13553. Adulteration of canned salmon.    IT.  S. v. 75 Cases of Salmon.     Con 
sent   decree   of   condemnation   and   forfeiture.     Product   released 
under bond.     (F. & D. No. 17892.    I. S. No. 12510-v.    S. No. E-4564.)
On November 6, 1923, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of West Virginia, 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 75 cases, each containing 4 dozen cans, of salmon, 
remaining in the original unbroken packages at Charles Town, W. Va., alleging 
that the article had been shipped by McGovern & McGovern, Seattle, Wash., 
on or about October 8, 1923, and transported from the State of Washington 
into the State of West Virginia, and charging adulteration in violation of the 
food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: (Can) "Rose Brand 
* * * Chum Distributed By Carlisle Packing Co. Seattle, Wash., U. S. A."; 
(case)  " Rose Brand Salmon."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal sub- 
stance. 
On October 14, 1924, the Carlisle Packing Co., Seattle, Wash., claimant, 
having admitted the material 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 $1,000, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned 
in part that the unadulterated portion be separated from the adulterated 
portion, and the former released and the latter destroyed.
R. W. DUNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
