On March 27, 1925, the United States attorney for the District of Utah, act- 
ing 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 condemna- 
tion of 462 boxes of oranges, remaining in the original unbroken packages at 
Ogden, Utah, alleging that the article had been shipped by F. H. Speich & Co., 
from Casa Blanca, Calif., on or about March 9, 1925, and transported from the 
State of California into the State of Utah, and charging adulteration in viola- 
tion of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: " Washington 
Navels Request Brand * * * F. H. Speich and Company Riverside, Cali- 
fornia."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that an 
inedible product and substance had been substituted wholly or in part for the 
said article. 
.   . 
On May 4, 1925, the Ogden Commission Co., Ogden, Utah, claimant, having 
paid the costs of the proceedings and executed a bond in the sum of $1,500, and 
the product having been sorted under the supervision of this department, a 
decree of the court was entered, ordering that the good portion be released to 
the said claimant.
C. F. MAKVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
