CHINESE DIES
On CALLOWS

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Calf
Feb. 9. U.P)-Quang Shick, Colusa
Chinese, died on the San Quentin
gallows today, the first of his race
to be executed in California in II
years.
The Oriental was convicted of the
murder of Lee Wee Cue, a laundry
man. 1t was said they quarreled
over the purchase of some rice
cakes.
Quang Shick met death calmly
He mounted the galloWs at 1902 a.
m. The trap was sprung and at
1914 the Chinese was pronounced
dead.
Quank Shicl., it was said, went to
his fate deserted by his tong which
made no effort to save his life. 1t
was said the tong leaders forsook
Shick because he previously had
served a prison term for robbery.
The Chinese kept the faith of his
fathers to the end, although he ac-
cepted the comfort of Father Will
liam J. Meade, Catholic chaplin OF
the prison.
Warden James Holohan asked
Shick if he desired to see the priest.
1T would be very pleasing plea
sure to one so lowly," the doomed
man replied.
Father Meade spent several hours
with Shick in the death cage off
the gallows room last night. Today
he walked with the Oriental to the
gallows. Shicks expression did not
change as he mounted the 13 steps,
He took his place on the trap with
no show of emotion.

BY RONALD G. VAN TINE
BY United Press


WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. = T n e
senate today ordered the immedi-
ate arrest of William P. MacCrack-
en-, Jr., after the former assistant
secretary of commerce had chal-
lenged the senate's constitutional
right to question him further re-
garding airmail contracts.
On a motion by Majority Leader
Robinson, proceedings against three
officials of major airline companies,
summoned to appear with Mac
Cracken, were suspended until the
Hoover administration official can
be brought before the bar of the
senate.
MacCracken, in a letter to Vice
President Garner, refused to appear
before the senate on the ground
that the senate's functions were
legislative and not judicial
"The court has held that pun
ishment for completed acts is ju-
dicial junction." MacCracken IS let
ter said. ITO appear would give
assent and voluntary aid to VIOLA
ton of my constitutional right.
Therefore I respectfully decline to
APPEAR
The dramatic move of the central
figure in the contempt proceedings
which the senate was to hear to-
day was interpreted by those pres
ent as indicating that he had chos-
en- to take his fight to the local
courts.
MacCracken IS communication in
cluded long statement which he
said he intended to read had he
elected to appear. 1t was defense
of his contention that documents
in his office relating to negotiations
with a number of major airline
companies were privileged between
a lawyer and his clients, and un-
der the law, could not be divulged
without waivers from the clients
involved.
"There is no such thing in my
office,'' the statement said, "as an
airmail or ocean mail contract
file.o
Chairman Black of the special
senate committee which has been
investigating airmail contracts Off
cred the order proposing Mac
Cracken S arrest.
1t was adopted after brief OBJ
lection by Senator Borah CRepD Id
aho.
McCracken and three officials of
major airline companies were cited
to appear before the bar of the SEN
ate today to show cause why they
should not be punished for con-
tempt of the senate.
MacCracken directly challenged
the power of the senate to impose
punishment for acts already COM
pleted" and held that, under SUI
preme court rulings, the courts
alone had such power
He cited supreme court rulings
to the effect That the congresSion-
al bodies could only force compli-
ance with their orders when needed
to preserve the legislative power.
Their authority, he charged, ex-
tended only to the point of de-
Tending the legislative function by
compelling compliance with their
orders.

To TRY AGAIN

Financially embarrassed and de-
termined to end it all by throwing
himself under the wheels of a
train, Glenn Bagwell, %, Phoenix
salesman had this idea talked out of
his head by Sheriff George Camp
bell yesterday and was sent back to

here and registered at a local hotel
several days ago. Feeling the pinch
of circumstances and afraid to re-
turn to his wife and parents in
Phoenix, Bagwell got in touch with
friends in San Bernardino from
whom he tried to borrow some
money This effort proving unsuc-
cessful, BagWell is said to have
sent his life insurance policy and
other papers to these people, tell
ing them of mis- intentions to kill
himself.
Upon the receipt of these papers
the friends told the sheriff of San
Bernardino VINO Immediately sent a
teletype message to Campbell and
BagWell was brought to the jail
yesterday where under the care of
the sheriff he soon changed his
mind
Upon learning of Bagwell S in
, tention not to take his own life the
sheriff communicated with hi S
family in Phoenix who instructed
the county official to place Bagwell
on the stage and they would meet
him upon his arrival in Phoenix.
The sheriff said today that evi-
IDENTIFY the trip had been made
without any further difficulties as
no word has been received at this
office to the contrary.
