ST. PAVU Aub. J7.-The report that
th state of Minnesota hopes to collect
a. large Inheritance tax from the estate
of the late Frederick Weyerhaeuser,
lumber king, waa confirmed today by
the attorney general'! office. It was
stated that the amount the state may
realise approaches IW.000. based on an
state of WO,000.M. Instead of $l,300.e, as
imported by the executors.
To collect th amount, however. It will
be. necessary for the state to prove that
the report of the executors to the tax
commission was some twenty-eight mil
lion dollars short.
Attorney General Lyndon A. Rmlth,
aided by Andrew Frlti. public examiner,
has obtained an exhaustive report of
the executor, covering the holdings of
the late millionaire.
"The public examiner's office has been
working on the Veyerha.ucr Woks and
on the books of companies with which
Mr. Weyerhaeuser was connected for
several months," said Attorney General
Smith. "A voluminous report has been
presented, which 1 have reason to be
lieve contains Important data relative
to the affiliation of Mr. Weyerhaeuser
with various large corporations."
Mr. Weyerhauaer waa reputed to be
heavily Interested In the Great Nor
thern Railroad company, but the Inven
tory submitted by the executr.-s showed
a stock valuation of only W.ooo. Heal
estate, including a homestead, waa listed
at WO.TOo. Personal property was repre
sented in notes of the F. Weyerhaeuser
company for 1536.000; stock In the Mer
chanta' National bank, St. Paul, the
First National bank. Duluth, an Insur
ance policy for 1100,000 and I29.9S8 In
the bank were listed by the executors.
In the Inventory there la no mention of
timber holdings In various parts of the
country. Including the PoUateh Lumber
company of Idaho, which has a sawmill
aid to be among the lamest In the
world. Also, there was no mention of
various paper and box mills In which
Mr. Weyerhaeuser waa - ported to be
heavily Interested.

OMAHA NEEDS WORKHOUSE,
SAYS ATTORNEY M'GUIRE
Assistant City Attorney McGulre. who
Is serving oa city prosecutor at the po
lice court, declares recent observations
at this court strengthen his belief that
Omaha should have a workhouse.
"It would surprise you to know the
large per cent of nonresident prisoners
arraigned every morning. Most of these
offenders are floaters, who come In and
make work for the police. A workhouse
would serve as a deterrent and would
make Omaha a less desirable place for
these transient undesirable," remarked
Mr. MoGulre.
