On May 8, 1925, the United % States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district an information against 
the Shepard Point Packing Co., a corporation, Seattle, Wash., alleging ship- 
ment by said company, in violation of the food and drugs act, on or about June 
30, 1924, from the Territory of Alaska into the State of Washington, of a 
?quantity of canned salmon which was adulterated.
Examination by the Bureau of Chemistry of this department of 192 cans of 
the article showed that 39 cans, or 20 per cent, contained decomposed salmon.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason that 
it consisted in part of a filthy and decomposed and putrid animal substance.
On May 25, 1925, a plea of guilty to the information was entered on behalf 
of the defendant company, and the court imposed a fine of $50 and costs.
R. W. DLTNXAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
