LAW KEEPING TAB
ON FUNDS FAVORED
Virginia House and Senate Agree
to Bill Offered by Dele
gate Hall.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
RICHMOND, Va. March l0.-The
senate and house have agreed to a
bill offered by Delegate Hall of Lou
doun which directs that all societies,
organizations, firms, drives and other
agencies engaged in collecting funds
from the public for any sort of a
movement must keep a perfect record
of contribution, from whom received,
the amount, for what expended and
to whom paid.
The resolution is the one that
caused a Sharp exchange between
Delegate Hall and the Rev. David
Hepburn. superintendent Of the Anti
Saloon League, when the latter
charged that former Gov. Davis was
responsible for the bill and Delegate
Hall and the former governor made
denials.
The bill provided that the state
accountant and the attorney for the
commonwealth shall have access to
the books at all times.
In the senate this was amended so
that the state accountant and the
attorney general shall have access to
the books. There was no objection,
said Mr.. Hepburn, to responsible
parties seeing the books at any and
all times, but the league did object
to having it's affairs made known to
people who might be inimical and
want the information for political
purposes. The superintendent asked
that the senate concur in the action
of the house in passing the measure,
and the prohibition leaders so voted.

RICHMOND, Va, March 10.-The
bill imposing a tax of $4,000 on labor
agents operating in Virginia has be-
GENE a law. The bill applies to such
