11949. Adulteration, of  canned loganberries.     TJ.  S. v.'45 Gases  of  Canned
Loganberries.     Default   decree   of   condemnation,  forfeiture,   and 
destruction.     (F. & D. No. 17960.    I. S. No. 2882-v.    S. No. E-4555.)
On November 5, 1923, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the 
seizure and condemnation of 45 cases of canned loganberries, at Philadelphia, 
Pa., consigned by H. A. Baker, Inc., Sumner, Wash., alleging that the article 
had been shipped from Sumner, Wash., on or about August 20, 1923, and 
transported from the State of Washington into the State of Pennsylvania, and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article 
was labeled in part: " Inavale Brand * * * Solid Pack Loganberries 
Packed By H. A. Baker, Inc., Sumner, Wash."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted in part of a filthy and decomposed vegetable substance.
On November 27, 1923, no claimant having appeared for the property, 
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered 
by the court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
C. F. MARVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
