Judge Denies Petition To Make Cohen Chamberlain.

By United Press ST. LOUIS, April 2.— Circuit Judge Max G: Baron today had denied Milton Cohen the privilege of changing his name to Chamberlain, declaring sternly that Cohen was a name to be proud of. . Cohen had decided to adopt the name of the street on which he lived. Mr. Chamberlain, he suggested, had quite a ring to it. But the Judge fixed a reproving eye on the petitioner before him. Cohen he said was an honorable name, meaning in Hebrew, “type of of priests.” And, he added, staring hard at the embarrassed man, a change of name

was not going to deceive ayyone about his appearance.

Mr. Cohen will remain Mr. Cohen.
