WILLING TO RETURN
Accused Man Demands That
Requisition Papers Be
Secured for Him.

THERE is NO DOUBT THAT SUCH
PAPERS WILL BE ISSUED WITH
ONLY A DELAY OF A FEW
DAYS.

George Lipscombe refuses to return

honored by Governor Harris of Ohio,
Lipscombe is wanted in this city for
stealing SO from the cash register at
the City restaurant about two weeks
ago He was arrested in Columbus.
o., Thursday by a detective on the Co
lumbus police force and Chief Bailey
was at once informed of Lipscombe's s
capture Sergeant McManus was de-
Richmond, and he left for Columbus
Thursday afternoon, confidently ex-
pecting to have his man safely behind
the bars of the city jail today.
Petition to the Governor.
About 9 O'Clock this morning Ser
geant McManus telephoned Chief Bail
ey from Columbus stating that he had
found Lipscombe but that he
had refused to return to Richmond
unless requisition papers were secured.
Prosecutor Jessup was informed and
he has prepared a petition asking for
requisition papers which has been sent
to Governor Hanly. The governor IS
quite i'll and it may be some time be-
fore the requisition papers are pre-
pared. In the meantime Sergeant
McManus is playing a waiting game at
Columbus.
Has Little to Gain.
Just what object Lipscombe has in
insisting on being requisitioned is
not known. 1t is practically certain
that Governor Harris. of Ohio, will
honor the requisition of Governor Han
1y. SO Lipscombe is only delaying for
few days his undesired journey to
Richmond He probably will fight
the charge made against him. but the
state has a strong case against him
and the state prison looks to be his
finish.
Chief Bailey states that he has been
informed that Lipscombe is an ex
convict. having at one time served
three-year sentence in the Indiana
state prison at Jeffersonville. 1t is
not known what crime the young man
was convicted of. if any.

we'll below the hips As may be readily understood, this is not an easy problem to solve, but then the dressmaker's art is today so well developed that any modiste worthy of the name can make an effective design becoming alike to the stout figure and the slender, to the tall or the petite. White chiffon is too soft to be easily embroidered, the nets that are so fashionable this year are many of them works of art in their elaborate hand embroidery.
 All sorts of innovations in pat terms are developing daily in the new pongees that are arriving. The latest among the new corners has 8 deep border. The ground is an ivory white spotted with quarter inch discs of green, navy blue or black and the border is spattered with half-inch discs of the same tone. The silk is 53 inches wide, S3.50 yard. Borders are also to be found in the gauges. A partic- ularly striking exatmple is the chif- fon cloth striped with black and white, which has a border made up of horizontal stripes of black and white, over which is thrown a pop py design.

FASHION LETTER

New York, March At present
 black and white effects are much in
 vogue, especially in light, transpar-
 ent. textures, as lace, net, gauge and
 chiffon. Black chiffon elaborately
 made over silk with lace, jet en-
 brodery and spangles makes most
 seryiceable dress and one that will
 look smart at any time. The black
 and white striped chiffons are still
 seen in great numbers, but have
 lately been somewhat superseded by
 the printed chiffons. These gowns
 when elaborately tucked with the
 white showing distinctly between
 the tucks to tighten it are indeed
 very stylish. The bodice is usually
 made suitable for the evening by
 lace collar and deep yoke with the sleeves wholly of, in some cases. the
 lace and white chiffon. The en- broidery on the gown may be en- tirely of black and white, but touch of color in gold or silver or light passementerie is worked in is always in combination with plain black jet and paillettes serve to make black gown more noticeable and for handsome dress the con- spicuous should always be striven for so long as it keeps within the limits of good taste
 The inevitable black dress as it is sometimes called, is always a most useful possession. and an infinite variety of effects can be had with the different materials that are to be obtained Soft clinging fabrics are first in favor, as has been stated in these letters before, but there are also heavier materials to be had that are just as fashionable, while chiffon velvet has lost none of it's A most fascinating gown of this description is in Elm pire style, but has panels let into the skirt below the hips There is a narrow yoke of white lace border ed with embroidered bands of vel vet cut on the straight. Below the yoke the material is draped just across the bust in such a fashion that it gives the effect of folds of the material taken from the fronts under the arms to between the shoulders where there is a fancy gold buckle from which falls the long folds of velvet to the hem of the skirt. The sleeves are. quite small. shirred puffs, with embroid- cred cuffs to match the yoke Col ored chiffon velvet gowns are also very fashionable for wear at the theater and restaurant dinner and a number are to be seen every evening and the most fashionable model seems to be the empire and princess styles.
 More and more are the yellow and russet shades coming to the fore, and while it does seem out of place in a whole dress, especially those shades of the more brilliant tints, yet as trimming nothing gives such a wholesome hit of color. Two costumes noted during the past week serve to illustrate the of this new note in color. combination and its demon stration of how yellow may be used with rare effect.
