On August 23, 1926, 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 a libel praying seizure and 
condemnation of 990 cases of salmon, remaining in the original unbroken pack- 
ages at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped by the First 
Hank of Cordova, from Cordova, Alaska, in part July 16, 1926, and in part July
21, 1926, and transported from the Territory of Alaska into the State of Wash- 
ington, and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libels for the reason that it 
consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
On September 20, 1926, the Puget Sound Salmon Packing Co., Seattle, Wash., 
claimant, having admitted the allegations of the libels and having consented to 
the entry of a decree, judgments of condemnation and forfeiture were entered, 
and it was ordered by the court that the product be released to the said claim- 
ant upon payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of good 
and sufficient bonds, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in 
part that it be reconditioned under the supervision of this department.
W. M. JABDINE, Secretary of Agriculture.
