.cHARLErs AUNT AND UNCLE.
Judge MoAdam Thinks They Can
Easily Be Distinguished
He Says an Owl and IL Cat, for Adj

Judge McAdam, OF the Superior Court,
this morning heard arguments on the
motion OF Lawyer w. NJ. Rosebault,
counsel for Charles Frohman. for an
Injunction restraining Arthur Miller
from producing at the Bijou Theatre,
next week, a play called "Charley's
Uncle"
Mr.. Frohman's counsel argued that the
name Of the play had been changed from
"a Noble Art" to "Charley's Uncle" be-
cause of the success OF 'Charlcy's
Aunt" which Mr.. Frohman had pro-
ducel. The titles. the lawyer held. were
so similar that people would be con

Lawyer Thompson. counsel for MIR.
Miller, manager of the ''Charley's I'm

the play had been changed because of
the success of .Charley's Aunt" but
because the title "Charley's Uncle"
suggested the story Of the, play.
When MIR. R~osebault. replying, Insist
ed that the titles were 80 similar that
the public would be confused. Judge
McAdam said:

The schools boys and girls OF New

interest In the annual celebration Of
Arbor Day as II they lived out In the
country and were surrounded by the
green fields and woods blooming with
Wild flowers. Although they cannot
plant trees or indulge in the o~ut-of-door
ceremonies which make the day so sug-
gestive and full OF interest to the chill
dren of the villages and country towns
OF the state. their minds are perhaps
all the more deeply impressed with the
significance OF exercises in which they
are participating indoors.
II IL true that In the upper part OF the
city, across the Harlem. River, where
to be seen. the planting OF trees forms
a part OF the programme OF the day
In the public schools.

ing more and more important every

erni Observance Of the law.

decked out with flowers and ornamental
shrubs to-day, most of these the gifts
Of the children themselves. and a larger
part of the session will be given up to
the special exercises arranged FOR the
occasion. or curse. In some OF the
schools the decorations are more hand
some than In others. and the programme
more elaborate. but In all something Is

tive parb.
A special pamphlet has been issued by

girls Of the public schools. written by
Mrs Frances Theodore Dana, in which
she tells them 10 interest themselves in
making collections for flowers and the
best means of arranging their. spect-
mems and leaving thelr names. This will
be read In many OF the schools to-day.
There Ia also an interesting letter from
State Supt ROCKER. and several arti-
cles on plants. flowers and leaves. with
numerous selections OF poetry appropri-
ate to Arbor Day, and which may be
read to M out the programme. i.
