CHICK-CHICK-CHICKEN TO-DAY
A damage and injunction suit has been in-
stituted by M. Witmark & Sons, New York
against the W. P. Chase Candy Corp., Brook-
lyn, for infringement of the former's copyright
on the song, "Sweet Adeline," a single bar of
which has been used by the candy company on
the oiled paper wrapper on a five-cent piece
of taffy. The suit is to restrain the candy con-

cern from printing the music on its wrappers
and the Witmark firm also seeks damages of at
least $250. The copyright on "Sweet Adeline"
has been held by M. Witmark & Sons since
1903.

"Sweet Adaline," spelled with an "a" and not
an "e," but the basis for the suit is in printing bury, Mass.; Oscar Howard, 124 North Fifty-
the words, "Sweet Adaline, my heart doth third street, Philadelphia; John A. Gray, Los
pine," and in using the fragment of the music Angeles, Cal. and George Duckett, 151 North
which the Witmark attorney's contend forms Fifty-ninth street, Philadelphia.
