On June 12, 1917, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court 
of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and condemnation 
of 90 cans of tomato pulp, consigned on or about March 24, 1917, remaining 
unsold in the original unbroken packages at Baltimore, Md., alleging that the 
article had been shipped by Potts & Kaufman, Inc., Perth Amboy, N. J., and 
transported from the State of New Jersey into the State of Pennsylvania, and 
thereafter reshipped into the State of Maryland, and charging adulteration in 
violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was - alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
was partly decomposed and that the cans containing the article were swollen 
and leaking.
On July 13, 1917, 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.
CARI VROOMAN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
