Boston. July THE Bunker Hill
was stationary when she was struck by
the Massachusetts. The steel Prov of
the Massachusetts struck the Bunker
Hill amidships and cr1mpled up the
side of the quarter deck and main sa-
loon deck fer distance of so feet The
plates of half-inch steel were torn
completely off, exposing the barber
shop, chief engineers room, several
stateroems and the main dining room.
The chief engineer was bruised about
the back and one passenger, whose
name could not be learned, had his
leg cut.
According to Capt. Hawes of the
Bunker Hill he was lying 10 in the
fog. He knew of the approach of the
Massa chusetts and states he signalled
for her to go TO starboard. Instead,
says Capt. Halves, the Massachusetts
went to port and struck him.
The passengers of the Bunker Hill
were aroused from their sleep by the
accident and Immediately rushed to
the decks in their night clothes. When
1t was learned the damage was all
above decks and that the vessel would
proceed. all were quieted.
Vice President Jones of the East
ern Steamship Corporation said, to-
night, of the accident: 1T Was very
slight collision and the damage was
small, amounting to some $4,000"

The amount of fines imposed during

Of which has gone to the counties in
which the cases were tried. The other
half has been paid to the state treas

school fund, from which it will go
back to the different counties of the
state.
Disputes as to tests or weights of
products are almost daily referred to
this bureau for settlement either by
producers, distributors or consumers,
and a great many analyses of dairy
products have been made in the bu-
reaus laboratory to settle these dis
putes. Consumers, suspecting adulter-
alton of their milk or cream supply,
or suspecting that preservatives had
been added for the purpose of prevent
ing or delaying fermentation or sour
ing, have also sent in samples to be
analyzed.
For a long time after chapter 4S9,
statutes of 1911, was approved (on the
21st day of April, 191D requests were
received daily for copies of the chap
ter and more than 5000 have been dis
tributed, m ostly to producers, and dis
tributors Of dairy products.
Selling Butter by Weight
The law providing that butter must
be sold by weight and not for a greater
weight than the true net weight was
passed during the session of the legis-
lature of 1911 and approved April 81,
1911. During the session of the legis-
lature in 1905 an act was passed re-
quiring the marking of the exact
weight On all packages of butter CON
tanning less than six pounds, and more
than one-half pound. But this law was
declared unconstitutional by four
judges Of the supreme court, while
three of the judges dissented from the
opinion. To test this new law one Of
the dealers in butter in San Francisco
had a complaint sworn to against
himself charging that he had sold but
ter by the square and not by pounds
anu OuHCeS dS the Id
were no charges in the complaint that
the square did not weigh two pounds,
or one and a half, or one pound but
simply that it was sold by the square.
The judge of the lower court found
him guilty and fined him $40. The
case was carried to the superior court
in San Francisco, where the decision
of the lower court was sustained. 1t
was then carried to the appellate court,
and again sustained and it has been
carried no further. I desire to state
here that this new weight law" was
urged by the San Francisco Wholesale

would complain that the squares did
not run uniform and that many were
short, or that they desired to change
their order to full weight, and in that
way the wires would be kept hot for
days. The bureau has found, however,
that inspectors must be employed oc-
casionally to look after the weight,
otherwise some one gets negligent and
forgets to look after the weight of the
squares properly.
Using Proper Apparatus
The bureau has a duty which is not
of much interest to the public generally
but which is of much Importance to the
producer of dairy products. This is to
see that proper apparatus is used in
the creameries for the purpose of de-
termining the quality of the milk or
cream, and many thousands of test
bottles, pipettes, scales and other ap-
paratuS are examined every year AMI
the chemist has found incorrect and
condemned so many that manufac-
turer entered a protest, claiming that
many of those rejected were within
the limit of error, but after consider
able correspondence it developed that
the manufacturer had not used the cor
rect amount of mercury in testing the
scales on the bottles and since that a
very much greater per cent have been
correct.
This state has also adopted laws
prohibiting the use of testing appa-'
ratus which is constructed that the
correct results cannot be easily and
accurately determined, and the bureau
does not put its stamp of approval on
of the law. Without proper regulations
in this respect a state might become
the dumping ground for most of the
inaccurate and useless testing glass
ware in the country
Among the prosecutions caused to
be made by the dairy bureaus inspect
ors and listed above were 35 for water
ing and otherwise adulterating milk
These prosecutions have all, with very
few exceptions been brought against
state has laws and most cities have or
dinances expressly providing that in
