Grand Lodge Knights Of Pythias OF

a jury in Judge Pendleton's division OF

The application for injunction fol-
lowed the fling OF an application for a

PENDANTS several months ago. Il was
alleged by the plaintiffs that the name
chosen for the organization is almost
Identical with the name used by the
plaintiffs. that the insignia, designs,
etc. used by the defendants are the
same, and that the entire organization
IS so closely modelled after the organi-

il amounts 70 a deception and fraud

was carried 20 the supreme court Il
was sent back by the higher court upon
the ground that Judge PendlstOH should
