IGNORE COLOR ISSUE
COURT GRANTS INJUNCTION IN
CASE AFFECTING ELKS.
Special DISPATCH to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, July 1s.-A
decision Of much importance to several
hundred thousand Elks in the United
States was handed down today by Su-
preme Court Justice Joseph Morschauser.
An action was recently brought in the
supreme court by the Benevolent and
Protective Order Of Elks to enjoin the use
of their title or a colorado imitation
thereof by the Improved Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks OF the World and
the Grand Lodge Of the Improved Benevo-
lent and Protective Order of Elks Of the
World. The defendant has no limitation
to the color of the individual seeking
membership, but it is formed mostly Of
colored people. while to become member
of the plaintiff order one must be white
person.
The case vas argued before Justice
Morschauser. who grants the relief
asked for. The court ignores the issue
of color, if there is one, and establishes
a rule which If maintained by the hlgher
court will be important to all fraternal
orders.
Barred by Laws Of 1890.
Judge Morschauser finds that the de-
PENDANTS are barred from incorporation
under the name and title used by section
f. of chapter 563. laws of 1880. which
prescribes that no certificate of a proposed
corporation shall be filed or recorded
having the same name as an existing do
nestle corporation or a name so nearly
resembling it as to be calculated to de-
ceive.
The judgment is that in furtherance OF
justice the plaintiff is entitled to the re-
lief asked for in the complaint, with
costs. The effect of the decision is to
extend to fraternal orders the rule APP
piled to the use of a corporate name In
cases of a commercial or trading char
acter.
The court holds that it is not necessary
that actual deception should be shown.
The liability to deception is sufficient.
In the case under consideration, it is re-
lated in the opinion that defendants seem
to have practically appropriated the
name. title, seal, card. emblem and colors
and nearly everything else used by the
plaintiff in conducting its corporation
affairs.
The use of the elk head as an emblem
was particularly objected to by the plain
tiff, and this comes within the scope Of
the injunction granted by the court.
