MORTON SALT BLOCK BURNS.
Great Structure in Hutchinson, Kan
Distinguishes, $50o,000.

Hutchinson, Kan, March 27.-The
Morton Salt block, the largest in the
world, owned chiefly by Joy Morton
and Paul Morton, former secretary of
the navy, was destroyed by fire. The
loss embraced new $250,000 ad-
dition to the plant and vast guam
tity of refined salt, and may reach
100000.
The fire started from the explosion
of coal oil lamp. Crude oil was
burned in the furnaces, and in some
way the fire was quickly communicate
ed from the boiler room to other parts
of the building. A strong southwest
wind famed the flames and caused
them to spread rapidly. In few
days the new quarter-million-d dollar
addition to the plant would have be-
gun the manufacture of salt by the
vacuum process. A battery of eight
of the largest oil burners ever con-
structed had been installed for the
operation of this part of the plant
These, with much other costly ma
chinery, are mass of twisted iron
With the exception of the new part
the plant was covered by insurance.

that from 500 to 1000 American
teachers will go to Great Britain next
year to study that country's education
al system. This will be an American
adoption of the recent experiment of
Alfred Moseley, the English educator
of having several hundred British
teachers to visit this country to in
vestigate our schools and school meth

1t is understood that Mr. Moseley
will make the same arrangement for

Decorah's Biz Dam CoIlapses.

The big cement dam on the Iowa
river near DEBORAH, just completed,
collapsed last Sunday forenoon and
with the exception of about 30 feet is
a total ruin, including the power
house and Its machinery.
The dam has but recently been com.
pleted at cost of about $4,000 and
has been tested several times and on
Saturday night the gates were closed.
and the lake allowed to fill with
water. The only person at the dam
Sunday was the Waterman. His at
tention was first attracted to streak
OF dirty water escaping beneath the
power house on the lower side. And
the next moment the streak became
a regular geyser that shot the water
and gravel high in the air. CHANGING
about he noticed the dam was totter-
ing and as he fled over the roof of the
power house to the shore the great
structure, seventy feet in width aud
twenty feet high, collapsed and break.
ing into huge blocks was hurled some
distance down stream by the mighty
rush of waters backed by all the force
that body of water several miles In
in extent could command.
The power house, forty feet square,
at one side OF the dam was another
structure Of cement somewhat higher
than the dam but solid part of it
from the bottom up. This was rend-
ed and terribly shattered by the co..
lapse of the dam but a greater portion
of 1T containing the machinery still
stands though so badly wrecked it is
useless. II 1T will hold together so as
to permit the removal of the valuable
machinery much additional loss will
be prevented. This work will be un-
dertaken at once. The present de.
struction is estimated to represent a
loss of s25, 1000.
The first explanation OF the disaster
is that faulty constru ction of gates
under the power house allowed leak
to start under the wall of the power
house which soon undermined the
power house and dam.

a former justice of the supreme court,
Peter B. Olney, lawyer, and DR..
Leopold Putzel, appointed by Justice
Fitzgerald of the supreme court will
decide the question as to whether
Harry K. Thaw is now sane and his
trial before a jury for the murder of
Stanford White will be interrupted
pending the report of this commits
sion.
Justice Fitzgerald's decision to ap-
point commission followed a confer
ence with the attorneys in the case
Tuesday. The justice told counsel
that he had given the various affi-
davits careful consideration, but as
they were widely at variance, he felt
that he could not properly pass upon
them. Therefore he had decided that
it would be best to submit the entire
matter to commission in lunacy.
If the commission reports that he
is sane and therefore capable of adj
vising with counsel and of understand
ing the proceedings against him, the
trial will be resumed, but if it should
be found that he is not sane, nor cap
able, in legal sense, application will
be made for his commitment to an
asylum, probably that at Matteawan,
for the criminal insane.
AS Thaw's counsel left the room
after the announcement of Justice
Fitzgerald's decision one of them said:
ut could not be worse Mrs. Evelyn
Thaw was weeping as she left the
room to go to the Tombs prison.
Thaw Told of Commission.
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw broke the news OF
Justice Fitzgerald's decision to hel
husband in the Tombs prison in the
afternoon. She was accompanied tt
the Tombs by Messrs. Hartridge ant
O'Reilly of Thaw's counsel, and they
met Thaw in the hospital ward as the
conference room was occupied Mrs
Thaw had nerved herself for the or
deal but her announcement was greet
ed by her husband with condolences.
Never mind, dearie," he said; "it
will be all right. / am sane now, just
as sane as the judge is, and any fair
minded commission will declare me

Employers, LIABILITY,

BY a vote of 70 to II, the house of
representatives passed the De Wolf
assumption of risk bill. AS it has
already passed the senate it will go
to the governor for his signature. The
bill provides that, when an employee
has reported defect in the machin-
cry he is to operate, his continuance
to operate that machinery does not
constitute an assumption of risk and
prevent his recovery at law.
