(F. & D. No. 7810.    I. S. No. 12033-m.    S. No. C-579.)
On October 30, 1916, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Louisiana, 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 491 sacks of horse beans, remaining unsold in the original 
unbroken packages at New Orleans, La., alleging that the article had been 
shipped on or about October 10, 1916, by Adolph Koshland, San Francisco, 
Cal., and transported from the State of California into the State of Louisiana, 
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 con- 
sisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable substance.
On October 23, 1917, the said Adolph Koshland, claimant and owner of the 
product, having appeared and arranged with a duly authorized representative 
of the United States, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered 
as to the 21 adulterated bags of the product, and it was ordered by the court 
that the article should be reinspected and, in pursuance of said agreement, 
said reinspection having been made and all of the product except 21 bags 
having been found to be not adulterated and having been released to said 
claimant, that said unfit portion should be destroyed by the United States 
marshal.
C. F. MARVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
