Last Steps Takes to Make Human
Voice Visible,

Special to Times epubllcan.
Iowa City, June S.-The last steps
in making the human voice visible
thru the aid of the horoscope have
been taken by Prof L.. f. Dodd, of S.
l.. l.. inventor of that device. Since
the late improvements the machine
has been made to resemble small
phonograph both in size and shape.
1t is fitted with a hood similar to
that of stereoscope, which makes 1t
possible for the party taking the
record to look at the revolving cylinder
which is about the size of phono-
graph record, at the normal distance.
The sensitive rejecting membrane In
to which the person sings is attached
to a tube connected with the mouth
piece so that one person may both
operate the machine and see the
record as it is made.
The horoscope is operated by cleo
tricity and it is necessary only to
make an electrical connection to start
it. The machine records the pitch
and tone of the voice and also the ac-
curacy with which the notes are
sounded.

COTCH FRACTURES
Lee At KENOSHA
Retired Mat Champion viii Be Out of
Game for an Indefinite Period
Taken TO Hospital

Kenosha, Wis, July ia pair of
gymnasium mats did something that
no wrestler in the world could do here
yesterday afternoon when Frank Gotch
the champion wrestler, caught his left
foot between the mats as he reached
for a hip hold on an opponent in an
exhibition bout during a circus per
Torrance. His left leg was broken by
the sudden twist, the febula being
spIintered just above the ankle. He is
in the kenOsha hospital, and probably
will be out of the wrestling game for
an indefinite period.
GOtch had gone on the mat with
Ron Monograph Of Chicago only few
minutes before the accident happened.
The bout they started appeared to the
spectators as rough" Monograph
had the champion about the shoulders
when he turned for the hip hold. Then
the champion dropped to the mat.
Monograph saw GOtch had been badly
hurt and called for a physician. Dr.
Curtis II. Gephart happened to be in
the audience and he took Gotch to the
kenOsha hospital, where the fraCture
was reduced. GOtch suffered lot of
pain but he was cheerful An X-ray
Will be made of the injured leg and
GOtch prOpbably will be removed to
Chicago today.
At the hospital with him were Jess
Willard, the heavy weight champion.
and Tom Jones. DIR. Gephart said
GOtch had a bad fracture of the bone
and it probably will be some time be-
fore he will be able to use his leg
again and months before it will be
strong enough for him to go on the
mat
GOtCh declared at the hospital that
this was the first injury he has suf-
fered in his II years of wrestling.

CLOSE RACES RUN
AT HAWTHORNE
Events Worthy of EPSON Downs as
Far as Close Finishes are Con-
cerned Seen i'm Chicago.

Chicago, July 19.-Racing that
would have been worthy of EPSON
Downs, if only the finishes be CON
sidered, was seen at Hawthorne yes
terday. Even old timers were stirred
by the windup of three of the races.
In the fourth and again in the sixth
race, a blanket would have covered
the first four horses half a dozen
strides from the wire.
To illustrate the closeness of the
finish in the last race, President
Steward Fitzgerald said that as the
leading quartet was within 20 feet of
the finish he thought Charles Francis
would win, and Charles Francis fin
ished fourth.
The fourth race was the Hawthorne
handicap at a mile and seventy yards,
with but four starters, of which Grow
er Hughes was selected d slight favor
tie over white, with Casey Jones in
greater demand than the 3Year-Old
Huffaker, and Herbert Temple a rank
outsider
Murphy took Casey Jones out in
front, and set a dazzling pace all the
way around, probably following in
structiOns, but thereby beating his
mount He turned into the stretch with
a ledu Vi lOuI ISuSlHS, Will bIONcl
Hughes at this period his closet com
petitor. closely pressed by Huffaker
and White. Then began thrilling
and apparently hopeless chase after
the flying Casey. Little by little the
trio cut down the distance between
them and the leader, and the crowd.
long before the actual finish, scented
a spectacular windup.
At the 10th pole Casey had a length
and a half TO spare over the other trio,
which actually seemed to practically
nod and nod. Foot by foot they
gained on the leader, the jockeys all
driving madly and the crowd shouting
furiously Only a few jumps from the
end all were on even terms, then the
greater staying power of White as
serted itself and the latter crossed the
line a half length in the lead, while the
remaining trio were so close together
that the spectators had to wait the
official announcement to know that
Huffaker had gained second money,
with Grover Hughes nosing out Casey
Jones.
