roads. The testimony today showed

instead OF having profited by the sale
of these roads TO the Erie and later fo
the Baltimore and Ohio. actually had
sustained Il big loss. Furthermore,
this loss was voluntarily taken by the
late ]. z. Morgan to protect the Erie
Railroad because he felt that the Erie
had acquired the lines through his re-
spoasihility. Documents were pro-
duced showing that the Erie Board oi
Directors regarded this as an extra
ordinary service to the company
Frederick w. Stevens, of J. +
Morgan g. Co, was the only witness
heard today. From hts testimony II

FEDERAL RESERVE

,orney General Renders De-
cision That 1t Has Entity
Completely Apart From the
Treasury Department

) Washington. Dec. ta.--Any Illusion
that Secretary McAdoo may have had
that the Federal Reserve Board was
4 subordinate division or bureau of
the Treasury Department, was dissi-
patGd by an opinion rendered by
Attorney General Gregory this after
noon The attorney general is en-
phAtica7ly Of the opinion that the
board has an entity completely sepa-
rate from that OF the Treasury De-
partment, that it lis an important gov
ernment board, and that the secre-
tAry Of the Treasury and the board
ere coordinate officials.
The opinion set forth is that an ex-
tension of the reserve act as it stands
today, as we'll as a consideration of
Tho history Of the LEGISLATION, leaves
no room for doubt as 10 the intent or
the law TO create an independent
body The emphasis which the attor-
ney general lays ON clearness Of the
laws intent Is of especial interest, in
View Of the fact that the Secretary of
the Treasury has been suspected of
entertaining an entirely different view.

that not only would II have bern
contrary TO the spirit of ncufr1i-
ity to permit the shipment of
submarines in sections from this
country to q beiligerent, hut atfo
N violation OF the neutrality Laws.
This became known today.
The departments view ON this
subject lave been communicated
to the British government, which
has made inquiry regarding tho
reported attitude of this govern
ment.
II also became known today thai
the State Department not only dis; p-
proves OF proposals to prohibit the
expectation Of arms from the United
States during the war; bug would
view the passage OF such law as
unneutral act. II is held that had
such law been proposed and adopted
on the date OF the opening of hostii-
ties In Europe, when it would have
effected all beligerents alike, IL
would have been proper. but that u
take such step now would be to tho
disadvantage of the allies who have
come to place Il certain dependence
ON this country as d source of sup
plies.
The Alabama Precedent.
The departments view that th4
construction OF submarines in tcais
country and shipment In sections to
beiiigerent countries would be COM
trary TO the neutrality laws was
based on the Alabama case. 1t was
said the victory which the United
States won in thst case over England
compelled this government to adhere
to the same interpretations in this
present instance. FL Is pointed out
that the. Alabama sailed from an Enc.
iiSh port during the American Civil
War under the Portuguese flag as
merchant ship. She went to Portu.
gal and WAS there fitted out for cruis.
ing against the commerce OF Che
United States. On the basis of the6N
facts verdict was awarded in favor
Of the United States. and England was
compelled to pay damages. OfficislS
here hold there is sufficient similarity
between the facts OF the Alahama Case
and the proposal to build submarines
