day and only four were absent yesterday.
There has been no rumor of discomfort. say
the teachers. and the discipline Is all that
can be desired.
Reports of pupils scholarship were given
out last Monday. and 1t Is presumed that.
as usual, some pupils may have been dis
satisfied with their marks, but no complaint
has been made.
The principal today has been In receipt
of letters and messages Of apology from the
parents Of the alleged petitioners. declaring
the greatest confidence in the fairness or
the marking system at the school and the
general Justice of the administration, ana

Special Dispatch to The Star
TRENTON, N. j., March 9-The belief
here was that Mrs. Antoinette Tolia would
this afternoon obtain further reprieve from
the court of pardons preliminary to a new
trial, on the ground that Mrs. Toila's evil
dence In court when she was convicted was
not properly interpreted.
The court met this afternoon In ex-
traordinary session by call of Gov Stokes
Because of the governors action In calling
the court together was considered certain
that he will vote for a further reprieve and
that majority will vote with him.

Growth of Atlantic CITY

Few people who are not familiar
with the subject realize the won
derful growth of Atlantic City.
A lot 50x100 #. that cost 500
was sold a short time ago for $780,
600.
A property that cost $4,000 five
years ago was sold recently for
$150,000.
A property taken in exchange for
a debt of $500 is now worth at least
half a million.
A conservative estimate shows
that within the past twelve years
Atlantic City real estate values
have risen over 800 per cent, and
are still rising. The city has out
grown the boundaries of the is
land on which it stands, and there
has been a natural expansion to
the main land along the lines of
the trolleys and the railroads. This
has opened up home sites In many
respects superior to those on the
island itself.

PinehurSt'S Favorable Location

Situated on high upland, eighty
feet above Atlantic City, Pinehurst
offers advantages possessed by few
other points near the shore. 1t is
well wooded with pine and oak
that is left standing on the proper
ties for residential purposes. The
land is being sold to those who will
erect handsome dwellings, with
ample grounds.
The streets are all fifty feet
wide; the drainage and water ser
vice are of the highest character.
All improvements are at the eX-
pense of the company. A hand
some park has been laid out, and
there is a fine fresh water lake
near by.
The town site is traversed by
one of the finest automobile roads
in the world, connected directly by

Trolley Development

The electrifcation of the New
field branch of the West Jersey
Railroad has greatly enhanced val
ues of Pleasantville Terrace, and
the Reading Railroad is spending
$5,000,000 to introduce electric
cars on its tracks around Atlantic
City. The trolley service is short
ly to be extended to Pinehurst,
bringing it within twenty minutes
of the Boardwalk, and insuring
quick communication at all times.
With its other advantages, this
Will make Pinehurst the most ia
vored suburb of Atlantic City and
the high class Of the residents as
sured has already created large
demand for building sites. Several
fine hotels are projected and the
development of this point promises
to duplicate closely that of Lake
wood. In its accessibility to the
shore, Pinehurst has much the ad-
vantage over the former.

COMMITTED MURDER
To PROTECT HOME

Dubuque, Feb. 3.-William Clark
was acquitted by the jury Of the MUIR
Ter Of Leroy Sumner, whom he found
with his wife. Sumner had paid at
tention to Mrs. Clark for months
while he was with the defendant, run
ding a spindle wheel at county fairs,
etc. Clark warned him, and when he
found the two together he shot and
killed Sumner last October. The
jury had been out several hours.
The plea Of temporary insanity was
made. but the real defense was de-
Tense of his home. The sentiment
was strong here for acquittal, the
spectators in the court room cheer
Ing the verdict.
The fact that Clark took Sumner
when the latter was broke and frienI.
less and aided him to good position
ELECTED much sympathy from the
spectators. Sumner was at Lawler,
Iowa, last August and approached
Clark and begged for quarter to get
meal with, explaining that he was
friendless. They were together at
Dixie, Malcolm, Garden City and other
Iowa towns. When Clark discovered
that his wife had formed a liking
for Sumner, he pleaded with her and
she promised "to be good" but APP
pears to have been unable to with
stand the wiles Of her tempter.
