DEAF READ WORDS ON
MOVIE ACTORS LIPS
Interesting show for Handi-
capped i'm Life at Rum
ford Hall.

Only those Of the audience who were
deaf understood what the actors were
saying yesterday at the nrst production of
with the Eyes OF Love- at Rumford
Hall. To the others il was all pantomime
like any other moving picture show.
This turning of the tables was brought
about by Principal Edward h. Nitchie of
the New York School for the Hard of
Hearing. who planned with Epes VIM
uhrop Sargent, the author. lip reading
movie. the first, IL was said, that has ever
been produced.
To the more advanced pupils of the
school most moving pictures in which
the actors have spoken the lines Of the
play while the camera was IN action are
speaking movies That is, they are able
10 catch about 20 per cent Of the words
by reading the lips of the moving picture
players. and so are "A long jump ahead of
their less gifted brothers who can hear.
The motion pictures were preceded by
tho annual lip reading contest Of the
school. in which several former cham
pons took part. First came sentences
containing homophenous words, as for in
stance: Every rose has its thorn" and
The first i've rows OF seats are re-
served" II is OF course impossible to
distinguish between rose and rows. so the
test is one OF quiCkness Of mind In getting
the right word from the context
Miss A. W. Peck Won this contest and
Henry Mela WAS first among the begin
ners.
Next Principal Nitchie read a story.
Then the pupils wrote out report OF what
he had said. using his exact words as far
10 possible Mrs. A. +. Holly. Jr.. twice
champion of the school. was first in this
and Mr.. Mela again took honors among
the beginners.
Then came a one act play The
Trumpet and the Eyes" in which Miss
Edith b. Jane. Miss Florence Taylor.
Miss t. Isabel Lane and Mr.. Nitchie took
part II was a clever little sketch
showing the advantage of lip reading over
the ear trumpet. As Miss Peck was again
first she was declared champion OF liz

BANDITS CAPTURE TRAIN.
Americans Believed 10 Ne Among
CssttilO's Prisoners.

III FAso. Jan. 27.--A Mexico North
western mixed train has been captured by
Maxine Castiilo's bandits below Guzman.
Castillo was at one time chief OF Fran
cisco Madero's bodyguard.
The train left Juarez Monday morning
for MADEIRA. To-day a section foreman

had been captured. bridge burned below
Guzman and the telegraph wires cut be-
low that station. in the vicinity of the
American Mormon colonies The train
was composed OF passenger and freight
cars and carried "A number OF American
ranchers and cat;lemen who were going
to western Chihuahua to look after their
interests
Some concern Is felt for the safety of
the Americans on the train because OF
Castilo's order to his bandits TO shoot al!
Americans who return 10 their ranches in
the western part OF the State which he
controls. Castillo's bandit band Is said 10
be growing every day, as the former Fed
erals who deserted at OJinaga and Pre-
sidio are Joining him. 1t Is also believed
that many ex-prisoners from Fort Bliss
are joining the Castillo band in western
Chihuahua
The report OF the capture OF the North
western train was communicated TO the
Juarez rebel commander and force OF
soldiers is being organized TO go down the
Northwestern and search for the bandits,
who are believed TO DO holding the pas
sengers and train crow prisoners near the
railroad.
Pancho villa has wired to Juarez from
Chihuahua to his agents rot to permit any
cattle to be shipped out of Mexico except
on his written order. One thousand head
Of cattle from William Il. Hearst's ranch
at Babicora, chihuahua, arrived In Juarez
to-day over the Northwestern and will
be brought across the line. Tho Hearst
managers have Villas signature on their
expectation permit and will probably ship
several thousand more head OF cattle 10

Efficiency experts should devote more

OF the leading statisticians OF the country,
speaking yesterday afternoon 10 members

IL an efficiency engineer Is honest. Mr..
Babson said, he will recommend In most
cases the firing of the president the en-
ployment OF new treasurer and the
choosing of new hoard OF directors.
II believe" he went on to say, 'that
the greatest inetiiciency is In the boards
of directors OF our various corporations.
Most OF these men are indifferent and
attend meetings only for their fees. II
they attend at all Moreover. many OF
them hold their positions simply because
OF inherited property and are utterly UNI
fitted for their work.
I'm fact. believe that n knowledge
of these conditions on the part OF organ

objection to being rated and 'efficien'

Mr.. Babson also erppha sized the great
need OF more accurate records in the rat

system. He explained that too little at

bears the "theoretical record 81 the mar
