FILL TRADE MARK INITIATED.
Druggist and Clerk Are Held in Bail
for COurt


Charged with infringing upon the trade
mark Of Carter's Little Liver Pill Com
pany, Joseph L. Griffith, druggist at the
southeast corner of Eleventh and Vine
streets, was held in $500 bail for Court
this afternoon by Magistrate Jermon, and
at the same time Griffiths clerk, Joseph
G. Fore, was held in $500 bail for Court on
the same charge, and also for selling GER
tam articles the sale of which is prohibited
by law.
The men were arrested this morning
upon warrants issued by Magistrate Jer-
mon at the instance of Brent Good, No.
100 West Fifty-seventh Street, New York,
and Charles G. Orcutt, No. II Jumel Ter
race, New York, representatives Of the
Carter Company. They stated thaA the
latter had spent $3,000,000 in advertising
and getting their label known, and did not
purpose to permit Others to reap the bene-
6ts.
The label in question is small one con:
tanning large letter L, and the one used
by Griffith is an exact copy, except that 1t
does not contain Carter's name.
The prosecution showed how easily the
imitation product could be palmed off on
the would,be purchaser of Carriers pills,
owing to the similarity of the labels, and
held that it was evidence of deliberate
attempt to deceive.-Philadelphi Tele-
