tion.     (F. & D. No. 7127.    I..S. No. 12710-1.    S. No. C-414.)
On December 16, 1915, the United States attorney for the Northern District?
of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the?
District Court of the United Stales for said district a libel for the seizure and?
condemnation of 58 cases, more or less, each containing 4 dozen cans, of tomato?
pulp, remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Chicago, 111.,?
alleging that the article had been shipped on October 4, 1915, by the Scottsburg?
Canning Co., Scottsburg, Ind., and transported from the State of Indiana into?
the State of Illinois, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and?
Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that when?
it was so shipped as aforesaid it consisted in part of a filthy vegetable sub??
stance, and for the further reason that it consisted in part of a decomposed?
vegetable substance, and for the further reason that it consisted in part of *a?
putrid vegetable substance.
On April 5, 1916, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of?
condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court?
that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
CARL VBOOMAN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
