SALVATION ARMY GAINS BIG
ADVANTAGE OVER ITS RIVAL
Supreme Court Of New York Decides
That Rival Organization, The
American Salvation Army"
Initiates Methods.

The fight that has Waged between
the salvation Army and the Amer
lean salvation Army" for the past
fourteen years has reached a point
where the former promises % gain
big advantage over its rival Adia-
tant Farmhouse. Of. the Calumet
branch is advised that Eve judges sit
ting in the first department of the APP
RELATE division OF the supreme court
If New York state, before whom the
army appealed the decision Of Justice
O'Gorman in the so-calied American
Salvation Army" case, has rendered 4
decision that the judgment appealed
from should be reversed. and a new
trial ordered
The American army adopted every
successful method that the old army
used in conducting its work, and il rs
said that in many cases misroprescn-
tations have been resorted 10 by OFF,
GERS and others connected with the or
gunization, IN securing financial aid.
Three representatives Of the American
salvation Army visited Calumet
about a year ago. They solicite'
funds. and after completing their COZ
lections left here. giving no account
Of the manner in which the money
was used. Representatives Of the or
ganization are expected here soon on
another collecting tour.
The case just decided in favor of the
salvation Army came before the JUS
tices al the December term in New
York state. The first action against
the American salvation Army by the
original organization was started |
three years ago. Some months ago
he Salvation Army appealed for an
Injunction 10 restrain the American
Army from using its name, |
Uniform. publications. etc. Justice
O'Gorman. before whom the case was
argued. decided adversely 10 the army |
As the judges strongly recommend
I'd the army's right To the judgment
L Is expected that the officers OF the
will take immediate steps |
or the hearing Of new trial. II is
claimed that the new organization has
,een injuring the original army con-
i3crably during the past few years.
II would seem. from the following |
paragraphs, from the decision handed |
Town by the judges in the supreme /
.ourt, that the American Salvation
Army has very little ground to stand
~.
1T is so clear as to hardly justify
discussion that the purpose of the de-
endant in assuming the name 'Ameri-
an Salvation Army for it's organiZa-
ion and American War Cry for its
,aper and it's adoption OF the mill
AIRY titles and uniforms and its whole
cheme Of procedure was 10 take adj
.antage Of the long established and
public knowledge of the
salvation Army and to receive for 1t
elf whatever benefit might flow
herefrom. While it's object in organ
zing may have been entirely laudable,
Is assumption of the physical attri-
,utes OF its predecessor in the field.
With slight and colorado differences,
vas obviously an imitation, and call
ulated If not deliberately designed,
o deceive.
1--WE think there are enough findings !
+ fact in the decision Of the special
ERIN TO establish plaintiffs right to
judgment, and that inconsistent
.ndings i'm favor Of the defendant are
lot supported by the evidence. 1t fol-
ows, therefore, that the judgment APP
,ealed from should be reversed and 4
lew trial ordered, with costs TO the |
appellant to abide the event"
