PASADENA, Cal., April 4. Frederick A. Weyerhauser, the multimillionaire lumber man from St. Paul, Minn., at one time the richest man in the world, died at his winter home here today. He became ill more than a week ago, and bis advanced age of eighty years was blamed for his inability to recover. Frederick Weyerhauser's popular fame dates from January, 1907, when a magazine writer In describing him hit upon the phrase "richer than Rockefeller." Mr. Weyerhaeuser denied that he had more money than the oil king. But the truth of his statement is till in doubt. It has been said that in 1907 he held 32,000.000 acres of

Hundreds of missives have been received, but out of them has been learned nothing to show definitely whether the boy was killed or kidnapped. Some of them demand a ransom for the boy, the writer pretending that he knows where the child is; others offer their aid in return for cash.
