DECISIVE VOTE OF SO TO a.
ENDS LONG DEBATE
Makes Il a Mlsdemeanor to Make
Sell or Ship Adulterated or Mis-
branded Goods-Exempt
Guarantees
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.--After flf-
teen years of more or less serious con-
slderation of the subject the senate to-
day passed a pure food bill by the de-
cisive vote of 63 to 4.
The vote was taken after a day de-
voted almost exclusively to debate Of
the desultory character of the meas
ure.
Several efforts were made to amend
the bill and the committee accepted
a number of suggestions, but only
those accepted were incorporated in
the bill as passed.
The bill makes it misdemeanor to
manufacture or sell adulterated or
misbranded foods, drugs, medicines or
liquors in the District of Columbia, the
territories and the insular possessions
of the United States. and prohibits the
shipment of such goods from one state
to another or to a foreign country. 1t
also prohibits the receipt of such goods
Punishment by fine of $500 or by i'm
prisonment for one year or both Is
prescribed.
In the case of corporations. officials
in charge are made responsible.
Prepare RegulationS
The treasury department and the de-
partments of agriculture and of COM
merce and labor are required to agree
upon regulations for the collection and
examination of the articles covered by
the bill, but no specific provisions are
made for investigation except by the
department of agriculture. The in
vestigations by that department are
placed in the hands of the bureau of
chemistry and if he finds that the law
has been violated the secretary of agri-
culture is required to report the facts
to the United States district attorney,
who in turn is required to institute
proceedings in the federal courts.
The bill also defines foods, drugs,
medicines and liquor, also also defines
the standards for them.
Guarantees Accepted
There is ana exemption for dealers
who furnish guarantees against adul-
teration and misbranding.
The debate on the pure food bill was
participated in by Messrs. Hepburn,
McCumber, Lodge, Foraker, Allison,
Spooner. Penrose, Gallinger, Tillinan,
Bailey, Money and others.
Mr.. Bailey discussed the fundamental
features of the bill, contending that the
Interstate commerce provisions of the
bill were invalid. He took the position
that the regulation of food, drugs, etc,
belonged to the states and that federal
statutes should not be reSorted to for
that purpose. He said we needed bet
ter prosecuting attorneys rather than
more government bureaus.
Begin as you are doing in this bill
and you will soon have a department
as powerful as the postoffice depart
ment," he said, and added:
II doubt if any despotism in the world
invests in one individual as much power
as we give to the postmaster general
who can close any mans business by an
edict from which he has no appeal"
At p. m. the senate began voting
, on the various amendments.
Four Democrats Object
On the final roll call the bill was
passed by vote of 63 to 4, Messrs.
Bacon, Bailey, Fodter and Tillman,
all Democrats, being the only senators
to cast their votes in the negative.

BARD'S END DUE
TO FOUL MEANS
DETECTIVE RETURNS WITH
DREAD NEWS
Senator's Nephew Postponed Return
to America at a French Girls
Suggestion and Is
Slain
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 21-That Alfred
M. Bard, nephew of former United
States Senator Bard of California, met
his death in Europe by foul play was
the statement made by Detective Ser
geant John f. Fogarty, who returned
to New York today on the steamer
Zealand from Brussels, Belgium.
Fogarty went to Europe six weeks
ago to look for the young man, who
had been missing two months. He
brought back part OF Bards effects,
including two valuable violins, one
said to be worth $1,000.
Young Bard went to Brussels in
August last year to study the violin.
He intended to return to New York
on the steamer leaving Antwerp on
october 20 last. His uncle, Senator
Bard, was at the pier to meet him
when the ship arrived, but he did not
appear among the passengers.
Senator Bard then applied to the
New York police, who cabled to the
Brussels authorities and the search for
the young man has been steadily
pressed since.
SIeuth Goes Abroad
When the European officials failed
to find the young man Senator Bard
asked that Fogarty be permitted to go
abroad to prosecute the search, and
he was granted six weeks leave of
absence without pay. This leave later
was extended to March l.
In his capacity as a private detective
Fogarty was not obliged to report to-
10 10 I, ~ a
suit of his investigation, and none of
the details of the search therefore were
available, as Fogarty declined to make
an extended statement.
He said, however, that when he
reached Brussels he learned that young
Bard had made all arrangements to
leave the Belgian city in October, ac-
cording to his original plans. He with
drew $1,000 which he had on deposit in
a bank there, but at the last moment
decided to postpone his departure for
one week.
A French girl with whom the young
man had become acquainted in Brus-
sells was responsible for the postpone
ment, the detective said.
At this point Fogarty declined to
talk further about the case, except to
say that young Bard was dead and
probably murdered.
Woman Missing, Too
It developed later that Fogarty had
some information up his sleeve that
he is not ready to divulge.
Fogarty found the young mans Vio-
lin, music, clothing and other effects
in Bard's room. At the hotel he learned
that just before Bard intended to sail
for New York he had drawn out his
deposit of $1,000 in the Brussels bank,
where he did business. He learned,
too, that the young man had become in
tensely interested during his short stay
in Brussels in a young French woman,
a music student like himself and who
lived in the same hotel. The officer
also made an unsuccessful search for
the young woman.
Before leaving for Washington to re-
port to young Bard's family, Fogarty
was asked:
"Where is Bard?"
II do not know" he replied.
"Is he dead?"
Eyes"
Ibid he meet with foul play?"
"Yes, think he did. 1 could not find
a trace of him. The matter is now in
the hands of the kings prosecuting at
torney in Brussels"
