JULY 11, 1908.
The following is a statement of facts upon which the case was?
based: On or about January 24, 1908, an inspector of the Department?
of Agriculture located in the possession of the Globe Tobacco Com??
pany, of Detroit, Mich., a consignment of eight barrels of food?
product bearing the mark " H," inclosed in a design the shape of a?
diamond, shipped and consigned to that company by the Rogers?
Holloway Company, of Philadelphia, as a pure, strained honey. A?
sample purchased by inspector was forthwith subjected to analysis?
in the Bureau of Chemistry, and the results obtained showed that it?
contained invert sugar and glucose in a small amount. It was evident?
that the product was not a pure honey as represented, but was both?
adulterated and misbranded?adulterated because invert sugar and?
glucose had been mixed and packed with the honey, thereby reducing?
and lowering its quality and strength; and misbranded in that it was?
sold as pure honey.
On January 27, 1908, the facts were reported by the Secretary of?
Agriculture to the United States attorney at Detroit. Libel for?
seizure and condemnation of the honey in question was duly filed in?
the district court of the United States for the eastern district of?
Michigan, southern division, under section 10 of the act, alleging that?
the said honey was adulterated and misbranded. The seizure was?
forthwith made and notice given to the said claimant to show reason?
why the honey was not subject to seizure and confiscation by the?
United States for the causes stated in the libel; and said claimant?
having failed to answer, the decree as hereinbefore set forth was ren??
dered by the court.
