Excessive Drinking

Society Mentor

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Miss
Elsa Maxwell, who has made an
international name for herself as
manager of society parties, has
returned from Europe with two
ideas for enlivening American So
cial life.
With the repeal of prohibition,
American society will not need
much stimulation, in the opinion
of this social mentor. She said:
American parties ought to be
better in the future. because
there will be better liquor, and
therefore less drunkenness.
Americans have yet to learn
that good wines are as much a
part of a dinner as the food.
TEMPERANCE SEEN
"With drinking permitted

the guests to fill themselves at

The two ideas Miss Maxwell has

Returning to Washington Byrns

"If an effective arrangement

"Many industries, particularly
small industries, must have aid

Byrns was optimistic over the
future. He said business men in
the South had noticed an upturn
in business.
The prices of products of farm

There is, however, no such resent

Hearing Tomorrow
BY international News Service

BY International News Service
Albert H. Virgins, who made a
fortune out of speculation in Wall
Street securities while head of the
Chase National Bank, utilized the
market operations of a personal
trading company to avoid Federal
income taxes in the boom years,
the Senate banking inquiry will
be told when it resumes tomorrow.
Wiggin was reported to have
escaped heavy taxes through a
short sales 2ccount in his Sher-
mar Corporation in 1929 and
1880. His plan was said to have
been legal, since a like scheme,
used by William Ewing, a part
ner in j. P. Morgan and Com
pany, was approved by the In
ternal Revenue Bureau.
Big Tax Paid
Wiggin paid large personal in
come taxes in 1929. 1880, 1881,
and 1882, he declared.
He would not discuss the in
come tax situation Of his per-
sonal corporations, one of which
was the Sherman, although it
was known he used these corpo--
rations for most Of his market
transactions.
The Senate inquiry has stamped
Wiggin as one of the greatest
operators on Wall Street, despite
his former reputation as Amer
ica's leading commercial banker.
While directing affairs OF the
bank, he participated in the syn
dicate operations Of Kuhn, Loeb
& Co., in 13 bond and four stock
issues.
He appeared on four Of the j.
p. Morgan & Co. favored client"
lists. He sponsored the activities
Of the Chase Securities Corpora
ton and Metpotan Corporation in
trading in Chase Bank stock.
Operations Secret
He operated secretly through
his personal corporations.
Wiggin drew down profit OF
$1O,425, ,657 from 1928 to 1882 from
his operations in Chase Bank
stock through three personal cor
porations.
It was this revelation that pro-
voked Winthrop w. Aldrich, new
head of the Chase bank, to de-
nounce Virgins policies for using
bank affiliates in plugging the
market for Chase stock.
In 1881, incidentally, Wiggm
obtained a profit Of $4,198, 1872
from his Sherman Corporations
deals in Chase stock while the
banks affiliate. the Metpotan
Corporation, was losing $2,103,591
by trying to plug the market.
Wiggin technically put up
$1,20O,OOO to finance his bond
deals and $279,500 to finance his
stock deals while participating in
Kuhn, Loeb g. Co. syndicates.
His colleagues in these deals
were men like Percy Rockefeller,
Newcomb Carleton, L. F. Loree,
Charles F.. Mitchell and the War
burg brothers. His participation
exceeded that of all the others,
except Rockefeller.

DES MONIES, Ia, Oct. 80
GN.SD-A revolutionary three
point program for restoration OF
prosperity to the farmer was de-
manded by E. E. Kennedy, a
leader of the national farm strike
movement, at the midweStern gov
ernors' conference on agriculture
here today.
Three-POint Plan
/. That the President OF the
United States declare a mora
torium on all mortgage foreclos-
ures and evictions until prices
of farm commodities are re-
stored to normal.
2. That the President "peg"
the price of all principal agr1-
cultural commodities at cost OF
production levels.
3. That controlled initiation OF
currency be Immediately Or
dered.
Pending enactment of this pro-
gram Kennedy demanded that all
States represented at the confer
ence declare an embargo on ship
ment of all farm products unless
they are shown to have been sold
at "cost of production prices"
Kennedy, who came from Kan
kakee, ILL.,, to attend the confer
ence, was a member of the Farm
ers' Holiday Association confer
ence, which drew up that organi"
Zation'S demands at a meeting
here late yesterday.
Statement Endorsed
Copies of his statement were
signed by C. N. Rogers, president
of the Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union of America;
Milo Reno, president of the Farm
ers' Holiday Association, and Jesse

ACT
ASSA|LED BY
BANKERS
ThrottIes Business, HaIts Flow
Of Capital, Is View of
Investment Group

HOT SPRINGS, Va, Oct. 80
G.N.S0.-Delegates to the annual
convention of the Investment
Bankers Association of America
today turned their guns on one
Of the products of President
Roosevelt's new deap-the
Federal Securities Act.
This act, the bankers vigor-
ously insist, is throttling business
because its provisions are so
stringent that it prevents the
normal flow of capital into essen
tial industries.
Resolutions advocating modifi-
cation of the act are regarded
as certain to be passed by the
convention.
Dwarfs Other Topics
The securities act Of 1888 is the
big bugaboo before the bankers.
It transcendS all other subjects
before the convention, dwarfing
in point of interest such topics
as the workings of the NRA,
Government regulation of the
stock exchange, or the Pecora
inquiry at washington.
Arthur H. Dean, of New York,
speaking at one of the forums,
said:
'The motive of the securities
act is worthy but the law was
hastily conceived, hastily passed,
and born in the midst of a
national wave of hysteria."
Dean struck the keynote for
the policy that is expected to be
adopted by the association
namely, that the association go
on record as an aggressive unit
to press modification of the law.
Dean declared no one recog-
nized better than the bankers
themselves the problems that
must be faced in restoring their
diminished prestige.
Discussing the provisions of
the securities act, which is so
onerous to the bankers, Dean
said:
political expediency made it
impossible for the Government
to call the bankers for advice
when the law was being drafted
last March. The result was
that the legislation was drafted
by persons who, however able
and well-intentiOned, knew
nothing about the securities
business"
Objection Is Noted
The feature of the act which
is causing the bankers the great
est concern is its liability pro-
vision. Under this, members of
a house issuing securities must
assume personal liability for
everything said in the prospectus
at the time the issue is sold.
In many instances the bankers
would be liable to the extent of
millions of dollars. The act also
imposes financial and criminal
liabilities on the bankers under
writing the issues.
Dean suggested the law be
changed to make bankers respon-
sible only for negligent and
fraudulent acts on their part.
The securities act, he pointed
out, holds the bankers respon-
sible for misstatements in their
security prospectuses even when
such statements are unintentional
and not due to fraud,
