 Shipments of dressed carcasses of calves. sheep and other fuminants, frl- terstate or to foreign countries, are prohibited unless the hides or skins and hoofs are removed.

Scores Rescued From III Fated
 Montana Shaft.

Butte, Mont. Nov. 21.-Fire fn the Northwestern Improvement company's mine at Red Lodge killed eleven min- CTS outright and entombed fifty-four others, who have undoubtedly met death.

MAYOR GEORGE E. MCCLELLAN. garded as certain that all were either burned to death or buried alive and asphyxiated in the debris.
 At the mayors request Dr. Walter Bensel, sanitary superintendent of the department of health, assisted in the work of rescuing the bodies of those caught in the cave-in, and the mayor instructed all department heads, in cluding the police fire and street de- partments and the bureau of high ways, to work with Dr. Bensel.
 Of the twenty men at work in the sewer excavation, which is forty seven feet deep, only four escaped when the explosion and cave-in occurred.
 A mother and two children passing along the street were sucked In by the sliding earth and buried in a flash. Another victim was six-year- old girl.
 Richard Prout was burned to death in all attempt to save the woman.
 The wreckage took fire from the main which caused the explosion, and a huge flame twenty feet In height shot up and in the wavering wind lick ed the fronts of the frame houses along each side of the street. The fire men played streams on the blistering paint, while the police reserves of half dszen precincts routed out the in habitants.
 To add to the hopelessness of rescu- ing the men in the seething mass of debris a water main at Gold and York streets snapped and torrent of water poured through the wreckage.
 The excavation where tue disastrous cave-in occurred was for the new thir- teen and half foot trunk line sewer.
 There was about 150 feet of open excavation along Gold street between York and Front streets. The gas main which was the direct cause of the dis aster was carried on high stilts over the unroofed section. The men in the trench had been working about two hours when large section of the bank gave way This loesened the supports, and the gas main fell. It hung in a bow shape for a few min utes without supports, and then it snapped.
 At the same moment the explosion occurred. The detonation had not died out when the timber work holding up the street on either side gave way. The men trapped in the excavation had no time to make an outcry. The four that saved themselves were at work in the already completed part of the sewer and escaped by running back through it.
 Seven members of the contractors force were arrested today on charge of criminal negligence.
