ST. PETERSBURG, March 25-The ques-
tion of drumhead courts-martial was raised
in the Duma today on a motion Of the con-
stitutonal democrats for appointment Of
committee to draft bill providing for their
abolition. The cabinet ministers were

NJ. Maklaloff, constitutional democratic
leader, showed the Inconsistency Of the
establishment under the constitution of
martial law and traced its development and
it's continued existence in various forms.
The conservative orators did not defend
the summary procedure, but declared that
desperate conditions demanded equally
desperate remedies. They maintained that
the passage of the resolution would in
volve a surrender to anarchy.
The whole afternoon was devoted to
speeches on the subject and the house ad-
journed at $3.50. with nearly fifty would-be
orators unheard.
1t is expected that the resolution will be
adopted by an enormous majority. II is
not strongly opposed by the government,

MORTON SALT PLANT BURNED
Factory at Hutchinson, Kan, worth
Half Million Dollars Destroyed
by Fire.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. March 25.-The Nor
ton salt plant, the largest in the world.
owned chiefly by Jay Morton and Paul
Morton. former secretary of the navy, was
destroyed by fire tonight The loss EN-
braced a new $25O,OOO addition to the plant
and a vast amount OF refined salt.
The fire started from the explosion Of a
coal oil lamp. Crude oil was burned in the
furnaces and in some way the fire was
quickly communicated 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 $250OO0 addi-
ton to the plant would have begun the
manufacture OF salt by a new process
known as the vacuum process and reputed to
be more economical that the old. A battery
Of eight of the largest oil burners ever
constructed had been installed for the
operation Of this part OF the plant. These
with much other costly machinery is a
mass of twisted iron. With the exception
of the new part, the plant was covered by
insurance
