the records which could go with these
pictures in a moving picture lecture.
Are the films moving picture
films?" was asked. No. Mr..
Florence replied, they were not
moving picture films but they could
be made into that quite easily and
with a lecture to accompany them
would make well. | have made
money in m day and given it away,
but this time I'll make it and then
just watch me-"
In response to many more quest
lions this story of the raid upon the
sacred temple was obtained. Il
found it a place nobody could get into
who was an outsider and was not
known to the guards. They say |
hired a workman to take the films.
l did not. They say also | must
have bribed a guard. That story
also is false. How did do it then?
That's my business. / got it done.
l did not go in the temple myself,
but my money accomplished it. No
guard helped in the least and no
workman helped me. Say, / know
that building from cellar to step just
as well as the architect.
Nov, it isn't stealing goods to
take pictures. You don't take any
thing away only the camera you take
in, and you leave everything just as
it was. So where is the larceny?
And, say, that young fellow who
took these pictures. He was a brick,
though. l shall send him a ticket
for him to come on here, for l am
not afraid of anything. In n room
he wanted a picture that was a good
one and he stacked two chairs up,
one on top of the other and put his
camera on top of them, and as the
room was dark and it was to be a
slow exposure, why he walked around
in front and had his W picture
taken in the room. And l have that
picture. 1t is one of the sixty-eight.
1.-The camera. oh, that was a
rapid lens affair. Not all the sixty
eight pictures good, and l did
not have them all taken in a day. 1t
required months-one picture a day
sometimes was a good record.
well l had these pictures de-
veloped far away from Salt Lake and
l watched the man develop them very
carefully. He didn't know what
they were about. Then l brought
them down here to New York and
had them enlarged. My first move
was to offer them to Joseph F. Smith.
1 marked the letter important and
wrote on 1t that it should not be de-
livered to anybody but the man II
was addressed to.
Pictures Sent to Smith.
just u SHOW uluu 1 WAS uO ldhci
I sent him eight of the beautiful en-
fragments. Seven of them were
from inside the temple and the other
one we'll, 1t was from a place that
would make him twice as mad as the
others.
1.-THE first I heard after my letter
to Smith was his telegram telling MI
he did not deal with thieves and
traffickers in stolen goods. l sen an
answer to that like this:
| Joseph F. Smith, Salt Lake City:
l have done nothing against the law.
You should consider me a most con
fidential friend for obtaining posses
sion. Signed Max A. Florence
Message From Unknown.
Then | waited for another mess
age from Smith but it did not come.

STOLEN VIEWS
Of THE TEMPLE
MORMON CHURCH NOT ALARM
ED OVER DISCLOSURES OF
GENTLE ENTERPRISE-DE-
SCRIPTION OF THE TEMPLE.

Max Florence, the moving picture
Snowman from Salt Lake City, who
declares he has invaded the inner
precincts of the sacred and hitherto
unviolated Mormon temple and has
secured a large number of photos of
affairs and interior furnishings, at his
rooms in the Imperial hotel, New
York City, told about his experience
in capturing the photos. Upon this
theme, however, Florence was very
taciturn and u%nresponsive. Instead
he talked glowingly of the publicity
he was getting free because of his ad-
venture and made public his reply to
President Joseph F. Smiths telegram
to him that he (Smith) would not
deal with a thief or a trafficker in
stolen goods. preferring to let the
law take care of such a man.
Expects to Make Fortune.
"'How much do you consider
your pictures WORTH" Mr.. Florence
was asked. He smoked a large
cigar for a moment and then de-
.clared he would rather burn them up
in the gas light than accept anything
so small as 100000 for them.
''That Is the sum the Mormons say ]
blackmailed them for" he said. 81
didn't name that sum. 1t wouldn't
have been nearly big enough"
A reporter asked for how much he
would release some of the temple
views for the newspapers.
do you think l am a rube?" he
suggested. If you see anything of
the rube about me, I'll take 1t off,
I'm here for the cash. Now, If any
newspaper printed my secret pictures
they'd have to hire extra express
wagons to haul their papers away
You'd have to pay me a lot of money
and give me a share of the profits in
the edition besides. Get me? l had
a telephone caii from a magazine this
afternoon asking me II / had made
any arrangements to sell the pictures
I said they were here to go to the
highest bidder, be he Mormon. Jew
or Gentile; / don't care which"
No Pictures of Records.
Mr.. Florence made ar important
admission in response to a question
as to whether or not his picture:
showed any views of Moromn records
especially of polygamous marriage:
performed since their alleged aboli
ton.
MY pictures positively have moth
ing to do with the records" he said
"How could they have? l fount
that the records were kept locked III
In vaults. l think the most i'm
portant records are kept rel out
side of the temple itself, for the
Mormons know that the first place
that would be raided If there should
be a search for the records would bt
their temple. l found no records
but l did obtain information abou'

side of this room are openings into a
large conservatory of lovely flower
ing plants.
ION the floor above the basement,
which is reached by the grand stair
ease from the corridor below, there
are three large rooms, and a number
decorated, and furnished at great
cost. On the wall of the hall-land-
ing on this floor is a large oil paint
ing, 12x1S feet, painted by Armitage,
depicting a Book of Mormon subject,
Christ preaching to the Nephites.
A companion picture to this is in the
hal below, and the subject is Joseph
Smith preaching to a tribe of Indians.
Mural Decorations.
The walls of the large room on
the southwest of this floor are paint
ed in landscape scenes, differing in
character from those on the walls of
the room below. The splendid
chandeliers, furnishings and decora-
tions make this an elegant assembly
room. 1t is surpassed, however, by
the other large rooms on the north
west. In this white and gold is the
predominating feature of the beauti-
fully decorated ceiling, cornice, and
walls. 1t can be brilliantly illu-
minated, when desired, by the hand
some chandeliers and great number
of electric lights. A very large
mirror covers a section of the west
end of the room. The seats are fine
ly upholstered, rich curtains hang at
the windows, and splendid paintings
adorn the walls.
Across the entire east end of the
room just described, is an archway,
which connects it with the northeast
room. Ascending a few steps, we
push the curtain aside and pass into
the most magnificent room in the
temple. 1t is larger and more lofty
than either of the others. Grecian
columns are ranged along the sides,
supporting an arched roof. A double
row of windows gives abundant light;
the upper row is of stained glass,
semi-circular In form. Immense
plate-glass mirrors over the east
walls. About the mirrors are two
splendid oil paintings by Lambourne,
representing historic spots. the Hill
Cumorah, and Adam-ondi-Ahman.
Decorative artists Of great skill have
done their best, and produced a har-
monious blending Of gorgeous colors
and gliding ON the walls, columns,
cornices. and elaborate, paneled
ceiling, with its artistically arranged
borders. and clusters of grapes, fruits
and flowers. The furniture, carpet,
fcurtains. pictures, chandeliers, and
ornaments, are all of the most costly
description. =

The Third Apartment.

"Three comparatively small apart
ments open to the south of this in
describably beautiful room Those
at the southeast and southwest ends
| are semi-circular, and about equal in
size, each of them exquisite in
decoration and furnishings, while
large plate glass mirrors cover the
end walls; stained glass windows,
and umerou electric lights brilliant
ly illuminate the rooms.
The third apartment alluded to is
situated between the two just de-
scribed, and elevated a few feet above
them. The stairway leading to it
from the main room is an elegant
design, finished in white and gold.
The is circular in form, with a
domed ceiling, which is completely
encircled by jeweled windows that
admit a multi-hued softened light.
The walls are artistically panneled,
red silk velvet forming borders;
delicate blue, white, and gold pre-
dominating in the shades of color.
The floor is inlaid with inch-square
blocks of hard woods, polished, the
whole forming a pattern of great
beauty. A fitting adjunct to this
beautiful room is a large stained
glass window placed in the south
side. 1t Is a work of art of the
highest type, made by the celebrated
Tiffany Co., and represents the
Father and Son appearing to the boy
Joseph Smith. There is another
large window of the same kind in
the room adjoining this on the west;
the subject represented being the
delivery of the Book of Mormon to
Joseph Smith by the angel Moroni.
Still another window, in a hall on
the same floor, depicts the expulsion
of Adam and Eve from the Garden
of Eden.
Session Apartments.
The eastern front doors of the
temple are on this floor, and they
open into Railways which lead to
a series of reception rooms, beauti-
fully decorated and furnished, and to
the granite stairways in the north
and south towers.
Ascending to the second story of
the temple, by the south stairway,
we reach a landing from which we
proceed westward, and then find
ourselves in a corridor on each side
of which are a number of apartments
suitably furnished, and decorated in
excellent style, for the use, severally,
of the First presidency, the twelve
apostles. first seven presidents of
seventies, stake presidencies and
