GROVE enters
PLEA Of GUILTY
Says He Killed Ed Johnson
in Boat
Claims Self Defence but Agrees
To Take Life Sen
tence.

The case against Josh Grove,
charged with the murder of Ed John
son was caleb in the Ohio Circuit
Cour. yesterday morning. After the
jury had been empaneled, the defend
ant entered a plea of guilty and the
attorneys for the Commonwealth con-
senttk to a verdict OF life imprson-
ment. Attorney Woodward made a
brief statement in which ne set forth
Groves claims as to the actual in
Clients attending the killing, to
VII 'ch no eye witnesses have ever
been found.
C.Swe says that when he went to
the river Johnson had his (Crowe's)
boat and was in the act of crossing
He called to johnson telling him he
had lis boat and that he pulled back;
that he got in with Johnson to take
him across ard that at some time,
white both men were in the boat,
johnson picked UP his shot gun and
with tie remark, 1--WE have had trou-

on the head with an oar. knocking
him out of the boat; that he came
up with an automatic pistol in his
haid and Grove again struck him in
the head with the oar and ne sank
finally.
This story is not accepted by the
public entirely. II is thought Grove
made friends with Johnson and when
an opportunity occurred struck him
with the oar. This theory has been
s,ivanced all the time by many people
who knew both men. It is not
thought that johnson would have
given Grove the advantage of TAX
ing him into the boat to attack him
as he would have had all to lose and
nothing to gain by such course.
The court house was packed when
She case went to trial by citizens
who were deeply interested in the
most noted murder case ever pre-
scented in Ohio county. The follow

or less a menace by the two police
forces. The Panamanian authorities
sayythat the problem is one for SOL
ution by the canal governmnet. The
question of the unemployed Jamaican
negro is simple. When he left his ma
tive shore to come to Panama to work
on the canal he was compellth to de-
posit Sc for his return passage when
his job here was done. Many of then
however, do not wish to return for
the ~eason that they are now accus-
toned to larger wages than ,ey
have ever been able to earn i'm ia
maica Besides, they say, the island
is already overpopulaed.
The question of higher wages and
over population also is true of the
q her West Indian islands. Then,
too, there is at present little or no de-
mand for this class Of labor in any
of The West Indies with the possible
exception of Cuba and Porto Rico, &C
cording to information here. 1t is
anticipated that the entire question
probably will have to be submitted
to the various counties from which
these laborers came.
Ancon Cemetery forms part Of the
site for the permanent canal govern
ment town of Balboa. 1t has been
decided to exhume all he bodies bur-
led there. Already more than 1000
bodies have been removed, most Of
them being cremateh. Others have
been shipped to the States and again
buried.
The cremsi ion is progressing at
the rate of thirty or forty bodies
a day. A total of 4,945 bodies have
to be disinterred ard cremated.
The French government soon will
build and own its legation building

able for afternoon visits, for rest
aurant luncheon and the like, for the
tailored frock is one of the features Of
the season and this one combining
a 6ne zibeline with velvet, Is ex-
ceedingly handsome.
The poIonaise or redingote idea is a
conspicuous one in the styles and the
garments are so graceful and so be,
coming that they have taken very
firm hold upon feminine fancy. At the
right of the illustration is shown a
redingote gown and beside it polonaise
over a plain skirt and the slight full
ness at the sides is absolutely new,
The full faring tunic gives graceful
lines and folds and the costume is alto
gether most attractive one. In the
picture the polonaise is made Of
broadcloth while the skirt and the
trimmings are Of velvet. The red
ingote costume is made of a novelty
material in shades OF green, with
black charmeuse in combination.

LATEST FASHION NOTES FROM THE
FASHION CENTERS

Full skirts are here. Circular skirts
and plated skirts, both have their
place in the latest modes, but the Jared
tunic has so many inherent good quail
ties, that it is not to be dislodged for
the winter season at least. An exceed
ingly new model, one that has been
recently launched is made with
redingote that extends within six
inches Of the edge of the skirt, and
flares and ripples with consummate
grace. The upper part Of the garment
is only slightly shaped to the figure,
but is drawn in more closely by means
of the wide belt that is slipped down
below the waist line, and which makes
an important feature OF winter fash
ions. The fronts are buttoned over in
double breasted style and an exceed
ingly handsome model is made of
prune color velours de lain, closed by
means of crouchet buttons Of black
silk, and finished with straight, stand
ing collar, and sleeve bands of skunk.
1t is exceedingly beautiful in color, in
cut and in line. 1t is rich and hand
some in effect. It is absolutely quiet
and unobstructive, and consequently
seems to fulfill all the season 8 require
lnents OF a gentle woman's costume.
A great many Of the new coats are
closed right up to the throat, and fur
trimming is being extensively used.
The straight band collar and straight
band cuffs makes one OF the simplest
forms and best liked. Since only a
muff is required with such a costume.
the fashion serves practical end, for
furs unquestionab}y must advance in
price under present conditions, and
the handsome neck pieces may not be
attainable by one and by all.
Military effects are conspicuous. A
great deal of braid is being used as
trimming, and frequently one hears
the braid referred to as a result Of the
military suggestion, but as matter
of fact. the braid appeared on models
exploited before the war was declared,
and unless that was due to some subtle
psychic suggestion, the great war is in
no way responsible for this entree, but
from whatever the suggestion was
obtained, however the thought origi-
mated, it is attractive and the military
effect is attained.
A very beautiful street tailored cos
tune that is exploited by leading
designer, is made of blue broadcloth.
combined with red, each color being
chosen in dark rich shade. The skirt
has tunic Of the blue cloth, that is
much fared, and extremely long, hung
over the foundation of the red, that i
laid in fiat p1aits.

II consists Of narrow two-piece foun.
dalton with circular tunic that Is
arranged over it, but this tunic extends
only to the depth Of the yoke and the
skirt is peculiarly desirable for wear
with the basque. Although whenever
advisable yoke can be arranged over
the upper part Of the foundation.
The little girls costume gives just
suggestion of the waistcoat that Is to be
found in the newest models. Here il Is
made of French serge bound with silk
braid and is worn over guimpe Of fine
lawn.
There are, however, great many
materials that will be pretty for such
dress. Broadcloth is extremely fash.
ionable this season and tfS design also
is good one for pique. cotton. poplir
and ratine. Since to-day cotton il
found in wonderful colors and beau
tiful designs, cotton costumes are
available everywhere. Every mothel
recognizes the advantage Of the grill

and it Is necessary to piece it within
few inches of the front edge. There
fore small piece of the pattern has
been cutoff and laid upon the cloth
to showjust where it can be cut. In
reality the coat would all be in one
piece, but for convenience in illus
trating it is shown in two
As a first step, lay the pattern out
carefully and pin into place. Then
mark ali around the outside edge with
taiIor's chalk or with whatever is most
convenient. Mark all the perforations
and the crosses, then cut out three
eighths Of an inch beyond the mark
outlined if the material is a closely
woven one and will not fray readily.
If it is loosely woven, allow wider
seams, but remember always that the
traced edge is the most important line
of all, for it gives the correct basting
and sewing line. and when that IS
faithfully followed the garment must
retain its shape and beauty. Before
removing the pattern from the cloth,
mark all the tracings, perforations and
crosses through to the under side with
tailor's tacks. To make these tacks.
take short stitches around the entire
outline about three quarters of an inch
apart, leaving the thread loose be-
tween. Take short stitch through
each perforation in any given line and
leave the thread loose in the spaces be-
tween. After all this is done, remove
the pattern. Gently separate the two
thicknesses OF cloth and clip the thread
you will find between. Then there will
be left on the under side succession Of

Embroidered crepe is the material
used for the second blouse with vest

effect that makes the one i'm

fashions. Circular skirts have come

the tunic that flares over the narrow

really beautiful one. The lines Of such
