New York, Nov. 10. - With the
piercing ray of burglars dark Ian
tern shining in their eyes and two
revolvers held by masked men cover.
ing them, the five members of the
family Of Charles E. Taynter, a
wealthy granite dealer, lay in bed in
the Taynter home at Borough Park,
Brooklyn, for more than an hour yes
terday morning. while third masked
burglar packed up $4,000 worth of
jewelry and silverware. Then the
burglars bound Mr.. Taynter hand and
foot and escaped with their booty.
The three men when they gained
entrance to the house went immedi-
ately to a bed room ON the second
floor occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Tayn-
ter. One of the burglars struck Mr..
Taynter
A Crushing Blow
on the head with blackjack as he
lay asleep. The blow stunned the
sleeper, and a few minutes later when
Mr.. Taynter recovered his senses he
found three revolvers leveled at him.
MIR. and Mrs. Taynter were made to
sit up In bed and two of the bur.
glars held them covered while third
began search of the room. The
noise awakened Alice Taynter. the
fifteen-year-old daughter, and she
came into the room: The burglars Or
dered her into bed with her parents.
A moment later Charles Taynter,
aged eight years. and Harold, twelve,
came into the room. They were made
to sit on the side of the bed.
Burglar Is Sentimental.
The burglar who was ransacking
the room found a jewel case with two
wedding rings in it and was about to
take them when Mr.. Taynter asked
him not to. One of the burglars
standing guard over the family said:
Don't take those wedding rings.
am married man and have some sen.
timent about wedding rings" he said.
The rings were left. but two toy
banks were broken and rifed of SIT.
When the room had been completely
searched the third robber went down
stairs and packed up the silverware.
Soaps OF $500 Ring.
He later returned to the bedroom
and commanded Mr.. Taynter to give
up a $500 diamond ring he wore. The
ring would not come of. so one of the
burglars grimly drew jacknife and
was going to cut Mr.. Taynter's finger
of. Mr.. Taynter asked permission to
60 to the toilet and soap the ring OF
with soap and water.
I'VE will do that ourselves" said
the man who appeared to be the lead
er of the trio, and he did forthwith.
Then the three men produced a rope
and bound Mr.. Taynter's hands and
feet. It was an hour before Mr.. Tayn.
ter could notify the police. as the tele.
phone wires were cut.

Postoffice Inspector Declares Laws Ell.
fort Amateurish as Compared
With Mexican Enterprise.

New York, Nov. 10. - ''The most
stupendous mining fraud ever operat.
ed in America" according to Chief
Postofice Inspector w. 8: May.
er. was brought to = sudden halt Sat
urday by federal authorities raiding
the Offices of George w. Emanuel &
Co, 517 Fifth avenue.
Those arrested were Lewis A.
Prince and ]. Walter Larrabee, who is
now connected with the Quibdo Gold
Dredging company Of 66 Broadway.
Emanuel narrowly escaped arrest.
He took flight for Mexico half hour
before the raid was made.
Cranston Thomas, supposed to be
one of the moving spirits in the con.
Germ, was taken at his home in Brook
Ign.
In international Game.
The operations of the men now un-
der arrest are believed to form a vast
swindling web. the meshes Of which
extend over the entire country, Next
co and q part of South America.
Millions Of dollars are believed to
have already been swindled by this
galaxy Of talent.
The Mississippi Bubble Of John
Law is only the work of an amateur
in comparison with it," said Postoffice
Inspector Elmer L. Kincaid, who con-
Quoted the raid. 1T is the most dan
gerous 'get-rich.quick' ever unearthed.
Had it remained unchecked it would
have compared with the Standard Oil
in magnitude"
The names of the men involved in
the arrest include several prominent
financiers and two we'll known bucket
shot operators, who have previously
been the object of police search.
Most Daring Ever Conceived.
A recent extension Of the plans Of
these men included the formation Of
several mushroom companies. which
now will never see the light of day.
The mother company is the "old re-
liable" Mutual Trust company, and
under the fostering care of George
Emanuel & Co., it is alleged, it was
organized by Louis Prince and ]. Wal.
ter Labaree.
Hundreds of checks and thousands
Of letters from customers were found
in the offices of the concern. The
books of the company, however, show.
ing the list of those believed to have
been swindled, were in heavy steel
safe, the keys of which, the prisoners
declared, could not be found.
The fraud perpetrated by the MI
tual of Mexico In their plan of opera
zion was one Of the most daring ever
conceived.
