GOT A REAL LORD
sHOLTo GEORGE DOUGLASS AR-
 RESTED IN PORTLAND.
Police Now Do Not Believe That He Hs the Pseudo NobIeman Wanted By
 the Asheville. N. C., Author


 Portland, Me, Aug. f---Instead of hav- ing in custody an American bigamist known as Lord Douglass" wanted by the authorities Of many States. as was first supposed. the Portland police. it is thought. have detained Lord shoito Douglass. third son of the late Marquis Of Queensbury.
 Several days ago a Portland detect- i've was requested by the police of Asheviile. N, C.. to arrest a man who rented cottage on the shore of Sea- bago Lake. in May. The officer went to the Lake yesterday and detained a man known at the Lake rosorts as & q, Douglas. The Ashevifie police were notified of the detention of the man. but the local authirities suspected from the first that a mistake had been made and they refrained from making pap- lie the occurrence.
 The suspect regarded the arrest hu- morously and told the officers who call- ed on him that he was Lord Sholto George Douglas. With him were two persons. who. he said. were Lady Doug las and their son. So convincing was his story that the local police notified the Asheville police today that in their opinion the man was what he claimed tc be and advised his release. A firm of bankers in Portland stat ed today that the man detained Is reaI- ly Lord Sholto Douglas.
 Tonight .he police sent a cebiegram to Scotland Yard. London, asking for information If the reply. which IS ex- pected tomorrow. Is favorable to tho man under detention. he will be releas- nA

Chairman Sherman Announces Rally
 ing Cry of RepubIican Committee.
 New York. Aug. 1.--Congressman Sherman, who is chairman of. the Re- publican Congressional Committee, .ame down from Utica yesterday and formally got to work on the voluminous nail which has accumulated since he appealed through the newspapers to ev- ry Republican voter to contribute $1 70 the campaign fund. Mir. Sherman Iaid that the result of the appeal was extremely gratifying.
 T do not want to go into exact de- laiIs." he remarked, ,''but can say that he replies containing s1 for tbe fund lave already reached well up into four igures. Today alone were received nore than 200 replies, so we have ev- ,ry reason to be satisfied with the re- Iult of this new departure in solicit ng campaign contributions. Among ,oday's contributions were some from Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Wiscon- in, Virginia, Missouri and every one ,f the Eastern States and New Eng and.
 we have figured that probably not nore than ten Republicans in 100 will rec the appeal. If one out of every len Republicans. however, sends us a tollar, we will have enough to meet ihe expenses of our campaign. Accord lng to the vote for Roosevelt, there are 100000 Republicans in the country. One dollar from 1 per cent. of these you'd give us $76,o0o."
 Mir. sherman was asked what the raI- wing cry of the campaign would be. ae answered.:
 "Prosperity and Roosevelt. and you nay say that the record of the last Congress will also be made a part of he argument to voters. We have ev- .ry reason to be proud of that record utbough prosperity and Roosevelt Is inspiring enough. You can add all the details that go with that, but it is a title early for details"
