12705. Adulteration   of   canned   salmon.     U.   S.   v.   350   Cases   of   Canned
Salmon. Consent decree of condemnation and-forfeiture. Prod- 
uct released under bond to be reconditioned. (F.& D. No. 16870. 
I. S. No. 3775-v.    S. No. C-3822.)
On October 3, 1922, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis- 
trict Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure and 
condemnation of 350 cases of canned salmon, remaining in the original un- 
broken packages at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped 
by C. F. Buelow Co., from Seattle, Wash., March 3, 1922, and transported from 
the State of Washington into the State of Illinois, and charging- adulteration 
in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: (Can) 
" HalFs Holsum Brand Coho Salmon."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal sub- 
stance.
On September 27, 1924, James JR. Baiter & Co., Chicago, Ill., claimant, hav- 
ing admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry 
of a decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was 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 a bond in the 
sum of $1,000, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part 
that the good portion be separated from the bad portion and the bad portion 
destroyed.
HOWARD M. GOEE, Secretary of Agriculture.
