TH FOR THIEF'
MILE MODING
Postmaster. Aged 60. Keeping
Tryst With Maid of 41. Is
Placed Under Arrest.
WILDWOOD. N J., Sept. 3.—The
. ,- ? e of mature love does not run
-th here, it seems. Horace F. Leidig.
;n 'ears '>l'l. postmaster at Ottens, has
IP .ii arrested as a burglar.
lenry E. Ottens, the most influential
• • .pn of the borough, declares he dis
verec Leidig in his laundry. The post-
naster reluctantly avows that, far from
~, a burglar, he was in the laundry
keep an appointment with Miss Kate
'ittens. who ha’ reached the not imma
:re age of years. Leidig swears he
,i been courting Miss Ottens for a
f ,cj" at least, and that she has not ap-
; ,eared unresponsive.
t The aged postmaster asserts lie was
..rested only because he removed the
stoffiee from a buildirlg Ottens owns.
I . ottens denies, saying emphatically:
It s ridiculous to say I caused Lei
i arrest in a spirit of revenge. I
.I.i the old man in my house at night.
I am going to press the charge of
- .rglat” against him. I object to his
■ : icier and that is all there is to it.”
Tells of Secret Wooing.
I , i g. who was bailed promptly, com
,;a red rather bitterly that he had been
.mpelled to meet Miss Otens secretly
•o do his courting. The suitor of three
icore years said he has met Miss Ot
ens for ten or fifteen minutes each even
ng when she went to the basement of
, ie brother’s house for ice water. To
nr. r- he is rot n burglar, and had been
'.rjing only to break into the affections
'] .s Ottens. Leidig exhibited several
•r . ..ring letters today which she wrote,
-e raid. One assured him she will be
• ria always.
I ciiiig said further that last evening he
uranged for a meeting with Miss Ot-
• ihrough a housemaid. She assured
-■ ottons and Mr. Duncan, who is at
» Ottens cottage, were going out for
■he night and that nobody would be in
■: - bouse but Mrs. Duncan, who is ill.
mti the cook.
He Finds Laundry Open.
I.oiilig then made an engagement and
irrangements for the laundry to be left
pen. As soon as he closed the post
■•i'fi<•■. he went to the cottage, and find
ng the laundry door open he walked
in anti waited for Miss Ottens to ap
□ea*.
Soon he heard footsteps. Qtter.s came,
irrl in a rage, struck him with a round
' the balustrade and summoned one]
Levering, a policeman.
Leidig was loath to involve Miss Ot
tens until he found the charge of bur
glary would be pushed against him. Then
told.
Leidig will sue Ottens. Ottens says j
Leidig is married* and his wife lives in 1
Philadelphia.
Leidig denied this.

RENT INCREASES
FORCEDUTFIRMS
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 ques
tion were not business equally as re
markable..
The 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 $15,000 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
i 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,
j between Peachtree and Broad, had its
rental raised, beginning September 1.
from $3,600 a year to $7,700, more than
100 per cent.

GIRL WHO BROKE HER
TROTH WITH CATLIN
NOT ENGAGED AGAIN
WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.—“ That ru
mor is absurd. I don’t, see why people
] start such lying tales about me."
In this vigorous manner Miss Lau
ra B. 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 hou any one has the
nerve to question me about such a
I delicate matter,” 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.”

DAYS AT CALIF. FAIR
SACRAMENTO. CAL.. Sept 3.—01 d
time gold diggers from the Sferra, foothills
have been invited to attend the state fair
on ’49 day. September 18. A committee
of state fair boosters visited the foot
hill cities of Placerville, Auburn and other
places, where they saw many old timers
and urged them to take part in the cele
bration to revive the spirit of the times
of the gold rush.
Joaquin Miller, "Poet of the Sierras,”
will head a company of old timers on
the famous old Concord stage coach, in
which Horace Greely was driven by Hank
Monk on a visit to California.
The reproduction of the troubles of the
settlers in coming across the plains will
be held on the race track, when cowboys
dressed as Indians will ride bareback in
an attack on a train of prairie schoon
ers. A "lynching bee” by vigilantes will
also be on the program.

GOTTDN GLOSES
WITH GOOD GAIN
Bureau Report Causes Loss,
But Heavy Buying Brings
Reaction and Advance.
NEW YORK, Sept. B.—Following the
adjournment of the triple holiday and in
readiness of the government condition re
port to be issued today at 11 o’clock the
ootton market opened steady with first
prices a net advance of 8 to 24 points from
the closing prices of last Friday. After
the call a general buying wave prevailed
by some large spot interest, trading
chiefly on Octot>er. This option advanced
from 10.85 to 10.95, while other positions
developed irregularity from 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
gregating a net gain of 41 points from
the close of Friday. Other positions ag
gregated a 10 24-point advance.
At 11 o'clock, central time, the govern
ment issued its condition report on the
growing cotton crop as of August 25,
placing the figures at 74.8, against 76.5 a
month ago, and a ten-year average of
78.6, showing a small deterioration from
the previous month figures of 1.7 per cent.
The report was considered as bearish
when contrasted with previous reports of
the most critical month of the cotton
growing season. Immediately after the
report was published traders from ever)’
source began to liquidate heavily, which
caused its usual depressing effect and
prices quickly reacted, aggregating a loss
of 3 to 9 points under the opening prices,
or 19 to 33 points from the highest level
of the day. The October option seemed
to be under the heaviest, realizing pres
sure.
A heavy buying wave prevailed during
the afternoon, trading by large spot in
terests and commission houses rendering
their support, buying heavily of every
position and prices developed a tendency
to bound forward, regaining the early
decline. Prices during the last half hour
aggregated 20 to 27 points higher than
the low level. At the close the market
was firm with prices a net gain of 30 to
33 points from the final quotations of last
Friday.

HAYWARD CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 3. -Mr. Hester
makes the commercial crop for tiie sea
son 1911-1912, 1 5,138.426 bales. Liverpool
lost 6 to 7 points since Friday, which she
recovered this morning. Spots 2 points
up since Friday. Sales continue very
small—l3,ooo bales since Friday. The re
covery in Liverpool today was partly due
to the fear of a further disturbance to
shipping by the threatened dock strike at
Galveston. Many look for a widening in
the market parity. The weather over the
holidays was favorable, mostly fair and
warm, except in the 'Western states,
where it was cloudy wtth some light
scattered showers. Indications point to
unsettled weather with shower-', m the
Western stall s. continued fair and war n
generall) in central and eastern states.
The fair, warm weather cheeks insect
damage and promotes maturity.
our market opened about t-l points
higher in sympathy with the advance in
Liverpool and New York, but when the
cause of the advance In foreign markets,
the possibility of a disturbed export
movement by labor troubles, became :<,i
predated, our mark i eased and sold at
times under New York. Heavy and

CHARLES W. STORM.
NEM YORK. Sept. 3.—Following the
three holidays on the stock exchange, the
market opened irregular today, with a
number of Issues showing losses while
others were fractionally higher.
There was little trading In the first
few minutes. Reading lost % on its
first transaction, opening at 170%. Mis
souri Pacific was up %. United States
Steel common was % higher at he begin
ning, but later last %. Amalgamated
Copper advanced %, but Smelting de
clined %.
Pennsylvania was unchanged, as was
Atchison, but on the first few sales the
former gained %.
Union was % under Friday s
closing.
. Th , e curb was Irregular Americans in
London firm. Canadian Pacific there was
under pressure.
A heavy tone was shown in the general
list in the late forenoon. Canadian Pa
cific was under pressure, declining 3
points to 272%. Soo common was also
weak, falling 2% to lso. A loss of 3
points was sustained in American To
bacco. Declines in other Issues were
confined chiefly to fractions.
Increased pressure was exerted against
the market in the late afternoon trad
ing when prices of nearly all of the im
portant issues sustained losses of 1 point
or more from the range prevailing around
noon. The support which was noted in
the market in the last half of the fore
noon seemed then to be withdrawn. Steel
common was supplied more freely than
been for many weeks, selling down
to .2'4, against 73% at the opening.
Amalgamated Copper, which sold earlier
in the day at 87%. fell below 86, and
a decline of more than 1 point was sus
tained In both Utah Copper and American
-Smelting. The railroad list also was un
der ftressure.
The market closed heavy.
Government bonds unchanged. Other
bonds steady.
