department has
under consideration a new gun that is
expected to revolutionize the gentle art
of cannon making. The difficulty en-
countered by the makers of heavy ord
nance has always been that when con-
structing gun to be used for firing the
tremendously powerful charges used in
these days it has been impossible to
guarantee that the explosion will not
damage the gun so as to in time render
1t useless. Occasionally the gun. af-
ter being tested by the usual means and
declared to be satisfactory has, when
fired on board ship or in the battery of
q fort, exploded unexpectedly, scatter
Ing death and destruction all around.
So impossible, seemingly, has it been
to make absolutely sure that a gun
turned out of the foundry is fawless
and safe against bursting that the
makers have given up claiming it, and
no an explosion has come to be looked
for periodically and regarded as a mat
ter of course. Moreover. the life of a
gun is not so long as such an expensive
piece of machinery should be. The
constant pounding the gun gets from the
explosions jars it to pieces and makes it
dangerous to handle after few hundred
shots have been fired.
The claim is made that the new gun is
indestructible, and meets all the needs of
heavy ordnance that experts have been
seeking in vain for so long a time to
procure. 1t was invented by Edwin j..

RICH AND POOR ALIKE.

1t may be, after all, that our

bers that we have been taught by
some people to believe.
Just at present we have the
spectacle Of John Jacob Astor, az.
ter having Voluntarily offered to
transport troops free over his rail
roads in Ohio and Illinois, now COM
ing to the front with a battery
which he has himself recruited,
armed and equipped, and Offering
its services to the United States
with himself as It's captain.
Howard Gould, the son OF Jay, is
recruiting a company for the
Twelfth New York, aud is ready to
take the field in his country's ser
vice. Barclay Warburton; son of
the editor and owner of the Phila-
delphia Inquirer, has a battery now
fully organized and equipped and
will lead it into the field. Teddy

York's bluest blooded families, will

of cowboy regiment, The GoeIets
and Mr.. Schermerhorn haye pre-
sented their yachts to the govern
ment.
The spirit thus being manifested
by these patricians of the East
extends throughout the entire
country. Rich young men, as well
as poor, are springing to the front
to bear arms for their country.
They are spending their money in
the cause of patriotism and are
equally ready to give their blood to
the same cause. Who says the
