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. MILEAGE HEARING ISSETFORDGT.IO Change of Date Is Made at the Request of Representative of Railroads.

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.

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.
