PRINCE OF WALES ; ON NEWSPAPERS
Expresses Surprise at Many
 Angles of the Business

London. Feb. 4.-The Prince of Wales has just been initiated into the complexities of modern newspaper pro- dIct:on by visi'ing the offices of :he Times and following piece of copy from an editors desk through the composing. proof-reading and stereo- typing room. Then he pressed the starting button of a mammoth octupie press and saw the article reproduced in print.
 The first folded paper which came from the roaring machine was handed the royal visitor who smiled as he saw on the front page a picture of himself with a caption stating that he had started the machinery which printed it.
 Throughout his inspection of the many departments of the great news paper office, the Prince kept up a rapid fire of questions which showed his keen interest in the art of newspaper making.
 The difference between various kinds of automatic typesetting machines, the amount of time saved by their substl- tuition for the old hand setting method, why cylindrical moulds of the original type forms are placed on the presses instead of the flat chases of type them selves, the spread of the presses and the length of a roll of newsprint were among the points on which the prince was curious.
 He marveled at the ability of make up men. to read type upside down and failed to recognize a three column cut of himself in the form he was endeavoring to read. In the compos- ing room he picked up slug of type as it came from a linotype machine. but found it too hot to hold.
 John Walter, chairman of the Times. and wickham Stead, editor, served as guides to the. prince. The directors of the newspaper. several departmental heads and a small number of visitors invited for the occasion, were present. ed to him. With each he chatted short time, discussing individual avoca- ttons, business, sport and travel, in his usual simplicity of manner.
 The prince is the second heir to the throne to visit Printing House Square. In 1863. the late King Edward, then Prince of Wales, made similar in- spection of the Times plant

STATE ACCOUNTING
Governor Lake Confers with Comp trOllcr BisSeu Relative to New Department In His Office.

Hartford, Feb. Ex-Governor Lake has made suggestions to Comptroller Bissell in connection with the plan for esta blishment of a system of ac- counting. He thinks that there ought CTS office given up entirely to the ac- counting system and that duplicates of the accounts of all the institutions and departments in the state should be kept there. The government is in siStent on the greatest publicity be- ing given to the accounts and that they be at all times accessible to the public.
 "If anyone furnishes materials for changes or repairs in the capitol or other state buildings his competitors in business should be able to see how much was paid the state for mate rials," said the governor in illustrat- ing his point.
 It is expected that the bill will be originated in some legislative com mittee-possibly the committee on finance-to give effect to the govern or's views.
 If the bill becomes law and the proposed system of accounting is adopted it will be necessary to in- crease the floor space of the comp troller's department. Governor Lake has suggested that the cpmptroller take the entire suitsx rooms ex-. tending from the .eas Ne of tho capitol to the door side. @ag
