BRANDING OF SYKES IS PROVED FRAME-UP In a signed statement of what he avers to be the truth concerning the circumstances of an attack made on him in his room October 22, when lodine was used to brand the letters U. S. C. on his forehead, William Sykes, a former soldier and a student at the southern branch of the U. C. charges that his own classmates perpetrated the outrages to "get even" with Sykes for fancied indifference to student honor and also as a "frame-up" on U. S. C. The branding of Sykes, who was tied to his bed and gagged by three assailants, created an acute situation in which resentment and antagonism developed to a high pitch among the student bodies of the two institutions. For some time after the attack, which followed the burning by S. C. students followed burning by U. S. C. students versity branch classmen for a bonfire on the university branch campus and a free for all fight, it was thought that injurious acids had been used to burn the initials into the forehead of the student and former soldier. In his statement, made public recently, Mr. Sykes asserts that his failure to participate with fellow-students in defense of the bonfire material, resulted in a scheme to punish him, and at the same time place the blame on students of the rival institution. His charge is supported by another student of the university branch, Robert Millward Fellows, who, in a signed stament, asserts he overheard classmates complaining of the failure of Sykes and another student to participate in the battle between the two student bodies and that the comment branding was a frame-up against the University of Southern California, exclusively by and among the students of the University of California Southern Branch. "I immediately after this event happened I informed Mr. Beekman, executive secretary to Dr. E. C. Moore, director, that I was confident that the University of Southern California had nothing to do with it whatever. "I am making this statement freely and voluntarily and in fairness to your university, and for correcting the public, as far as within me lies, the injustice done to an innocent party.

S. C." The statements by Sykes and Fellows were obtained after investigation by police detectives and Pflakerton operatives directed by Attorney M. W. Bowen, representing the University of Southern California. Mr. Bowen submitted a report of his investigation and findings to the university authorities. Considerable satisfaction was expressed by students and officials of U. S. C. over the apparent solution of the mystery attack and the subsequent absolution of all blame thereafter attaching to the students of the University of Southern California. The statement by Sykes is addressed "to the student body of the University of Southern California and is as follows: "In order to, as far as possible, repair and rectify the irreparable injury done your institution in reason of being held responsible by the public for the branding of my face on October 22, 1922, this is to inform you that the 30-Day Sale Price $52.00 TAPPAN ECLIPSE GAS RANGES 30-Day Sale Price $52.00 The Sale That is Taking the City by Storm The sale that is talked about here, there and everywhere—the sale where real value abounds and you get a range of real quality at a reduction."

Within its boundaries lie the highest and lowest points in the States. Mount Whitney rises 14,502 feet above sea level, while Death Valley sinks almost 400 feet below sea level. And here are mountains, rich in mineral and timber resources, valleys of amazing fertility, world-famous harbors, cities teeming with industrial activity, lovely homes and contented people.

The total annual income from the field and tree crops of this State is $587,600,591. Dairying adds an income of $99,004,358.
