TIE BALTIMORE VERSION A DIFFERENT THING
FROM MCACLL's.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 1.-The hearing of the ap-
plcaon of John A. McCaul for injunction against

OF "The Beggar Student" before Judge Fisher in the
Circuit Court, is attracting much public interest, due 10
the exposure of how operas OF the present day
featured 10 order. As both the Ford and the McCau
travelling companies, the is considered
case.
To-day the defence abandoned their policy Of contest
ng the right OF McCau 70 the Tna opera and adopted
the defence tnat their production is only "The
Student" IN Charles +. Ford said he purchased
libretto from Kressig IN NewYork, from which the
play was originally produced; but
he heard the same tho sole property
of McCauu, he had 1t changed. W. W, Furst
bis musical director stated that he made the orchestra
ZION frUin German piano of the opera. which
sold publicly while the i1snal 1breO only IN
uscript In doing he violated law. The dialogues
belonged TO the original opera hut we're made up
from The Lady OF Lyons So his version opera only
resembles McCaurs production ia and music. The
defence will finish tomorrow.
Mr. Ford stated tonight that hc believed the Court
might prevent them fron publishing prnedlibrctO tut
the production OF the opera would not be nterfered with
as was no infringe Of MeCauiis rights. This III
