W. Blanchard Moore

Delivers his lecture dressed as a convict exile with right half of head shaved.


W. Blanchard Moore traveler and lecturer, was formerly instructor in the University of Illinois and for years has been connected with various educational journals and daily papers.  He has twice encircled the globe and made many other extended trips, taking pictures and securing information for educational and journalistic work.

Owing to numerous requests from individuals and societies for information regarding Siberia, a Western Press Club decided to send a representative to that country to investigate the exile system, the prisons and the industries.

In order to secure this information, it was necessary to select a man of experience and ability and one who would be willing to brave the dangers and hardships of such a hazardous undertaking.

W. Blanchard Moore, known as the Bold and Fearless Traveler, has spent much time traveling in the dangerous out-of-the-way places of the world and has made two trips to Siberia and Russia.  His ability, experience and venturous nature eminently fitted him for this perilous undertaking.  Mr. Moore was furnished with credentials, endorsed by high United States officials, supplied with plenty of funds, and equipped with a complete photographic outfit.  Fully realizing the risk he was taking, but with a fearless determination, he bade farewell to friends and relatives and left San Francisco for Vladivostok to brave the dangers and hardships of an unknown future.

Nearly seven months were spent investigating the industries, exile system and prisons of what is known as Darkest Russia.  On one occasion, Mr. Moore was arrested as an American spy and spent two months in one of those Death Hells as the exiles call them, but which the world knows as Siberian Prisons.  In addition to this, he was temporarily arrested six times and detained from one to forty-eight hours, and then ordered to leave on the first train or stage.

Mr. Moore gained a knowledge of the exile system much more complete than is possible by any exile.  With high class credentials and abundance of funds, in a land where money is the strongest power, Mr. Moore was permitted to mingle with all classes, to interview officials, and to visit the punishment cells where daylight never enters and where the doomed, bound in heavy chains, lay starving and freezing in surroundings reeking with filth and vermin—he saw how the exiles are ground beneath the iron heel of Russian despotism, how the vicious officials feasted off the hearts, the souls, the very blood of their helpless victims.

W. BLANCHARD MOORE'S
Great Lecture On
SIBERIA, RUSSIA and COUNT TOLSTOI

200 COLORED STEREOPTICON VIEWS SMUGGLED OUT OF DARKEST RUSSIA.
These pictures were secured at great risk of life and cost a small fortune for bribing officials.  Some pictures were secured from political exiles, some taken by detective camera, the majority, however, were obtained by influence of the Almighty Dollar and smuggled out of the country by the same influence.

There is probably no place in the world where tips, graft and bribery are so powerful as in Siberia.

2,500 FEET OF MOVING PICTURES.



The cruelties and injustice, the everyday life, the secrets of the great Siberian Prisons, are interesting, fascinating and startling.

George Kennon startled the world by his articles on the Hidden Secrets of Siberia.  Since this time, a number have gone to Siberia to investigate the conditions but were either put to death or confined to the prison mines for life.  W. Blanchard Moore is the only one who has been able to make this investigation and return to tell the world of the human suffering and sorrow Russia inflicts upon thousands of her helpless exiles.

Mr. Moore relates his own personal experience in the most graphic and telling manner, wearing the dress, chains and fetters of an exile convict.



A Message to the World
A number of these unfortunate exiles who had unfolded to Mr. Moore their tales of woe, would seize his hand, and, kneeling, kiss it, saying, May God spare your life that you may bear a message to the world—the message of our sorrow, our tears, our prayers.



Count Tolstoi
While in Russia during his first trip to Siberia, Mr. W. Blanchard Moore remained some time as a guest at the home of the great Russian philosopher and writer, Count Leo Tolstoi.  While others considered themselves fortunate to get even one picture, Mr. Moore took fifteen pictures of the Count, his family, his surroundings and his everyday life.  As these pictures were taken shortly before the Count's death, they are very valuable.  Large sums were offered for the negatives but were refused.



The Quadroscope
To illustrate his lecture Mr. Moore not only uses the moving picture machine, but also a new projecting apparatus called the Quadroscope, which not only produces the best dissolving effect but also beautiful mechanical and electrical effects never before shown on a screen.  The Quadroscope is the only machine of the kind in this country.

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY:
Professor Lee Francis Lyborger, Mgr. Mifflinburg Chautauqua, Mifflinburg Telegraph.—Professor Moore on Tuesday evening gave his great illustrated lecture on Siberia.  He appeared in the garb of a Siberian prisoner, with head shaved, manacles on hands and ankles, and large wooden-soled shoes.  The very fact that these pictures were taken inside of Siberia, where he was watched on every hand by Russian officials, gave them an immense value.  The pictures presented by Mr. Moore are valued at $25,000.  He also gave fifteen pictures showing the great Tolstoi and his home.  It was an opportunity to get a glimpse of Siberia and its banished people that cannot come often in a lifetime.  It was the most educational of all the productions of the Chautauqua.

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY:
Lansing, Mich.: Plymouth Church.—I wish to say a word regarding the recent visit of W. Blanchard Moore to our city and church.  He gave his lecture in our church to a large audience.  To say that everyone was pleased and instructed is speaking very mildly.  Siberia is a topic of interest to everyone and especially at the present time.  Coming as Mr. Moore did with a first-hand knowledge of the country he was able to interest and instruct the people who heard him.

The pictures used in connection with the lecture were of the best and added greatly to the interest of the lecture.  Looked at merely from the financial side the lecture was a decided success, and we would recommend this attraction to any organization looking for worth-while entertainments that can be made financial successes.

But best of all was the manner of Mr. Moore.  There was nothing of conceit or boasting about him.  He delivered his lecture in a straightforward manner that appealed to everyone.  He is certainly a pleasant man to meet and is sure to please any audience before which he would appear.

Fred E. Lampman, Assistant in Church Work.

Unique Inside Story of Darkest Russia.

Albion, Mich.: College Pleiad.—From the moment Mr. W. Blanchard Moore came upon the chapel platform last Thursday evening, dressed as a Siberian convict, and clanking the prison chains, to the appearance of the film saying Good Night, his lecture was crammed full of interesting material.  There were no dry periods.  As the lecturer proceeded with his talk, Siberian scenes were shown by means of the stereopticon lantern, one's mind expanded and seemingly learned of a new world.  It was an ideal lecture for a college audience.

Mr. Moore told of being arrested seven times as an American spy, of spending two months in prison, of running fearful risks at the hands of convicts or officials, the listener felt that the lecturer has been rightly named, The Bold and Fearless Traveler.

Battle Creek, Mich.: M. E. Church.—Mr. W. Blanchard Moore gave his lecture on Siberia Tuesday night to a full house.  Mr. Moore is doing a great missionary work for Siberia.  We paid Mr. Moore according to contract and had a nice little balance for ourselves.  Rev. William Chapman.

The Iowa Chautauqua Alliance.—I regard your lecture on Siberia as exceptionally fine and your manner of delivery made it intensely interesting.  I felt like suggesting that you make it longer; two hours seemed too short for a subject that held the audience in such close attention.

The colored views and motion pictures were all that could be desired and were highly appreciated by everyone.  Many of the pictures brought to the surface the gruesomeness of the story, but they presented a fact that could not be denied.

Geo. W. Spencer, President.



INTERESTING TALK BY W. B. MOORE WAS GIVEN HERE TUESDAY
Told of Life in Prisons of Siberia and Russia—Showed Views.


W. Blanchard Moore gave an exceedingly entertaining lecture at the Church of Christ Tuesday night on Siberia, Russia and Count Tolstoi.
He told of his life in the Russian prisons, where he was confined five different times.  He was held in prison for two months, during which time he saw almost all of the inside workings of the government in regard to the prisoners.
Because of the extreme care Mr. Moore took in securing proper credentials from the American officials, he was considered an official of some note from the United States, and was accorded many privileges not usually granted to prisoners.
Mr. Moore spent four days as the guest of Count Tolstoi.  The Count took a particular liking to him because he conformed to the Count's idea of living in so many ways.  While there Mr. Moore learned many things regarding conditions that he promised not to use during the life of the Count.  It was with this understanding that he gained much of the information.
Mr. Moore was sent to Siberia to learn conditions regarding exiles and prisoners.  He remained about eighteen months.  His only way of gaining admission into the prisons was to become guilty of some petty crime against the government.  Such a trifling thing as leaving his passport in another city caused him to be thrown into prison, where he had sought to make a full investigation.—

DESCRIBES RUSSIA AS THE BLACKEST, MOST UNCIVILIZED NATION IN WORLD
Relates the Horrors and Crimes Which He Himself Has Seen in Siberia.


Garbed in the dress and shackles of a Siberian convict, W. Blanchard Moore appeared on the rostrum of the First M. E. Church Thursday night and gave his lecture on Russia, Siberia and Count Tolstoi.  The church was crowded and the attention of the audience was held throughout the entire evening by the graphic views shown and the remarks of the speaker.  As a matter of education the lecture threw open a page of present-day history which few have ever before been able to realize.
According to Mr. Moore, information can be bought and paid for almost in any part of Russia or Siberia.  He said that cameras are not allowed in Siberia, but that he got his pictures with a detective kodak, which was in the shape of a cigar case.  He told how he bribed officials in several instances in order to get the necessary information.
He gave a complete history of the Siberian railroad which he said was one of the world's greatest structures since the building of the Pekin wall.  He showed many pictures taken along the line of the road.
Mr. Moore told in detail of the exile system and how it is carried on.  He told of the horrows and blood-thirsty crimes which are committed on the convicts by the guards and prison officials in this twentieth century under modern civilization.  The crimes and horrors, Mr. Moore said, were actually indescribable.
Quite a lengthy account of Count Tolstoi was given by the speaker, who stated that he had spent considerable time with the Count prior to his death.—

SEVEN TIMES ARRESTED AS AMERICAN SPY
W. Blanchard Moore Tells of Experiences in Darkest Siberia


The half can never be told of that dark land, said Mr. Moore, who spoke last evening to a large audience at the First Baptist Church and his story was ine of the most interesting and most vivid ever heard in Flint.
He started on his trip two years ago, a trip on which countless others had started, never to come back alive.  For every stranger in Siberia is looked on with suspicion.  Every stranger is a spy.  He is searched, the articles found on him are scrutinized.  If the least bit of incriminating evidence is found, he is thrown into the dungeon, there to rot in his own filth and dirt, away from light and fresh air.  There are no courts in Siberia.  There is no law, except the military.
If one were to tell all the details, so revolting, people would think them untrue, because they are so unreal, so inhuman, so cruel, so terrible.  There is no law in the prison colonies.  The criminals are sent to these colonies, to live and engage in business as they wish.  They have to report to the government every ten days.  They have nothing to live for.  They value their lives at nothing, and those of their fellowmen at nothing.  The only crime they can commit is one against the government.  They can murder, pillage, plunder.  The government pays no attention to this.  It follows the course of least resistance, and that is to allow the exiles to do as they please, so long as their actions don't conflict with the military.—

The Flint (Mich.), Daily Journal.




WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY:

TOLD INSIDE STORY OF 'DARKEST RUSSIA'
Spoke Last Night at the Maple Street Methodist Church—Tells of the Land Where There Is No Law.


Seven times arrested as an American spy, three times forced to submit to the closest search made by the Russian officials, for two months a prisoner in the Alexandrofsky prison, and countless times near death at the hands of both convicts and officials, these were among the thrilling experiences of W. Blanchard Moore, in his six months spent in Siberia, where he was sent by the Am.  Press Club to investigate the exile system.
The half can never be told of the torture, the terror, the misery and suffering that goes on in Siberia, according to Mr. Moore.  Although furnished with the strongest credentials, given by United States and Russian officials, and by United States consuls, Mr. Moore had to literally buy his way through the forbidden land.  His trip cost him over $25,000, of which an average of some twenty rubles a day went to Russian officers for military protection.
Mr. Moore spoke here last evening to a large audience at the Maple Street Methodist Church.  And his story was one of the most interesting and most vivid ever heard in Battle Creek.—

TAKES AUDIENCE TO FAR SIBERIA
W. Blanchard Moore Gives Very Interesting Illustrated Talk at College Chapel, on Siberian Exile System


An audience which filled the college chapel Thursday evening heard a lot of things they had never imagined were possible in regard to the exile convict system used by the Russian government in Siberia.  The lecture was on the subject Siberia, Russia and Count Tolstoi, and the lecturer was W. Blanchard Moore who was sent to Siberia by a Western Press Club, spending seven months there at the risk of his life to obtain the material for the lecture.
Mr. Moore gave his talk garbed in the regulation uniform of the convicts, wearing a wig on which the hair had been left off completely from one side, Mr. Moore explaining that all murderers sent to Siberia had the hair shaven from the right sides of their heads.  He also wore the chain fetters which are common to Siberian prisons, and which are welded on so that the prisoner can never remove them.
The conditions in Siberia described by Mr. Moore were many of them unbelievable.
Mr. Moore paid a visit to the home of Count Tolstoi, being the guest of the distinguished and late lamented Russian philosopher for several days.  He exhibited many views of the Count, his wife and his home, which are very rare, as Count Tolstoi was always very reticent about having his picture taken.  Mr. Moore's description of the Russian sage is one his audience will long bear in mind.—

TELLS STORY OF SIBERIAN EXILE
Newspaper Man Lives For Six Months In Russian Siberia


W. B. Moore, lecturer and newspaper man of wide experience, lectured before a large audience last evening at St. Joseph's Auditorium, appearing on the Y. P. A. lecture course.
Mr. Moore was selected by a Western Press Club to study the exile system and the people of Siberia, and for six months he was given the opportunity of living among them, although often under great difficulty and with personal suffereing.
His lecture was illustrated with stereopticon views, most of which were taken with small cameras having the appearance of a cigar case or a field glass.  Some he purchased by bribery and some he secured from Count Tolstoi, on whose estate he spent several days before the aged author's death.
The speaker held his listeners in rapt attention during his story of the indescribable misery and wretchedness of the lives of the exiles.
In conclusion, Mr. Moore referred again to his visit to Count Tolstoi and described the beautiful estate covering 2,500 acres of cultivated land, the fine chateau with its wonderful library, and he quoted the Count as saying: There should be no prisons, there should be no laws; we should be governed only by conscience.  There should be no factories, for every man should be a tiller of the soil and live by the fruit of his hand.
The next number on the course will be December 1, when the Hawley Trio will appear in a concert.—

W. Blanchard Moore, Only Human Being to See 'Arctic Inferno' and Live, Lectures in Lansing

The only human being to see the inside of the charnel-like punishment house of a Siberian prison colony, and come out of Russia alive is W. Blanchard Moore whose lecture at Plymouth Congregational Church, Thursday night, brought a vital message to a Lansing audience.
Prisoners of the Russian government have made thrilling escapes from Siberia, and in many American cities there are such fugitives, but it is doubtful if many of them are victims of the Arctic Inferno and certain that none have ever been inside the capital punishment house of a penal colony, such as Mr. Moore visited.
To Shredmyklymsk, the most dreaded penal colony of Siberia where the average temperature is 54 degrees below zero, the brightest minds of Russia's political and social life are sent; when either for cause or trumped-up charges they are technically considered to have merited exile.  Exiles to Shredmyklymsk become insane within a short time, three years being the longest that any mind, has been able to hold out, said Mr. Moore.—
