They Force n Safe in Allentown and
Get Nearly $1,000.

Allentown, May 17.-Last night rob-
bers entered the store of John Taylor
& Co, forced open the safe and Sc
cured almost $1,000 in cash and a pair
of diamond sleeve buttons. 1t had
been announced during the week that
the banks would be closed on Wash
ington Monument Gay, but later It was
agreed to keep open. OF this. however,
Cashier Knerr was not aware ard con-
sequently made no deposit.
II is believed that the robbers climbed
up the fire escape at the rear and got
into the rooms of the John F.. Weller
Gun club on the third floor. They
then bored n hole through the floor
large enough to permit them to get in
to the second floor of the Taylor store.
They used a rope which was left be-
hind. There is no clue to the robbers.
