Washington, May 17.-Nicaraguan authorities, despatches to the Nicara- guan legation here said, have detain- ed a number of suspected revolution ists, presumably on their way to join the Costa Rican rebels. The des- patch added that all revolutionary propaganda. had been strictly prohtb- ited throughout Nicaragua.
 Minister Chamorro of Nicaragua announced today that he had been in structed to deny emphattcally the re- ported participation of the government of Nicaragua in the revolution in Cos ta Rica, and to state that the attitude of the government was entirely neu- ra1 and pacific and that it had in no manner intervened and did not intend to intervene in this revolution or in any other movement of the kind in Central America.
 Any revolutionists who may have entered Costa Rica through Nicara- qua, he said, have been enabled to do so through the impossibility of Nicaragua maintaining a sufficiently strict vigilance over an extensive frontier. Nicaragua has no army. mobilized or otherwise. he pointed out, and is without budget author fzation for an army.
 The government of Nicaragua, dis patches to the legation assert. has taken control of all shipping on Lake Nicaragua that might conduct intend- ed revolutionists to Costa Rican ter ritory.

AUSTR|ANS WILL OFFER VOUCHERS ON MONDAY NEXT Indemnity For Austrians One Twentieth That Huns Must Pay. ITALY GIVES UP
 THE DODOCANESE Pope Has Been Asked to Take Steps to Mitigate
 Peace Conditions.
(By The Associated Press.)

(By The Associated Press.)
 The exchange of credentials between the Austrian peace delegation and the representa- lives of the Allied and Associat- ed Powers will take place on Monday next. The function is set for 3:3O p. m.
 The peace treaty with Austria has been further whipped into shape, and it was made known today that an in- dennity of 5000, 100000 gold marks would be demanded from Austria in the document This means a sum of approximately s1,250.o 100000 or oue- twentieth of the $25,0o0, 100000 Ger many Is required to pay.
 ThesItalians have requested that the Austrian treaty provide for the re- turn to Rome of the many priceless art treasures taken by Austria as booty in previous wars.
 Important developments have oc- cured in connection with the efforts to settle the Italian problem before the Paris peace conference. Prima.- rily the Italians have agreed to relin- quish their claims upon the Dodoca- nese islands off the coast of Asia Mi nor in favor of Greece.
 Italy has been claiming these is- lands by virtue of treaty rights ac- quired after the Italio-Turkish war. although the islands are largely Greek in population. The settlement of this controversy is regarded as a. long step toward the solution of the Italian problem as a whole, and the confer ences among the peace conference leaders are being continued today with a hopeful tone prevailing the re- ports of the discussions.

 "The NC-4 passed station ship No. 14 at 7:06 G. M. P. (3:05 Washington time).''
 The fourteenth station ship is the U. S. S. Cowell, located more than 750 miles distant from Trepassey Bay.

 Another message relayed to the de- pertinent was one from the NC-4. sent at 7:35. Washington time. saying she had sighted landing. It read:

 The intercepted message from tho NC received at Horta at 5:1b a. m Washington time, read:

 The navy department later correct- ed the time of the arrival of the NC 4, at Horta, according to the official report to read 9:20 a. m., Washing ton time, which would make the time of the flight 5 hours and 1 3 minutes from Trepassy Bay.
 While most officers of the navy de- disturbed by the fact that their messages did not come through regu- Iarly during the early morning. Tho. only explanation was that cable com munication between the Azores and the United States probably had bean interrupted by some unforseed hap- pening.

ESTIMATES WERE
 MUCH TOO HIGH
Slim Possibility of Foreign Nation Landing Troops
 Here.

Washington. May IT General March. chief of staff of the army, an- nounced today that experience in troop transport during the war had shown that estimates made by the war department in 1915 as to the possibi- lty of a foreign nation landing troops in the United States were entirely too high.
 These estimates, General March said. included 3s7.oo0 men in 16 days by Germany; 404.O00 by France in the same time: 1s0,oo0 by Austria and 23s.oo0 by Japan. These were based on a calculation of a transport making a round trip every 30 days, whereas experience proved that 55 days was required for even the very fastest of the transports and 70 days for cargo ships.

 Here to Protest
 Against Injunction

Samuel W. Taylor, editor of Rider and Driver" a New York weekly pub licatioa, was in the superior court this morning to defend a suit started against him by Henry F1orke of Greenwich, who claims the editor has obstructed a certain pathway. Judge Curtis was asked to grant an injunc- ton restraining Taylor from continu- ing the obstruction.
 Judge Curtis said he would try he suit next month but did not wish to hear testimony today regarding the injunction petition and then go over the whole matter when the suit was tried. So no injunction was granted. Florke claimed he had been using this path for more than 20 years and said it was necessary for him to cross by this path in order to reach his farm. He said Taylor had planted shrubbery across the way. The editor said Florke had no right to cross his prop erty.

Small, Giant Tractor May
 Soon Be Bridgeport Made

Another enterprising industry will soon he established in Bridgeport, ac- cording to William J. Perry and asso- ciates. who have completed plans and specifications for the manufacture of n novel type of tractor. MT. Perry htated this morning that drawings and specifications have been prepared by the Fletcher-Thompson Co.,, in- dustrial engineers. and delivered to the New England Wire Machinery Go. of Now Haven which concern will build the first model
 Associated with Mir. Perry in the new enterprise is Harry Steckman of Fairfield. who is responsible for tho new type of tractor. He has been experimenting for some time in an effort to perfect his tractor. Some time ago he became associated with Mir Perry and the two mechanics col iaiborated with the result of placing the Steckrnan ideas into a practical 3nachiue.
 The new tractor has many novel and attractive features of great ad- vantage to the small farmer. It is so compact that it will be possible % crate it in a box five feet wide by five feet deep and only 10 feet long. The machine will weigh only $500 fDpuDhS ana VIII DS t1uApPto "llb II powerful Ford Motor. The most novel feature of the new tractor is that 1t has but two wheels.
 The agricultural tool to be hauled by the machine will act as a substi- ute for the third or fourth wheels of the regularly equipped tractors which have appeared in the past. This de- parture from the usual construction of tractors make the new tractor lighter. less bulky and less complicat- ed without losing it's great power.
 Mir. Perry is responsible for tho perfection of the Stedman ideas. He is well known in Bridgeport and Con- necticut manufacturing circles, hay ing been superintendent of the Loco .Ino6iie Co. for many years. During the war Mir. Perry succeeded in main tainine a maximum production of shells and ordnance as superinten dent of the American & British Mfg. Co..
