Consent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product re- 
leased under bond. (P. & D. Nos. 17897, 17898, 178991, 17900, 17901, 
17902.    I. S. No. 12510-v.    S. No. E-4560.)
On November 5, 1923, the United States attorney for the District of Mary- 
land, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District 
Court of the United States for said district libels praying the seizure a ad 
condemnation of 310 cases, each containing 4 dozen cans, of salmon, remaining 
in the original unbroken packages, in various lots at Baltimore, Frederick, 
Westminster, and Brunswick, Md., respectively, alleging that the article had 
been shipped by McGovern & McGovern, from Seattle, Wash., on or about 
August 29, 1923, and transported from the State of Washington into the State 
of Maryland, and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act. 
The article was labeled in part: (Can) "Rose Brand * * * Contents One 
Pound Chum Distributed By Carlisle Packing Co. Seattle, Wash., U. S. A."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On September 23, 1924, the Carlisle Packing Co., Seattle, Wash., claimant, 
having admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry 
of a decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was 
ordered by the court that the product be released to the said claimant upon 
payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the 
sum of $1,700, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part 
that the bad portion be separated from the good portion under the supervision 
of this department, and the bad portion destroyed.
W. M. JAEDINB, Secretary of Agriculture.
