COUNSEL QUITS HIS
CASE SUDDENLY

London, February Sir Edward
Clarke. counsel for Ernest Henry
Sackville- West in the latters suit to
establish that ho is THE legitimate son
and cir of the late Lord lionel Sl tx
ville-west Withdrew abruptly from the
case today following q disagreement
with his ciienr as TO his procedure.
TIL, petitioners j;:n,or coanscl ;.ls o
withdrew.
The court took a short rccess after
which thefpetitioner announced his de-
sire to plead his own case.
Among today's dispositions was one
by Lord Sackville- West, former British
minister to the United States, in which
he said:
when my daughters stayed in
Washington they passed as my legit-
innate children but knew that they were
illegitimate."
Several dispositions denying the re-
ported marriage of the Lord Sackville-
West and Josefa Duran had been read
when Sir Edward arose and announced
his retirement in consequence of a let
ter 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
important documents from Spain. The
letter which the barrister proceeded to
read aloud concluded:
SHOULD Sir John Bigham refuse,
wish you to retire from the case as
do not care to go on further with
such an unfair trial.
Sir Edward explained he was not
prepared to apply for an adjournment
as he could not say that the Spa
documents referred to were material
to his case. Accordingly he would
withdraw. The petitioners junior coun-
sci followed suit and President Bigham
suspended the sitting for one hour to
allow the claimant opportunity to con-
slider the situation.
The action is defended by the present
Lord Sackville. a nephew of the former
British minister to the United States
1t was after the reading of the depo-
sition Nof Lord Sackyille- West about
the knowledge in Washington of the IL
legitimacy Of his daughters that Sir
Edward announced his withdrawal.
The petitioner in declaring he would plead
his own case said
IT know that 1 shall lose, but l
will have good try" Thereupon ad-
journment until tomorrow was taken.

Cherry, ILL.,, February s.-While the
work OF cleaning the passage way pro-
ceeded in the st. Paul mine sanitary
methods of removing the 167 bodies from
the underground tunnels and for the dis
position of the putrid water now in the
lower level were agreed on tonight by
state and village health officers
1t was decided that all the seepage
must be pumped from the 500 foot level
into a tank in the 350-foot level. This
tank will be supplied with strong disin-
fectants, so that the water will be harm
less before it is forced to the surface,

ANTARCTIC POLAR
TRIP is APPROVED

London, February 3.--Lieutenant Ernest
H. Shackelton, the Antarctic explorer
speaking tonight on the American south
pole project said the question is whether
the Americans can land on the side op-
posite to the British camp and not to the
left. The region there is unknown and he
considered it very doubtful whether a
suitable landing place could be found.
In addition to that. the explorer said,
the distance to the pole would be greater
and over entirely new ground so that the
Americans would be greatly handicapped
in comparison with Captain Scott who
will take a familiar route to within 81
miles of the pole.
Lieutenant Evans. Captain Scott's Sec
retnry, expressed similar views. He Is
OF opinion, he says, that Mr.. Peary will
come into contact with many difficulties
which he had not figured on. A line of
cleavage has been esta ablished between the
two political parties of Canada on the
policy of building a Canadian navy the
lieutenant said, and this was of far
greater Importance than the south sea
expedition.
