Dictagraphs Installed    (April Fool's Day - 1913)

"Some one with sad ideas of a joke yesterday started a report that dictagraphs [recording devices] had been installed in the various rooms of the Pennsylvania state capitol. Legislators were so nervous they couldn't do business at all till today they learned the story was a hoax."
