MOORE WILL ]sooN BE KNOWN
WIDELY
Texas Paper Prints Editorial Showing
Faker's Methods Have Become
Known In Many Cities
Throughout Country

Under the head of "The Spirits I'm
masked" the Ell Paso Morning Times
prints an editorial in which the essential
facts are incorporated, but Mr.. Hale had
his society well organized long before the
notorious Moore came to Los Angeles.
In fact Mr.. Hale and his followers had
clippings from the eastern papers giving
Moore's full history. and the account Of
the takers hasty departure from New
York after the exposure of his fraudulent
practices When Moore arrived in Los
Angeles and Anti-Fakers society imme-
diately began an investigation and
complete exposure speedily followed.
Moore's arrest and subsequent refusal
on the part of the police commissioners to
Issue a license was heavy blow to the
faker, and he moved out Of the city and
settled at Glendale. Shortly after this
three shots were fired at Robert Hale
from an ambush in the spiritualists'
camp grounds near Edendale.
The Ell Paso Times editorial follows:
Los Angeles has inaugurated crusade
against that large class OF easy-living
charlatans called clairvoyants, spirit me-
diums and fortune tellers The success of
one "Dr. H. r. Moore" in separating
credulous dupes from their money prompt
ed Robert M. Hale of Los Angeles to or
ganize an Anti-faker society, and Mr.
@f~eeA
that he induced the city council to pass
an ordinance requiring mediums, fortune
tellers, clairvoyants, ETC., to pay a month
ly license of $50. DR. Moore then
moved outside the city limits ind contin-
ued to do a flourishing business. The
Anti-faker society took the matter up
with the county supervisors, and they
have levied a county tax of $50 per month
on the offenders.
"'Dr Moore" has been proven rank
fraud. He was run out Of New York by
the newspapers of that city, and when he
started up in Los Anieles the newspaper
men there unmasked him. His wife posed
as medium, and with their two little
girls to do the spirits stunt they were
giving seances One night the lights were
turned on, and the Or" was fourd
stored away with a horn initiating dis
tressed ghosts while the little girls were
caught live and kicking on the stage,
dressed in gauze.

fleece simple-minded people.-El Paso
