Telegraph communication between
this city and Los Angeles is still in
terrupted, except that few dispatches
have been received by way of Den
yer and Ell Paso. The great storm
which visited the coast is now report
ed in the Middle West, where it is
causing great delay in telegraph serv-
ice, and several hours must elapse
between this valley and the coast.
Meagre reports came today that
hint at, rather than describe, the
heavy damage done on the coast by
the storm, but it is evident it was the
worst storm in the history of the
southern coast.

New Bonus Vote Offer
For the Next Two Weeks
CLUBS OF SIX NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS MORE
EXTRA VOT TES-THE PRIZE HUPMO
ARRIVES IN Ell CENTRIC.

A big shakeup in the score list to-
night resulted from the rush of bus
mess at contest headquarters Satur-
day when the bonus vote offer for a
total of five years in new subscriptions
expired. A number of popular can
. didates did remarkably well, especial
ly during the last few days of the
offer, and a surprisingly large num-
Der of new subscriptions were turned
in.
Candidates are requested to let their
friends know that every effort will be
made to get all these new subscrip-
tions started promptly, but confusion
and delay is scarcely to be avoided
when the carrier boys have so many
new addresses given them each day.
If errors are called attention to
promptly they will be corrected
promptly.
New Bonus Offer.
Some candidates found it impossible,
on account of the mud, to reach some
of their friends who would have sub
scribed in time to help on the bonus
vote offer that expired last Satur-
day, so they will be glad to hear of
the new offer whict will be in force
during the next two weeks.
All who turn in a total of six new
subscriptions, each for one year OF
more, before o'clock Saturday night
March 7th, will be awarded 10000
extra votes. Subscriptions to count
toward the offer need not all be

Father Cruelty
Horsewhips Son

Charles H. Smith, who conducts .
small grocery store at 722 Brighton
street, was arrested at noon today by
Deputy Sheriff E. E. Cummings on a
charge of battery, the man having
cruelty horsewhipped his 17-year-ol1
son.
According to the story told to Sher'
iff Mobley Meadows and represen-
tative of The Press, the boy, How
ard, was sent to collect bill at about
1880 o'clock Sunday evening. He re-
turned in about an hour, but found
the house locked up and his father
would not arise and let him in. The
lad slept in the yard on small pile
of straw and at daylight the father
took him to task for being so long
on his mission the night before. Be-
coming angry, the man took buggy
whip and cut his son about the chest,
back and arms, great welts and gashes
showing that the boy had been struck
over fifty times.
Harold, neighbors say, did not try
to run away from the beating, but
stood UP under it all, only moaning
and begging his father to stop. After
becoming tired of welding the lash
the parent sent the boy about his work
of soliciting orders. At the house
where Harold had been sent to make
the collection the people noticed that
the boys hands were cut and bleed
ing. They asked him what caused the
wounds, whereupon he told his story.
This was communicated to Sheriff
Meadows, who located the lad and took
him to st. Thomas hospital, where
DR.. McCombs applied soothing la
ton and dressed the open sores.
Harold is one of three motherless
boys-Ray, 10; Harold, and Wallace,
aged 13. The mother died ten years
ago. When news of the affair was
received on the streets, considerable
feeling was expressed and until the
man was placed behind the bars it
was feared that the more bold spirits
would administer the same treatment
to the father that he had to his son.
Smith, when arrested, stated that

turned in at the same time. The bo-
nus may be won more than once by
the same contestant, provided she
turns in enough subscriptions during
the period named.
Full year extensions of new sub
scriptions turned in prior to the an
nouncement of this offer will count
toward the bonus.
The Prize Hup Arrives.

awarded as Capital Prize in The
Press contest has arrived in Ell Cen

porary oil, relief bill, the measure is
now practically law and soon will be
signed by the president. - -.
Hundreds of oil operators in Kern
and Fresno counties will be able to re-
sumo business after a tie-up for many
months caused by litigation with the
government over titles to their claims.
The new law will allow all claimants
to oil land titles to continue production
pending settlement of their titles on
payment of a royalty of one-eighth of
the production to the government
Those claimants who perfect their
titles will have the ROYALTIES refunded.
The other Church bill, now on the
house calendar, which provides for
leasing on one-eighth royalty of oil
claims to which titles cannot be per-
fected, probably will be tackled on as
an amendment to the house public
lands general leasing bill and passed
with that measure this session.
