Special Agents Complete Probe Into
Panama Commissary Dealings.

Special agents who have been looking
into the dealings with European firms of
John Burke. manager Of the commissary
department of the Panama railroad, have
completed their work and reported to
Secretary Garrison. The report has been
sent to Col. Goehtals, chairman Of the
Panama canal commission for use in con-
nection with evidence gathered in the
Canal Zone bearing upon Burkes deal
ings with contractors.
1t was alleged that Burke had rofited
by receiving gratuities or presents from
the firms from whom purchases were
made. The Department Of Justice has
not yet formally ruled whether Burke as
an employe of the Panama railroad is
employed by the government or by pri-
vate corporation, the question upon which

WOULD BROADEN SCOPE
| OF FOOD ANDDRUGS LAW
Carl Alsberg Discusses the I'm
portance of Preventing
Adulteration.
Addresses Woman's Department of
National Civic Federation-Rev.
Roland Cotton Smiths Views.

A plea for the Strengthening and broad
ening of the scope of the federal food
and drugs law was voiced by DR.. Carl
Alsberg, chief of the bureau of chemis-
try, Department of Agriculture, at the
meeting at Rauscher's this morning of
the woman's department of the National
Civic Federation.
This meeting, it was stated. was to fire
the opening gum in a campaign planned
to extend all over the country by the
National Civic Federation in behalf of
pure and wholesome food and drink.
DR.. Alsberg prefaced his address with
a brief explanation of the real scope of
existing pure food laws as interpreted
by the federal authorities.
=, Forms of Adulteration.
IT manufacturer of vinegar he said,
puts water in his product and brands
it pure vinegar he is guilty of adulterat-
ing the product If pure cane or beet
sugar or an. equally pure sugar strip is
added to honey, the product being Ia
| beled pure honey, the maker has adul-
terated his product within the meaning
of the law. Our present laws do not
distinguish between authorizations that are
merely cheats or cheapeners and those
that are harmful to health
| DR.. Alsberg discussed the necessity fol
J additions to existing laws that would eX-
I tend their scope so as to permit federal
| inspection of all factories or places where
! foods and drinks of any kind are manu-
| featured or produced. A law such as
| is imperatively needed, he says, would
! permit federal inspection of all diaries,
Slaughterhouses, creameries and cheese
| factories, as well as of all factories, large
| and small in which foods are manu-
| featured or prepared for sale and con.
| sumption.
Suggests Cooperative System
That the enforcement and administra
! ton Of laws such as he outlined would
necessitate the cooperation of the public
health service with other agencies, ant
; that such cooperation would within {
| few years do away with such epidemic
| of scarlet fever, typhoid and similal
| diseases borne in milk from unclean o.
| insan tary .ountry dairies to consumer
! living in cities, was one of the declara
| tons on whish DR.. Alsberg laid specia
| Stress
The meeting was presided over by Mrs
| Archibald Hopkins. Rev. Roland Cottor
! Smith was introduced and spoke briefly
| of the necessity for cooperation between
| the various agencies at work in Wash
| ington for the amelioration of alley stun
| conditions, declaring that not until tn
inhabited alleys and other slum localitie
of the city are wholly done away will
will the health and well-beng of any resi-.
dent of Washington be reasonably safe.

unconstitutional

a course, the Attorney General has re-
