In 1917, Alice Smyth Burton Jay [[Lawsuit|sued]] song publishers [[Chappell & Co.]] for $100,000, alleging she wrote the tune in 1908 for a song played at the [[Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition]] promoting the Washington apple industry. The chorus began "I'm on my way to [[Yakima, Washington|Yakima]]".<ref>"'Tipperary'" Tune Stolen, She Says. Boston Daily Globe, 20 September 1917, p. 16</ref> The court appointed [[Victor Herbert]] to act as expert advisor<ref>"Victor Herbert Is 'Tipperary' Expert," The New York Times, 27 September 1917, p. 10</ref> and dismissed the suit in 1920, since the authors of "Tipperary" had never been to [[Seattle]] and Victor Herbert testified the two songs were not similar enough to suggest [[plagiarism]].<ref>"Loses 'Tipperary' Suit."
