P. Are Near Break Relations Are Entirely Cor- dial, More So Than at Any Time in Past 25 Years. Washington, March 30.—Congress and President Harding are not at log- gerheads despite the impression created by ‘“certain writers and cer- tain newspapers” Representative Mondell, Wyoming, republican leader, declared today in a statement which he said he had prepared for delivery as an address in the house, Relations Cordial “The fact is that instead of the president and congress being at log- gerheads, as these wrilers and jour- nals would have the country believe” stated Mr. Mondell, “there never has been a time in my quarter of a cen- tury of experience in congress when the relations between the president and congress, particularly the house of representatives were more pleasant, cordial, sympathetic and harmonious than at the presenf time. “Any one who will take the trouble to read the recommendations of Pres- ident Harding to this congress from {ime to time and to examine the record of congress will find that practically all of these recommenda- tions have either been written into law or are in process of enactment and this applies particularly to the record of the house, Invites Comparison The republican leader said he in- vited comparison with any period of American history and challenged any- one to find a record of finer relations or more-harmonious co-operation’ be- tween the president and There has been a general and sub- stantial accord, he added not only on matters’ of primary importance but in the consideration of many questions of policy and detail. Declaring that there seemed to be a “systematic attempt” on the part of various newspapers and writers to create the improssion that there was friction between the executive ano republican congressional leaders. Mr. Mondell asserted that “the anti-bonus campaign of certain metropolitan newspapers has given us the finest example we have yet had as to the length to which some people are willing to go in a campaign of mis- representation.” Trying to Cause Trouble Efforts are also being made, Mr, Mondell declared, to make it appear (Continued on Twelfth Page). COSTELLA FINED FOR DRIVING RECKLESSLY Real Estate Man Pays $35— Court Finds Madrak Not Guilty of Theft John J. Costella, a real estate sales- man, was fined $35 and costs on charges of reckless driving, and found not guilty of operating a motor vehi- cle while under the influence of liquor by Judge George W. Klett in police court today. Costella figured in an ac- cident on Stanley street, last Sunday night. Several other cases occupied the at- tention of the court at this morning's session, which was one of the length- iest in several weeks. Peter Sawick was charged with as- saulting George Nelson. He was ar- rested Tuesday night at the corner of Main and Lafayette streets by Police- man Michael Massey. Mrs. Stella Sawick, wife of the ac- cused, said her husband objected to her going to work at 5 o'clock in the morning. He started a row on Main street. He reached into his pocket ostensibly to draw a gun and when he did so, the witness screamed, calling attention of Nelson. Nelson ran to the woman's assist- ance and as Sawick raised what prov- ed to be a rock done up in a hand- kerchief, Nelson got in the way and was struck. He struck back. John P. Maguire who witnessed the occur- rence held Sawick uptil the policeman arrived. Sawick said he was talking to his wife when Nelson came over and struck him. He then hit back with the stone. He was fined $15. In the case of Frank Madrak, charged with theft at Frank Barber's store on lafayetle street, February 22, Judge Klett stated that he had made a personal investigation of the «libl presented. Since there is grave doubt, the court feit justified in grant- ing a discharge. He cautioned Madrak that he has been ‘“sailing close to the wind” and warned him to go straight.

Josefa's death occurred first and wis followed in a few seconds by the death of her sister. Physiclans had declared early in the night that in the event of the death of one of the sis- ters the other would die quickly, their brother, Frank, Blazek, had fused to permit an operation which would sever their bodie The twins had been in the hospital ten da Josefn, was ill with Jaundice and that was follow pneumonia. Shortly before her d Rosa was afflicted with bronchitis. Wouldn't Permit Operation, Preparations had been made for the severing operafion and the phy. sicians were ready to make cvery fort to save the life of at least one of the women. Hope of saving the life of Josefa was abandoned af midnight, according to Dr. B, H. Breakstone, chief of the surgical staff at the hospital. “I tried to get the consent of the brother to operate to save the life of Rosa, but he refused to give his permission,” he added. Dr. Breakstone explained that a delicate operation would have bheen necessary, RBefore their death he had expressed the opinion that the ph iological affinity of the twins was so vital that if one should die the other might also succumb before the band of flesh and bone that joined them could be severed Very Delicate Operation, Altwstah the twins possessed gep- arate respiratory and cardiac systems, Dr. RBreakstone explained that they had only one set of secondary diges- tive and procreative organs. The op- eration, he said, would have necessi- tated the building up of a part of the digestive and other essential organs to save the life of one twin. One Twin Was Married. Rosa was once married, her being Rosa Blazek Dvors She is survived by a normal 11 year old boy. Her hushand was a captain in the German army and was Killed in action in 1017, She was married 15 years ago. Josefa never married.

The father is & said to he alive, his age being 85 years. The mother died a year ago, at the age of 65 years. Died Intestate During a tour of the world the twins acquired considerable wealfh. They died without making a will al- though their attorney, J. A. Triska has been at the hospital several days in the hope that they would be in condi- tion to dictate the document. As the women grew weaker last night physicians pleaded with the brother to permit an operation, hospi- tal attendants stated. He was the only adult relative capable under the Il- linois law of giving his consent. Brother Steadfastly Refuses. “No" the brother was quoted having said. “No, not even if lives for hours after Josefa' There shall be no operati Two hours past nn(llllgh( Dr Breakstone said there was no need of prolonging the argument with the Lrother. “It is useless” he said. “The con- dition of cach is now the same—the condition that forccasts certain death. An operation now would do no good.” The two patients have had a grad- ual decline according to the chart which hung in their sickroom. The physicians said the women re- acted differently to the same medicine although their illness recently has been of the same nature. The Real “Siamese Twins Medical records recalled by physi- cians who have been interested in the case disclose a number of so-called Siamese twins, The original Siamese twins, Chang and Ing, lived to the age of 64. They married sisters and Chang had six children ard Eng five, all of them normal. kEng died first first and a surgeon separated them. Chang died soon after. Other Famous Twins, Twins that have attracted world- widé fame include the Hindu sisters, who were joined face to face, the con- nection being at the chest; the New- port twins somewhat similar to the Hindu twins; the Orissa sisters, Rad- dica and Dodnica joined side to side; the Biddenden maids connected shoulder to shoulder with only two arms; the Hungarian sisters, Helen and Judith, joined back to back at the lower segment of the spine and the North Carolina sisters, Millie and Christine, joined as were the Hungar- ian sisters, and the Bohemian twins, Roselia and Josepha, connected in the same manner as the twins who just died.
