MANY TEACHERS SEEK JOBS.
Situation in Sussex County Goes TO
Other Extreme.

GEORGETOWN, Del, Sept 81
With not enough school teachers on
hand a few days ago to keep all the
schools running, the Sussex School
Commission now is so overrun with
applications from other states that
1t is kept busy answering letters. The
cause of the lack OF teachers was Civ
en- out as being low salaries, but,
from the number of applications re-
ceived' there must be many who are
willing to work for small pay.
Up to Saturday nearly 500 letters
had been received from teachers who
were out of work and who wanted POI
sitions in Delaware, but at present
all the positions have been filed, and
there are enough extra teachers to
open several more new schools.

the legitimate son and heir of the late
Lord Lionel SackYilie Sackville- West, with
drew abruptly from the case to-day, fol-
lowing a disa greement with his client as TO
his procedure.
Several depositions denying the rcputed

arose and announced his retirement in con-
sequence of letter which had just been
handed him by his client and in which he
was instructed TO request the court for an
adjournment pending the production Of i'm
portant documents from Spain. The let
ter, which the barrister proceeded TO read
aloud, concluded:
Should Sir John Bista1n refuse I wish
you 10 retire from the case, as l dc not
care TO go on further with such an unfair
trial"
Edward explained that he was not
prepared to apply fer an adjournment. as
he could not say that the Spanish docu-
ments referred TO we're material to his
case. Accordingly he would withdraw.
The petitioners junior counsel followed
suit and Justice Bigham suspended the sit
ting for one hour TO allow the claimant
opportunity to consider the situation.
The action is defended by the present
Lord Sackyille, nephew of the former
British Minister TO the United States
Among the depcsitions offered when court
opened was 4 statement by the diplomat
in which he had said: When my daugh<
ters stared in Washington they passed as
nv legitimate children, but everybody knew
that they we're ilIegitimate" II was at the
conclusion Of the reading of this deposition
that Sir Edward announced his withdrawal
When court rcconvened the petitioner an
I1ounced that lie desired 10 plead his own
case. adding: Il know that / shall lose,
but I will have a good try. Thereupon
adjournment until tomorrow was taken.
