CLIMB ON BAND WAGONp
Meeting Of State Executive Committee Called
for Next Week at Roanoke-Believed
Taft Will Be Endorsed,

Ing, is he question of deciding what
shall be done towards getting the two
factions of the G.. O.. p. in virginia to-
gether. II has been known here for
some time that Mr., Slemp and Alvah
Martin were pulling in double harness
on one side ana Commissioners OF In
ternal Revenue Cabell by himself on
the other. The situation is said to
nave given President Taft not a little
bit OF trouble. and it Is understood
that the Roanoke meeting Is TO be held
partly as a result of a tip sent down
the line by him to the leaders In tho
Virginia Republican party that they
must get together.
There is little doubt tina there will
be an effort to get on the band wagon
as was done when the North Carolin-
ians. with Marion Butler. Congressman
Morehead and others. met at Green's
boro and passed resolutions for Mr..
Taft.
Mr.. Slemp was not enthusiastic about
the meeting, when asked for particu-
lars to-day. He would not say for
what particular purpose 1t had beer
called-whether there would be an ef-
fort to bring the two factions together
or whether Mr.. TAFT would be indorsed,

District Supreme Court, charging nom
support, Otto Linaweaver. twenty-seven
years old, formerly of Manassas. Va.
was brought to Washington last night
nd locked up at the First precinct sta
ton.
He is held for failure to support his
-year-old daughter Ruth. who lives
with her mother in this city. He is
divorced
Accused of Abduction.
Several months ago Linaweaver courted
and won a young woman who lived near
StauntOn. Va. Linaweaver, the police
say, persuaded her TO come to Washing
ton to be married They were unable
to obtain a license when they reached
this city. owing to the lateness Of the
hour. and instead went to Rockville.
where the certificate was procured. The
father of the girl came to Washington
and caused Lima naweaver's arrest on q
charge of abduction.
The marriage at Rockville was inves-
tigatrd by the father. assisted by the
police and several false statements We're
discovered. Linaweaver swOTc to a false
name, giving an ali9S of Otto Lamont.
and also made affidaN to the girl being
of age, which was errbneOUs.
Convicted rs Perjurer.
Failing to obtain a warrant for ahduc-
ton against Linaweaver. the father had
him arrested on a charge OF perjury.
Linaweaver was arraigned on the charge
n Rockville. and after he was convicted
was sentenced to ninety DAYS in jail
there.
At the expiration of the sentence an
effort was made to bring him to Wash
ington on the nonsupport charge, but
LnaweHver fought the eXuadition. The
Maryland authorities held him for the
Washington police. and with the issu-
ance of the bench warrant the last OIL
stacle in the way of Linaweaver's 5 prose
cution was removed. He will probably
be arraisned before Chief Justice C!d-
