That opinion, though not from tho attorney general, was su Hielen t for most of those asked to contribute. It l ui lcd, however, to convince the New Englanders. Their contributions, probably necessary to completo suc cess of the plan, are understood to havo been pledged contingent upon a favorable opinion by Attorney Gener p.l Gregory himself. Lawyers outside the treasury de partment are for the most part of the vic .V that no violation of the Sher man law can result. It generally was predicted tonight that that view would be concurred in by Mr. Greg ory, and that complete success of the plan will be announced shortly, i Attorney General Gregory and Sec retary McAdoo conferred for an hour ! tonight and later it was reported that Mr. Gregory had upheld bis subordi nates in tho opinion that the loan ?plan could not be construed to be Iii ?violation of the Sherman act or any other law. No announcement was made, however, and although the at torney general carried ?. memoran dum to the treasury, it was said no written opinion had been prepared. GOOD MAN DIED AT BELTON HOME J. M.
