Cadillac Sees Biggest
 Enclosed Car Year
Record of 4OO0 on Last Model Will Be Excelled by This Seasons
 Business

oIf the records of our business are any indication. the standing of the Cadillac as the country's favorite en- closed car is assured" says B. c. How ard, Cadillac sales manager. "Thls statement is made on the business done last year. This year we expect to exceed that and to have the great est enclosed car business in the his tory of our company.
 Last year the Cadillac company built and delivered to its customers more than 4000 of It's enclosed body types. The full meaning of this fig ure becomes apparent when 1t is known that 1t represented approxi- mately 22 per cent of the Cadillac pro duction: and when it Is further con- sidered that 1t is greater than the to tai output of many factories, includ ing both open and enclosed cars.
 The orders on hand now for en- closed cars of the new model make it necessary. for us to lay our manufac- turing plans for number of these types even greater than we produced last year. Of the shipments of the new model already made. amounting to sew eral thousand, fully one third have been enclosed cars.
 Each season we find an increasing trend toward enclosed cars. This, in a measure. is accounted for by the grad ual breaking down of the old idea that an enclosed car is necessarily for exclusive winter use. Enclosed cars are now used as extensively in summer as they are in the colder seasons"

 MILITARY TRUCKS
 FOR GOVERNMENT
Organization is Represented in This Territory By Cruse-CrawfOrd Man
 ufacturing Co.

The Selden Motor Vehicle company represented in this territory by Cruse- Crawford Manufacturing company, will build standardized military trucks for 'he government.
 Information has just been recelVeo here to the effect that the Selden or" ganization of Rochester. N. T., has been selected by the motor truck sec ton of the quartermaster's general ol- flee at Washington to build the hrst of the new government motor trucks for military purposes.
 Sometime ago the United states army decided that it should have lts own design of motor truck and With that idea in mind various motor truck engineers of the country were calleu in.o consultation, among which Vas MT. w. T. Norton. Jr. chief englneer of the Selden Motor Vehicle company.
 It was finally decided by the oIli- cials in charge to build two classes of trucks for special army use-Class being from one and a half to two tons carrying capacity; Class B, rom three to five ton capacity; Class $ being the more important and one re- quiring special detail construction. The Selden factory, by reason Of thelr past experience in building motor trucks for foreign use coupled With the fact that their product was con sidered as standard construction, was selected from out of the many truck factories to build the first of the Class B trucks of the United States army type. Work has already been com nenced and will go forward night and day until completed

TWO ESCAPED CONVICTS
TAKEN BACK TO PRISON
Deputy Warden, Son OF One of
Prisoners Victims, Here TO
Investigate.
Times Special Service:

sNtNH- AiAtfh NIlttldl NtTNltt-
ELKHART. April II. - Officers
from the MicAigdn City prison came
to Elkhart late Monday and re-
turned with two escaped convicts,
William Claire Robinson, colored,
and Jack Burke, who escaped with
three other convicrs Sunday night
and who were captured here.
Deputy Warden Keller. son of
Louis Keller, the murdered South
Rend merchant policeman for whose
death Burke was sent up for life,
came here Monday evening in the
hope of finding some clew to two
other cOnvicts who escaped with
Robinson and Burke. 1t is believed
the four fugitives came to Elkhart
together, despite Surke's epresen-
tatiOns TO the contrary.
The statement made b. Burke that
another prisoner of the same name,
who shot at officer Leachman when
the latter attempted to arrest him
here in 1910, had died in the Mich
igan City prison. was discredited.
Only recently the Burke whose death
was related here by the captured
convict, made an effort to secure a
pardon and was represented by an
Elkhart attorney. officer Leach
man also has had some correspond
ence with the Burke who was
caught in Elkhart. when found try
ing to rob the Peoples store, within
the last few months.
1t seems that there were three
Burkes in the prison, and the one
captured here after the sensational
escape, admitted that he had never
seen the one sent up from this place.
and stated that the prisoner named
Burke to who he alluded had died
some 10 years ago.
