13502. Adulteration of canned salmon. U. S. v. Carrol F. Buelow (C. F. 
Bnelow  Co.).     Plea  of guilty.     Fine, $50.      (F.  & D.  No.  19346.     I.  S.
Nos. 6102-v, 6S11-V.)
On February 18, 1925, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the District Court of the United States for said district an information 
against Carrol F. Buelow, trading as the C. F. Buelow Co., Seattle, Wash., 
alleging shipment by said defendant, in violation of the food and drugs act, 
on or about December 29, 1922, from the State of Washington into the State 
of Louisiana, of a quantity of canned salmon which was adulterated.
Examination by the Bureau of Chemistry of this department of 48 cans 
from the consignment showed that 26 cans contained fish in a very advanced 
stage of decomposition, 6 cans contained fish distinctly decomposed, and 14 
cans contained  stale fish.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason 
that it consisted in part of a filthy and decomposed and putrid animal sub- 
stance.
On June 9, 1925, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the information, 
and the court imposed a fine of $50.
R. W. DTJNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
