the rabbits into a header box and
then haul them to town.

AMERICANS DENIED
THEIR PASSPORTS
In Order to Leave Nicaragua During
the Revolution, Passengers Must
Take Western Route.

WASHINGTON, Oct 26.-President
Zelaya of Nicaragua has denied pass
ports to Americans to leave Managua
by the north. This news reached the
state department from the American
consulate at Managua, the capital. The
department has taken no action in the
matter. 1t appears from the brief
dispatch from the consulate that pass
ports to Americans were not refused
when departure was to be made from
tae Pacific coast. Travel north from
Managua is into the territory of the
insurrectionists and it is presumed
that President Zelaya was not only
unwilling to guarantee protection to
Americans travelling in this territory
but that he desired to prevent infor
nation about the situation at Man
aqua being carried to his enemies.

GLIDES TO EARTH
LIKE A PIGEON
Wilbur Wright Shut Off the Motor of
His Aeroplane and Came
Down Gracefully.

COLLEGE PARK Md, Oct. 26.-In
a flight at dusk last evening, Wilbur
Wright demonstrated his ability to
glide to earth in his aeroplane after
shutting off his motor. The perform
ance was for the edification of his
pupils, Lieuts. Lahm, Foulois and
Humphreys, each of whom had accom-.
panied Wright on previous flights.
The high wind which had prevailed
throughout the day had spent it's force
at o'clock and shortly afterward the
machine was taken out t. the stast-
ing track. While in the air at a
height of probably $50 feet Wright
shut off the motor and glided to earth
in approximately 13 seconds. He land
ed without mishap.
