WEYERHAUSER
 PASSES AWAY
 AT 0AK KNOLL
Multi-millionaire Minnc- sota Lumberman, Aged Seventy-nine, Succumbs to Cold He Caught Week Ago
IAssoc,ArEp pRCss pIspArcHl

LOS ANGELES. April 1.-The body m siti raillio..s. .insss-s ssinnesots iumber-' man, who died today at his winter home at Oak Knoll, a suburb of Los Angeles. is on it's way tonight to the old home at Rock Island, H.. for interment. Weyerhauser, who was 79. caught cold week ago Sun day, while attending church. The following Wednesday his condition was so alarming that his children were summoned from the east. Three physicians were called and they at tended him day and night, and man. aged to overcome his sinking spells until shortly after o'clock this morning, when the patient sank into coma, and died at S:30.
 His sons, John. Charles, Frederick and Rudolph, and his daughters Mrs. Margaret Jewett. Mrs w. B. Hill and Mrs. S. $. Davis, were at the bedside at the end. His wife died two years ago.
 Weyerhauser who was one of the weathiest men in the world, was born in a small village on the Rhine, near Mainz. Germany, in 1884. He came to America when he was IS. Once he thought to be a brewer, and worked for four dollars a month.
 Weyerhauser got his financial start hy applying thrift and economy to a business which in the early sixties was being permitted to run on a profligate scale.
 Never lose log," became Weyer- hauser's slogan in the days when thousands of white pine logs daily escaped from the rafts being floated from the woods to the mills. He picked profits with both hands from this source when others refused to bother with "so small a matter Weyerhauser next took up the question of the middlemen. Some times three and four profits were taken by cutters, loggers and steam boat men and others before the tim Der reached the saw mill. These rniddlemen, Weyerhauser believed, were the principal cause of the great and costly confusion regarding the ownership of logs. In doing away with the middlemen, Weyer- hauser conceived the idea of the Mississippi Boom River Logging company. which was combination of the biggest men in the lumber trade in the middle west. which was consummated in Chicago, December, 1870. Weyerhauser attended the meeting and at it's conclusion he was one of three members of the execu- tive committee. Within a few years his associates in the concern dis covered that Weyerhauser was the Mississippi Boom Logging company. He became president one year after it's formation and held the post for forty years. From this point the value of his holdings began to run into the millions rapidly.
 Another important landmark in his career was in 1894 when he ob- tained the cooperation of Edward Hines. the Chicago lumberman, who became widely known at the time of the Lorimer senatorial scandal. Weyerhauser acquired some of the | largest and most valuable timber and mineral holdings in northern
 Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Only Thirty Were Captured Alive and Uninjured, and Rebel Chief May Have Held Wholesale Execu- tiOnS
DEAD LIE IN
 TORREON STREETS
Difficult Problem Now Pre- sents Itself in How to Dispose of Bodies-Huge Pyre Will Probably Be Built
1AssocrArEp PRESS pIspArcHl

CHIHUAHUA, April 1. - When Villa took Torreon he took only thir- ty prisoners alive and unwounded, according to information received. Whether this means many were exc cuted or that General Velasco, crip- pied but valiant, succeeded in escap- ng with practically all his army not dead or disabled, could not be learn ed. It is known he made the first few miles of escape on troop trains which he abandoned when he came to the first place where the rails were removed This is construed in favor of the reports that got away with the remnant of his army intact.
 Vice Consul Powers of Parral. who was arrested charged with passing counterfeit money, is still under charges but at nDerty on parole. Marion Letcher, the United States consul here. demanded that Powers be given an immediate hearing, but Manuel Chao, military governor of the state, is yet unable to comply, owing to the press of other duties in connection with the battle of Tor reon.
 A dispatch from an Italian army officer with the rebel artillery was received from Torreon saying:
 Dead horses and dead men are piled high in the streets. The plaza, is in ruins and the city spattered with blood. It is impossible to es- innate the number of federal dead, but a superficial inspection of pub lie places would indicate that not less than 2000 bodies are scattered about. It will be task to get rid of the dead, but gigantic funeral pyre will probably be built and the bodies of men and animals incin- erated Among the dead are some picked rurales who fought against Zapata in the south and who were sent north to attempt to check Villas victorious march,
 Gossip among strategists as to Villas future movements about agree that, having rested and refit- ted his army, he will proceed simul- taneously against Saltillo and Mon- terey on the east and Zacatecas on the south Assuming success, it is thought the armies will then reunite, probably at San Luis PotOsi, for the campaign against Mexico City. Villa is quoted by rebels as saying:
 We will be ready to dictate in Mexico City. There can be no com promise with the enemy. Madero compromised and bis government failed through the treachery of those who did not appreciate him or took advantage of his clemeney. The rev. olution must be the last in Mexico

In the last twenty years his inter- ests increased so rapidly that even bankers close to him in a business way were unable to keep track of his vast holdings.

Mail Men Charged
 With Novel Fraud
FAKE PARCEL POST PACkAG $ USED TO INCREASE
 INCOMES.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. S.- PostoffIce inspectors have just uncovered a unique system of defrauding the government, prac- ticed by some ot the rural mail carriers near this city. The odd part of the thing is that there seems to be no law under which the fraud can be punished, though the accused mail carriers will probably be discharged.
 The fraud is accomplished by carrying fake parcel post pack ages. It was found that one car rier was taking one-fourth of ton of brick in 90 pound pack ages, the limit permitted by law. These packages were originally stamped, and sent to fake ad- dresses. Thus they were car red back and forth each day, and the carrier received his regu- lar rate per pound for the work.
 The post office rules provide that of every dollar paid the gov ernment for parcel post. the car rier gets 46 cents and the gov ernment gets 54 cents. Thus by carrying the same parcel back and forth each day it was weigh ed to the credit of the carrier who received pay for it over and over again.

 ALL OPPONENTS.

MEXICO CITY. Nov. S.-President Carranza has refused, in a procla- nation made public today. to grant amnesty to the MeXicans who sought refuge at Vera Cruz. under the military authorities of the United States.

In response to that appeal, Presi- dent Carranza announced that he would not grant such a promise.
 It was explained, however, by President Carranza. that he would be glad to consider individual cases, od where he found the conditions were justifiable, he would grant amnesty.
 Roderiguez Suertaite, who has been active in his opposition to Car ranza, has been placed under ar rest in this city.

To Make Working
 Men Marry Workers
NEW SOCIALIST CONGRESSMAN PLANS FREAK LAW FOR
 POOR PEOPLE.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-One of the newly elected congressman from this state. q Socialist. has announced that he will submit bill to the next congress pro hibiting a working man from marrying girl who does not carry union card.
 He argues that much of the don CStic trouble these days Is due to the fact that poor men marry women of expensive tastes. He wants to prohibit the marriage of poor man to woman who does not know how to make a living, and 1t is his belief that by so doing the divorce evil among poor people can best be solved.
 Attorneys of this city when interviewed declared that the proposed law to make poor man marry a working girl would not be constitutional and there fore could not be enforced, for it would be class legislation, which Is prohibited.

STUDENTS AND TEACHERS HAVE
 GENERAL FIGHT
IN TACOMA CAUSES MUCH TROUBLE.

TACOMA, Wash, Nov. S.-General fighting between rebellious students ot the Tacoma high school and their teachers on the stadium of the school yesterday afternoon resulted in the more or less serious injury of several, including tie principal of the school.
 The fight was the result of an order abolishing athletics from the school. The order was given on account of the charge that students who took part in athletics were falling behind in their studies, and it Was believed by the teachers that it would be best for them if no more athletic contests are permitted
 1t was learned by the faculty of the high school that the young men students were planning a demonstra tion for Saturday afternoon, and it was decided that the men instruc tors of the school should be on hand to prevent the demonstration.
 It was not long after noon that procession of the students appeared carrying a coffin, supposed to con tain their athletic privileges.
 The procession headed at once for the stadium, where it was plan ned to hold mock funeral services. including a number of speeches. AS the procession arrived at the stadium, the teachers appeared on the scene and demanded that the students dis band and do away with their cof- fin. This they refused to do.
 Hot words were exchanged, and in the attempt on the part of the teachers to enforce discipline, gen eral fight ensued. It is announced that several high school students will be arrested.

WICK'S ELECTION IS ASSURED
SION INDICATE THAT CONTEST BETWEEN MALTBY AND SNOW WILL BE CLOSE, LATTER NOW LEADING.

Late election returns received in Fairbanks changed the outlook in regard To the election of one of the representatives somewhat. Early in the week il seemed that the repre- sentatiyes to the legislature would be l.. B. Collins. William Burns, Dan DrscolI and 4. E. Maltby. Late re turns have placed Snow ahead of Maltby, though they are still so close together that Maltby may yet W in.
 As Maltby and Snow were both on the nou-pariisan ticket the political feature of the legislature will not be affected by their contest. There is a slight chance that the late re- turns may bring Vance R McDon- aid q Democratic nominee for the house of representatives from Ruby. into competition with Snow and Maltby. though the chance is slight. Mcdonald is 99 votes behind Snow at present. hut the Koyukuk vote will probably increase his totals, and this has not been heard from.
 There are said to be between 175 and poo voters in the Koyukuk dis trict, and these will almost certainly sa ta a large extent for Mcdonald,
 Telegrap' ic reports from various parts of the Territory are to the ef- feet that much of the returns are still missing, but there seems to be no doubt u regard 70 the general re- suits. There is still chance that Bunnell will carry the Third diVi- sion. but that will not give him any ob#,z-a Cf final SuCraSS
 T. will probably be al least an other week before the final returns are received They will probably reach Juneau in an official way much later. Within a few days it is expected that most of the returns of the Fourth division will be in.
 On the night of election, the tele- graph lines of Alaska collected the returns from the points that were touched by telegraph lines. The re- suit of this first report gave Wick ersham total. at that time, of 4.f78. Dunnef1 2953 and Brooks, 7S5. Later statistics have not been collected except in the Fourth divi- sion. which are given in another part of this paper in tabulated form.
 In most places it seems that the women took an active part in the election and used their privileges to vote as intelligently as did the men. In Fairbanks the woman vote was large.

That another attack by the Germans on the lines Of the allies in Belgium is imminent is indicated from the reports re- ceived yesterday from London. In report received early in the day from Paris, it is stated that the Germans are evidently preparing to withdraw from their present positions in Belgium, but a late report from London explains that new army, com posed largely of young men, is being rushed to the front, and it is evident that another determn- ed attack will be made on the lines of the allies in the vicin- ity of Ypres.
 It is also reported from lon- don that heavy firing was heard yesterday on the North sea, but the cause of it is not explain ed, though it is supposed that it is the nonading in naval engagement.
 1t is reported in Bordeaux, France, that the Germans are warning foreigners to retire from the shores of the Baltic sea. It is presumed that this is due to the expectation that naval attack will be made upon the German seacoast
 There seems to be much un- easiness on the part of the al lies concerning the new element in the war. the Turks, who are giving their support to Ger many. A dispatch from Odes- sa, Russia, states that the Rus sians have mastered the Black sea, and that the Turkish fleet has been driven to take refuge in the shelter of the Bosphorus.
 A dispatch from Constanti- nopIe states that the Turks are still receiving large consiqnments of ammunition and many off cers from Germany.
 Russia is reported to have lev jed an income tax for the pur- pose of raising $40 100000 for war purposes. It is also stat ed in advices from St, Petersburg that the Russians are gaining ground from the Germans and Austrians.
