14.R24 Adulteration of canned salmon. U. S. v. 98 Cases, et al., of Canned 
Salmon. Default decrees of condemnation, forfeiture, and de- 
struction.    (F. & D. No. 17382.    I. S. No. 6650-v.    S. No. C-3950.)
On March 21 and 22, 1923, respectively, the United States attorney for the 
Eastern District of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the District Court of the United States for said district libels praying 
seizure and condemnation of 398 cases of canned salmon, remaining in the 
original unbroken packages in various lots at Marion, Harrisburg, and Mount 
Vernon, Ill., respectively, consigned by the Griffith-Durney Co., Seattle, Wash., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce from Seattle, 
Wash., into the State of Illinois, on or about October 10, 1922, and charging 
adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled 
in part: " Klawack * * * Alaska Pink Salmon North Pacific Trading And 
Packing Company, San Francisco, Calif."
Adulteration of the articles was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
On September 20, 1926, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg- 
ments of condemnation and forfeiture were entered, and it was ordered by the 
court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
W. M. JARDINE, Secretary of Agriculture.
