W|GG|N RET|RES
AS CHASE HEAD

NEW YORK, Dec. % UN.S0
After % years as head of the
Chase National Bank, Albert H.
Wiggin has announced his inten-
ton of retiring as chairman of
the board on January 10. Bank
ing circles were full of rumors
today as to his probable success
sor, the most likely candidate be-
ing Winthrop w. Aldrich who is
now next to Wiggin in the man
agement of the bank.
In announcing his intention to
retire, Wiggin gave his age as the
principal reason. He will be IS
in February. He added that he
was merely anticipating the prac-
tical operation of a plan, now
under consideration, to retire all
officers and employees at that age.
Wiggin will retain his director
ship and other offices he now
holds.
The most likely future develop
ment of the Wiggin's retirement,
which Wall Street has expected
for more than year, will be an
even stronger voice in the banks
management by the interests of
John D. Rockefeller, jr., who has
keen the banks biggest stock
holder since the Chase merged
with the Equitable Trust in 1880.
Winthrop w. Aldrich is Rookie
feller's brother-in.law.

SAGG|NG TREND

ONCURB
BY THEODORE KosLow

by ThEODORE KOSLOW
NEW YORK, Dec. 20 ON.S)
The curb market displayed gen
orally sagging tendencies today,
with the appearance of rather
persistent liquidation, following
a steady opening, carrying the
majority of active trading issues
to moderately lower levels.
Beer Bill Rally Trails
The failure of bulliSh forces
to rally around the successful
passing Of the beer bill through
the House was the signal for
hasty selling by professionals and
traders who had bought for a
turn several weeks ago.
While declines for the most
part were relatively unimportant,
they were sufficient to shake the
confidence of the speculative ele.
ment in any forthcoming rise.
In the utility group, losses were
fractional, with Electric Bond &
Share off u at 171a, American
Gas & Electric off u at 20. and
Consolidated Gas of Baltimore
down v at 64b.
New Cities Service Lows
The Cities Service issues were
carried back to new low ground
on the move, with the common
falling to 23s for a loss of "a,
the preferred showing loss of
a point at Is, and the 5 per
cent debentures of so ruling 70
lower at 34N.
Oils held unchanged on limited
dealings. Specialties were ragged,
Curb bonds were somewhat
steadier.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Nov 22.-The Rochester Times Union. in copy lighted interview with George w.. WickerSham, quoted the former at torney general of the United States and chairman of the National Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement, as viewing prohibi- tion an obvious failure.
 No law can be enforced unless 1t is backed by strong public observ- ance,' ; he stated. The object of prohibition is to create temperance ln habits. This very obviously has failed and if it has, regulation must take it's place. The character of the regulatio nmust be matter of experiment" said Wickersham.

 The release of this correspond ence heretofore withheld by the State Department from the public was considered significant. It tend ed to advance the argument that the debts were just, that the war loans helped win the war and that, therefore, the creditor should re- ceive some consideration
