U.  S. v.  George F.  Schutt.   Plea of guilty.   Fine, $20.
ADULTERATION AND MISBRANDING OF BUTTER.
On March 15, 1913, the United States Attorney for the District 
of Columbia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the Police Court of said District an information against 
George F. Schutt, doing business under the name and style of the 
Ebbitt House Cafe, Washington, D. C., alleging the sale by said de- 
fendant, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on February 8. 
1912, at the District aforesaid, of a quantity of so-called butter which 
was adulterated and misbranded. The product was not labeled, but 
was sold as butter.
Analysis of a sample of the product by the Bureau of Chemistry 
of this Department showed the following results: Refruition, 52.3 
at 40° C.; Reichert Meissl No., 0.55; Halphen test for cottonseed 
oil, positive. Adulteration of the product was alleged in the in- 
formation for the reason that another substance, namely, oleomar- 
garine, had been substituted in whole or in part for the genuine 
article, namely, butter. Misbranding was alleged for the reason that 
the product was an imitation of and was offered for sale and sold 
under the distinctive name of another article of food, namely, butter.
On March 15, 1913, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the 
information and the court imposed a fine of $20.
B. T. GALLOWAY, 
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
