of Tomato Catsup. Default decree of condemnation, fox-Texture, 
and destructioxx.     (F. & D. No. 14132.     I. S. No. 6361-t.     S. No. E-3026.)
On January 3, 1921, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, tiled in the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and 
condemnation of 499 cases of tomato catsup, remaining unsold in the original 
unbroken packages at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been 
shipped on or about December 7, 1920, by the Cruikshank Bros. Co., Pittsburgh, 
Pa., and transported from the State of Pennsylvania into the State of New 
York, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. 
The article was labeled in part, " White Rose Tomato Ketchup."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable substance.
On January 20, 1921, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg- 
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the 
court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
E. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
