Solomonson Bida Wife Good-bjs nd Takes Strychnine. COMES FROM RICH FAMILY IN HOLLAND hlorooe Hcre He Thasfht Wife Was More Devoted to Foar-Year-Old Adopted Daughter Than to Him. "Goodbye, dear, you will never see me illve again." With these words upon bis lips, O. J. W. Solomonson, 3425 Davenport street, swal lowed a quantity of strychnine In the pres. ence of his wife and later walked Into the parlor of his home, where he seated him self and calmly awaited death- For some days past 6olomonon had been morose and constantly harassed his wlf. she. states, by Jits threats to shoot ber and then take hts own life. This, she states, wai due to his jealousy of their I'.ule 4 y ear-old adopted daughter. The devotion of the wife to the little rhlld caused the relations between husband and wife to be come ,' strained. Last Buuday Solomonson, his wife states, threatened to kill ber and since then she has been suffering under a severe norvous strain. Yesterday the hus band took a large dose of chloral and Tues day night became quite abusive, so much so that Mrs. Solomonson and daughter slept In aiv adjoining room. AboVt 7 yesterday morning Bolmonson knocked on their door for admittance, say ing he was sick. His wife thought that It was simply a ruse to get Into the room and told him to "go and He down." Venturing to open the door slightly, Mrs. Solomonson saw her husband swsllow a quantity of poison. When she went downstairs he was found sitting In an easy chair, suffering from the drug. She Immediately notified S, A. Lewis, an employe In the tax com- mlssloner's office, who arrived Just a Sol omonson died, about ( o'clock. Transferred His lltt Isiarsset, About eight days ago, during a discussion of bis life Insurance, Solomonson became Incensed at his wife because she advised him to transfer to to his three children la Amsterdam, Holland, the right as bene ficiaries. Instead of the little daughter they , had adopted Later he assigned his Insur t anee, amounting to $8,000, to his three children, sine when, Mrs. Solomonson states, he has almost eoostantly talked about his self-destructloL.

DEVLIN FEELS WELl"pLEASED Eavor of Irish Party Delighted with Character of Receptions Given la America. Established 1023. WILSON Thai's All! TOT Wn!t PTWTTT C0k feaUtlmore, aid. Mr. Joseph Devlin, M. P. for North Kil kenny, Ireland, and Colonel Jobn F. Flnerty of Chicago arrived here yesterday morning and are at the Paxton hotel, where they will attend a reception glvea them by the Irishmen of the city at S o'clock to morrow evening. Mr. Devlin Is the accredited envoy of tbo Irish party In the House of Commons and was selected to come to this country as the representative of the t'nlted Irish league by the largest and most Influential conven tion ever held in Ireland. His object Is to arouse In this country a feeling of sym pathy for Ireland In the fight now being waged for land and liberty. Speaking to a representative of The Bee, Mr. Devlin ex pressed his deep satisfaction with the suc cess of his mission to the United Ststes. In the esst he had been warmly received every where he visited, and from all sections of his countrymen, as well as from many American friends of Ireland, be had re ceived the most substantial proof of prac tical Interest In the Irish cause. la coming to America he addressed his countrymen and all lovers of liberty ae the spokesman and authoritative agent of a united Irish people. The spirit of unity was never so complete aad ths people have now, he states, one organisation representing all sections of thought In Ireland. "There has not been." said Mr. Devlin, "eveu In the glorious days cf Mr. PsrneU's leadership, so powerful an organisation In this country or so unified a parliamentary fartjr aa our country caa boast of today. And the result Is that the people, by their union and organisation on fighting lines, have brought the Irish landlords to their knees and hare the promise of a complete settlement of the land question. Not only that, but we are almost certain that a measure of, national self-government will be Introduced In the near future, and if these two great reforms were carried noth ing could stsnd in the wsy of Ireland's prosperity and growth as one of the pro gressive and clvlllr.lng agencies In the world. All that we require is that the Irish race in the United States and the Irish people at home stand together, and If they do an organized effort on such lines will be Irresistible. 'I trust to have the pleasure of explain ing the situation here fully at the recep tion at the Paxton tomorrow night, where I hope to meet the patriotic Irishmen of the city, as well as those Americans who sympathise with our cause. Colonel Fln erty, who Is the president of the United Irish League of America, will also deliver an address, and no man In this country is better able to expound the Irish situa tion. His official position as chief execu tive officer of the league in this country should add great weight to bis opiniona on the great and Important changes now being brought about in Ireland."

Brioklajeri to Appeal to Ea'.ldicg Trades Oounoil Againi'. thi Material ken. BOARD OF CONCILIATION IS SUGGESTED Member of Interested Inlon Wonld Havo All Matters Referred to Ar bitration Brie k la era to Leave Omaha for Other Cities. - If the decision of the Bricklayers' union, leached Tuesday night, la sustained by the Building Trsdes council, an attempt will be made to make permanent the retirement from trade of those dealers in building ma terial who announced their temporary re tirement last week. The members of the unions connected with the building trades say that the action of the material men leaves no doubt that they have Joined the contractors la an at tempt to coerce all contractors Into being bound by the regulations of the contractors' organisation In regard to the payment of wages aad the hours of labor. It was reported at the meeting of the Hod Carriers' union that contractors em ploying nonunion labor had received ma terial during the week, but the person mak ing the report could not say from what dealer the material waa secured. This added to the feeling of the members of the union, so when the Bricklayers' union met last night a resolution was adopted, sub ject to the approval of the Building Trades council, to the effect that the union men would bsndle no material from the Arms which have refused to deliver goods to those contrsctors who have agreed to pay the scsle of the unions. lleved ' that there would have been no trouble had the hod carriers' troubles have been settled by May 1, but now It Is an nounced by members of the Employers' association that no promises made hereto fore will be considered binding and that all scalea are open to objection and contest. Tbe bricklayers are making preparation I for tbe summer regaraiesa oi ma action oi the employers of Omaha. Tbe scale in Omaha is 65 cents per hour. At Kansas City tba scale is 62Vs cents end at Des Moines 60 cents. At the meeting last night a large number of the members of the union signed an agreement to draw their cards and leave town In case Ihe trouble between the employers and tbe building trades unions lasted until May 1. There wss a demand from Kansas City for forty bricklayers and a large number are wanted at Des Moines, where the government la doing work in addition to considerable ac tivity In the city generally, with no labor trouble. A plan has been proposed by a member of the bricklayers' union for a permanent arrangement to make strikes Impossible. The plsn, as submitted to a number of In terested parties for consideration, provides for a board of councllatlon to be composed of three men from each of the unlone ask ing a change In tbe scale, three from each of the branchee of crriloyers represented, three from unions not interested in the scales and three from employers not Inter ested. When a new scale is proposed the matter shall come before tbe board, which shall attempt to make a satisfactory set tlement. This falling, tho board shall create a board of arbitration to settle the matter. Any party to tbe arbitration re fusing to be bound by the decision of thi arbitrators shall not receive consideration at the hands of the bosrd of conciliation for a year.
