VOICE RECORDS
THROUGH WIRE
LONDON, April 16. An invention!
which may, among many other
possible uses, be employed as a com
cription of court testimony by sten
ographers, has been achieved by Major
Lionel Guest of London, England. It
consists of apparatus for recording and
reproducing sounds carried electrically
over a wire.
In a demonstration of the device a
message was dictated into a telephone
placed in the drawingroom of a resi
dence. At the other end of the wire in
another room was a recorder which
automatically inscri!ed the message on
a gramophone record. In a few seconds
the record was placed in a gramophone
and the message was repeated with
great clarity.
Major Guest claims that the best re
sults hitherto obtained in recording the
voice or music over the telephone have
been unsuccessful through being "blur
red" or metallic in tone. "The devel
opment," he said, "has immense possi
bilities. I think in the near future it
will be possible for a receiver to be
placed in a part of the hall where the
speaker's coice is hardly audible, say
in Manchester, and at the other end of
the wire in London the mesage will be
recorded verbatim by the telephone re
corder for instant reproduction through
earpieces to the newspaper offices."

This condition is due to the fact that

Douglas county district court at Miu
den the complaint-in the case which
essays to set aside the decree of di
vorce granted to Mary Pickford on
March 2 in her suit against Owen E.
Moore.
The complaint is entitled the state of ;,
Nevada, on relation of Leonard B.
Fowler, attorney general, plaintiff, ver
sus Gladys M. Moore, known as Gladys
M. Fairbanks, and O. E. Moore, known
as Owen Moore.
It sets forth that on June 7. 1911. at
the city of New Jersey, N. J., defend
ants intermarried and have ever since
been husland and wife.
That on February. 15, 1920. and for a
, long time preceding, defendants were
and are now residents of Ixts Angeles,
Calif., subject to lie regulated and gov
erned by the laws of said state and the
jurisdiction defined and imposed there
by; and that during all of said time
their status of husband and wife was
not and is not now governed or con-
trolled by the laws of Nevada.
That sometime prior to February 15,
1920, one Douglas Fairbanks, resident
of California, and Gladys Moore, en
tered into an agreement whereby they
did mutualy promise to intermarry at
i'.i v ii i an uanns, uiauj 3 t aim
(Kven Moore hv means of which, when
'the divorce was granted, the marriage
of Fairbanks and Mrs. Moore could be
solemnized; that the latter came to
Minden, Nevada, on February 15, and
after seventeen days' residence obtained
a decree ot divorce, ana then returned
to Los Angelgs, her bona fide residence.
In support of the conspiracy charge
the complaint states that simultaneously
with filing of her petition for divorce
on March 1, defendant Owen Moore,
in consonance with the said fraudulent
plan, did wilfully and wrongfully come
within the limits of the county of Doug
las for the sole purpose of submitting
to personal service of summons and
that said service and summons were
'personally served on him by the sheriff

Dispatches from San Francisco an
nounce that the screen star has engag
ed Gavin McNab, noted attorney of
that city, to take charge of the case in
her behalf when the state authorities of
Nevada this week act to set aside the
divorce.
It is reported that McNab will come
to Los Angeles immediately and that a
"council of war" will be held with local
attorneys, Mary Pickford and her new
husband, Douglas Fairbanks.
Mrs. Fairbanks was reported today as
rapidly improving at her Beverly Hills
home from a nervous attack resulting
from worry over the view Nevada offi

McCarran and McNab Confab

Former Chief Justice P. A. McCar

sel for Mary Pickford in her divorce
action against Owen Moore at Minden,

ed seting aside of die divorce decree at
the instance of Attorney General Leon-
ard B. Fowler of Nevada.
Doth McCarran and McNab refused
to discuss the trend of the conference.
It is understood, however, that efforts
are Jo be made to break down the con
templated showing of the attorney gen
eral that Owen Moore established a
technical - service of the divorce sub
pena by remaining within the court's
jurisdiction twenty-four hours.
It is expected that Moore will be call
ed by his former wife to testify that he
was in the state on legitimate business
and not to accept service of the sum
mons. With the length of time that Mary
Pickford maintained a "residence" in
Nevada, the crux of the present atti
tude of the Nevada authorities, several
important telegrams have been inter
changed between the movie star and her
Jjusband, now in Los Angeles.

of McFadden Bill
Governor Boyle today made the fol- i
lowing statement anent the McFadden
bilk recently introduced in congress and i
which practically provides a bonus for
producers of gold :
"The McFadden Gold Relief bill is of
particular interest to miners in Nevada.
"This state is a considerable produc
er of gold both from mines operated
chiefly for that metal and from hundreds
of properties in which gold is an im
portant associated metal. The Corn
stock bullion is nearly half gold in
value ; very important dredging opera
tions for which perparation is being
made on the Carson river and in Gold
Canyon are affected; Round Mountain.
Goldfield, Gold Circle, Jarbidge and
many other camps are suffering from
the conditions prevailing.
"The United States in 1915 produced
$101,000,000 in gold. In 1919 this pro
duction was reduced to $58,500,000. In
the latter year $80,000,000 worth of gold,
old and new. was used in the industrial
arts. There was, therefore, about $21,

be higher than the mint price. In Eng-
land during the war gold was sold to
jewelers for 115 shillings, while the
mint price was 84 shillings 10 pence.
In England it is punishable as a felony
to melt or break up coins. In the Unit

may therefore buy his gold in the open

. "The McFadden. bill proposes first:
To keep the price of gold both to the
mints and the commercial user at the
standard now in effect, or at $20.67 per
ounce. The government, the banker, or
the manufacturer may buy it for that
price ; and second : To impose a license
tax on manufacturers of gold of $10 per

the miner of new gold in the L'nited

"The measure is admittedly sound.
