14046. Adulteration of frozen eggs. TJ. S. v. 950 Cans of Frozen Eggs. De- 
cree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product released under 
bond.     (F. & D. No. 20776.    I. S. No. 6184-x.    S. No. E-5617.)
On January 18, 1926, 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 950 cans of frozen eggs, remaining in the original 
unbroken packages at Philadelphia, Pa., consigned by the Western Cold 
Storage Co., Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped from 
Chicago, Ill., on or about December 24, 1925, and transported from the State 
of Illinois into the State of Pennsylvania, and charging adulteration in viola- 
tion of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: " Whole 
Eggs 30 pounds net weight Licensed Breaker No. 11 Rothenberg & Somerman, 
Chicago, Ill."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal 
substance.
On January 25, 1926, I. Walter Bickley, Philadelphia, Pa., having appeared 
as claimant for the property, 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 $5,000, in conformity with section 10 of the act, con- 
ditioned in part that it be sorted under the supervision of this department and 
the portion unfit for food be destroyed or denatured.
R. W. DUNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
