NICARAGUA NOT TAKING PART.
Official Denies Participa- tion in Costa Rica
 Revolution.

Washington. May 17.-Ncaraeuan authorities despatches to the Nicara- guan legation here said, have detain- ed a number of suspected revolution ists, presumably on their way to join patch added that all revolutionary propaganda had been strictly prohib- ited throughout Nicaragua.
 Minister Chamorro of Nicaragua announced today that he had been in- strncted to deny emphatically the re- ported participation of the government of Nicaragua in the revolution in Cos&' ia Rica, and to state that the attitude of the government was entirely neu- ral 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 hav~ 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 iza ton 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 rttory.

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 estim ates made by the war department in 1915 as to the possibi- 1ty of a foreign nation landing troops in the United States were entirely too high.
 These estimates, General March said. included Ss7. .o00 men in 6 days by Germany; 4o4,0oo by France in the same time; 1sO.ooo by Austria and 23s.o00 by Japan. These were based on a calculation of a transport making a round trip every 30 days, whereas experience proved that 35 days was required for even the very fastest of the transports and 70 days for cargo ships

 BETTER SERVICE

New Haven, Conn.,, May 17.---To consider trolley company problems as they now stand without assisting leg islation from the general assembly which recently adjourned. and with traffic corrdidtions which are said 70 show no betterment with the coming of warm weather, the Federal trus- tees of the Connecticut company met at the offices of the company here to- day. It was thought probable that after the meeting some information would be available as to matters taken up. Since the legislature ad- journed there have been unconfirned reports of intention of the Connectt- cut company-to abandon some subur- ban lines radiating from several cities and which have supplied sDarsely set tied communities with car service, and also that an increased fare sched- ule would be proposed based possibly on the zone plan.

 The fourteenth station ship is the '. g. s. Cowell. located more than 75o miles distant from Trepassey Bay. !

 she had sighted landing. It read: We have just picked up land | again. Think 1t Is Pico.' This referred, navy officers said, to ! the top of the mountain which forms | the western extremity of the Azores ] group.

Small, Giant Tractor May
 Soon Be Bridgeport Made

+ Another enterprising industry will soon be established in Bridgeport, ac- cording to William J. Perry and asso- ciates, who have completed plans and specifications for the manufacture of a novel typs of tractor. MT. Perry stated this morning that drawings and specifications have been prepared by the F1etcherThompson Co.,, in dustrial engineers. and delivered to the New England Wire Machinery Go. of New Haven which concern will build the first model.
 Associated with MT. Perry in the new enterprise is Harry Steckman of Fairfield, who is responsible for the 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 MT. Perry and the two mechanics col laiborated with the result of placing the Stecknan ideas into a practical machine.
 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 .o crate it in a box five feet wide by five feet deep and only 10 feet long. The machine will weigh only $500 pounds and will be equipped with 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 cornplicat- ed without losing its great power.
 MT. Perry is responsible for the perfection Of the Stedman ideas. He is well known in Bridgeport and Con nectic.t manufacturing circles, is.-=- ing been superintendent of the Loco mobile Go. for many years. During the war MT. Perry succeeded in main itaining a maximum production of shells and ordnance superinten f'er. of the American & British Mfg. Co.,

 During the first 700 miles of flight hthe planes averaged approximately hs5 miles an hour.
