FRANCE APPEALS TO
TIE SUPREME COURT
Claims Exclusive Right to
Name "Vichy."'
Seeks to Restrain Saratoga Company
From Using Word on Its
Pottles.

The Republic of France is a petitioner
to the Supreme Court for justice in its
own behalf. and OF its lessee, La Com
pagnie Fermiere de Establishment
Thermal de vichy
A petition was filed yesterday for writ
of certiorari to require the court of APP
peals for the second circuit TO certify the
case of the French Republic and the yichy
Company against the Saratoga Vichy Com
pany for review and determination.
The petition sets forth that there is in
France a commune or town named Vichy.
which has been renowned throughout the
civilized world for long time for its
numerous mineral springs. the waters of
which have been universally known as
vichy.
Government Owns Property.
Since the treason of the constable Of
Bourbon in 1881 these springs have been
owned by the state of France, and under
its laws the state is entitled to the exclu-
sive use and enjoyment of the springs, in
GLIDING the right TO use the name viehy in
connection with the waters therefrom.
The springs have been leased by La
Compagnie Fermiere de Establishment
Thermal de Vichy. and it is alleged that
the shipments OF vichy water in 1896 were
nearly 10 000, 900 bottles. of which 300, 600
bottles came to the United States.
The Republic and its lessee complained
of the Saratoga Vichy Company. and
sought to restrain the use OF the word
vichy by the latter on the bottles of
water II sold, asserting the sole right to
the use OF that word. The case was heard
in the circuit court OF the northern dis
trict OF New York. and the injunction was
denied by Judge Coke.
Decision by Judge Coke.
The concluding paragraph of the opinion
makes interesting reading:
The defendants water has been known
for twenty-six years as Saratoga Vichy,
and the record shows that there has
never been an attempt to palm 1t of on
innocent buyers as the imported article.
The defendant has sold it upon its merits
as natural Saratoga water.
The two are different In appearance,
taste, and ingredients. The defendants is
sparkling water, and for several years
has been sold under a label. on which the
word Saratoga is as prominently dis
played as the word 'vlchy.'
Can Be Plainly Seen.
1T is true that there is small neck
label attached to the bottle on which the
name 'vichy' is the more prominent. but.
in view of the many other Distinguishing
characteristics. 1t seems inconceiSable
that anyone of ordinary perception can be
induced to buy the defendants water, sup
posing 1t to be the imported vichy.
AN individual stupid enough to be de-
ceived in such circumstances is beyond the
aid OF a court Of equity In this case a
writ de lunatico is more appropriate
remedy than a writ OF Injunction.
1.-The bill is dismissed"
