question the ruling of Comptroller
General j. R. McCarl-a ruling
which any full-blooded American

State Executes
San Diego Slayer

FOLSOM PRISON. Calf. May
"a. UP)-Tullie McQuate. 33-year-
old San Diegan VINO murdered an
elderly woman for $3.50, dropped
through the gallows trap at 1901
a. m. today and was pronounced
dead IL minutes later.
He paid with his life for the bru-
tai Staying of Ella Straw, whose
body he dismembered, stuffed in
gunny sacks and threw into San
Diego bay last October.
Betraying no emotion as he left
his death cell after a sleeplesS
night, McQuate strobe steadily be-
tween Warden Court Smith and
prison guards on the long walk
from his cell to the execution
chamber.
AS he approached the stairway
leading to the gallowS platform, he
requested that guards loosen their
hold on his arms.
II want to walk up those steps
alone, warden" he said.
His request was granted.
He made no other comment as
he mounted the steps and walked
through the doorway leading di-
rectly onto the trap platform. War
den Smith motioned toward the
trap and indicated that McQua;e
should step upon it. The condemn
ed man glanced quickly at 20 wit
nesses assembled below, then step
ped onto the trap.
Almost instantly one guard ad-
justed the moose around his neck,
another whipped black hood over
his head, and the trap was sprung.
McQuate, unable to sleep last
night, asked for deck of cards
and spent the night playing soli-
taire. He wrote no letters and left
no messages.

OMPROM|SE
ON BONUS IS
POSSIBILITY
Proponents OF Patman Measure
Seeking Some M ct h cd OF
Getting Bill Through

WASHINGTON, May "a. UP) -
The only bonus legislation possible
at the present session of congress
would be a compromise based on
the present value of adjusted SER
vice certificates, it was said today
in administration quarters.
New deal' leaders, encouraged
by the ease with which the Patman
bonus bill was crushed in the sem
ate yesterday, said there was no
chance of enactment of a measure
calling for full and immediate cash
payment.
The only possibility, they said,
would be some settlement based on
the compromise offered by Sena-
tor Pat Harrison, CDem) Missis-
sippi, and rejected during senate
consideration of the Patman and
Vinson bonus bills.
One signiflc an t development
which followed the 54 to 40 vote
which upheld the President yes
terday with eight more votes than
he needed, was the definite trend
toward separating the bonus issue
from the initiation issue.
Much of the opposition to the
Patman bill was based on the as
sertion that it would start the
printing presses rolling toward un-
controllable initiation. This was de-
MED by the Patmanites, but it was
made the reason for number of
votes against the bill.
The leading bonus proposal now
is that of Sen. Bennett Champ
Clark, (Dem), Missouri, who will
attempt to have the senate rules
suspended in order to attach bo-
nus rider to the pending navy ap-
preparations bill.
A two-thirds vote is required for
such a procedure.

Milk Institute

That the milk institute of Impe-
rial Valley is coming to be recog-
nized by the dairyman as a vital
factor in the development of the
dairy industry in Imperial county
is evidenced by a letter received to-
day by Fred Nebel- -Thau, chairman
of the membership committee OF
the milk institute, from E. Richter,
a practical dairyman of Holtville.
Dairylnan Richter says in his
communication to Nebel- -Thau, En-
closed you will find 25c in pay
ment of a membership for the milk
institute. Please send my member
ship certificate" Nebel-Thau at
once sent Richter his certificate
and urged him to attend all meet
ings of the organization.
"It is gratifying" said President
Walter 3. Havekorst of the milk
institute, ito have this recognition
from a practical dairyman who ap-
parently realizes what the business
men of Imperial Valley are endeav-
oring, through the milk institute, to
do for the dairy interests of Impe-
rial Valley. Further development
of the dairy industry here is going
to require a lot of leaders. There
are many problems to be solved if
we are to enlarge our markets and
secure increased prices for our
dairy products.

PRISONER HAS
FUN CLAIMING
To Be KARP|S

CHICAGO, May "a. W.R-Jack
Loque had his day of fun but it's
all over now.
Loque is travelling from Vale,
Ore, to Memphis in company of
Police Sergeant A. o. Clark, who
says he is wanted on burglary
charge. The two took an airplane
yesterday from Boise, Ida, to Chi
cago.
Bored, Loque diverted himself by
informing persons here and there
enroute that he was Alvan Karpis,
a person of considerably more no.
toriety than any Memphis second
story man. He spoke SO convinc-
ingly that a United Airlines pilot
radioed his Chicago superiors that
the nations No. l pubic enemy was
aboard his ship.
Loque was almost as surprised as
Sergeant Clark when department
of justice agents, newspaper pho
tographers and reporters, and a
mob of the curious swarmed about
them in Chicago. Loque thought
it was funny. Clark didn't.
"I didn't know he was putting
out such a line" Clark said. "In
see if he can't be kept a little less
humorous today"
Clark said Loque probably will
be extradited eventually to New
Orleans to face a burglary charge
there.

A discordant note was struck in
the otherwise orderly meeting when
speaker attempted to dissuade the
veterans from undertaking the
march.
Nothing I can think of would
injure your cause more with the
public than to make march on
Washington" shouted Robert F.
Jones, who identified himself as
a former marine.
"I ask that all in favor of a

all the senators and congressman

said. 1--WE will take food as the
