ADMITS
He KILLED WIFE
AFTER QUARREL
Confession of Murder Made,
According TO Coroner--Re-
voIver Found in Office.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Samuel
Leitner, a private detective, confessed
today according to the coroner's S
Office that it was he who shot and
killed his wife in his office last night.
Mrs. Leitner was shot five times with
revolver After hs arrest, Leitner
persistently maintained that he was
sitting in his Office when he heard
shots.
Upon running into the hallway, he
told the police, he found his wife on
the floor and saw two men running
away. Leitner's story, according to
a statement issued by the coroners
office, was one of long domestic
troubles. Mrs. Leitner left five small
children.
The revolver was found by the po-
lice today in niche far up a chimney
leading from fireplace in Leitner' $
office.
According to the police, Leitner and
his wife had frequent quarrels of late.
Neighbors of the couple, who live at
1918 Forty first street, Brooklyn, told
of bitter alterations between Leitner
and his wife in the last two months
Last Thursday night, they said, Lett
ner had driven his wife out of tte
house at midnight, clad only in her
and it was only through
the intervention of the neighbors that
she was permitted to return to her
home.
Mrs. Leitner called at her husbands $
office shortly before 6 o'clock. She
had long been on the verge of a ner-
vous breakdown and was pacing
nervously up and down before his
desk, which was a high one. From his
seat Leitner could not see the door,
and only his wife's head and shoul-
ders were visible.
Then eame a quick succession Of
shots and Mrs. Leitner fell screaming,
I'm killed" She was shot five times,
twice in the right side, twice through
the left breast, and fifth bullet, de-
hecting from her hand which she

LOOSE MILK IN
NEWARK IS NEAR
END Of DAYS
New Ordinance Goes Into Ef-
feet Tomorrow-Short Res
pite for Dealers.

A short shrift is to be given loose
milk in Newark, according to an in
terview Health officer Charles v.
Craster gave out today. DR.. Craster
believes that within little more than
six months Newarkers will have pure,
healthful milk, and nothing else, and
that loose milk will disappear from
the market before that.
The Board of Health ordinance pro-
hibiting the sale of loose, or dip"
milk in Newark goes into effect TO-
morrow. More than a year has passed
since the ordinance became a law.
Yet the loose milk wholesalers have
not provided bottling establishments
to enable them TO Comply with the
law. The Board of Health is taking
broad view of the situation and does
not intend to put the wholesalers out
of business, granting in part, at least,
the truth of the claim advanced by
the mill<men that they were not GER
tain enough of what they had better
do, even after the ordinance was a
law. So the wholesale milk dealers
are to be given a little more time to
comply with the law.
But the wholesaler will be given
q time limit-and 1t will be short"
said DR.. Craster, emphatically. "And
he will have to convince the board
that he meant what he says. He will
have to show the members that he
has his plans, and men at work, and
is in every way doing his best to COM
ply with the law as quickly as pos
sible. / believe the time limits will be
short. in view of the attitude of the
members of the board.
CAS- for the retail dealers selling
loose milk, they will be permitted to
continue its sale until the wholesaler
who supplies them is in a position
to sell them bottled milk, and not a
dav longer"
Will Sample All Loose MIX.
But this is only one of the methods
of getting good milk for Newark
that the board is to employ. DR..
Crastner outlined another of i'm
portance:
1--WE will take samples of all loose
milk sent into Newark to be bottled.
by the seventy wholesalers now ship
ping loose milk in to us" he said.
I'VE will take the samples every
month for six months. and at the
end of that time we can take the
average bacterial count of the vari-
Gus sources of supply and get an idea
of who is sending good milk into
Newark, and who is not.
Then the milk men who are not
will be notified to clean up their es-
adjustments. We will send our own
inspectors out to them, and the in
spectors will milk their cows and put
the milk in sterilized receptacles and
handle it in every way, as it should
be handled, and then by comparing
bacteriological tests of that milk with
tests of the milk after it has been
handled by the dealers themselves,
will prove that good milk can be in
sured merely by proper handling"

WOMAN SAYS
SHE WAS ROBBED
BY HOLD-UP MEN
Declares That Under Threat OF
Death She Gave
Up $11.o5.

The police are somewhat skeptical
regarding the story told by Mrs.
Mary Moraczewska, of $50 Chestnut
street, who alleges that last night
shortly after II o'clock four men
gained entrance to her apartments on
the third floor, and after threatening
her with death unless she revealed
the hiding place of her money ran
sacked the house and finally left when
she gave up $11.95 which she had tied
in handkerchief concealed in her
bosom
According to the story told by the
woman, she was awakened by noise
outside the window, which opened on
the back porch. She went out to in
vestigate and found there four men,
two of whom seized her as soon as
she appeared and threatened to Kill
her If she made an outcry.
She alleges she was forced back
into the house and was asked where
she kept her money. Despite her
statement that there was no money
in the. house, two of the men went
through the apartments and ran
sacked drawers and closets without
success.
When they returned from their
search, the woman alleges, one of
them held q knife over her head and
threatened her unless she divulged
the hiding place of her money. 1t
was then that she alleges she gave
up the money which was tied in the
handkerchief.
Three of the men, the woman said,
went down the rear stairway of the
house and one down the front way
after telling her not to make any out
cry or they would return and kill her.
The woman says she ran to the
front window and saw the men run
ming along Chestnut street to the
east, but that soon they disappeared
The woman then left the house and
went to the Essex foundry in Murray
street, where her husband is en-
ployed at nights, and told him the
story of the alleged hold-up.
When asked to give q description
of the men the woman said the en-
tire occurrence took place in the dark
and that despite the noise made by
the men none of her five children,
one being boy eleven years of age,
were awakened.
The police cannot account for the
woman telling such a connected story
of the hold-up when she states that
the entire affair occurred in the dark.
She exhibited several marks on her
wrist which she said was caused by
the men holding her.
The putty had been scraped from
the outside of the window. but the
police do not think that 1t was done
by any one trying to gain entrance
to the house that way

Miss Anna Nussbaum, seventeen
years old, of 522 South Grove street,
Irvington, who disappeared on Sat
urday after quitting work in a shoe
factory In Canal street, this city, was
found wandering aimlessly in st.
George, Staten Island, yesterday aft
ernoon. She told a remarkable story
of coma, kidnapping and escape.
She was taken to the Smith Infirm-
ary, New Brighton. The doctors there
have been unable to determine
whether she was drugged or is suffer-
ing from amnesia. Her condition was
such last night that the doctors re-
fused to permit her father, Louis
Nussbaum, to take her home.
When she was questioned by Detec-
tive Hildebrant at the ferryhouse in
st. George she was at first too con-
fused to tell her name or anything
about herself. At the detective bH-

STERLING DROPS
TO Low RECORD;
SLUMP IN TRADE
Foreign Exchange Rate Falls to
$4.58H2 in Overnight
Decline.
FEAR BRITISH ORDERS
WILL BE CANCELLED
Inevitable in Face of Heavy
Premium, Bankers Say-Try
to Remedy Situation.
FEAR BRITISH ORDERS
WILL BE CANCELLED

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Foreign
Exchange rates reached their most
serious stage today with an over
night break of two and one-half
cents in sterling, the English pound
selling in this market at $45S1a, close
to the mark where curtainment of
big foreign orders to the United
States would follow, in the opinion
of bankers here.
Nothing like the violent break In
quotations had ever been recorded in
foreign exchange markets here be-
fore. The low level reached today
was one and one-half cents below the
mark set some weeks ago by finan-
ciers as the so-called irreducible
minimum, which when reported,
would cause British buyers to seek
other markets in which to place their
orders for such imports as could be
obtained elsewhere than in Amer
lea.
Foodstuffs, manufactured goods
and many other products, In fact, al
most everything except actual NUM-
tion of war, were embraced within
this category.
Dealings Mt standstill.
Decentralization in the foreign ex-
change markets was succeeded by
almost chaotic conditions as the re-
suit of the break. Dealings in for
eign exchange were virtually at a
standstill. Rates varying as much as
a cent were quoted by different
houses, but these rates, in almost
every case, were purely nominal, and
there was no business worthy the
name done in English money here to-
day.
The big break means that English
buyers, in addition to the top of the
market prices already paid by them
in this country for American prod
ncts, are called upon to pay a prem
ium of 2S1a cents on every pounds
worth of purchases, or more than 5
| per cent. With London carrying this
onerous burden, something new to
| British bankers, as English money
| has for generations been the worlds 8
standard of International finance, the
| question discussed in banking circles
| here today was how long Great Bri-
tain would continue to buy here such
articles as she was not compelled to.
No other World Market
| There is no other world market OF
| Importance open, it was pointed out,
but more rigid economy at home in
all imported articles and purchases
by Great Britain from such European
neutrals as has wares to sell, 1t was
thought would undoubtedly follow If
exchange rates should go lower. This
will result in lessening, to an extent
which cannot now be estimated, the
amount of goods which American SELL
ers are sending abroad, now the great
est in volume in the history of the
| country.
| Not an American contract has yet
| been cancelled, 1t was said, but the
heavy premium which British buyers
must pay gives every indication, IN
the opinion of local bankers, that
cancellations will follow unless rates
