West and the management of the Friars

of alleged violations of the law, the
state militiamen who closed the club
house are withdrawn today.
According to a statement by the
governor, the management of the club
assured him that if they were per
mitted to resume operations no law
violations would occur in the future.
Governor West, speaking of the
Friars club last night, said;
81 had conference with repre-
sentative this evening. He was told
our office had no desire to interfere
with this club so long as it confined
its activities to the purposes for which
it was Incorporated, but that its pres
ent practice of serving liquors without
a license was unlawful and could not
be permitted. Upon being assured that
there would be no further cause OF
complaint, the militia boys were called
in and hope the conduct of the club
will give us no cause to send them
back"

that corporations shall exist for five
years after dissolution for the purpose

Big Fortune Seems
to Haze Vanished
Multi Millionaire weyerhauser Leaves
Estate Valued at S875,000 When 1t
Was Thought to Total Nearly $780,
100000.

st. Paul, MIMI, May S.-Assistant
Attorney General William Stevenson,
who has charge Of the collection Of
Minnesota's inheritance taxes, was
planning today thorough investiga-
tion of the value Of the estate left by
the late frederick Weyerhaeuser, the
timber king.
As reported to the state authorities,
the estate represented only $875,000.
Stevenson believes, in common with
most other well posted men, that
Weyerhaeuser's fortune rivaled that
Of John d. Rockefeller, totalling some
where between $100,000,000 and $780,
100000.
Either, said Stevenson, the late tim
Der magnate made vast gifts before
his death or the bulk Of his holdings
were outside of Minnesota. He did not
think gifts made under such circum-
stances would stand, and while he
agreed that the Weyerhasuser prop
critics doubtless were widely scattered,
he doubted if a paltry $S75,0O0 was all
the dead millionaire owned in his
home state.
The executors will be allowed three
months to list the properties. After
that Stevenson viii take hand.

AMERICAN SOLDIER
MAY Be PRISONER
Suffering From Heat, Private Parks
Wanders Toward Mexican Line and
Is Seen no More by His Friends.

Vera Cruz, Mex, May S.-That Pri-
vate Parks, orderly 90 Colonel Taggart
of the Twenty eighth infantry, had
fallen into the hands of General Mas
Mexican federals, seemed beyond doubt
this afternoon.
All that the scouts who sought him
could learn was that he was last seen
yesterday leading two black horses in
the direction of the Mexican lines and
that today at Tejera Mexicans were
noticed loading two horses of the same
description into a railroad car.
The impression was that Parks wan
dered aimlessly through the American
lines while suffering from the heat
There was an unofficial report that
the same body of Mcxicans supposed to
have captued Parks also made prison
ers of two other American soldiers.
