''The Scarlet Empress, starring exotic Marlene Dietrich, will head the splendid double feature pro- gram which Warner Brothers State theater will offer its patrons for three days, starting tomorrow.
 Based on a diary by the glam- orous Catherine the Great of Rus sia, who ruled her country with an iron hand and yet was ruled her self by romantic impulses, 'The Scarlet Empress must be rated spectacle by any standards of judgment. It goes beyond lavish ness of production and artistic beauty, however, in that it is sona of the most gripping dramatic stories yet to reach the screen.
 Miss Dietrich. as Catherine, off, fers a characterization which com pels attention throughout the pie ture. John Lodge, 6 comparative newcomer among leading men scores sdecisively in the role of Count Alexei. Sam Jaffe as the idiotic Grand Duke Peter and Louise Dresser. as Empress Eliza beth likewise make the most of colorful roles.

 The companion feature will be That's Gratitude, authored, acted and directetd by Frank Craven which as play ran for over two years on Broadway, gaining the enviables reputation of being one of the most hilarious comedies of representative American family life ever to be brought to the stage. The screen version, with Frank Craven, still enacting the multiple roles of author-actor-d director. emerges as a wholesome screann- ingIy funny comedy in many ways superior to the original play. v
 The gentle sarcasm of "That's Gratitude" is enacted and unfolded with great finesse, subtle sarcasm, and supefb acting by such veteran troupers as MT Craven himself. long Broadway favorite; Arthur Byron, noted for many a dramatic and comedy. hitin his forty-fiye years on the stage and screen; Hell en Ware, also with an enviable record of thirty years a stage fa- vorite; and three very promising screen newcomers who have made theif marks on Broadway, Sheila Manners, Charles Sabip and John Buckler.. lM s..

It will be noticed that the rates are especially favorable to resi- dences. This is because the first interest of the IVA is in the peo- pie of the valley as a whole rather than in the large commercial or industrial users who up to now have been favored by the private companies. The practice Of the private companies has been to charge small users of electricity around eight and 10 cents kilo- watt hour while charging the large users, especially the mills and fac- tories, only small fraction of the rate.
 At that, the IVA commercial and industrial rates are lower than those of the private com panies. In Knoxville, Tor example, the largest user of electricity is charged around 9 mills while un- der IVA rates it would pay only 2.5.
 MORE POWER SOLD
 In general the IVA rates mean a saving of around 50 per cent. This saving has resulted in in- creased consumption W h e ev CT IVA power is sold. In Tupelo, Miss, for example, first city to buy IVA, consumption increased in six months by 126 per cent.
 One factor in this jump in the use of power is low cost electrical appliances made possible through

BROWN is NAMED
TO GOVERN FIGHTS
Police Chief Is Appointed Mem
Der of Boxing Com
mission.

Maj. Ernest w. Brown, superintend-
ent of police. was appointed today by
the District Commissioners as men,
Der of the District Boxing Commis-
sion.
The decision was reached at an
early morning conference between
Commissioners Hazen and Allen, who
called Maj. Brown into the session.
Official appointment of Maj. Brown
will be made by the Board of Com
missioners as soon as they find time
to hold a formal board meeting.
Mai. Brown accepted the designa-
ton with some reluctance because Of
other responsibilities, Commissioner
Hazen said. The Commissioners de-
termined upon Maj. Browns appoint
ment, they explained, because of their
recognition of the possible evils Of
the boxing business which might de-
velop here If control of the situation
Is not vested with persons Of high in
tegrity.
None Of the three boxing commits
sioners to be named will receive any
compensation for their services. The
law requires that one Of the three
commissioners be a representative OF
the metropolitan police.
Predictions were made at the District
Building today that the Commissioners
most likely would select dark horses"
for appointment of the two civilians
on the commission rather than some
of the candidates who have obtained
numerous Endorsements for their ap-
pointment.
The Commissioners have received
more than rs applications for the two
civilian boxing commission posts.

we'll to be Undersecretary of Agricul-
ture, a new position with a $4,000
salary encountered opposition yester-
day from Chairman Smith of the

which the appointment was referred.
Smith, who expressed displeasure
at the manner in which the legisla-
ton creating the new job was passed,
said he believed the undersecretary
should be qualified by practical ex-
perience as a farmer"
Therefore" he said, pounding his
desk for emphasis. Il am not going
to stand for Mr.. Tugwell, as I don't
believe he has the practical knowledge
essential for him to determine the
things that will relieve agriculture.
II am fighting for agriculture TO
be represented in its administrative
department by a man Of practical
knowledge of agriculture from per-
sonal experience"
Smith said his committee probably
would discuss Tugwells nomination
today.

COMMENT is RESERVED
PENDING CONFERENCE
Japan Impressed as Grew Re
quests Explanation of Chi
nese Situation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press,
The japanese situation was up for
discussion today by President Roose
velt at a luncheon conference with
Secretary Of State Hull.
Mr.. Roosevelt arranged to acquaint
himself intimately with the new
moves by Japan toward China.
The Secretary turned toward the
White House after a thorough study
of the latest announcements by the
Far Eastern government.
Pending the White House parley,
there was no indication of the presi-
dental attitude.
Meanwhile, it was said authorita-
lively that the United States had sent
no official communications to Japan
or any of the nine-power treaty ma
tions concerning Japan's Statement
of policy toward China"
Definite confirmation that the State
Department was still making a care
full study of available texts" of the
japanese declaration. the provisions
of the nine-power treaty and other
pertinent data, and that no immediate
definite action was contemplated by
this Government, came from high
official sources.
The State Department, however
continued to maintain it's policy of
official silence and Undersecretary
Phillips declined to make any official
comment on the days developments.
Phillips said he had no report from
the American Ambassador at Toxic
on his visit to the Japanese foreign
Office today and would make no COM
ment on the purposes of his visit.
Ambassador Grew called on the
foreign minister to obtain an authentic
copy of the japanese statement. 1t
was said he had not discussed the
policy itself or its application to
American interests in China.
Navy Move Link Seen.
Earlier President Roosevelt's move
to expand the Navy had been linked
with Japan's hands of China" policy.
Although officials gave no basis what
soever for the connection, administra-
ton aides were Normed that in Lon
don and other world capitals the two
developments were mentioned in the
same breath.
In accordance with the plan to in
crease the Navy to full treaty strength.
the White House looked to the draft
ing of s1,500. .o0O, 900 request to
Congress, "carry-all" appropriation,
which informed quarters said would
start construction within four months
of 20 ships of war
Under the projected appropriation
bill. the President could throw the
construction program into high gear
quickly. or he could wait. Chairman

BISHOP UNM0VED
BY CLOSING PLEAS
Cannon Hears Counsel At
tack "Character AsSassinS
Imbued With Hatred"

Bishop James Cannon. jr., sat calmly
at the trial table today, apparently
dozing at times, while his attorney
told a District Supreme Court jury
that he was the victim of character
sassins'' imbued with a deep-seated
hatred for the Virginia churchman
and the ideals for which he stands.
The charge was made as the trial
of Bishop Cannon and his secretary,
Miss Ada L. Burroughs, on conspiracy
charges neared its end. They allegedly
entered into a conspiracy to violate
the Federal corrupt practices act by
failing to report all of s65, 300 con-
tribution by E. G. Jameson, wealthy
New Yorker. to their anti-Smith cam
paign in 1923.
The case is expected to go to the
jury this afternoon.
Shows Little Interest.
Bishop Cannon manifested no more
interest in the pleas of his own at
torney, Robert H McNeill, than he
did in the charges made against him
in the arguments of attorneys for the
Government. Part of the time he
slouched across the trial table, while
at other stages he stared indefinitely
at the spectators in the trial room.
Declaring his client and Miss Bur-
roughs are entitled to the presumption
of innocence, McNeill leaned toward
the jury and shouted:
When Bishop Cannon walked
through that door to meet the hatred
and vituperation of his enemies. he
was presumed to be innocent. And
that same presumption extends to
this little woman from Virginia, a
victim of the enemies of her friend" :"
Attacks Prosecutor.
McNeill dwelt at some length on an
assertion made yesterday by Assistant
United States Attorney John j. Will
son that the Virginia churchman, SO
years old, was born with a hatred
of the corrupt practices act in his
heart" Pointing out the act was not
passed until 1925, the defense attorney
insisted the statement was significant
of the mental attitude of the prose-
cutor.
During the past three years." he
shouted, ''an unconscious hatred has
grown up in the breast of this prose-
cutor. 1t is a hatred of Bishop Can
non, contempt for his name-a de-
sire to unfrock and humiliate him
and to pull him down from the high
estate to which he has risen after
40 years toll and suffering There are
nobler motives for an officer of the
Government than these"

day to take a direct appeal to Presi-
dent Roosevelt for relief TO care for

over to them when the Federal relief

out of poor people" by encouraging
additions to the relief rolls, State Re-
lief Administrator w. R. Dyess
charged the judges with playing

and by their secretary. r. M. Ruthven
