'Boy With 100 To Die for Slaying Woman A Mortgage Institution TOO POOR TO SEND GIRL TO VASSAR, FATHER ENDS LIFE Note From Daughter Found in Hand of Once Prosperous Merchant, Dead by Shot.

Brooding over the knowledge that he would be unable to send his 17-year-old daughter to Vassar because of his financial condition, Harry Smolen, 40, ended his life yesterday in the bathroom of his home at 1129 Carroll st according to the story told the police of the Empire blvd. precinct by Mrs. Lillian Smolen, wife of the dead man. When his body was found Smolen was clutching a revolver in his right hand and a note received a couple of days ago from his daughter in his left. The bullet had penetrated his right temple.

Until a year ago Smolen was a prosperous shoe merchant In Los Angeles, his wife told the police. Then he met with business reverses and failed for about $100,000. About two months ago he came East with his wife and their two younger children, Bprnard, 8, and John 3. Florence, 17, and George, 18, the two older children, remained In Los Angeles to finish their education. In a letter he daughter wrote that she hoped she would be able to go to Vassar to finish her education.

Her father wrote her a note in which he said he was sorry to disappoint her, but that he did not think this would be possible owing to his financial condition. A few days later Smolen received a letter from Florence saying that it did not make much difference to her and that she would come East and finish her education in this city. Smolen, his wife said, brooded over his inability to send the daughter to the school she wished to attend, and on Saturday night when they visited friends he referred to this subject once or twice.

B. KEMP IS DEAD; 60 YEARS IN COLLEGE William Cullen Bryant Kemp, Columbia's "perpetual student," died yesterday at Lenox Hill Hospital, bringing to an end a career of 60 years at the university. He was 78 years old. Mr. Kemp had been ill tor a year, but he did not go to the hospital until last week.

He had been living at the Columbia University Club, 4 W. 43d st. The reason for Mr. Kemp's long stay at Columbia was a combination of circumstances. At the university it was said that when he first started as an undergraduate he had no liking for study and that a wealthy relative, In order to urge him on, left him $2,500 a year as long as he remained at the school.

In his long stay he accumulated a list of degrees rivaling the honorary degrees conferred on various notable persons. His friends, however, said that he wanted to study and remained at Columbia to Indulge this desire. During his long years of study he acquired the following degrees: M.D., A.B., A.M., LL.M.. LL.B.. Ph.D., C.E., E.E., Mech.E., E.M., Phar.

and three degrees of B.S. CAN YOU NAME MORE? Of the 3.200 persons now authorized bv the Department of Commerce to nilot airplanes in the United States 34 are women. How many of them ran you name?

Six Foot "Child" Gone; He Answers to "Kelly" The Missing Persons' Bureau of the Police Department has been asked to find a "child" who stands six feet, two inches in his stocking feet, and weighs just 225 pounds.

He is George Durdaller, but, according to his mother, Mrs. Mary Durdaller, 533 Dill pl prefers to be known as "Kelly." He disappeared at 1 p.m. Jan. 30 wearing a brown overcoat, blue suit, brown hat, white striped shirt and olue and red tie. "Kelly" is 21 years old.

Thirty-two knot maximum RpwJ hoped for from the new North Ofm man Lloyd liners which will mak their maiden voyages to Atlantic Tidewater Terminals, foot of 59th South Brooklyn, late In the summer, will place them so much In a class by themselves among all the ships on the Atlantic that the North Atlantic Steamship Conference has put them In a separate new classl flcation, It was learned today. Class A will be their designation, as distinguished from liners like the lie de France, Berengaria, Maure-tanta, Majestic and Leviathan, which are graded under Class 1. These classifications are made for the purpose of determining rates and to prevent competition through lowering rates. Ships In the same class charge approximately the same rates. Europa Sails July 16.

Sailing dates for the new German ships In their first voyages to Brooklyn were also announced today. The first of them, the Europa, 46.500-ton vessel, will sail from Bremen for Brooklyn via Southampton ad Cherbourg on July 16, according to the schedule. The sec-end, the Bremen, sister of the Europa, Is scheduled to sail on Aug. 27. Both ships were supposed to arrive in April, but work was delayed by shipyard strikes.

Their builders expect they will average six days from the German port to New York. Builders of both liners have contracted for i speed of 26.5 knots. Rival shipping companies, however, have conducted investigations and found that the reserve speed of the vessels should range from 28 to 32 knots. Their construction has progressed with greatest secrecy. DOUMERGUE SICK; FOCH HOLDS OWN Paris, Feb.

4 iPi President Dou-mergue is the latest to feel the influenza epidemic. He was forced to cancel most of his day's appointments, but his physicians said that his case was a mild one and was not dangerous. Slight improvement In the symptoms of Marshal Foch was noted today by his physicians, Drs. Dave-nere and Heitz-Boyer. They made no attempt in their morning bulletin, however, to conceal the persistence of the pulmonary congestion and fever.

The morning bulletin gave the Marshal's temperature as 100.4 with his pulse at 84. The bulletin, which showed also the signatures of Drs. Laubry and Renault, added that the patient continued to take food. In conversations after, the usual morning conference it was said Marshal Foch had passed a calm night, but there was an inference the persistence of the pulmonary congestion would complicate his recovery. BERRY ANSWERS ALLEN'S CHARGES Controller Charles W.

Berry, replying to the charges made by Dr. William H. Allen, director of the Institute of Public Service, that he is not making full use of the extensive powers given him by the city charter to prevent waste and extortion in city contracts, today said that he had no such power. He added that meetings are now being held in his oftlce from time to time by a commiltee composed of rep-rerentatives from the various bar associations to amend the charter to give him such power. "If Dr.

Allen has any suggestions to make he should come before the committee of delegates from the bar associations, which is aiming to devise a means of giving the Finance Department better control of the letting of contracts than is now given by the charter." Controller Berry stated. Alfred J. Talley Is chairman of that committee. Bible Test Answers 1. Forty men to kill Paul.

5 Cites Ambulance Chasing Probe as Other Means of Inquiry. Determined opposition to widen ing the scope of the Grand Jury is voiced by George Z. Medalie of the New York Bar in the current issue of the Panel, official organ of the Association of Grand Jurors of New York County. Mr. Mi'dalic acted as special deputy attorney general in charge of election frauds in this city during thp last election.

In his article he calls attention to the fact that the Bunnies Crime Commission Is now considering whether the Grand Jury should be continued or abolished. Declaring that it Is not his intention to comment on that phase he continues: "Public di.scus.sion on this subject has led Grand Jurors to inquire whether, apart from the normal routine of the Grand Jury, it is possible for that body to exercise broader functions by the way of investigation into evils that affect the public generally and to vindicate the usefulness of that ancient in stitution." Mentions Sewer Scandal. The answer is no, as far as Mr. Medalie is concerned. Ample power to conduct such Investigations, he insists, is held in respon sible official quarters, and gratify ing results have been obtained.

Among other things he cites the inquiry into the Queens sewer scandal by Moreland act commissioners and also the ambulance-chasing investigation which resulted from The Eagle's vigorous crusade against thai evil. "The recent ambulance chasing investigation." he writes, -'conducted by Justice Wasservogel at the direction of the Appellate Division, assisted by able coudspI In the per son of Isidore J. Kresel and a group of legal assistants, covering a period of many months, is another example of the itbility of the judicial branch of our Government to deal with an existing evil coming under the scope of its investigating powers. in all matters of this character skill, experience, energy, pa tience and the possibility of devot ing unlimited time are indispens able factors. Unfortunately, Grand Juries are not so equipped the article continues, in part: "Practically every Grand Juror ha.s other business to attend to.

In a county as busy as New York, the average Grand Juror is called upon to devote nve mornings a week of two hours each for one month to the of his duties and he cannot and will not spare the time necessary to a thorough in vestigation of public matters. If he spends less time than was consumed in the investigations wp have referred to, his knowledge of the subjet will be superficial, he will himself be uninformed, and he will be in no position to indulge in the conclusions so glibly set forth ir the ordinary presentment. "Investigations by Grand Juries, even if the jurors had the time and the patience and the skill, would nrvertheless bp lacking in effeetivp-ness because funds are not available for the employment of investigators, accountants and experts generally for the conduct of such investigations when and as each fleeting Grand Jury may determine to draw upon such funds."
