A serious outbreak Of tuberculosis

qucnt filters Of young pigs.
The Bureau Of Animal Industry is
endeavoring to locate infected farms,
or at least infected localities, and to

tricts. Owing to the number of hands
through which hogs 30 before reach
ing the abattoirs this is not easy, but
it can be and is being accomplished.
Already, through cooperation with
the state authorities, large number
of infected farms have been definitely
located The conditions on these
farms have been investigated, the
source of the disease determined, and
methods for its suppression recon-
mended. Both the bureau and state
officials have been working with these
ends in view When hogs have been
found to be tubercular when slaught-
cred under the Federal meat inspec-
ton and the farm from which they
came has been located, the state vet

this officer is empowered by law to
any farm when he suspects
the presence Of a contagious disease
thereon. He then applies the tubcr-

otherwise locks for the source of in

finding the cattle tubcrcular.

Halifax, Dec 1O.-The deck cargo
of the British steamer Picton, laden
with munitions, caught fire last night
and only the quick land courageous
work of a Halifax company of rifle
men prevented another big explosion
in the harbor. The men boarded the
ship, threw the burning cargo over
board and checked the flames before
they could spread to the holds The
vessel was taken to sea today ana
sunk.
After the Picton had gone to the
bottom it was announced that there
was absolutely no danger now of 9TH

Halifax, Dec 1O.-Members of the
crew of the Belgian steamer lmo as
sert that the French munitions steam
er Mont Blanc was to blame for the
collision which caused the terrible ex-
plosion last Thursday. Employees OF
Pickford & Black, agents for the lmo'
who have been providing the crew
with clothes and other comforts, made
public today the stories told them by
TIE seamen.
Their version of the tragedy fol-
lows:
.The Imo was proceeding down the
harbor toward the sea when the Mont
Blanc was seen coming toward her
apparently steaming for the Bedford
Dartmouth side of the narrows. She
blew two blasts of the whistle, indl-
eating that she was going to star
board. The limo replied with two
blasts The Mont Blanc turned and the
crew of the limo thought that they
could pass in safety but the distance
between the two vessels was too short
and the limo rammed the Mont Blanc
on the Starboard side
Every Man Above Deck Killed.
Neither vessel appeared to be seri-
ously damaged by the collision. After
they separated the Mont Blanc head
ed for one Of the city piers The limo
went on. The skipper's intention be-
ing, the crew believed, to get into
shallow water to find out exactly what
damage had been done to his ship.
THE seamen received their first
warning of danger when. they saw
chemical flames leaping from the
decks of the Mont Blanc. Then came
the explosion. The limo was caught
in the tidal wave and riding on its
crest was hurled on the rocky beach.
The sailors declare that no attempt
was made to leave the ship until she
struck and that every man was in his
place.
THE captain was standing on the
bridge and his head was blown off.
The wheeIsman was at his post and
his body was found in that position
