World.

Sixty carloads OF exhibits, many of
them Burlington products, originating
from all points of the compass, are
Chicago bound in anticipation of the
national cement show which opens in
the Coliseum Thursday. Jan. Is. NJ E.
Gordon, installation manager of the
shaw, arrived in Chicago from Pitts
burg. Following in his wake are three
score cars bearing exhibits from all
sections of the country. Aside from all
this, number of the largest local con-
Germs in the vicinity Of Chicago will be
shown. Chicago, which is really pre-
eminent in the cement industry in
America, will be represented by ex-
hibits which will probably be features
of the show.
The size, weight and unusual pack
ing necessary for the transportation of
some of the artistic exhibits make the
gathering and installation of the ce-
ment show of exceptional Importance.
Workmen began today converting the
Coliseum into a concrete Palais Royal,
here concrete is TO be Rex. Decora-
tors electricians and artisans will have
the right of way for "a hours daily.
working in three shifts, until wednes-
day when the work of installing the
exhibits will be complete.

Joint; Means Over Mile Of
Breakwater.

Chicago is all wrought up over the
announcement from Washington to the
effect that harbor rivalling Chicago's
proposed municipal system of docks is
to be constructed at Indiana Harbor.
The dispatches set forth that the un-
dertakfng will have the cooperation of
the national government to the same
extent as will Chicago.
Continuing they state:
s'The war department engineers have
recommended the expenditure of ST.
0333.000 for the construction of a
breakweater for the Indiana Harbor
works. and the proposition has receiv-
ed the APPROVAL of the rivers and har-
bors comittee of the house of repre-
sentatives.
The committee voted today In favor
of Including the river and harbor bill

Harbor breakwater to be expended
during the fiscal year of 1914 The re-
mainder of the amount Recommended

Escaped Joliet Desperadoes

Lowell, Ind, Jan. 13.-There is
great stew and a stir here over the
report that the three escaped Joliet
convicts were seen four miles west of
here yesterday and headed toward
Gary after abandoning the stolen
auto.
Lake county authorities place little
credence in the story that the out
laws and refugees came through Dyer
went along the state line road, head
ed into Illinois and then back into
Lake county but they are on the job
and on the lookout.
Convicts Abandon Auto.
A Chicago paper says this morning:
Word that the automobile In which
the prisoners drove through the prison
gate had been found was received at
Joliet at $40 o'clock last night. The
information came as a new clew after
uniformed guards, in a pursuing car
and almost twenty-four hours behind
their quarry, had traced the fleeing trio
to a crossroad about four miles west
OF Lowell. Ind. A peculiar tire tread
had enabled them to follow that far.
