)ANCER'S SON SEEKS TITLE
Famous Sackville-West Case Draws
Crowds in London.
MARRIAGE OF LORD IN QUESTION
Son of Former British Minister and
Spanish Actress Trying 10 Prove
Right 10 Place in Eng
lish Peerage.

LONDON. Feb. la crowded court
room testified today to the public interest
In the SaekviTle peerase romance, another
chapter of which opened before Sir John
Bigham, president of the probate court.
The petitioner in the suit lis Ernest
Henry, SRckville-West, who asks the court
to declare him the eldest and legitimate
son of the late Lord Lionel Sackville-
West-British minister at Washington from
1881 to 1888 If he is successful he will ac-
quire the title to the estates now held
by Lionel f.. Sackville- West, a nephew OF
the diplomat, and at present Lord Sack
vile, who married his cousin, sister of
the petitioner. The present Lord Sack
vile denies that his uncle legally mar
ried Josefa Duran, the petitioners s
mother.
The court ldisallowed a similar claim in
1908 Ernest is the son of a Spanish
dancer who married Lord sackville in
Madrid. Subsequently Sackville claimed
the woman had a husband living when
she formed an alliance with him, and the
one son and three daughters born from
their union have never been recognized
by the courts as having any rights to the
Sackville title and estates
Noted counsel has been engaged by both
sides. Sir Edward Clarke, for the petit
toner said he proposed to prove the
marriage by reputation and the declara-
tions of Lord Sackvile himself on docu-
ments attached to certificates Of birth and
baptism OF his children.
Counsel laid stress on the fact that
some Of the birth certificates of the chill
dren and the death certificate of Josefa
Duran described the dancer as the wife
of Lionel Sackville-West.
Sir Robert Finley on behalf of the
present peer placed in evidence the testi-
mony given by Lord Sackvlle when
similar suit was brought during his life
time.
On that occasion the defendant swore
that the declarations which he had made
regarding his companion were inspired
solely by a desire to save the reputation
Of the lady He affirmed that there had
never been a marriage OF any sort and
that all the children born TO them were
illegitimate.
Sir Robert added he would prove that
the Duran woman married Antonio De
La OLIVIA In 1861. and that DIVA did not
die until 1888. Accordingly he said, IL
Lord Sackville had figured in any mar
riage, of which there was no evidence,
such marriage must have been illegal AS
the counsel for the defense concluded the
case was adjourned.

THAT DEFICIT.

and Governor Donaghey has
been successful in securing an
endorsement for a second term,
the Little Rock papers are giving
out some interesting information
that was carefully suppressed
until the result of the primaries
was known.
For instance, a few days ago
the Gazette devoted couple Of
columns to the matter Of a big
deficit that is approaching in the
states finances. According to
the Gazette, this deficit is newt
able and, according TO the Ca
zette again, Governor Donaghey
is not responsible for it. The
Gazette has become known as
Governor Donaghey's champion,
and his public apologist, and the
idea suggests itself to US that il
1.-The Gazette knows Donaghey is
not responsible for this deficit
then the Gazette must certainly
and necessarily know who is re.
sponsible for it. The Gazette
would confer a favor upon the
public if when it gives out infor-
nation of such general interest
it would not stop so suddenly on
halfway ground. When the
Gazette is so particular to state
who is not responsible for this
deficit, it might just tell who the
blame is to be laid upon, so the
public can be certain to make no
mistake.
Every thinking citizen knows
"tbere is a screw loose" some-
where in the management Of this
states affairs. There is leak
somewhere or there is wonderful
mismanagement somewhere. 1t
has not been so very long ago
that the state had plenty Of cash
on hand to meet all expenses and
you didn't hear Of any financial
difficulties in the departments of
