(F. & D. No. 21060.    I. S. No. 10827-x.    S. No. W-1971.)
On March 6, 1926, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
California, 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 288 cases of red salmon, remaining in the original unbroken 
packages at Oakland, Calif., alleging that the article had been shipped by the 
J. M. McNeice Co., from New York, N. Y., on or about September 19, 1925, and 
transported from the State of New York into the State of California, and 
* charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act.

[1927
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated, in that it con- 
sisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
On January 28, 1927, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
W. M. JARDINE, Secretary' of Agriculture.
