salvaged.     (F. & D. No. 17895.    I. S. No. 12510-v.    S. No. B-4563.)
On November 2, 1923, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure 
and condemnation of 50 cases of salmon, at Altoona, Pa., alleging that the 
article had been shipped by McGovern & McGovern, Seattle, Wash., on or about 
October 8, 1923, and transported from the State of Washington into the State 
of Pennsylvania, and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs 
act. The article was labeled in part: (Can) "Rose Brand * * * Chum 
Distributed By Carlisle Packing Co. Seattle, Wash., U. S. A."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the.reason that it con- 
sisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On September 24, 1924, the Carlisle Packing Co., Seattle, Wash., having 
appeared as claimant and having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment 
of the court was entered, ordering 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 $500, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in 
part that the good portion be separated from the bad portion, under the super- 
vision of this department, and the bad portion destroyed.
HOWARD M. GORE, Secretary of Agriculture.
