EDUCATIONAL.
(BY G. w. MEISNEST.) J

The time of the years. at hand when
the work on the farm is about to be-
gin. There is a considerable amount
of work to be done it is true. The
question to be considered at this time
by all who have children to send to
school is,-can this work be done with
out keeping my children out of school?
OF course the smaller children can do
but little at home, but the boy or girl
at the age of l3 or II years who can do
somewhat more is often kept at home
for tritling work. This is just the
time of the year children should con-
tinue to go to school regularly. The
school work which is well started bv
this time, needs to be completed to be
most effective. Yet we often find that
both small and large children are kept
at home.
Many people who are taxpayers fail
to see the advantage of regular attend
ancc up to the time the school closes.
There are some children who do not
start school in the fall until the second
or third month and then fall out a
month or two before it closes. In all
they attend school less than one-third
of the entire year. If they attend every
day for nine months there would still
be more than l3O days they would not
attend. Then at the best, you will see,
the amount of time boy or girl spends
in school is very short. The fact is
that taxpayers pay for the education of
their boys and girls for ten years or
more and then turn around and send
them to school but six or seven years,
and very irregularly at that. And
then the people do not see that they
are getting proper returns for the
taxes they pay, which is true. How
can they if they themselves defeat their
own paid-in-advance opportunities 10y
not allowing their children to 90 to
school full time. From the point of
view OF the man who pays the money
the present situation in school affair,
verges dangerously close upon fraud.

The Diploma examination will be
held April - and %. Every boy or
girl who is able ought to remain in
school long enough to take this exam
nation. This diploma means that your
boy or girl has finished the country
school OF course he may 90 back to
school for another year or two and get
more out of it. Last year the average
number Of graduates from each school
was one and onc-half. Some schools
had a large number, many had none.
The trouble is that parents do not al
low their children to attend school
long enough to finish the course. The
amount Of education a boy can get in a
country school isabsolutely the least he
should have in order that hc may get
along and compete with others with an
equal chance. Let your children go to
school not only l20 days but the entire
time.

Striking in Two Places.

A spring thunderstorm, with the at

downpour of rain, swept down on New
York yesterday afternoon, rolling in
from the west bank of the Hudson and
forcing a dense pail of darkness before
it. 1t was no puny affair, this storm.
but a full f1edged hurricane that caused
considerable excitement and much dam
age to new spring hats and dresses and
to buildings.

ans on Alleged $3.50 Offer.

From the steamship lombard, in at
Brooklyn yesterday from Naples, three
Syrians landed - Nedjib Hourly, his
mother, Mrs. Sadie Hourly, and his
brother, Anton. John O'Connor. Acting
Deputy Surveyor. ordered Customs In
spector Davenport to examine their five
trunks and many bundles. Valuable
Oriental goods We're discovered sufficient
to stock a small store. The Syrians were
met at the pier by Djemil Hourly, a
brother of Nedjib, and two friends,
George Hakin and S. Alounji
When Davenport examined the trunks
he found a false bottom in each. and
concealed there valuable laces handker-
chiefs and other articles of the finest
manufacture Mrs. Hourly carried about
thirty pounds of similar goods about her
person The Syrians We're intensely
disturbed, and one of the friends, Acting
Deputy Surveyor O'Connor said, offered
him $3.50 to clear the goods
The friends and Nedjib Hourly were
arrested and taken before Acting Sur
yeyor Smyth, who ordered the goods
seized. The trio were held for further
examination. The value of the articles
which the Syrians are charged with at
tempting to smuggle is about $500.

Washington. May ia decided step
in the direction of assuring the adop-
ton of practically all the administra-
tons legislative programme was taken
at the White House last night. From
1890 o'clock until long after / O'Clock
this morning President Taft discussed
the situation with a large majority of
the Western Republican Senator'S and
five of the party leaders from Eastern
states.
Those present were Senators Flint, of
California; Guggenheim, of Colorado;

Kansas; Nelson. of Minnesota: Carter

sippr River. and Senators Aldrich, of
Rhode Island; Elkins, of West Virginia !;
Crane, of Massachusetts,; Root. of New
York. and Brandegee, of Connecticut
representing the East.
President Taft talked with great free
dom about the situation. He said that
he did not care about criticism of him
self, but that he believed everything pos
sible should be done to prevent attacks
'on the party. He referred incidentally
to the statement of Frederick NJ. Kerby
the Interior Department stenographer
who gave out a story attacking officials
in connection with the preparation of
the letter dismissing CLAWS from the
government service. The President cited
this instance to show the sort of attacks
thought that the administration Sena-
tors should help in dissipating the effect
of such attacks.
Every man present agreed to stand by
the PTeSlQeIlt- CeTldlH
the railroad bill were agreed on. and
through these il is planned to get the
support of some of the insurgent Repub-
leans This statement is regarded rs
significant and looking to the avoidance
of clashes between party factions whec-
ever they can be avoided. e
The railroad bill. the anti-injunction
measure. the statehood bill. if possible.
and the public land withdrawal bill
were agreed on as a revised legislative
slate. and all the Senators present
pledged themselves to vote for these
measures. II is not believed. however,
that the statehood bill will get through
1t was agreed that if filibustering
methods were used against this pro-
gramme those present at the conference
and the regulars represented by them
would stand together and vote TO lay
time killing amendments on the table.

LIFE ODDLY SNUFFED OUT
Battling Explosion in MutuaILIfe
Building Kills Lawyer.
CRUSHED BY MARBLE SLABS
Charles Louis Quintard, OF
Davies, Stone & Auerbach,
the Victim.

Charles Louis Quintard. lawyer IN
the office of Davies Stone & Auerbach,
died Yesterday afternoon from injuries
received less than two hours previously
as the result of an explosion OF gas IN
the rotunda on the ground floor OF the
Mutual Life Building.
Mr. Quintard left his office, on the sew
enth floor. at l. 80 o'clock, on his way to
luncheon. He was walking toward the
Cedar street entrance when suddenly
tremendous noise shook the building and
Mr.. Quintard was struck down by three
marble slabs, which were 10 feet long, IN
feet wide and inches thick each, that
bounded from their setting in the wall.
He was completely covered by the debris.
There was strong smell of gas. NO
one could explain its presence, as, in the
recollection of d man who had been six
teen years in the building, gas had never
been used there for any purpose. Ihe
accident occurred in the new wing, built
seven years ago.
No one could explain the explosion
satisfactorily, but in the fireproof brick
wall formerly protected by the heavy
marble a rusty gas pipe. one inch IN
diameter. showed two leaks distinctly.
The gas was promptly shut off.
The unfortunate man fell, almost at
the door of the United States Mortgage
and Trust Company. A rumor soon CIR
oulated that a bomb had been thrown
and lit caused not a little credence, as
the shock was felt throughout the build
inc and considerable excitement fol-
lowed.
The injured man was started TO the
tIudson Street Hospital at lao o'clock,
where he arrived twenty minutes later
Dr Zimmerman found that his skull was
fractured in two places and that there
we're internal injuries. The patient was
nIaced on the operating table imme-
dtateIy. but died at PAS o'clock without
regaining consciousness.
Mr. Ouintard was the assistant Of w
7, Madison in the real estate and cor
,,oration work of the firm His mother
lives in Poughkeepsie,, Ne Y. He; was
roduated from Princeton University in
1905 and later from the New York Law
School.
Mr. Quntard was twenty six years
old six feet tall, quiet and studious. He
had been living at No. IS Monroe Place,
Rroo,,Ivn but intended to move to Mann
aronack Yesterday.

SWALLOWS CARBOL|C ACID
Young Wife Feared to Become a
Burden to Her Husband:
HOPED HE. WOULD BE HAPPY
Was to Have Sailed for Europe
Next Wednesday to Visit
Her Old Home.

After writing her husband a note IN
which she told him that she did not wish
longer to be a burden to him and wish
ing him a long and happy life, Mrs.
Katherine Zentler, twenty-six years old,
committed suicide by drinking an ounce
and a half of carbolic acid last evening
in her apartments, at the Cascade, NO.
265 Central Park West. Her husband,
DR. Arthur Zentler, a dentist, found her
unconscious a few minutes later.
For the last two years. her friends say,
she had been of the belief that her hus-
band no longer cared for her. and was
intensely jealous of every woman who
came to him for treatment.
About $50 o'clock Dr. Zentler came
from his office and knocked on his wife's
door, then pushed it open and found her
lying on the bed, fully dressed, uncon-
scious. A three ounce bottle of carbolic
acid, half empty, lay on the floor.
Had Been Under Treatment.
DR. Zentler placed her under the care
of DR. Goodhart about year ago, and
he tried to drive the feeling from her
u. ,.
West 11Sth street, and her son, Somers
McWade, who arrived at the apartment
a few minutes after Mrs. Zentler's
death, having come to cali on her. said
that her sole topic of conversation
among her friends was her fear that her
husband did not love her and that she
was a stumbling block to hts success.
n he, hut NJ re
Zentler died in spite of all he could
do. shortly after 6 o'clock. A brief note
on the dressing table was the only COM
muntcation she left, and DR.. Zentler
tore it up as soon as he had read it, but
DR. Goodhart said that it told him his
wife felt she could not live any longer in
his way and hoped he would be happy.
DR.. Zentler, who is graduate OF the
University of Pennsylvania, continued
his studies at Dresden, Germany, and
while on a trip to Zurich, Switzerland,
three years ago, met the young woman
who became his wife. They were mar
riedsat Dresden and lived there for
wear. Then they came to New York. and
DR.. Zentler took apartments at the Cas-
ga de. and set ABOUT acquiring NEW vi n
practice From that time the young
woman became intensely jealous, and
nothing that her husband or her friends
could saw or do could convince her that
her jealousy was merely delusion.
Was to Go to Europe.
In the hope that change of scene
would be of benefit to her. DIR. Zentler
recently decided on trip to her old
home in Switzerland. and had arranged
to sail for Europe on next Wednesday.
But even the prospects of the European
trim did not cheer Mrs. Zentler up.
Where she purchased the acid with
which she ended her life is not known.
Before she took the poison she removed
all trace of the label from the bottle,
apparently by slipping it off before it
had time to dry
DR. Zentler is well known in dental
circles, having written a number of
dental treatises in English. French and
German among them pamphlet on the
care of the mouths OF the poor. He is
about thirty-siX years old,
