Chicago, March 31.-The death
Of Rosa and Josefa Black, this
'-Siamese Twins" has left the Cook
county probate court with legal
problem which apparently is un-
precedented. In determining the
disposition of the 100000 estate OF
the twins, the court must decide If
12-year-old Franz is the son of one
or of both of the twins.
A scientific controversy which
began even before the death of the
sisters early yesterday has resolved
itself into the question:
Were Rosa and Josefa Black
one individual personality. or did
they constitute separate entities?
If they were one personality, the
son will inherit the entire fortune,
which was accumulated by the
twins during their exhibition tours
Of the world. If they were two dis
tinct personalities, Rosa being the
mother and Josefa the aunt, only
Rosa's half of the estate would go

father and four brothers, would be
entitled to her half.

Officials Believe Mine Tie.
up Will Be Finish
Fight.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Washington, ID. c. March 81
The coal strike is to be fight to the
finish Government officials feel
that they are powerless to do any
thing effective at this time and be-
lieve il will be a month or two be-
fore either side will be willing to
listen to counsel
Both President Harding and
Secretary Davis have been trying
for some time to get both sides to-
gether but when each is convinced
il has something to gain by a
strike. the efforts of a mediator are
bound to be futile. Secretary of
Labor Davis pointed out to this
correspondent today that % weeks
elapsed in 1902 before President
Roosevelt was able to bring the
last big coal strike to an end. The
strike in 1919 was of six weeks
durance and was really terminated
by the use of a wartime law in
volving the application of injunc-
tions. The government is in no
mood to resort to such process
now.
Exhaustion by one side or the
other is. inevitable in the opinion
of government officials. There's a
surplus of $1,000, 900 tons of bitum-
nous and 10000, 900 tons of anthra-
cite coal just now When that's
used up by the consumer, the cri-
sis in the strike will be reached.
The issues involved in the pres
ent strike situation are fundamen-
tai. They are typical of other la
Dor troubles of the after-the-war
period, perhaps more closely anal
ogous to the difficulties on the
railroads than anywhere else.
Why Men Are Striking.
To the layman who does not fol-
low the inside controversies of the
coal miners, except when an acute
situation presents itself, certain
facts are essential to an under
standing of what is about to hap
pen. There is what is known in
coal parlance the central competi-
tive field, which comprises Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio. and Pennsylvania.
For years it has been the custom in
the coal world to have wages fixed
in the central competitive field as
a basis for wage scales fixed Dy
mine operators and miners dis
ricts outside of that field. The
operators want to break up that
system They insist that every
district should be free to make its
own wage scales. The miners
union, of course, opposes that and
wants the central field system re-
tained. The only new factor in
the situation is that the Illinois
miners are ready to break away
from the central competitive field
and make their own agreements
with operators. This situation has
relationship incidentally to coal
union politics. The president oi
the illinois miners is Frank Far
rington, bitter foe of John Lewis
president of the international Mine
Workers union 1t is Harrington
who is credited with having forced
Lewis to declare a strike in 1915
and on this occasion harrington is

The trial of Arthur c. Burch,
charged with the killing of J. Bel
ton Kennedy, will be resumed this
afternoon. having been adjourned
yesterday until that time at the
request of defense attorneys. The
latter said they would present affi-
davits setting forth their grounds

allegation that prospective jurors
had been tampered with was denied
yesterday by Judge Sidney n.
Reeve.
A motion to subpoena District
Attorney Thomas Lee WoOlwine
and other persons who might have
information concerning alleged at
tempts to investigate jurors, was
included in the challenge.
Paul W Schenck, chief defense
attorney, announced today he would
not call Mrs. Madalynne Oben-
chain as a witness for Burch. Mrs.
Obenchain, jointly indicted with
Burch, took the stand in her be
half during her recent trial, which
ended in jury disagreement.

was signed by Judge McDermott,
and Judge John Crawford, while
Presiding Judge Higgins did not
concur.

the opinion, declared that the pur-
pose of the order was. the protec-
tion of the public
Judge Higgins declared that the

Consolidated Press Correspondent
Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, March 81. - While
earnest souls are wondering what
to do about the small salaries cler-
gymen are getting. the clergymen
around New York have decided the
matter for themselves. They have
become floorwalkers in New York
department stores.
News that Rev. DR.. Daniel Ram
sey has taken job as a floor
walker in Macy's, on Broadway,
right in the middle of the shopping
district, created a furore every
where except in Macy's. The idea
of a clergyman directing ladies to-
ward the hosiery, knickers and
breakfast coats was nothing new in
the Macy career. The big depart
ment store has three ministers
among its employees now instead of
two.
AS matter of fact, the number
of clergymen employed as floor
walkers or in some other capacity
by New York department stores is
estimated by one of the Fifth ave-
nue. shop managers as between 10
and 20.
IAN Honest Living"
Sometimes the minister's con-
gregation is not aware of his COM
mercial occupation he said
though in many instances the con-
gregations being small and unable
to pay a living salary, know and
approve their pastors work in de-
partment stores. And, after all
why not? Many clergymen in small
towns outside this city are totally
unable to make both ends meet on
the meagre salary their churches
allow They must do something
They cannot all write books. Why
not become fioorwalkers? 1t is an
honest living.
The ideal f1oorwalker needs te
be a saint, anyway. He must pre-
sent a gentlemanly appearance He
must keep his temper in spite OF
hourly vexations and naggings- E
