Bayes, with her inimitable foolery
and clean fun, her admirable imitations
and clever and witty songs, became
in a very short time one of
the greatest favorites on the American
stage, and she continues to hold j
the attention as well as the admira- 1
tion of her audiences, through sheer
talent.
"Miss Bayes is the life of every j
production with which she is connected,
and gives a zest to every moment
she is on the stage."

DEATH CLAIMS SIAMESE TWINS.
End Comes for Both at Nearly the
Same Time.
Chicago, March 30.?Josefa and
Rosa Blazek, the "Siamese twins,"
died at a hospital early this morning.
Josefa's death occurred first and was
followed in a few seconds by the
death of her sister. Physicians had
declared early in the night that in
the event of the death of one of the
sisters the other would die quickly
as their brother, Frank Blazek, had
refused an operation which would
sever their bodies.
The twins had been in the hospital
ten days. Josefa was ill with yellow
jaundice and that was followed by
pneumonia. Shortly before her death
Rosa was afflicted with bronchitis.
Preparations had been made for the
separation operation and physicians
were ready to make every effort to
save the life of at least one of the
women.
Hope of saving the life of Josefa
was abandoned at 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,"
added the physician.
Dr. Breakstone explained that a
delicate operation would have been
necessary. Before their death he had
expressed the opinion that the physiological
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 joins
them could be severed.
Although the twins possessed separate
respiratory and cardiac systems,
Dr. Breakstone explained that
they had only one set of secondary
digestive and procreative organs.
The operation, he said, would have
necessitated the building up of a
part of the digestive and other essential
organs to save the life of
one twin.
Rosa was once married, her name

being Rosa Blazek Dvorak. She is J
survived by a normal 11 year old 1
boy. Her husband was a captain in 1
the German army and was killed in (
i action in 1917. She was married 15 i
i years ago. Josefa never married. 1
The little son, Franz, has been at s
the bedside of his mother, who, until <
i within the last few hours was less t
critically ill than Josefa. 1
i The twins wen; the second offspring 1
of a normal percentage in Czechoi
Slovakia, 42 years ago. There were
four other children, all norma! and <
all still living. The father is also i
alive, his age being 85 years. The ^
mother died a year ago at the age of i
65 years. 9 i
During the tour of the world the "
twins acquired considerable wealth.
They died without making a will,
although their attorney, J. L. Triska, J
has hppn at thp hosDital several days
in the hope that they would be in *
condition to dictate the document.
As the women grew weaker the c
last night physicians pleaded with the (
brother to permit an operation, hos- *
pital attendants stated. He was the
only adult relative capable under the J
Illinois law of giving his consent. .
"No," the brother was quoted as hav- '
ing said, "no, not even if Rosa lives i1
for hours after Josefa's death. There
shall be no operation."
Appeal to Brother.
Dr. J. Otragovec, personal physician
of the t\<-ins, appealed to the
brother without success. Their attorney
was asked to intervene, but he
declined to assume responsibility. t
Two hours past midnight Dr. Break- c
stone said there was not need of pro- *
longing the argument with the
brother. t
"It is useless," he said. "The con- I
dition of each is now the same?the *
condition that forecasts certain death. e
An operation now would do no good." j
The two patients had had a gradual e
decline, according to the chart which s
hung in their sick room. The figures *
on this chart showed the following: c

The physicians said the women re- i
acted differently to the same medi- r
! cine although their illness recently
j has been of the same nature.
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 Eng, lived to the
age of 64. They married sisters and
Chang had six children and Eng five,
all of them normal. Eng died first <
and a surgeon separated them. Chang
died soon after.
Twins that have attracted world- 4
wide fame include the Hindu sisters,
who were joined face to face, the con- jj
nection being at the chest, the New- e
port twins, somewhat similar to the j
Hindu twins; the Orissa sisters, Raddica
and Doddica, joined side to side; a
the Biddenden maids, connected shoulder
to shoulder with only two arms; |
