FAILED TO RETAIN WEALTH
Man Who Made Millions in Oil Final.
ly Finds Grave in the Potters
Field.

Simon Solomon, one of the early
characters of this section of the oil
country, died recently in Casper, Wyo.,
says a Bradford, Fa., dispatch to the
Buffalo Express. AT the burial there
was no music. no flowers. no mourn
ers, just few well-spoken words and
prayer, and the coffin containing the
body of the eighty-year-oId man was
lowered into grave in the potter's
field Such is the end of man who is
known to have won millions in the oil
game and just as easily lost his for
tunes. He died and was buried penni-
less.
The notice of his death was received
from people in Caspar, Wyo., who
knew that the aged man had been a
previous resident of this city.
In the '70s Simon Solomon was al
most as well known a character as
was Coal Oil Johnny and while no rec
ord is found where Solomon used 500
notes to light his cigars or where he
bought hotel for night provided
AiiC plOpA iSio1 HOutN lpt SiNC MN az
commodations without, as Coal Oil
Johnny is known TO have done, it is
known that Solomon had a pile of
money-in fact, so much at times that
he hardly knew what to do with it.
When he lost everything he went to
the new field of Wyoming hoping to
recover his lost wealth. His age, how
ever, was against him.
II may he said of Simon Solomon
that he. while member of the firm of
Jackson. Walter & Solomon. drilled the
first well on jackson avenue, in this
city; in fact, the first paying well of
this city. Much of his success was in
Titusville and Oil City of the lower
field. but the zenith of his success
came in the Bradford oil field. In
Warren, Pa, he developed the famous
well SOS which is mentioned in all oil
country histories. He had operated in
the Richburg and Bolivar territory of
the Allegheny county field.
Simon Solomon's presence at an oil
market or in oil circles was the signal
for the promoters to gather about him
and seek his advice as TO what to do in
the way of prospecting. To the end
he was optimistic and was heard to
say Just shortly before he died that
he would strike something soon"
Simon Solomon was an interesting
conversationalist. and il was pleas
IRE IA hear him relate of how he got a
start in life and he was equally free to
tell how he lost his wealth. He had
splendid lot of knowledge as to the oil
development from the early days.

ARGETINE WITH
DRAWS FROM
|. OF N.

Withdrawal from the League of Ma
tons assembly by the Argentine dele
CATION caused lot of talk, in Geneva
and elsewhere, but it didn't disrupt
the gathering by any means. Indeed,
Pueyrredon and his colleagues found
they had put themselves in a rather
ridiculous position. and the chief re-
tired to Paris, disappointed but still
defiant. Their argument that proposed
amendments to the covenant should be
discussed and acted on at this session
was upheld by the Scandinavians and
certain others, but their action in quit
ting because they found themselves in
the minority on the question was not
approved by anyone, and was attacked
by some of the Buenos Aires papers.
Pueyrredon stated that his mission in
Paris was to consult with Senator Nc
Cormick Of Illinois in the hope that
the United States and Argentina
would become the leaders of move
ment to give to the world a substitute
Tor the present league.
Wednesdays session of the assem-
bly, was enlivened by hot speech by
Newton Rowell of Canada in opposi-
ton to the plan of Hanotaux of
France to have three new organiza-
lions set up each with an annual con-
ference, to take care of finance, trans
portation and health matters. and to
be supported financially by the league
as is the labor bureau. The labor bu-
reaus budget for the coming year is
100000 gold francs. and Mr.. Rowell
protested that nations like Canada
would not agree 10 be saddled with
the immense additional expense that
the three proposed commissions would
require. Nor could such nations ~
ford TO send their best technieians
each year to the conference he said.
and consequently the problem involved
would be handled exclusively by Euro
pean nations, which would not at all
suit Canada why he cried, do you
think we should have confidence in Eu-
ropean Statesmen and leaders when it
was European policy, craftsmanship
and ambition that drenched the world
in blood?" Senator NIiuen Of Australia
warmly supported Rowen. and Lord
Robert Cecil's compromise, that the
existing international health organi-
cation continue. under league super
vision. and the other two be aban-
doned, was adopted.

they'll Never Admit Il.

At the dinner table the talk was
about the women getting TO vote this
fail Sis, who was just past twenty.
asked: "How old does woman have
to be TO get to vote?"
Bud, who was to get his first vote
this fall and who did not think much
of women having the right to vote.
replied why, they have to be thirty
years old"
IF what you say is true, Bud, many
women will lose their votes" was Sis
reply as she looked across the table
at her aunt who has been twenty
eight for six years.

The sluggtshness with which thick
Gil IS moved through the pipes in
which Il is carried away from the oil
heids has given the oil people of Cali
forni6 considerable trouble. Mixing
Il with water was found to improve
matters, but there is difficulty of sep
arating the oil and water which at the
end Of the trip has formed IN emul-
sion difficult to handle. 1t has now
been found that rifling the inner sur
lace OF the pipes has the desired effect
IN that the friction generates a heat
which warns the body of oil and ena-
bles 1t to be moved more rapidly.

A born Ounce" was Carolus Lin
naeus, the Swedish naturalist. Born
in Rashult in Smaland, Sweden, what
little chance he had in life as a boy
he threw away. "Unhandy at every
thing; even unfit for the pulpit" later
wrote his critics. Yet in the fields alone
where he was commanded to work he
studied botany in a crude way, and
seven years later was joyfully hailed
as the greatest botanist of his age.
