WORK FOR
 ACCOUNTANTS Returns By Corporations to , State Must Be Certified

Hartford. March 13.-A bill in which corporations are, or at any rate should be, interested is now in the possession of the committee on interpretations, its title being House bill No. 576, an act concerning the certifcation of accounts of corporations which offer their bonds or stocks for sale" It was introduced by Representative Bishop of New Ha- ven "by request
 The first section which is the vital part of it, reads as follows: That all corporations of the state of Connec- ticut or foreign corporations, or cor porationS of other states doing busi- ness in the state of Connecticut, upon issuing any financial statement invit- ing the purchase of it's stock or bonds, or furnishing statements to the off cials of the state of Connecticut for the purposes of taxation shall be re- quired to have said statements veri- fled and certified to by certified pub lie accountant.''
 The second section provides a pen atty of not less than $500 nor more than $1 900 fine for violations of the law and even larger fines for the official or accountant who shall give out an in correct report. The passage of the bill would raise a question, first wheth- ef any advertisement by corporation of it's financial statement might not be considered as inviting the purchase of it's stock or bonds, but there is no ques- tion as to the purpose of the clause re- garding returns to the state officials, for that is broad and comprehensive. The mutual life and fire insurance companies, the trust companies, state, national and savings banks are includ- ed and apparently the railroad, tele- graph, telephone and express compan- ies are embraced also, together with all other concerns which make a re- turn for taxation purposes to state of fcialS.
 No one can say just how much of an examination a certified accountant would feel obliged to make in order that he might certify to the correct ness of the statement which the cor poration might feel impelled to issue, it might cover a period of years or it might not, according to the option of the accountant. but the accountant in any event would be master of the sit uation, as no statement could be is sued without his permission.
 Just what wages a certified public accountant is to receive is not speci- fled in the bill, but aside from the cost it is likely that most of the cor porat tionS affected will not care to have an addition made to their office force through the operations of House bill No. 576

 Galveston, Texas, March 13.-If Jack Johnson, the negro heavyweight cham pion brings his white wife with him to Texas law forbidding whites and blacks to marry. Then there may be other things that will add to the gaie- ty of Jacks reception as he was said to have another wife living here but Johnson claims he was legally divorc- ed from her. The superior court has held that the state has a right to pre- vent the union of blacks and whites and impose penalties even if they were married in state permitting such marriages.
