Tffl FOR THIEF
BILE MOOING
Postmaster. Aged 60. Keeping
Tryst With Maid of 41. Is
Placed Under Arrest.
WII.IiWOi >D. N J., Sept. 3.—The
. of mature love does not run
~,.. nth here, it seems. Horace F. Leidig.
ears old. postmaster at Ottens, has
arrested as a burglar.
Henry E. Ottens, the most influential
en of the borough, declares he. dis-
■ . red Leidig in his laundry. The post
master reluctantly avows that, far from
v ng a burglar, he was in the laundry
. ;.eep an appointment with Miss Kate
uteris. who has reached the not imma
. e age of 41 years. Leidig swears he
been courting Miss Ottens for a
, car at least, and that she has not ap
,<ared unresponsive.
The aged postmaster asserts he was
, rested only because he removed the
.stofftee from a building Ottens owns.
II s ottens denies, saying emphatically:
It is ridiculous to say I caused Lei
’ g'r arrest in a spirit of revenge. I
totmd the old man in my house at night
4 rl am going to press the charge of
.rglary against him. I object to his
■l-.uacter and that is all there is to it.”
Tells of Secret Wooing.
Leid'g. who was bailed promptly, com
yriired rather bitterly that he had been
impelled to meet Miss Otens secretly
o do his courting. The suitor of three
iccre years said be has met Miss Ot
ens for ten or fifteen minutes each even
ng when she went to the basement of
ler brother’s house for ice water. To
~.e he is, rot a burglar/ and had been
trying only to break into the affections
if Miss Ottens. l eidig exhibited several
•i haring letters today which she wrote,
-.e -aid. One assured him she will be
.: tie always.
Leidig said further that last evening tie
arranged for a meeting with Miss Ot
: through a housemaid. .She assured
(tiiens and Mr. Duncan, who is at
he Ottens cottage, were going out. for
•l.e night and that nobody would bo in
■ <■ house but Mrs. Duncan, "who is. ill,
and the cook.
He Finds Laundry Open.
Leidig then made an engagement and
t ran gement s for the laundry to be left
itpen. Xs seen as he closed the post
rffiee he went to the cottage, and find
ng the laundry door open he walked
in and waited for Miss Ottens to ap->
Soon he heard footsteps. Ottens came,
trd. In a rage, struck him with a round
' the balustrade and summoned one
Levering, a policeman.
I.eidig was loath to involve Miss Ot
•ns until he found the jharge of bur
glary would be pushed against him. Then
-a told.
Leidig will sue Ottens. 'Ottens says
Leidig is married and his wife lives in
Philadelphia.
Leidig denied this.

RENTINCREASES
iFORGEOUTFIRMS
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
I location of uptown business houses.
More than a dozen prominent firms
sought new quarters this month.
High rents." said one business man
rwho 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. < 'duldn't make that in cigars
! and soda water.”
The increased rents is a natural se
| quel to the remarkable advance in prop
city 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.
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-
I ball house Peachtree entrance. The
| lease, it is said, calls for $15,000 a year,
i with $5,000 of improvements to be ex
pended each year by the lessee, making
i a total of $20,000 per annum. The lease
lis 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.
i One small store in Marietta street,
i between Peachtree and Broad, had its
I rental raised, beginning September 1,
from $3,600 a year to $7,700, more than
I 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
j gress at the last session.
"I don't see how. any one has the
I nerve to question me about such a
I deiieate matter." said Miss Merriam
when asked why her engagement to
Mr. Catlin was broken. "1 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.”

COTTON CLOSES
m GOOD GAIN
Bureau Report Causes Loss,
But Heavy Buying Brings
Reaction and Advance.
NEW YORK. Sept. 3.—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
cotton 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 October This option advanced
from 10.85 to 10.95, W’hile 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
73.6, 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 every
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 the sea
i- n 1911-191.2, 13,138,426 bales. Liverpool
lost 6 to 7 points since Friday, which she
recovered this morning. Spots 2 points
up since Friday. Sales continue very
small —13,000 bales sinef' Friday. The re
covery in Liverpool today was partly due
to the fear of a further disturbance to
shipping by the threatened dock l strike at
Galveston Many look for a widening in
the market parity, 'i be weather over the
holidays was favorable, mostly fan - and
warm, except in the Western states,
where it was cloud}’ with some light
scattered showers. Indications point to
unsettled weather with showers in th<
Western states, continued lair and warm
generally in central and eastern states.
The fair, warm weather checks insect
damage and promotes maturity.
Our market opened about 11 points
higher in sympathy with the advance in
Ll’ t rp'.ol and Nev York, but when the
cause of the advance in foreign markets,
the possibility of a disturbed export
movement by labor troubles, became ap
preciated, our market eased and sold at
tunes tinder New York. Heavy and
steady buying was reported from New
York by the spot houses which had re
cently opposed the market strongly. No
explanation was given for this sudden
support, but the strong advance in New
York of 38’points fore <1 December lure
to 11.20. The general opinion of the ad
vance was that it was a move to oven
up the market before bureau publication.

By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW 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 Mis
sour Pacific was up United States
.Steel common was 14 higher at he begin
ning, but later last U. Amalgamated

London firm. Canadian Pacific there was
under pressure.
A heavy tone was shown in the general
list In the late forenoon. Canadian Pa

points to 27214. Soo common was also
weak, falling 2% to 150. 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

it had been for many weeks, selling down
to 72’4, against 73 7 s at the opening.
Amalgamated Copper, which sold earlier
in the day at 87*6. fell below 86, and
a decline of more, than t point was sus
