ItesUlt'lire Itttiinai-ked In Night of
Neighbors.
NEW YORK. Nov. 16. With the
piercing ray ot a burglar's dark lan
tern ahlnlng In their eyea and two
revolvers held by masked men cover
ing them, the (lve membera o( the
(amlly ot Charles E. Tayntor, a weal
thy granite dealer, lay In bed In the
Tayntor home at Borough Park,
Brooklyn, for more thaa an hour Sun
day morning, while S third masked
burglar packed up $10,000 worth of
jewelry and silverware. The burglars
bound Mr. Tayntor hand ' and foot
and escaped with their booty.
Tbe burglary waa most daring, and
Mr. Tayntor la convinced that the
robbera spent many daya planning It.
Mr. Tayntor, who baa rich granite
quarries In New England, ia known
as a crack abot, being a, member of
tbe New York State Rifle Associa
tion, and having been s contestant,
It Is said, In the recent Olympic phuol
tournament at Bisley, England. Jt
la believed that the burglars knew
this and took no cbancea with him.
The three men when they gained
entrance to tbe bouse, went Immedi
ately to a bedroom on the second
floor, occupied by Mr. and Mra.
Tayntor. One of the burglars struck
Mr. Tayntor a crushing blow on tbe
head with a blackjack aa be lay
asleep. The blow stunned the sleeper
and a few mlnutea later, when Mr.
Tayntor recovered hia aenses be
found three revolvera leveled at bim.
Made Girl Get Into Bed.
Mr. and Mra. Tayntor were made
to sit up In bed and two of the bur
glars held them covered, while the
third began a search of the room.
Tbe noise awakened Alice Tayntor,
tbe 15-year-old daughter ot the
granite dealer, and she came Into the
room crying. The burglara ordere'l
ber Into bed with her parenta, and
the child obeyed. A moment later
Charles Tayntor, aged 8, and Harold,
aged 12, came Into the room, having
been awakened. They were made to
sit on the side of the bed.
Theburglar who was ransacking
the room found a Jewel case with two
wedding rings In It on a bureau and
waa about to take them, when Mr.i.
Tayntor asked him not to. The bur
glar replied tbat he would take every
thing ot value that be could find.
Then one ot the burglara atandlng
guard over the family spoke up:
Don't take those wedding rings. I
am a married man and have some
sentiment about wedding rings," he
said.
The rings were left, but two toy
banks belonging to Cbarlea and Har
old, the Tayntor boys, were broken
and rifled ot $17. Tbe boys cried
and were ordered to be quiet. When
the room had been completely search
ed the third robber went downstairs
and packed up the silverware, lie
later returned to the bedside 'ind
commanded Mr. Tayntor to give up
a $500 diamond ring he wore.
Threatened to Cut Off Finger.
The ring would not come oft, so
one of the burglars grimly drew a
Jackknlfe and was going to cut Mr.
Tayntor's finger off. Mr. Tayntor
protested, and asked perm'i?ion to
go to the bathroom and soak the
ring off with soap and water.
"We will do that ourselves " sa'd
the man who appeared to be the
leader of the trio, and he did forth
with. Then the three men produced
s rope and bound Mr. Tayntor's
hands and (eet. They toi! him not
to make an outcy (or (iftcen mln-
utes saying ouo of their numhr
would remain on guard that length
of time. They then hurried away.
It was an hour before Mr. Tayntor
could notify the police, as the tele
phone wires were cut. He was able
to give a perfect description of the
three men, but this will hardly be of
any assistance, as the burglars were
all dressed alike and wore masks.
The burglara wore black stilts, black
derby hats, kid gloves, and white
masks. They had woolen "sneaks'
over their shoes.

EMPEROll UNBENDS.
Yields to the Demands of His Angry
Subjects.
BERLIN, Nov. 17. Forced by the
angry tide ot popular (eeling that
swept the empire (rom end to end,
Emperor William yielded to tbe na
tion today and promised henceforth
to conform to the constitutional
methods ot conducting the policies of
Germany.
In an interviewa between tbe em
peror and the imperial chancellor,
which took place at Potsdam thla
morning, and at Its conclusion the
emperor made a formal promise to
his people that on future he will not
except through Chancellor and bis as
sociate monostera.
Prince Von Buelow bad determined
upon handing In his resignation It
the emperor had not met the coun
try'a demand, but aa such a situation
did not develop, the audience ended
with the emperor saying to the Imper
ial chancellor that he reposed full
confidence in his wisdom. The whole
country had waited with breathless
suspense for a word from the palace.
So great has been the change ot the
Germans toward their soverelbg In
tbe last few days that a crowd of
some 1500 that had gathered at the
church to attend the funeral of the
late General Huelln-Haeaslerat,
which, the emperor and empress pres
ent being unaware of the result of
the audience, greeted their majesties
almost in silence.
At the audience today, Von Buelow
told the emperor that he bore the
mandate ot the rulers of Bavaria,
Wurtemburg, Saxony and Daden,
most of the powerful ot atatets out
side of Prussia, to communicate to
his majesty the collective hope that
he be more reticent In the future.
The chancellor also said that this
waa the opinion of tbe whole Prus
sian cabinet and that since the meet
ing of the Reichstag the membera,
without regard to party, had received
an Immenae quantity of correspond
ence approving ot the parliament's
position.
Von Buelow said the feeling ot the
country appeared to be well nigh
unanimous.
