On June 21, 1926, 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 
John Klaeboe, Seattle, Wash., alleging shipment by said defendant, in viola- 
tion of the food and drugs act, on or about January 31, 1925, from the State 
of Washington into the State of Kentucky, of a quantity of canned salmon 
which was adulterated. The article was labeled in part: (Can) "Petco Brand 
*    *    *    Select Pink Salmon."
Examination by the Bureau of Chemistry of this department of 96 cans from 
the shipment showed that 32 cans, or 33 per cent, contained putrid, tainted 
or stale fish.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for' the reason 
that it consisted in whole and in part of a filthy, decomposed and putrid animal 
substance. ?
