A Blockade Of Exhibits.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 10.-The careless
ness of American exhibitors at the Worlds
fair is likely to cause serious trouble in
arranging the exhibits, and may delay
the installation of some displays until
June 1st. Unless immediate action is
taken and some remedy devised at once a
blockade of freight cars is certain to occur
at the Jackson park. The fault is with the
American exhibitors and with the railroads
bringing goods to the fair. It is estimated
that between now and May 1st 1910 cars
will arrive at Jackson park. The capacity
of the switch yards at the fait grounds is
only 1000 cars. To keep them clear it is
necessary that the cars be distributed at
the buildings for which their contents are
intended, emptied and the empty cars run
out as promptly as possible. With quick
work the tracks could be kept clear for
the incoming loaded cars. To facilitate
the handling of the cars the management
