corporation. Plea of guilty. Fine, $100. (P. & D. No. 7603. I. S. 
No. 11545-1.)
On January 23, 1917, the United States attorney for the Western 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 
The Naboth Vineyards, a corporation, Brocton, N. Y., alleging shipment by 
said company in violation of the Pood and Drugs Act, on or about January 5, 
1916, from the State of New York into the State of Nebraska of a quantity 
of an article labeled in part, " Brite Mawnin Brand Pure Tomato Catsup," 
which was adulterated.
Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this depart- 
ment showed that the product was partially decomposed.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the inforfiiation for the reason that 
it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, putrid, and decomposed vegetable 
substance.
On November 13, 1917, the defendant company entered a plea of guilty to the 
information, and the court imposed a fine of $100.
C. F. MARVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
