On July 27, 1927, the United States attorney for the District of Oregon, 
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 160 cartons of chocolate cream bars, remaining in the original unbroken 
packages at Portland, Oreg., alleging that the article had been shipped by the 
Hoefler's Centennial Chocolate Co., from San Francisco, Calif., on or about 
July 5, 1927, and transported from the State of California into the State of 
Oregon, and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act. The 
article was labeled in part: " Hoefler's Centennial Chocolates Hoefler's San 
Francisco, Calif."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in violation of 
section 7 of the act, in the case of confectionery, in that it contained a spirit- 
uous liquor.
On August 24, 1927, Lang, Senders & Co., Portland, Oreg., having appeared 
and consented to the entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation and for- 
feiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product be de- 
stroyed by the United States marshal.
