ported that a survey of the parent
age of the girl for five generations

VIRGINIA IS
LOSE LA,E In
APPEAL COURT

CHARLESTON, w. Va.-The U.
S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied a
petition for rehearing to the Virginia
Elks who withdrew from the national
order two years ago, and attempted
to set up an independent body under
the same name.
By this decision the Grand I'm
proved, Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks of the World has the
exclusive right to use its name. The
court said in passing upon the ques-
ton:
Coming to the merits it is well
established that benevolent, fra
ternal, or social organization, will be
protected in the use of its name by
Injunction, restraining another or
ganization from using the same or a
name so similar as to be misleading"
And the court, continuing, then
summed up its decision in the fol
lowing language:
"The case before us comes to this
Complainant, under the name very
similar to that of white fraternal
order, has built up fraternal order
among colored people, which has &C.
quired large membership and Q
splendid reputation among the peo-
pie from whom it solicits members
The individual defendants have with
drawn from the order and by the
use of its name seek to secure fol
the new order which they have in
corporated the benefit of its repu
tation and standing. This we thinl
is fraud upon the original ordel
and upon the public, which cour
