MuRDER AT BIG SOLDIER
Jim PoIona Killed S,lvatore Pettinatto
and Escaped.

Sunday afternoon another murder
occurred at No. 1876 boarding house at
Big Soldier. where an Italian was
killed less than two years age. Jim
Palona boarded at 1856 aud Salvatore
called at the boarding house and said
he wanted To see Jim alone They
went up stairs to Jim's room and what
took places between them is not known.
After while Jim Polona came down
stairs alone and in a few minutes went
out Of the boarding house. When
Salvatore did hot come down stairs in a
reasonable length OF time, some person
went up stairs to look for him and found
him laying on the floor dead with two
bullet holes in his body. Both shots
struck him in the back, just below the
right shoulder blade and were taken
out near the eft breast.
1t is CLAIMED that Salvatore had been
annoying Jim to get him 10 join the
Black Hand Snciety. which he per-
s~istently refused to join, and that
Salvatore had requested Jim to go up
stairs Sunday afternoon with him for
the purpose Of insisting that he join the
society.
County Coroner Kyle was at Soldier
yesterday morning to view the body and
get some Information in the case. but
he did @ hold an inq uest. Hughes&
Fleming, undertakers of Reynoldsville,
buried Salvatore in the Big Soldier
cemetery yesterday forenoon. He is
survived by a wife.
The murderer skipped out and has
not been apprehended yet. Monday
afternoon five members of the State
~Constabulary got after a man at Wishaw
whom they thought was the murderer,
but he managed to slip onto the trolley
for Reynoldsville and came to town. A
telephone message was sent to Chief-of-
Police Adelsperger and the co~nstabulary
maze a wild ride into Reynoldsville
after the trolley and got here a few
minutes after the trolley arrived, but
Chief Adelsperger had the supposed
murderer in the lookup when the state
officers got here. He was not the man
who killed Salvatore.

PROF. SCOTT INTERVIEWED.
He States Some Facts That Every
Parent Should Consider Carefully.

Parent Should Consider Carefully.
One day last week Prof c. j. Scott,
superintendent of the public schools Of
this borough, In conversation with q
representative of THE STAR about the
schools, said:
ut is very urgent that the parents
cooperate with teachers In at least
three things.
First: In giving careful attention
to monthly reports. Every pupil Of our
schools receives a carefully made out
report OF his or her preceding months
work. These reports are the result of
several days Of conscientious work on
the part of the teachers and merit more
than a cursory glance by the parent.
II the monthly average is less than SO
per cent or any one study is given a
grade of 65 per g or less, this report
is unsatisfactory to us. The parent
should also note carefully the grade
given for conduct or application.
Every pupil was given his report book
on Friday, Nov 9th, for his second
months work.
Second: Parents should cooperate
with teachers in securing some home
study evenings. Every pupil above
the primary schools should do some
studying at home, especially so with
the grammar schools and high schools.
The cause OF failure In many instances
in the higher grades is due to lack OF
home study.
Third: Another very important
thing for parents consideration is
punctuality and regularity of attend
ance. No pupil car succeed in his
work II irregular in attendance. Many
a pupils school life and, hence, his
future life, is an utter failure from this
cause. Pupils are often permitted and
even asked, to remain away from school
on trivial excuses. The pupil gets be-
hind his class, fails, becomes discour-
aged and leaves school or at his best
remains and derives but little benefit
from his work. Every parent is urged
to see that his boy or giri is rarely or
never tardy or absent"
Prof. do you know that a number of
pupils are on the streets at night?
Eyes, and parents are urged to guard
their boys and girls against the de-
--
tions, and to realize that il a hoy uses
tobacco his school work will suffer-"
Every parent should have a talk with
the teacher and principal about their
boys or girls school work, especially
so If there is the least dissatisfaction.
