Representative Chandler of New York,
a Progressive, delivered an unusual
speech in the House yesterday on the
subject of Jewish persecution.
Mr.. Chandler took for his text the fall
ure of Roumania to live up to the terms
of the treaty of Berlin guaranteeing
equal treatment of all persons, without
regard to race or religion. He spoke for
thirty minutes and was given close at
tention. Mr.. Chandler began by declar-
ing that persecution of the Jews was con-
trary to Scriptural teachings.
THE last prayer of the MastC- on the
Cross" he said, must be made to repeal
earlier Scriptural prophecy or decree.
Father. forgive them, for they know
not what they do is the sublimest ut
terance in the literature OF the world.
1t is the epitome of every Christian vir-
tue and of all religious truth. This proc
lamation from the Cross repealed the

was made by man named Lille. Moore
decided to put it to the test He escer-
tanned that there was one in an Office on
Staten Island, and desired to experiment
upon it. With the aid Of specially devised
brace he found it possible to drill holes
into the solid chilled steel Of which the safe
was composed and a few ounces of rifle
powder did the rest.
AS result Of this success, dutch Dan,"
Moores pal, prevailed upon him to try his
luck at another safe of the same type at
bank at clean, N. Y. the doors were two
and a quarter inches thick and of chilled
iron cast in one piece. Dutch Dan" had
previously taken several other safecrack-
ers to look the ground over. but all had
agreed that the job couldn't be done in
less than six hours. and as there was a
hotel directly opposite which didn't close
till after midnight, they decided that they
wouldn't have time to do the job be-
tween the time the hotel closed and the
time when people began to go abroad in
the morning.
Moore knew better He had paid visit
to the Lille works and knew exactly how

1t was this safe which, as have pre-
viously mentioned, the directors considered
$50 safe that they offered to let any safe
cracker have it to himself on the top OF a
mountain for four days. This offer Moore
felt 1t unnecessary to accept.
Securing the services of third man to
act as lookout and to provide rig for the
getting away, Moore and Dutch Dan" de.
scended upon the bank one dark night and
succeeded in breaking into the burglar
proof" safe in just forty-five minutes.
Moore came to grief first through the
treachery of one of his accomplices. He
had been engaged by other burglars for
bank job at Rockland Maine. An excity
marshal and a big merchant of the city
were said to be interested in the plot, and
Moore consented to do the work
The ex-marshal, man named Kaiser,
and mis- friends were to furnish the neces-
sary teams Against his better Judgment,
which led him to distrust several of those
interested in the plot, particularly the ex-
marshal and his friends, Moore went
through with the job a premature explo-
sion opened the safe, but nearly wrecked
the building. Across the street the bur-
glars saw the night Waterman and a por-
ter staring awestricken at the bank.
Moore quickly decided that the burglars

only chance was to secure the funds and
to buy of those interested in prosecuting
them, as he had been able to do in tho
Concord robbery. Putting a wet sponge
in his mouth and wet handkerchief over
mis- face. he made his way through the
binding and suffocating smoke and cleaned
out the safe in the darkness.
The burglars then proceeded to the spot
where Kaiser was to meet them with the
rigs. They had to wait several hours be.
fore Kaiser appeared, and from his manner
Moore at once surmised that everything
was not exactly right. His suspicious
proved to be well-founded. for they had
hardly gone half mile when they were

sixty men armed with rifles, blunderbusses.
pitchforks and every other conceivable
weapon. The burglars were roughly ham
died, and the crowd made ready to lynch
them. 1t was only Moore's tact which
saved them.
AS it was, Moore found it prudent to
plead guilty when his case came up for
trial, and he was sentenced to seven years
in the Maine State Prison.
He served six and half, during which
time he suffered privations of the most
dreadful character.
His first three years of prison life
passed without incident Although his
wife came to see him regularly during that
period, she was never allowed to speak
to Moore in private. Moore got an idea
that, il properly managed. campaign to
secure his pardon might prove successful.
He figured that fund of $4,000 would be
needed for the purpose.
Because the warden was always present
when his wife visited him and his CORE
spondcnce was always censored. the only
way he could communicate his plan to his
wife was by a subterfuge In writing to
his wife. he wrote twenty words on the
envelope and covered them with the
stamp. 1t took him several months to
impart his whole plan to his wife by this
installment plan, but at the end of that
tme she was in full possession of her
husbands ideas on the subject. She at
once proceeded to raise the money and
then unwisely wrote on the margin of
New York newspaper which she was prvi-
legged to send her husband, the words

admit that she had been In secret commu-
nication with her husband. Moore was
then put through a similar ordeal, but he
denied having communicated with his wife
in any way and professed to know nothing
about the message on the newspaper
The warden was greatly incensed, and,
by way of punishment ordered that Moore
should no longer enjoy the privileges
which had previously been accorded to
MIN. He was allowed neither to see or
write to his wife. He was no longer per-
mitted to purchase food or other articles.

Moore contrived to prevent the robbery

about an investigation. The nuts were re-
