STATE

Performances this evening at Warner Bros. State theater conclude the engagement of Cafe Society" with Madeleine Carroll, Fred Mac Murray and Shirley Ross in the leads; also Sylvia Sidney in "One Third of a Nation"
 Tomorrow the State ushers in one of the most important of its long list of spectacular Init parade" shows. The headliner of the bill is a picture that everyone has been waiting for, Dark Victory" a pie ture that sets a new mark in motion picture entertainment and starring Bette Davis, the two-time winner of the Academy award in what is said to be her greatest triumph.
 It presents Miss Davis as the ill., starred heroine of one of most beau tiful romances ever unfolded upon the screen. It is a story of great love and dauntless courage, both pitted against an implicable fate, and it offers the brilliant star what she considers the greatest role of her very impressive career.
 While the character portrayed by Miss Davis might still dominate the narrative even if played by lesser actress than the matchless Bette, so compelling is the role, the pro duction is by no means a one-woman picture. It has supporting cast that is fully worthy of its gifted star and the brilliance of her perform ance serves to inspire them all to a superlative pitch of excellence.
 Playing opposite Miss Davis is George Brent, and in uniting with her to bring this moving romance to the screen he has the most sym- pathetic role of his notable career. Humphrey Bogart in his first sym pathetic role, is different than he has ever appeared before and proves that he is not only an ace bad man but a superb actor. The most in- teresting personality in the cast, aside from the star, is the new find" Geraldine Fitzgerald, who appears in the second feminine lead.

POLl'S

Don Ameche brings another im- mortal character to the motion pie ture gallery of the great in the title role of "The Story of Alexander Graham Bell" opening tomorrow at the Loew Poli theater for an en- gagement of four days.
 Ideally cast as the young genius who invented the telephone, inspir- ed by the unfailing devotion of a beautiful young girl, the popular actor offers his greatest portrayal in this stirring romantic drama which symbolizes the tradition of America.
 Sharing stellar honors with him in the big hit, are Loretta Young, as the deaf Mabel Hubbard, whose affliction was the inspiration for his great accomplishment; and Henry Fonda as Thomas Watson, the un- tiring and devoted assistant who shared the early years of hope and struggle of Alexander Graham Bell
 Poverty, starvation, disappoint- ment and ridicule were faced by the young dreamer. So intense was the struggle that he halted on the threshold of his great invention, ready to sacrifice it so that he might find happiness with the girl whose love kept the flame of his genius alight through the years. It was she who made him go on.
 Important supporting rolls of the picture go to Charles Coburn, Gene Lockhart, Spring Byington and the three sisters of Loretta Young, Sal- ly Elane, Polly Ann Young and Georgiana Young.
 On the same program is another smash hit, Street of Missing Men," with Charles Bickford and child actor, Tommy Ryan.

 The conference of Senate Democratic committee with Gov. Baldwin took up so much time yesterday that the upper house adjourned without taking up busi- ness listed for action on its daily calendar.
 The Waterbury city manager referendum bill has been turned over to the printer, and will prob- ably not be ready for study by senate members until at least early next week.
 A large crowd appeared before the appropriations committee yes- terday to oppose Gov. Baldwin's plan for drastic curtaflment of the states educational program. Only two persons spoke in favor of the proposal.

DAMAGED BY FIRE
Discovered BY NeighbOr Who
Turned In Alarm-NO One
At Home At Time

A fire, reported at the p. F. Nc
Namara home about twenty min
utes to eleven last week Thursday
evening, did considerable damage
to the home and its contents. The
flames had gained considerable
Roadway before they were discov-
cred by a neighbor.
Mrs. Mcnamara, who, during the
absence Of her husband, was stay
ing at the home Of her daughter,
Mrs. w. Otto, had fixed the fire
for the night and had left her home
quite sometime before. It Is thought
that the fire in the furnace had
been smothered, and that gas FORM
ed and caused an explosion.
The fire came up alongside a reg
lister, went along underneath the
floor to a stairway. continued up
along the wall to the caves. It
was discovered when the neighbor
saw smoke emanating from the
house when the fire broke through
the wall.
Intense heat in the house blister
ed furniture and woodwork. The
fire had gained such Roadway that
1t was impossible to extinguish
quickly and the department exper-
fenced considerable difficulty in
subduing the flames. The fact that
the house was saved was a feat In
itself.

Dunn Attacks High Gas
Tax, Hits Waste
Chairman of Committee
Cites 26 Million Spent
Only As Miles Of Paving

Vigorous opposition to continu-
ing the Accent gasoline tax was
voiced today by Representative
Roy e. Dunn, chairman Of the
house rules committee, in a speech
assailing highway waste.
Governor Harold e. Stassen had
recommended the Accent tax be con.
tinued If the one mill road and
bridge tax is repealed. But Dunn
differed sharply, in a speech deliv-
cred over WCCO Tuesday at 6:15
p. m.
Somewhere, sometime, somehow
we must start cutting taxes" Dunn
said. Here is the place to make
a beginning"
He called highway administration
shameful chapter" and recited:
With $26,000,000 to spend last
year, only As miles Of concrete paw
ing was laid. In 1885, when the
gas tax was 8 cents, 1873 miles of
paving was constructed.
Last year, with the 4-cent tax
in effect, $50 miles of bituminous
were built, as against 476 miles in
1896 when the tax was 3 cents.
It took $11, 000, 900 last year just
to maintain the system, or almost
81 900 q mile.
Highway payrolls were loaded
with campaigners, attorneys and
publicity men, contracts were let
among a handful Of bidders, mil
lions of dollars in material bought
without open bidding, he said.
Dunn declared contractors have
set up a Highway Institute" stir
ring up sentiment for continuing
the Accent tax, spreading "propa-
ganda" among county officials.
If necessary, he said, he would
favor postponing all paving for a
year or two.

Solons Ready To Carry
Out Stassen Ideas
Legislators Begin Work on
Economy Program as Re-
queSted BY Governor.

With Governor Stassen's budget
proposals now before them, men,
bers of the Minnesota Legislature
buckled down to work in earnest
this week upon the big task Of
carrying out the governors pro-
gram.
From both the senate and house
came assurance that the legisla-
ture will cooperate with the gov
ernor in his announced desire
that the state shall spend less
money during the next two years.
Senator Charles N. Orr, majority
leader in the senate, and Roy E.
Dunn, majority leader in the
house, said the legislators general
ly are in accord with the COVER
nor's request to hold expenditures
down.
Governor Stassen in his mes
sage to the legislature submitted a
budget which calls for q reduction
in expenditures for this biennium
over the last Of $3,O39,372, or a
total of $79HOO,823 as compared
with $50, 340.195. Increases are in
evitable in some funds, as in the
case of old age assistance, the
governor said, but these increases
were more than offset by reduc-
tions.
AS evidence of the efforts being
made to save money in the opera
ton of departments, Stassen point
ed out that M. ]. Hoffman, the
new highway commissioner, is
making plans now to maintain the
highways this year with $1,000 900
instead Of $114679,O00 spent last
year.
2 Many of the legislators are
looking with favor on q proposal
the governor made that the funds
which must be borrowed to finish
up the present biennium until
July LIST be borrowed. Stassen said
that $4,000, 900 must be appropriate
ed to make up the deficiencies for
the biennium which began July list,
1887.
"This issue Of indebtedness
might well be called the farmer
labor deficiency bond issue to
distinguish it from the problems
Of our own biennium," he said.
The work Of the legislature 30
far has been confined largely to
preliminary committee sessions.
Only few bills have been passed.
Virtually all major proposals still

and rates went back to $500 per
hundredweight on cattle weighing
over 700 pounds. New quotas will
not be opened again until about

most classes of killing cattle were
depressed, due largely to the
sluggishness in the beef trade
