INTERESTING CASES TO Be
TRIED COMING JULY COURT
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. DIVORCE
CASE OF SMYRNA LISTED
Also the Divorce Case of a Former
Dover Girl-Appeal From the
Register of Wills to be Heard


Register of Wills to be Heard
In the list of cases for Trial and
Argument just issued by the Prothon-
otary of Kent County for the coming
July Term of the Superior Court of
Kent county is scheduled an appeal
case from the Register of Wills Of
Kent county being the case of Joseph
R. Smith, Executor, under the last
Will and Testament of Mary A. Cor
don, deceased and Violet Crew and
Mabel K. Mitchell, devisees, VS.. Daniel
Cornelius Crew, Robert Crew, Benja-
min Crew, Howell Caldwell Crew, Jas.
Shepherd, Jr., and Warren Crew. This
case attracted much attention when
being herd by the Register of Wills
during which strong intimations were
shown that undue influence had been
exercised in the making of the will.
There also appears on the argu-
ment list, the following divorce cases
for hearing: Bertha Young Cove from
Thomas Scott Cove, annulment of
marriage; Samuel L. A. Morgan from
Caroline Morgan; Alexander Watson
from Alice D. Watson; Estelle Schrei-
ner from Edwin a Schreiner; Lizzie
Ennis from John H. Ennis; Angelica
K. Cope from Lauren c. Cope; Louisa
B. Anderson from James M. Ander-
son, annulment of marriage; Robert
B. Ellingsworth from Bessie M. Ell
ingsworth.
In two of the above cases special
interest attaches, one being the case
of Estelle Sch1einer from Edwin A.
Schreiner. This is the case which
was heard by the court two, terms ago,
the court at that time refusing to
grant the divorce, and the case was
continued by counsel, John D. Haw-
kins. Estelle Schreiner is one and the
same party who is also known as Es-
. telle Labelle, mother of the five year
old, Edwin Schreiner-LaBelle who is
alleged to have been kidnapped from
the home of Mrs. Schreiner-Labelle's
mother in Smyrna, on May 81, by
Ross LaCroix, now confined in the Jail
at Dover awaiting trial on the charge
of kidnapping, a capital offense.
At the hearing of LaCroix, Schrein-
/ er or LaBelle as he was known pro
fessionally, appeared at the hearing
= with his wife and returned with hel
E to Smyrna, where he remained few
days before going bak to his work a
: Atlantic City, N. j., where he is sup
4 posed now to be. Just what dispo
V sition will be made of the SchreineT
c LaBelle divorce is looked forward wit
/ considerable interest.
The second case of interest is th
annulment of the marriage of Louis
l Baker Anderson from James M. Ar
y derson, being the case in which Al
derson, a balloonist while in Dover
a carnival in July 1919, became az
quainted with the Baker girl and
week later married her and wit
whom he lived for quite while b.
fore it was known that he already hs
wife living in the South. AndersC
Y was arrested and brought TO Dow
> and on pleading guilty TO the Offen'
of bigamy was sentenced TO two@yea
in the New Castle County Workhou
where he is now confined.

SCHOOL OFFICIALS WARNED
Authorities Told They Should Streng-
then High School Teaching Forces

Authorities Told They Should Streng-
then High School Teaching Forces
A warning to Delaware school au-
thorities that they had better take
every opportunity to strengthen their
high school teaching forces was made
today by A. o. Neal, of the United
States Bureau of Education. Mr.. Neal
said that with evidence there would
he more than $4,000 vacancies in the
ranks of high school teachers through
out the country, salaries must be rais-
ed and improved conditions created
and that he would advise all school
authorities to lose no time in gather
ing into the fold the teachers avall7
able.
The warning came after the De-
partment of Education had made a
survey of the high schools and their
needs and had received information
from more than 1000 schools. In the
1000 schools there are now oo'oot
teachers and 1925 teachers will be
needed to provide for the normal IN
crease in enrolment and to take the
nlaces of those teachers leaving the
schools for other work. With these
reports as basis for his calculations
Mr.. Neal says that 25,97S teachers
will be needed.
To apply this demand Mr.. Neal say'
his reports show only 1O,62O gradu
ates from universities and coiiege
who are preparing to enter the RANK
of high school teachers. 1T may D
possible to induce other gradua'e
and some former teachers TO retur
to the ranks, but without such assls
tance, Mr.. Neal says, more than 10
900 teachers will be needed and not .

and it is being more generally recog-
nizcd that with the large demands
for goods AT present high levels the
price of Southern cotton is relative
ly cheap. According to the law Of
supply and demand, cotton should
be selling for 60 cents, the price that
tho American Cotton Association
recommended for the remainder of the

after careful review of the first crop
and weather reports of the season,
state by state and after comparison
with private reports from every state
in the Eclt. we have arrived at the
conclusion that this is likely TO be an
other season Of short yield and that
from the beginning it Is doomed TO he
a short crop. IN the few sections of
the belt whcre planting has been done,
Serminatlon is very unsatisfactory
mainly because Of the low temDcra-
turc that has prevailed and the first
planting went to naught in large areas.
In many places in the belt it has
been planted now the third time be-
fore GettinE stand TOO much rain

injury to the crops, especially cotton.
There has never been time

TO say to spots holders that if the
