Lack Of Hearing May Be-

Blu. in spite of the fact that Mr.. Hunt
was bern deaf and dumb, he has a
wonderfully acute sense Of vibration
which HAS been developed to such an
extent that he has learned to play the
piano with a proper appreciation Of
time, tone value, harmony and rhythm
He can follow the orchestra and keep
exact time. No, the orchestra does not
follow him as the band follows the
dancing horse at the circus. for when
he Ia through with his piano number.
the orchestra begins again, Hunt seixes
a piece OF crayon, and. In time with the
orchestra. draws seven cartoons and
makes an original etching on glass In
seven minutes. besides printing thirty
words that are part Of his marvellous
act.
No Sympathy Needed
By This Deaf-Mute Actor.
Nobody need be sorry for Zelland

faculties are 30 trained that he Is able
to Appreciate and enjoy a great many

WILSON IS UNKNOWN
BY MANSION GUARDS
Policemen Suspicious When He
Walks Past, But Then Light
DaWns Upon Them.

President Wilson returned to the
White House about s o'clock yesterday
afternoon from a long. rapid walk, and
as he marched by the policemen sta
toned outside the Executive offices
they glanced at him suspiciously.
When the new President started, with
Secret Service Operative Taylor, down
the paved path leading to the base
ment floor of the White House, a light
broke upon the men in blue. They
ihurriedly summoned passing acquaint-
ances.
rs that the President?' they in
quired-
Hereafter they will know the new
boss of the Executive Mansion.
1t is stated that President Wilson
intends to dispense with a certain part
of the protection that has always been
given a President, notably to dispense
with the two motorcycle policemen
who follow the Presidential automo-
bile He has a dislike of fiub-dub and
is not impressed with the necessity Of
guarding a President SO closely.
On his tramp yesterday afternoon,
however, the President had with him
three Secret Service men.

BOARD DENIES ODD
PLEA OF TEACHER
New York Educators Refuse to
Give Her Year Off to Bear
and Rear Child.

NEW YORK, March i3.-Friends of
Mrs. Katherine Campbell Edgell, high
school teacher, whose request for a
years leave Of absence without pay to
bear and care for a child, was turned
down last night by the board Of educa-
ton, were expecting today to hear that
she had decided to carry the fight into
the courts. The summary action Of the
board in dismissing the request without
allowing debate was resented strongly
by Mrs. Edgelrs supporters, and she
was urged not to let the matter rest.
The vote Of the board Of education was
80 to against the application. 1t fol-
lowed vote Of Is to 8 against putting
the question to open discussion. tho
members of the board in the majority
appearing to consider the case too DELI
cate a matter to debate in the presence
of the throngs of women teachers who
gathered to watch the boards proceed
ings.
This affair has already aroused too
much publicity and notoriety," said
Morton Stein, one Of the leaders Of the
opposition to Mrs. Edgelrs request, "anc
I move that discussion be now closed"
Several members of the board argued
for an open debate, declaring the ques-
ton one Of the most important brought
before the board in years.
Mrs. Edgell was not present and
when notified Of the boards action re-
fused to comment That she had many
supporters among the teachers and lead
ers in civic affairs was shown by the
large number Of sympathetic messages
she received.
Those cr1ticising the action Of the
board Of education assert that the de-
cision against Mrs. Edgell nullifies the
effect of the law permitting MARI,
women to teach in~public schools. They
can have no children unless they absent
themselves without leave and under the
action of the board last night that will
be the occasion for their dismissal.
