On August 15 and September 14, 1923, respectively, the United States attorney 
for the Western District of Washington, acting upon reports by the Secretary 
of Agriculture, iiled in the District Court of the United States for said district 
libels praying the seizure and condemnation oi 1.109 cases of salmon, remaining 
in the original unbroken packages at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article 
had been shipped by the Alaska Consolidated Canneries Co., from Quadra, 
Alaska in part March 25 and in part July 20, 1923, and transported from 
the Territory of Alaska into the State of Washington, and charging adultera- 
tion in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. A portion of the article was 
labeled in part: (Case) "Ala. Con. Canneries, Quadra, Alaska;" (can) "Tryet 
Brand * * * Pink Salmon Packed In Alaska By Southern Alaska Canning 
Co., Main Office Seattle, Wash." The remainder of the article was labeled 
in part: (Case) "Blue Funnel Brand Pink Salmon Packed By Alaska Pacific 
Fisheries, S'eattle, Wash.;" (can) "Blue Funnel Brand * * * Pink Sal- 
mon."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libels for the reason that it 
consisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal sub- 
stance.
On January 8 and 11, 1924, respectively, the Southern Alaska Canning Co., 
Seattle, Wash., claimant, having admitted the allegations of the libels and 
consented to the entry of decrees, judgments of condemnation and forfeiture 
were entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product be released 
to the said claimant upon payment of the costs of the proceedings and the 
execution of bonds in the aggregate sum of $1,000, in conformity with section 
10 of the act, conditioned in part that the good portion be separated from 
the bad under the supervision of this department, and the good portion released 
and the bad portion destroyed.
