TAKEN FOR THIEF
■LEMING
Postmaster. Aged 60. Keeping
Tryst With Maid of 41, Is
Placed Under Arrest.
WILDWOOD. J.. Sept. 3—The
course of mature love does not run
smooth here, it seems. Horace F. Leidig.
60 ■ ears old, postmaster at Ottens, has
been arrested as a burglar.
Henry E. Ottens, the most influential
citizen of the borough, declares he dis
covered Leidig in his laundry. The post
master reluctantly avows that, far from
being a burglar, he was in the laundry
to keep an appointment with Miss Kate
jitens. who has reached the not imma
ture age of 41 years. Leidig swears he
has been courting Miss Ottens for a
year at least, and that she has not ap
peared unresponsive.
The aged postmaster asserts he was
arrested only because he removed the
postoffice from a building Ottens owns.
This Ottens denies, saying emphatically:
"It is ridiculous to say I caused Lei
dig's arrest in a spirit of revenge I
found the old man in my house at night
and I am going to press the charge of
burglary against him. I object to his
character and that is all there is to it.”
Tells of Secret Wooing.
Leidig. who was bailed promptly, com
plained rather bitterly that he had been
compelled to meet Miss Otens secretly
tn do his courting. The suitor of three
score years said he has met Miss Ot
tens for ten or fifteen minutes each even
ing when she went to the basement of
her brother’s house for ice water. To
prove he is not a burglar, and had been
trying only to break into the affections
of Miss Ottens. Leidig exhibited several
endearing letters today which she wrote,
be said. One assured him she will be
true always.
Leidig said further that last evening he
arranged for a meeting with Miss Ot
tens through a housemaid. She assured
him Ottens and Mr. Duncan, who is at
the Ottens cottage, were going out for
the night and that nobody would be in
the house but Mrs. Duncan, who is ill,
and the cook.
He Finds Laundry Open,
leidig then made an engagement and
arrangements for the laundry to be left
open. As soon as he closed the post
office he went to the cottage, and find
ing the laundry door open he walked
in and waited for Miss Ottens to ap
pear.
Soon be heard footsteps. Ottens came,
and. in a rage, struck him with a round
of the balustrade and summoned one
Levering, a policeman.
Leidig was loath to involve Miss Ot
tens until be found the charge of bur
glary would be pushed against him. Then
be told.
Leidig will sue Ottens. Ottens says
!/•.dig is married and his wife lives in
Philadelphia.
Leidig denied this.

RENT INCREASES
i FORGEOUTFIRNIS
Merchants Declare They Can’t
Meet Big Advances —Many
Seek Cheaper Quarters.
September this year brought its usual
epidemic of moving, but not in years
has there been so many changes in the
location of uptown business houses.
More than a dozen prominent firms
sought new quarters this month.
High rents." said one business man
who was moving out. "What do you
think of our rental jumping from $5,100
to $12,000 a year? That’s why we had
to move. Couldn't make that in cigars
and soda water."
The Increased rents is a natural se
quel to the remarkable advance in prop
erty values as shown in recent sales of
uptown business sites. Some of the
small concerns in Peachtree and White
hall and the streets close by are paying
rentals which would be out of the quest,
tion were not business equally as re
markable.
Ihe highest rental paid in Atlanta,
location and size of property consid
ered, is said to be that of a cigar store
and soda fount just north of the Kim
ball house Peachtree entrance. The
lease, it is said, calls for $15,001) a year,
with $5,000 of improvements to be ex
pended each year by the lessee, making
a total of $20,000 per annum. The lease
is for six years. Another cigar store
a few yards north of this pays $17,500
a year rental, but it sublets a part of
its lease-hold at a high figure.
One small store in Marietta street,
between Peachtree and Broad, had its
rental raised, beginning September 1,
from $3,600 a year to $7,700, more than
100 per cent.

I GIRL WHO BROKE"HER
TROTH WITH CATLIN
NOT ENGAGED AGAIN
WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.—"T«j.at rtl
! mor is absurd. I don't see why people
i start such lying tales about me."
In this vigorous manner Miss Lau
ra R. Merriam today denied the ru
mor. circulated in connection with the
announcement of the breaking of her
engagement to Theron E. Catlin, of St.
Louis, that she is engaged to wed an
other man. Catlin is the Missouri rep
resentative who was unseated by con
gress at the last session.
"I don't see how any one has the
nerve to question me about such a
delicate matfer." said Miss Merriam
when asked why her engagement to
Mr. Catlin was broken. "I only wish
I could tell you the real reasons for it.
It was the result of a mutual agree
ment between us. but I can not say
more than that.”

chiefly on October. This option advanced
from 10.55 to 10.95, while other positions
developed irregularity vfrom- the opening
prices. The weather condition through
out the holidays was clear and warm
which proved beneficial to the crop forc
ing maturity.
Shortly after the call shorts began to
cover heavily and through their aggres
siveness prices developed a further upward
movement, carrying October to 11.18, ag

placing the figures at 74.8. against 7‘J.S a

73.6. showing a small deterioration from
the previous month figures of 1.7 per cent.
The report was considered as h< ’risk

growing season. Immediately after the
report was published traders from every
source began to liquidate heavily. whie>
caused its usual depressing effect and
prices quickly reacted, aggregating a loss
of 3 to 9 points under the opening prices,

position and prices developed a tendency
to bound forward, regaining the early
decline. Prices during the last half hour

lost 6 to 7 points since Friday, which she
recovered this morning. Spots L points
up since Friday. Sales continue very
small—l3.ooo hales since Friday I’he re
covery in Liverpool today was partly due
to the fear of a further disturbance to

warm, except in the Western states,
where it was cloudy with some light
scattered showers. Indications point to
unsettled weather with showers in the
