TYPHOID OUTBREAK
 BLAMED ON SHELL.FISH
New York's Health Com missioner Thinks He Has
 Traced Origin

New York, Dec. 23.--"From a diagnosis by exclusion 1t has been almost definitely determined that the excessive number of typhoid cases in New York city Is due to the con- sumption of shell-fish from contam- mated water, Dr. Frank J. Mona- ghan, health commissioner, said to- day.
 He said further that the disease thus far was confined largely to the wealthicr class of automobile owners. They were "foaters," he said, who frequently motored out Of town, and therefore consequently ate at places outside the supervision of the met ropoltan health department.
 The number of cases under treat ment and observation in Greater New York today approaches 500. TWenty-nine new ones were report ed, as compared with six yesterday, and nine on Sunday.
 A true picture of tho situation is not presented, however, by the daily repofts, of phSsiel,ns. eaid the com- mi.ssI Ioner, for doctors, taking no chances on di!sobeying the regula- tions, listed as typhoid" many cases which later showed no trace of the disease.
 As evidence that there is nothing like an epidemic, he pointed out that the total number of cases for the year has been only 1,578, com pared with S90 in 1923; the total number of deaths 157 as compared with 136 in 1923; and the typhoid mortality rate 10 per cent as com pared with a rate of 15,5 per cent in 1923. In other words, the ty- phoid now prevailing is very mild form of the disease, he said.
 "We have 800 known carriers Of typhus germs under supervision" he continued. I've are advocating vac cnation as a positive precautioH against inception of the disease. The water, milk, meat and vegetable supplies have proved beyond sus- picion.
 Tn seeking to run down the dis case. the bureau of preventable dis eases and the bureau Of food and drugs learn that shellfsh figures in the history of nearly every case we have on hand. We have under taken to test the waters of all known shellfsh grounds along the Atlantic coast, from Baltimore northward, but 1t is a big job. Although We may be harming the shellfsh deal CTS. we must advise that no such sea products be eaten uncookod until We are able safely to give them clean bill Of health"
