The death of Henry c. Rowland must
recall to readers of the Saturday Evening
Post some of the adventure tales that he
wrote for that magazine some years ago.
He was splendid writer in this field. We
missed his style and his characters of recent
years. Perhaps he stretched the imagination
bit in the weaving of his plots. but it
was done in such way that the reader was
usually intrigued enough to follow the fan
tastic tale to the end. incidentally he was
a graduate of Yale Medical School in 1898.

WIGCIN USED
 NEW METHODS TO CUT TAXES
Former Bank Chairman Formed Personal Cor

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-Evi- dence of big profits to Albert H. Wiggin through stock transactions when he was chairman of the Chase National Bank and his use of personal corporation to cut down his income taxes have been unear'thed by the Senate investi- gators and he will be recalled to the stand to tell of these invest ments and operations through a series of corporations which he and others of his family owned.
 It is said profits ran into the millions but the use of personal corporations served to reduce Wig gins income tax payments.
 Disclosures that Wiggin made more than ten million dollars by trading in stock of the Chase Ma tional bank while he was it's head drew repudiation of the institu- tion's past policiss from the new President, w. w. Aldrich, whc promised no artificial market in the stock as long as he was in charge.
 Wiggin will be recalled to the stand next Tuesday when the in- vestigation is resumed as adjourn ment was taken today until next week.

Possibility of Repeal Spurs
 U. s. PIans to Collect q Tax
 Estimated at $7OO, 600, 900
By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-Shoulc national prohibition be repealst this year, government officials would have the benefit of prelim. mary arrangements for the collec. tion of liquor revenues which they hope would reach the grand tota of $700,O00,000 annually.
 Chairman Pat Harrison of tht Senate Finance Committee, assum. ing repeal expects the government to derive annually $200,000 ,00t from beer taxes and $500,000 00( from levies on whiskey and other liquors, a total sum which, il realized, would be expected to as- sure elimination of certain spec ial taxes levied at the last session of Congress.
 Tax Relief Possible
 In the National Industrial Re covery Act it is provided specifi- cally that if repeal of the Eight eenth Amendment is proclaimed be- fore December 31 there will bt relief in 1884 from certain taxes designed to help finance the pub lie works program.
 These taxes. calculated to pro- vide some $227 100000. include the increased levy of one-half ceni per gallon on gasoline, the 5 per cent tax of stock dividends, the one-tenth of 1 per cent tax on the capital stock of corporations, and 5 per cent tax on corporation prof it's in excess of 121s per cent of the capital stock value.
 Congress, with the expert coun- sel of Treasury tax authorities would fix the levies on newly le- galized liquors with a view te obtaining the largest possible re- turns. With the states as well as the federal government taxing li- ouor, the treasury in recommend ing schedules would consider thf danger of fixing levies so high as to tend to reduce revenue by en- couraging the Illicit distilling and selling of whiskey.
 The present tax on msdicina, whiskey is $110 a gallon, whil' there is a levy of s6.40 gallor on whiskey diverted for beverage use.p The latter is in the nature of a penalty tax on liquor sole in violation of national prohibition and, according to some legal ex- perts, would cease to be effective after repeal
