On September 18, 1920, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of Texas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
Distinct Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure 
and condemnation of 365 sacks of pink beans, at Brownsville, Tex., alleging 
that the article had been shipped by Sinsheimer & Co., Stockton, Calif., on or 
about April 3, 1919, and transported from the State of California into the 
State of Texas, and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act, as amended.
It was alleged in substance in the libel that the article was adulterated in 
that it was filthy, decomposed, and putrid.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article was food in package 
form, and the quantity of the contents was not plainly and conspicuously marked 
on the outside of the package.
On November 4, 1920, 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.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
