IT WAS A BOY
Kenneth Clark, IL Years Old,
Cut Plate Glass Windows.
A BOyish Prank-Damage Sew
eral Thousands to Merchants.

Kenneth Clark, the IL year old step
son of Arthur Gathers, who lives at
1908 Kansas avenue, cut the plate
glass in the Windows of large num-
Der of business houses of the city
Thursday evening. He used piece of
glazed terra Gotta thing in his work
of destruction of valuable property.
The plate glass in the display win
dows of more than a dozen business
houses was damaged in this manner.
The boy found the thing in the street
and cut the windows while selling pa
pers. He took the piece of thing in
his hand and held it against the win
dow as he was walking up and down
the street.
Detective Jake Maze and Carl Golf
held an interview with the boy this
morning and he told them a complete
and convincing story. He said that
while selling papers Thursday evening
that he found a piece of thing in front
of the store of the Emahizer & Spiel
man company at SO Kansas avenue.
He picked it up, and not knowing its
destructive qualities and not giving it
much attention, began marking on the
glass of the display window. He saw
that it made a mark but did not real
ize that the instrument was cutting
the glass. While doing this, he
started to scratch his initials on the
glass out stopped Wnen anOCneT BOY
approached him. The second boy Of
fered him cents to complete the
work but the boy ran away and he
did not get the money which was
promised him.
After doing this, he walked south
on Kansas avenue to Ninth street and
used his instrument of destruction
with regularity. He finally got tired
of this sort of playing" as he called
it, and threw the thing away.
The boy was found by the officers
at his home about o'clock this
morning. He was asleep when the Of
ficers called. He was wakened by his
mother and admitted that he had
done the work as soon as she asked
him about it. He was taken to the
police station and then to the court
house where he was interviewed by
Judge w. F. SchOch of the juvenile
court He told the officers where he
found the piece of thing and. where
he had thrown it. The officers ac-
companied him to the spot where he
had thrown it and it was found. The
piece of thing is now being held by
the police.
The name Kenneth York was cut
in the glass in the windows of the
Emahizer- Speilman company and the
initials IS K. " were cut on an
other window of the same establish
ment. The same initials appeared on
the windows of the Pacific Express
company. Letters were cut on the

VIM. BOYD DEAD.
Oldest Blacksmith in Topeka-Came
Here in 1857.

William Boyd, the first blacksmith and
wagonmaker to locate in Topeka, died
Friday night at the home of his daughter.
Mrs F. c. Bowen, at 200 West Tenth
street. He was So years old and settled In
Topeka in March, 1851.
Immediately after locating in Topeka
he started a blacksmith shop on the cor
ner which is now First street and Topeka
avenue. This was near the landing of the
ferry boat which connected North Topeka
with the main part of the city The build
ing which he erected at that time is now
used as a residence and is located at o0S
West First street.
Mr. Boyd furnished the iron which W :
used in the first bridge across the Kansas
river After completing the work on the
iron work of this bridge Mr.. Boyd moved
his blacksmith shop to Second and Jack
son streets. Later he moved in another
shop which was located at Fifth and
jackson streets and worked in this shop
until in 1871.
He then moved to Wamego, where he
was in business until 1897, when he re-
turned to Topeka and has lived with his
children ever since He has continued to
turn out knives and kitchen utensils ever
since returning TO Topeka but has not
been very active.
He has been sick during the last few
years and his death was not a surprise.
He is survived by five children: Mrs
Anna Campbell and Mrs. Frank {.
Bowen of Topeka; e. NJ. Boyd of Wa
Okla and Mrs. A. L. Fogg of Chanut7.
The funeral will be held in Wamego Sun
day afternoon. The body may be viewed

windows of various business establish
ments on Kansas avenue.
Windows which cost several thou
sand dollars were damaged by the
boy but not snff1efent to cause their
entire destruction. 1t will not be
necessary tc replace the glass. ThA
insurance companies which issue poll
cies and the damage or loss to plate
glass, do not include this in the poll
cies and the merchants whose glass
have been damaged will not be able to
recover damages.
The officers realized that the dam
age was the work of small boy as
the marks or places where the glass
was cut was near the bottom of the
glass They secured information con-
corning the boy last night but not suf-
ficent to cause an arrest at that time.
Additional information was secured
this morning.
The first notice to be received by
the police was reported from Emahizer
& Spielman's place late Friday after
noon. Detectives Golf and Maze
were sent out to make an investiga-
ton.
Similar damage was done in Topeka
two or three years ago and affairs of
this nature have been reported in 9th
er cities but the police have not been
successful in capturing the men who
did the work. Among the business
houses whose glass has been damaged
are the Emahizer & Speilman COM
pany, M. F. Rigby, Warren M. Crosby,
Crosby Brothers. Woolworth's Five
and Ten Cent store, Crockett Dry
Goods company, 1. M. Blitz, Felix &

WEEKS MARKET REPORT
High Rates for Call Money Acts as
Restraint.

New York, Nov. So.-High rates for
money acted as a restraint upon stock
market trading this week. The money
market registered the effects OF the
worldwide Tightening of money, the
Balkan war Withdrawals by Canadian
banks in advance of the quarterly
statement, and the strain upon domes-
tic reserves, due largely to the de-
mands of the interior and prepare
tons for December interest and d1v1-
dend disbursements. On Friday call
money touched 20 per cent, the high
est rate since January of 1908, and on
two previous days loans were made at
II per cent. There was a sympathetic
hardening in time funds.
Trading in stocks was listless and
changes were small. Although the
sharp rise in money depressed stocks
for a time, the list held comparative
ly steady and there was little pressure
to SELL Foreign exchange rates fell
as a result of the movement Of the
money market and 100000 more gold
was engaged for importation from
London.
Although London sold stocks early
in the week, liquidation from this
source did not continue, and the for
eign markets We're more cheerful.
General trade conditions continued
good October reports of the railroads
in almost every instance showed
larger receipts.
