NOT A DOLLAR LIMIT.
Managers of Congressional Campaign Would Not Accept Money if Offered.

Washington, Aug 23.-Let mo- body make the mistake of supposing that the political campaign this year Is "a dollar limit game just because both congressional committees have asked for dollar contributions to their campaign funds. The dollar contributions are very acceptable at the headquarters of both committees, but the indications now are that II some more substantial donations are not made, the committees will nnd themselves seriously embarrassed be- fore election day"
 This was the summary made to- day of the financial condition Of the committees of the republican and democratic parties by a politician in close touch with the campaign.
 "The campaign this year." he con tinued, twill require considerable money on both sides and unless II should be forthcoming there may be T practical putting up of the political shutters. If man should walk into the headquarters of either the repub- lican or the democratic party ana write his check for few thousand dollars he would get such reception as would throw that which Bryan Is to receive in New York next week In the shade. If corporation should happen to send substantial check to either committee not the slightest doubt exists that 1t would be cashed and no questions asked. It takes money and lots of 1t, too. to hire headquarters. to pay clerks, to hire special trains, to foot hotel bills to obtain postange stamps and to de- fray the thousand and one necessary expenses of a political campaign and. ordinarily. money from any source IS not scrutinized too closely by cam- paign managers who make them- selves. in many instances. personally responsible for the expenses in' cured"
 As a matter of fact. both campaign committees expect to receive some good contributions this year. as 1T | the past, and are not depending ab solutely on the dollar subscriptions Many of the big interests of the coun | try are as anxious as ever to con 
 tribute toward the support of th' party that will promote their bust ness, and. as a matter of sentimen or of business or both, some con cerns make donations to the com mittees of both of the leading par ties.
 The dollar limit" idea. which ha been adopted by both the republi can and the democrats. is not origina with the republican committee whicl first announced this year that 1 would welcome subscriptions of tha amount. For many years the nation al and state campaign committees O the prohibition party have sought th
 pocketbooks of the faithful througl the dollar route. and they usually ge together considerable money. The
 did not depend. however. on merel
 the dollar contributions. man,
 wealthy prohibltionists being nota
 biy liberal in their support of tn
 party.

The Revolution Grows.

New Orleans, Aug 23.-The Plca- yune's special cable from Havana says:
 In spite of government denials the revolutionary movement in Cuba has assumed formidable proportions. The whole island is in ferment over the uprising and It Is impossible to pre- dict at this time what the final result will be- The government claims that 1t will be able to suppress the revolt within two or three weeks, but conservative people who have been closely watching the drift of events do not believe that the revolution can be crushed so easily. The revolution fists have been preparing for. the struggle ever since the presidential election and the Palma administra- ton has underestlmated their strength.
 It Is known that several cargoes of arms and ammunition have been landed in Cuba from the Florida coast during the past two months and the insurgents are abundantly sup piled with war material.
 It Is believed by many Havana business men that it-will-be neces- sary for the United States to inter- vene and annex the island before the revolution will be crushed. Annexa- ton Is openly favored by the com mercial interests in all of the larger cities and towns in Cuba. The revo' lutionary leaders even prefer annexa- tion to the United States to contin- uation of present conditions. The American residents on the isle of Pines have taken sides with the revo. lutionists against the Palma govern ment and they are giving the lnsur- gents all the aid possible. The isle of Pines will be an important base of operations for the revolutionists

KID ELY CRACKS
JOKE AND SMILES
NOTORIOUS DIAMOND NIPPER
AGAIN "AT HOME"
Grins Through the Cell Door at
Reporter and Tells Him a
Good Story on a
"FIy 5uIp

The notorious "Kid" Ely, said to he
the most expert diamond 'nipper' in
the country, was brought back to Los
Angeles yesterday afternoon i'm the Gus
tody of Detectives F'lammer and Ritch.
He was arrested here for attempting
to take a diamond pin from j. o. Cole
man during a rush at the postoffice
window Sunday morning, January 21.
. Ely gave the name of Johnson when
arrested and his case was set for trial
before Justice Rose, On the date set
Ely failed to appear in court and his
bail of $3.50 was declared forfeited.
He was located in Buffalo. N. Y, and
Detectives Flammer and RitCh went
after him.
When asked about Ely's alleged at
tempt at escape al Philadelphia both
detectives declared that 1T was news
paper story without any foundation.
"Why, Ely was too closely guarded
to have any such an opportunity to
get away from us, said Captain of De-
tectives Flammer.
Both detectives said that the trip
was an uneventful one and that Ely
gave them no trouble.
Looks Prosperous
Ely looked fieshy and prosperous
when he walked into the jail.
He first was taken into the detectives
Office and soon was locked up.
He was seen by Herald reporter
but naturally enough was rather un-
communicative.
Say, do you know what a 'hy-bull'
just asked me?" growled Ely with
grim smile. He asked me if l had
pleasant journey. Now, what do you
think OF that? Me, a pleasant journey
back to the burg where l was pinched.'
The detectives found their man at
Buffalo where he was arrested by the
police of that city on telegraphic or
ders from Los Angeles. Ely was in
company with a woman calling herself
Stella Murray, who was arrested here
al the same time that Ely was caught.
She was discharged from custody
owing to lack of evidence. William
Ely, alias Joe Johnson, sent word to
his attorney, Earl Rogers, last evening.
and probably an attempt will be made
to secure the prisoners release on bail.
But with his recent flight in mind, it
does not seem likely that the expert
diamond thief will have another chance
to give legbail, say the police.
