PHILADELPHIA, Juno 22 Translation of prehistoric tablets in the University of Pennsylvania museum here has revealed that women Mayors were regularly constituted public officials in Asia Minor 5,000 years ago. The translations, which con. eern a once powerful, well-organized government and people of which nearly all trace has been lost through long-forgotten centuries, have Just been completed by Dr. A.

AERO CLUB ASKS BIDS ON FLIGHT TO EOROPE Asks Constructors for Special Planes to Prove Feat Possible. IX DOUSE GEN.

BRACK.VKR'S VIEW Lloyds, Believing Air Trip Tlior. oughly Feasible, Refuse to Iasuro $150,000 rri.c. The statements of Major General William Brancker of the British Hoyal Air Service regarding the possibilities of flying acros the Atlantic have been received with hearty approval by the Aero Club of America, and the club's officials made known yesterday the fact that two weeks ago the club asked for bids from representatives of Handley Page, the British constructor, and Capronl, the Italian constructor, for aeroplanes capable of making transatlantic flights, to be paid for by the club. The step in asking for bids followed the refusal of Lloyds to Insure a prize of $150,000 which the Aero Club of America wanted to offer for the person making the trans-Atlantic flight ebtween February and August of this year. Lloyd's would not bet against the flight under any conditions, stating that the flight was thoroughly possible and would be made.

As the subject was dragging the club officials, realizing the importance of showing that war planes can be delivered across the Atlantic in large number by flying them, decided to ask for bids. A letter was written to William H. Workman, representative of Handley I'age, who arrived in this country two weeks ago, and to Lieutenant Leo-poldo lielloni, the representative of Capronl. Mr. Workman has answered the letter, hut requested that the terms given be treated as confidential.

Lieutenant Belloni is preparing the terms of his bid. A copy of Mr. Workman's proposition was sent to John D. Ryan, Di-rector of Aircraft Production, by Alan R. Hawley, president of the Aero Club of America.

Mr. Hawlay stated to Mr. Ryan that if the Government was not planning to carry out such a project in the near future, the Aero Club would be willing to assist the Government by undertaking all the work and expenses connected with doing it. One of the conditions in the requests for the bids was that, the manufacturer would assume the responsibility of having the machine flown across the Atlantic, and it was requested that the constructors specify the size of the bonus required to cover the risk of the flight. Although not giving the terms of the proposition submitted by Mr.

Workman, Mr. Hawley said that Mr. Workman had only asked for a bonus of J2.500, to cover the risk of the flight. This figure is in proportion to the expression of Lloyds when they were asked to bet against the Transatlantic flight. In his correspondence, Mr.

Hawley said in part: "We appreciate, of course, tTiat very large machines like the Handley Page and the Capronl do not grow old in design. They can always be used for bomb dropping at night, when they cannot be seen in tho air, und they can carry on aerial operations against the enemy bases and railroads and can conduct a continuous campaign of destruction against the bridges on tho Rhine, which are crossed daily by hundreds of trains loaded with German troops and munitions. If it were possible to wreck them and keep them wrecked. Germany would be unable to supply her forces in France and Pel-gium. Therefore, thero should be no delay in building large machines the larger the better.

We nave naa ioo much delav in this respect, and the cause of the Allies Is suffering there from. "We also aonrcciate that had we hundreds of large airplanes capable of flying 1,500 miles- without stopping, the U-boats would not dare to attack shipping along the American coast, or anywhero between the American coast and the Azores in fact onvwhere. because these airplanes could strike at the U-boats anywhere. It is only a question of number. Our Allies have found that everything is possible with large airplanes, but they cannot get a sufficient number to cope with the situation.

America has tremendous resources which are practically unused and untouched, and can produce thousands of these large airplanes." Bit. BED CROSS CONCERT.

Shelley, Former Real Estate Broker, Had Nervous Breakdown. WIFE, AT DOOR, HEARS SHOTS. Democratic Politician in Manhattan Turns Revolver on Self Dies Three Hours Later.

Thomas J. Shelley, 47 years old, a Democratic politician, yesterday shot and killed his 6-year-old daughter Grace, his 4-year-old son Thomas and his baby daughter Doris, 21 months old, at his. home on the fourth floor of 1229 Madison avenue, Manhattan.

fourth street and Lexington avenue. The police say that about a year ago he suffered a nervous breakdown and recently returned from a sanitarium. His wife had gone out to do some shopping shortly after noon and when she returned she pressed the bell button in the vestibule of the apartment house. The door was opened from the apartment and sho -proceeded upstairs. When she reached the landing on the third floor she heard her children screaming.

When she knocked at the door of her apartment she received no response. Then she heard several shots fired. Mrs. Shelley's screams aroused other tenants, Including Superintendent Caldwell of the building, who forced the door of the apartment, where little Grace was found lying in the private hallway with a wound in her left breast, Thomas was on the floor in the parlor, and thje infant, Doris, was lying on a couch in the dining room. She died an hour later.

Shelley was found lying on the floor of the dining room, a revolver beside him. Dr. Glauber, from Flower Hospital, pronounced Grace and Thomas dead. Mrs. Shelley col lapsed and was placed in the care of a physician.

Shelley died without recovering consciousness. On a table in the parlor of the Shelley apartment lay a number of school books, indicating that the oldest child had been reading or that the children had been playing school, shortly before the tragedy. The father of Jeremiah A. O'Leary, who is a next-door neighbor of the Shelleys, and who has known Shelley for years, was alone In his apartment when he heard the shots, and he and the superintendent were the first to enter the Shelley apartment. Mrs.

Shelley was taken to the O'Leary apartment. Shelley was formerly in tho real estate business with his brother, Edmund J. Shelley, under the firm name of Shelley Bros. CATHKRINK'S GUILD. Icagiie of- Catholic Teachers to Have Retreat at Brentwood.

When President Wilson issued his proclamation announcing the state of war' last April, he asked his father's permission to enlist and ultimately won it.

He was with the regiment now the 107th Infantry through Its course of training nt Spartanburg, and on its trip to Eu- rope.

The last message received by his father wus the card announcing his safe arrival overseas on May 27. "We were proud of our son." said his father, "and of the fact that he had volunteered, but this Is a std blow, coming so soon after his urrival abroad. Young Bowen had ono sister, Miss Katherine Bowen, also a former Eras-mian, who is a yeoman in the navy. She is stationed in Philadelphia. Sergeant Block Wounded Four Times.

Anderson, in the United States District Court here today, and three Brooklyn youths, Joseph and Irving Shakin, aged 26 and of 38 Seigel street, and Max Belienner. aged 34, were sentenced to serve a year and a half ior meir parts in a conspiracy in me traffic of exemptions from military duty. The men were found guilty yesterday and sentence was pronounced today. Convictions were also obtained against Maurice Bnitkin, Leonard's brother, who Dracticed law here, and A. Joseph Schur.

former appeal aent oi a local conscription Doarn. mwi-rice Bnitkin and Schur got six years in prison. Five other men got short sentences for playing minor parts in the conspiracy. Borne months ago word was passed around Manhattan and Brooklyn that Justice Bnitkin was in a position to get exemption for drafted men. Tho bovs annealed to him and the Judge sent a telegram to his brother in Indianapolis.

Shortly utter, penep-per went West to "arrange matters." The Shakin brothers followed, regis tered in the draft district where Hchur was the Government appeal agent and through Maurice Bnitkin and the Juage, who had followed, the orotners obtained exemption nv pay ing $1,500. When their exemptions had been arranged, the Shakins came back to Brooklyn. The questionnaire, that wonderful little document evolved by Provost Marshal Crowder for fer reting out men's innermost secrets, wiped out all previous exemptions and the answers which the Shakins made, despite their efforts to "camouflage," put them bacK in Class 1A. Otheri. who had bought exemptions through Hchur were similarly affected and there was such toud protest that Schur and the Bnitkin brothers were arrested her, and the Bhakin brothers and Schepper were seized in Brooklyn through clever work by Deputy Marshals Ferguson and Klio- renstein.

Schur, after his arrest, freely con fessed his guilt and toid the Government all he knew, bringing about the conviction of Judge Bnitkin, the atter's brother and the rest of the men involved in the sale of exemptions.

(Chicago nnil Edinburgh tinners plcuau copy.) ONLY ONE RECRUIT ENLISTED ON FRIDAY Recruiting Has Taken a Tumble in Brooklyn.

Recruiting in Brooklyn for th Army has taken a big drop, according to Captain F. M. Uibson, U. B. who is in charge of tho main office at 3S1 Fulton street Whereas formerly from 250 to 300 recruits were received each month on the average, since June 10 very few men have applied for admission to the Army.

The limit was reached on Friday when only one man was accepted in the entire borough. There was quite a rush to enlist Just prior to June 5, when the young men who had reached their majority during the last year had to enroll for the draft, but since then recruiting has been almost at a stand still. Captain Gibson is at a loss to explain tho situation. He believes that it is largely due to tho fact that many Brooklyn men enlist in Manhattan. Kvery man who desires to Join the Army should show his local pride by enlisting In the borough where his home is, the Captain contends.

Enlistment in the is open to men between 18 and 21 31 and 41, men of draft age. not being eligible. All branches of the service are open, infantry, cavalry, field artillery, coast artillery and the Quartermaster Department, including clerks, electricians, mechanics and telegraphers. In addition to the main office, branches are located as follows. Store of A.

I. Xamm Son, 452 Fulton street; 142 Flatbush avenue, 269 Broadway and 752 Manhattan avenue. These offices are open every day in the week, except Sundays and holidays, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Captain Gibson pointed out that Saturday half-holidays arc.

not recognized in tho Army, hence the office hours are tho same on that day as other days. Captain Gibson was retired from the Army for many years, but was called back Into the service to tnka charge of recruiting here during tho NAVY NEEDLES STOLEN Thomas Wren, 32 years old, a Navy clerk employed at the medical stores near tho navy yard, and James Barry, 35 years old, a truck driver, were arrested yesterday by Department of Justice Agents Charles Scully and Oscar Plgnuola in Manhattan and wero arraigned before United States Commissioner Hitchcock on the charge of stealing 100 cases of hypcrdermio needles.
