SEEK LANDINGS
 FOR AER0PLANES

New London, Aug. Allan R. Haw- ley, former vice president of the Aero Club of America and president of the Aero Corporation has arrived at the Griswold accompanied by Frederick Mckay, also a member of the Aero Club. They are making an auto mobile tour through the New England coast towns in the interests of the club to find suitable landing places for aeroplanes and dirigibles.
 MT. Hawley was at Narragansett Pier early last week and was enter tained there by Samuel H. Valentine who is the acting president of the Aero Club of America, in the absence of Cortlandt Field Bishop. MT. Flaw ley also called on A. Holland Forbes at Fairfield, Conn.,, on his trip from New York to talk over matter per- taining to the international balloon race.
 While at Narragansett MT. Hawley visited Point Judith and other life saving stations to discuss getting a line to stranded vessel by aero- plane instead of by lifeboat or gun. The life savers were much interested and agreed that the plan suggests possibilities of vast improvement be- cause the wind dies down hours be- fore the surf subsidies after a storm and before they could launch a boat to reach wreck.
 Many persons here and at other places visited by MT. Hawley heartily indorse the proposition that the life saving stations use aeroplanes Or diri- gibles in the event of wrecks.
 In the fall MT. Hawley intends to make a strong effort to interest the government and he realizes that to attain this end the pressure must come from the public.
 MT. Hawley has paid a good deal of attention to Glenn H. Curtiss' flights over the ocean at Atlantic City. He hopes to induce MT. Cur tiss to test the aeroplane as a life saver instead of as a medium for dropping bombs on a supposititious man of war. The idea is to attach to the aeroplane a light line and car ry the line over the wrecked ship.
 MT. Hawley is one of the charter members of the Automobile Club of America and one of it's first members to take an active interest in aeronau- tics and also one of the first to branch out in ballooning. He has pilots license in the French and American Aero clubs.
 The management of the Griswold Hotel contemplates offering a sub stantial prize next season for the first aeroplane flight up the Sound. Many of the visitors at the hotel have ex- pressed their willingness to subscribe literally to such a prize. Max FIeischmann, we'll balloon enthusi- ast. who is now here, is interested. Mr F1eischmann is the joint owner with A. Holland Forbes of the balloon in which they won the Lahm Cup.

JACK M M'C|RR AS INTERPRETER FOR ! DEAF AND DUMB

Jack" McGirr. one time pugilist, now one of the chaufreurs on the auto-patrol of the police department, demonstrated his broad versatility at police headquarters today when he hecaEle an interpreter for the deaf and dumb.
 McGirr filled the bill admirably The prisoner a lad of 13, was given scolding through Jacks hands, and warned that if he didn't mend his ways he would be put where the dogs wouldn't bite him. All of which Jack wig wagged to the youngster before the gaze of an admiring throng.
 Little Edward Griffin, student at Hartford institute for deaf and dumb, has an irresistible longing for bicycle riding. Since his recent re- turn from Hartford for his summer vacation, Eddie has averaged about one bicycle a day. He didn't really steal the wheels. Mounting a bicycle anywhere he happened to find it, he would ride it until he tired of the ever he chanced to be. Not viciously criminal, said the police, but a mis- chievous youth who needed a warn ing.
 So today they sent out word to Eddie's father to bring him into po- lice headquarters. In came Griffith the elder and his ubiquitous offspring. Superintendent Birmingham had a talk with the father, and then re- ferred the parent and his son to Prosecutor Delaney who stood be- hind the captains desk at police headquarters.

CHILD'S BRUTAL ASSAILANT HELD
 IN HEAVY BAIL

Louis Pasquarello, alias Pasquale, made no attempt to clear himself of the charge of outraging five years old Louise Delvecchio, daughter of Frank Delvecchio, a baker at 34 Cal houn avenue by whom the accused was employed, in the city court to- day. Represented by Attorney Geo. F. Mara, the youth stood in the prf- soners' pen and remained mute as Captain Arnold told of his confession and physicians who had examined the child testified that she was made i'll by f1endish actions of the prisoner.
 Pasquarel1o was held in bail of S3,- 900 for trial in the superior court. The charge against him carries with it the possibility of a long term in states prison. The little girl may be invalided for life, doctors says, as the result of the actions of Pasquar- ello. The prisoner barely escaped death at the hands of the girls fath- CT, who was out with a pistol to kill him late Friday night when he heard from the doctors the reason of his child's illness.
 Pasquarello has brother living in Lexington avenue, who has been prac- tically his only visitor since his ar rest. After he was photographed for the rogues' gallery he was hurried to the county jail to await the action of the superior court.

MUTES WILLHAVE
 CATHOLIC CHURCH

The deaf and dumb of New York are to have a church of their own, where the sermons will be in the sign language. This was announced at the mass for mutes held in the Church of St. Francis Xavier, Six teenth Street, near Sixth avenue, yes- terday morning by the Rev. Father M. J. Mccarthy.
 There were present 250 mutes from New York city and surrounding towns. There was also present Fath- CT T. J. Purtell, s. J. of Baltimore, who has charge of the Jesuit mission for mutes in that city and Father Joseph H. Rockwell, Assistant Provin- ciaL
 For his sermon Father Mccarthy took the story of the death mute healed by Jesus, and told it in the sign language. Heretofore Father Mo- Carthy has been conducting a mission to the mutes, saying mass one Sunday tan one in Brooklyn and another in New Jersey.
 Father Mccarthy expects to have the corner stone of the new church laid within short time. AS yet no funds have been subscribed, but he hopes that when wealthy Roman Catholics learn that there are more than 1000 mutes of their own faith in New York city and vicinity sub scriptions will come in quickly
 After yesterdays mass there was . speeches in the sign language and cheon all went to Fordham Univer- sity, where they indulged in games on the campus, and in the evening had dinner.

Delaney couldn't tell the boy any thing. But McGirr was the right man at the right time. He caught De- Laneys words and passed them through his hands to the child, who was stricken with awe at the over Whelming presence of a half dozen blue coated brass buttoned police men ,who had just come from tssff~ flying in city court
 Jack and Edward had an aufnuax- ed conversation for several minutes. The lad dexterous1y told McGfrr about the pleasures of bicycling. and the policeman with equal celerity. ad- m1nistered repeated warnfusg that if he didn't mend his ways he world wind up behind the bars. If all inn pressed Eddie greatly. When Mcrf 2 bumped his two fists togesper to fn- dicate full stop, Eddie g<asped f5s fathers hand firmly. said adfeu with his free hand and walked home cured, the police hope of his nnfs- chievous propensity.
 Jack was forthwith the center of admiration of the department He was besieged with questions. Where did you learn it?' they asked. You never used to talk that way in the West End.''
 They're all dummies in the West End" vouchsafed Jack, as he hur- ried out to prepare the patrol wagon for it's daily trip with prisoners to the county jail.
