liam Loeb, Jr., secretary to President
Roosevelt, is made defendant in u $780,
600 damage suit in which he is charg-
ed with having caused the false arrest
of Miss Nadage Doree, a Jewish writ

The papers were served on Mr.. Loeb
by. a New York firm of lawyers. They
require him to make answer within
twenty days in New York. Mr.. Loeb
will be defended by the department
of Justice. The arrest, he says, was
made by the Washington police force
without his knowledge. Miss Doree
made an unsuccessful effort to see
President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay
last summer.

TRADE AIDED
BY WEATHER
High Temperature Helps Retail
Business in Summer Goods
Crops Excellent.

NEW YORK. Aug. f1.-In some Sec
tions the intense heat facilitated retail
trade in summer goods and improved
the attendance at seaside resorts. but
the most important development in the
business world was the increased ac-
tivity of jobbing and wholesale depart
ments in preparing for autumn and
winter requirements.
Crop reports are all that could be
desired, harvest and thrashing returns
SURPRISING all but the most sanguine
expectations, the few unsatisfactory
statements being far outbalanced by
the numerous encouraging results.
Manufacturing news is still of good
progress, the iron and steel industry
maintaining phenomenal results despite
labor troubles. High prices pre-
vail in the footwear industry and for
most textile fabrics, but the general
level of all commodities reflects the
c%heapening of farm products on ac-
count of the big crops.

RISE IN REAL
ESTATE VALUE
Remarkable Growth in Population
Causes Corresponding De-
VelOpment in This State.

Much attention has been attract
ed to the phenomenal growth in pop
ulation of the northern counties of
New Jersey, as shown by the recent
nsu figures" said a prominent
real estate operator representing i'm
portant New Jersey interests today.
A a matter of fact, no other state
in the section east of the Mississippi
can show aything to compare with it.
An even better indication of the pro-
gress of the state than that afforded
by the great increase in the number
CT inhabitants is given by the rapid
rise in the value of business property
throughout the state. This means
not only rapid growth but substan-
tial growth. There have been cases,
az in Brooklyn for some years, where
real estate values actually fell off, al
though the population was increasing
all the time. But nothing of that
kind is to be found in New Jersey.
"All through the favored region
that includes the northern and cen
trail parts of the state you can find
numbers of property holders who
bave become rich simply by sitting
still on their land and watching its
value increase. While this is true of
business property generally, there is
another feature of the situation very
encouraging to the prospective resi-
dent and that is not often to be found
in connection with such rapid adj
vances in realty values. That is the
fact that there Is plenty of choice
residential property in and about
each of these north Jersey towns and
cities still to be had at very reason
able prices. OF course in the more
fashionable and the more thickly
settled sections, residence property
has gone up in something like the
same ratio as have business sites.
But here the rapid extension of the
trolley lines in this part of the state
has come in to help again.
"These lines have been pushed out
into the country and from town to
town so that they have opened up a
great deal of what was once merely
farming land to suburban develop
ment. BY going a little farther out a
man can find home sites at very rea-
sonable prices and still be within
easy reach of schools, stores and fire.
quent trains to New Jork. This is
what is drawing people to New Jer-
sey in such numbers, and if the ex-
tension of the trolley roads is kept
up so that additional new territory
will be brought into easy reach of
the metropolis from time to time,
New Jersey will be one of the great
est centres of business and homes in
the world" 3,
