for the Staying of two fellow con-
Victs. The trap was sprung at
1901 a. m, and Garcia was de-
clared dead 10 minutes later.
1t was the first execution ever
held at the prison on any day other
than the traditional Friday.

to avoid execution by committing
suicide several days ago, Garcia
was comparatively cheerful this
morning and was calm as he en-
tered the death chamber

George Hall, Siskiyou county, and
William E. Tanner, Los Angeles,
were the only occupants under
death sentence.
When he mounted the scaffold,
Garcia looked at the so witnesses
and said Hello there, everybody"

Quentin prison from San Fran
cisco, Garcia was transferred to
Folsom as incorrigible. In Octo-
ber, 1888, he fatally stabbed Juan
Garcia and Stanley C. Price, Los
Angeles convicts, while the prison
ers were listening to a broadcast
of q world series baseball game.

beat the moose" by slashing his
wrists with a small piece OF tin, but
prison officials discovered his con-

BAR RED TAPE
IN NEW RELIEF
BY International News servics

BY International News servics
State, county and municipal
Iawmaking bodies will have to
cut the ~red tape" governing
public works if they wish to re-
ceive full benefit of the new
four-billion-doll emergency Fed
eral public works relief pro
gram, it was made clear today
in Administration circles.
1t was pointed out that the
fund President Roosevelt asked
Congress to appropriate is for
emergency relief work for the un-
employed; that direct relief ends
in June if Congress follows the
Presidents edict that "the Fed
eral Government must quit this
business of direct relief" The pro-
gram proposes the substitution of
work relief for direct cash relief.
To have work projects ready for
the "go-ahead" signal by June, the
States, counties and municipalities
must have all legal blockadeS out
of the way.

Supporters of the latter theory

He will bring up his resolution
at the first meeting of the Sen

demand appointment of a Subcom'

inquiry.
Under his proposal. the commit

2. Whether the NRA or its codes

3. Whether in the latter event
legislation is needed to bolster the

4. Whether existing antitrust

DUT with the arrival of prohibition the Constitu-

gan to suffer in the opinion of the people. Under
prohibition an amendment to the Constitution was
made the for the most brutal violations of the
constitutional rights of the ordinary people

not MS speakeasy, mind you-but his very home
where he lived with his wife and children on the
mere suspicion that he there possessed little as
dram of liquor containing more than one-half OF
one per cent of alcohol by volume.
At the slightest show of resentment the agents
of the Constitution might slug him the head, and
If the agents got excited they might kick his wife
IN the stomach before the eyes of the children That
was the sort of thing which the Constitution came
to represent to the people during Mr. Hoovers many
years in Washington cabinet member and Presi-
dent And never to this very day, has he been
heard to utter so much syllable in disapproval
AS result the people developed a very cheap
opinion of the Constitution. Even Army officers who
required to their to the Constitution
every year, would do with lie in their hearts
and go on drinking contrary to their word of honor,
which is serious matter to an Army officer.
