San Francisco is excited over the
opinion Of Attorney General Gregory,
submitted to President Wilson, holding
that practically all the great maritime
iations were exempt from the provisl
ions of the law regarding surveys, in
'pection and measurement. This opin.
ion was reported in The Advertiser yes,
terday. The San Francisco Chronicle
reports Capt. William Matson as say,
ing that he believed the opinion partly
uullifled the law and that Congress
would kill il completely. Andrew Fur!
'nseth said that, while dispatches were
not complete enough for him to base
any definite expression upon them, he
would not be surprised If the opinion
meant the beginning of the end for
the law. K ~ 3.Fa5s, j a
II appears that San Francisco is ex.
cited over a minor point and that Cap.

pessimistic without much cause. The
opinion of the attorney general merely
upheld one Of Solicitor General Thur

probably viii be approximately $780,,
100000. This is below the amount re.
ported to have been the aim Of the for.

was set by Wall Street gossip few
days ago, when It was reported that
the Allies had agreed to cut their est.
mates in half and seek only half bill,
