The plaintift 1s tho Internati- onal Trust Company of Boston, and the defendant is the International Loan and Trust Company of Kansas City. The plain- tiff docs a general bavking business. The defendant does not, but issues debenture bonds secured by first mortgages on im- proved real estate in towns and citics of western Missouri, eustern Kansas, eastern Nebraska and ' northern and = central Texas, The defendant previous to August last was called the National Loan and Trust company, but as the word ‘“‘national” was found to conflict with the national banking law, it was changed to “Iniernational Loau and I'rust company,” and strenuous objec- tion is made to changing again becanse of the expense of re-engraving the bond plates and ecause of the confusion which unavoidably results to bolders of the compauy's bouds, more than ten thousand of whom are in New England, includiug over one bundred and fifty representatives of banks and banking institutions. It is also objected by the de- fendant that no harm can_result to the plantiff from the use by defendant of its present name, inasmuch as the latter does not do a banking business in Boston, but keeps its office here for the purpose of selling bonds, The defendant is ono of the most favorably known of tho mortgage companics doing business i the east, and its paid up capital is $1,000,000.
