from the highest officials to inquire

suit in a general court martial being
ordered for Carroll, who was made to
pay fine of $50, when military au-
thortties declare his ofYense was pun

prison.
With a view of having the case

GREENSBORO. N. c., August IL
The North Carolina State Republican
convention, held here yesterday, after
an ail-day session fighting over party

not taken until stirring speeches had
been made by partisarls of Duncan and
Morehend.
Colonel Harry Skinner, former dis

initteeman and candidate for state
chairman, excitedly demanded, Name
your mani" Colonel Skinner refused
TO mention any names, but the con-
ysntion took in the substance of his
strong defence of the Taft administra-
ton.
The vote for Morehead for chair
man indicated so large a majority that
all other candidates Withdrew before 1t
