Death Of TWINS
LEGAL TANGLE
Concerning Disposition of Big
Estate to Son and Aunt
of Couple

CHICAGO, Mar. S1.-The death OF
Rosa and Josefa Black, the siam
csc Twins" has left the Cook u
ty court with a legal problem. which
apparently is unprecedented. In de-
termining the disposition OF the
800. 900 estate of the twins, the
court must decide ii the eleven-year-
old Franz is the son of n or or
both of the twins.
A scientific controversy which DC
gan even before the death of the
sisters Yesterday has resolved itself
info the question:: Were Rosa and
.Josefa one individual personality or
did they constitute separate entities
IL they were one personality. the
son will inherit h entire fortuhe
which was accumulated by the twins
during their exhibition tours. III they
were two distinct personalities. Rosa
being the mother and Joseta tne
aunt. only Rosa's half of the estate
would go to the lad, while Josefa $
closest relatives including her father
and four brothers would be entitled
to her half.
Physicians say there are physio-
logical facts to support each conten-
ton and attorneys agree that "A legal
opinion must be based upon a scleh-
tiic analysis of the bodies.
SO far a post norton has been OPP
posed by the brother, Frank, who is
in this city. 1t was he who proven
ted an operation before death which
physicians urged as the only posi-
BILE means of saving one of the Sis

MISS NIELSEN GIVES
REPRESENTATIONS

Miss Hortense Nielsen, a promi-
nent elocutionist of New York city.

body with an impersonation of John

the chapel yesterday. Gbe recital
laster one hour and twenty minutes
and since the students were in
tensely interested in what she was
saying it can easily be see that
she is an im-personator of no small
ability. A furthers evidence of her
finished art was the name in
which she portrayed the characters
of Nurse Custus, negro preacher:
John Hay, Lincoln's confident; Su-
Zanne. the maid; Mrs. Wilson. all of
which are extremely difficult to i'm
itate in voice and the little man
ierisms which pointed ont charac-
ter. Miss Nielsens audience had
almost no difficulty ir following the
changing of speakers although no
stage directions were given.
Her initial effort melted such
great applause that by way of an
encore. Miss Nielsen recited two
short poems. Sicily and the Bears
and the owl and the P~ussycat.'
These last selections merely n
HANGED the impression of perfect
enunciation and finished art. which
the first recitation suggested.
This program was by far the best
that has been given in the chapel
this year. 1t came as Il complete
surprise to the students and h
majority of the faculty but it was
indeed a most pleasant surprise. 1t
marked the first appearance of Miss
Nielsen in this city and 1t is hoped
that she will come again if possible.

Quit. often one of the children
would run away from the school,
back home to their parents, III in a
day or so the parents came back
WITH the child.
One little girl ran away ecaus
she didn't like those peculiar things
they slept on called beds. Another
tiny girl loved her school, teacher
and white people. One summer a
matrori at the school took TINS niue
girl East and when school opened

me about Christianity"
The girls in the school are taught
to cook and sew, while the boys are

Roboken Mayor and Com
missioneTS to be Tried Be-
fore Bergen Co. Jury

TRENTON, March 31--Supreme
Court Justice Swayze today ordered
that a Bergen county jury be
brought into hudson county to
hear the trial of certain Hoboken
citizens against Mayor Patrick r.
Griffin. and the other commissioners
OF that city who are accused or
spending the city moneys improp-
erly for the purpose of securing
their reelection to office.
They are charged with having
hired a number of men around cleo
ton time for temporary city work.
The danger of political manipula-
ton of jury, should it be made up
of Hudson county citizens, is the
reason for the ordering OF a foreign
jury. :,
"Our experience with The actual
results of efforts by the legislature
TO improve the character of jurles
admonish us of the difficulties in the
way" said Justice Swayze and 1t
make no difference in principle
whether these difficulties are caused
byi the barons of the middle ages or
a boss of the twentieth century II
there is the same danger OF lmprop-
er influence. We think, therefore,
that a satisfactory trial is not IKE
ly to be had in the county or Hud-
SON. It would be unsatisfactory to
the real plaintiffs if they lose, as
they would feel that they a not
received justice and it would be at
the same time unsatisfactory to the
defendants who would feel that q
verdict in their favor could hardly
be regarded by the PUBLIC as carry
ing the weight which otherwise
would 1t is alleged about $5'ooo
vas spent by the commissioners.
