On October 2, 1916, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district an information against 
Stylialos MoscaMades and Socrates Molasses, trading as Moscahladcs Bros., 
New York, N. Y., alleging shipment by said defendants, in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act, on March 16, 1916, from the State of New York into the 
State of Pennsylvania, of a quantity of olives which were adulterated.
Examination of samples of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this 
department showed a large proportion of wormy olives.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason 
that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vege- 
table substance.
On December 19, 1916, the defendants entered pleas of guilty to the infor- 
mation, and the court imposed a fine of $5.
CARL VROOMAN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
