Baltimore Boy Steals Every ilins
Movable. Including a Piano.

BALTIMORE. Aug 22-'tE,atch me if
you can" was the notice that greeted
Mr. ana Mrs. Oliver C. Amos when they
returned from the mountains recently and
found that their home at 1414 North Gay
Street had been ransacked. The notice
written on piece CT paper and attached
TO the wall in the parIor, was dated
August g and signed by Mr.. Amos seven
teen-year-old son. Oliver c. Amos, jr
Nearly everything Of value in the house
had been removed. and what remained
was wrecked.
The house looked as if a devastating
cyclone had passed through it. Bed sheets,
pillow cases. and articles Of wearing ap-
parel had been torn into strips. Pillows
and mattresses had been ripped open and
the feathers and hair strewn over the
floor. Fragments of fine Dresden china
were scattered over the floor, and here and
there amid the debris lay a beer or
whisky bottle. all empty, showing that
the destruction had been prompted partly
by a liberal supply of liquid refreshments
Other damage seemed to have arisen
from wantonness.
Among the articles missing were: A
piano. valued at $500; set of parIor fur
nftuTe, $95; sewing machine, 500; silk
portieres, $12; silk dress, $50; fur muff
and boa. $40 and fur rug, So.
The articles had been hauled away in a
furniture wagon the owner Of which Mr.
Amos does not know.
Mr.. Amos said last night that the late
haul was not his sons first offence.
The boy commenced to give him trouble

notice, which, Mr.. Amos said, was ''toe

When Mr.. and Mrs. Amos went to the
mountains they left young Amos in charge
| of the house. They had been away but a
| short time when Mr.. Amos received a
| hint from a friendly neighbor that some
| thing was wrong at home. He returned
Immediately and found his son negotiating
for the sale OF the piano. The negotia-
tions were abruptly terminated and the
young man was ordered to take his clothes
and go, which he did.
Mr.. Amos fastened up his house securely,
as he thought, and went back to the
| mountains.
| When Mr.. and Mrs. Amos returned to
| their home, on August 5, they found that
| Amos, jr.. had been there during their alb
sence. The boy had entered the house by
| breaking the Stats In the shutter of the
kitchen window and raising the window.
Mr.. Reinhart, who delivers milk in the

The money outlook Is to a certain extent
unique. Rates continue extremely easy
despite the export of gold and the belief
IN financial quarters that this movement
is not yet over 1t may be stated as the
opinion Of some Of the most conservative
financial interests that there is likely, and
almost certain to be a hardening of rates
in the near future. The various items in
the situation make it impossible TO say
kcw soon this viii come, however. There
is uncertainty regarding the needs OF
Europe. which depend largely On the dura
ton of the Chinese trouble. There is
uncertainty as 10 the needs Of the West
and South for the movements Of the grain
and cotton crops. There is uncertainty
as to just how much help may be expect
ed by the New York banks, and when,
from the Treasury. 1t seems highly prob
able however. that the resumption OF the
export to Europe viii begin at the time
Then the shipment of money to the in
terror is at its height and that the pay
ments from the Treasury Department to
the banks for the old 2 per cent bonds and
other accounts will not entirely counterfeit
these two outhows Of gold. The result
will be a Tightening Of rates. 1t is not
believed however. that there is any cause
FOR alarm in the situation. There will be
no money panic this autumn, as there was
last. Call loan rates viii not be run up
TO 186 per cent. Money is in reality
plentiful in the country, though for a
