VIENNA, April 26, 1912
The following details have reached
Vienna of an attack by brigands on the
German and Austrian mail coaches run
ming between Jaffa and Jerusalem. These
had started as usual, each drawn by
three horses, Friday afternoon. There
was bright moon when the night fell,
and when the coaches approached the
Arabian village of Sarafant shots were
fired at both vehicles. The driver of the
German mail whipped up his horses to a
however. was wounded and fell dead a
quarter of a mile farther on. but the
driver cut the traces and pursued his
way with the other horses.
The Austrian post was less lucky The
kavass, who was sitting beside the driver,
was hit by four bullets and instantly
killed; two horses fell and the third was
badly famed. The driver sprang from
his box and escaped in the darkness. A
patrol of four gendarmes had, however,
heard the firing and came up when the
brigands were going through the mail
packets. The latter opened fire on the
gendarmes. killed one of them, and man
aged TO escape themselves, cai lying a
number of packets with them. Their
booty is, however, believed only to
amount to 800 in money.
The mail coaches will in future leave
Jaffa in the morning instead of the even
ing, and each will be accompanied by
two gendarmes on horseback.

ZURICH, April 20, 1912.
A sensational affair similar in some
circumstances 10 the motor-car crimes in
and around Paris, is occupying the at
tention of the Lausanne police.
wealthy Swiss merchant received a letter
demanding that a large sum OF money
should be brought to a certain place and
threatening TO murder him IL he refused

police and trap was set.
a servant of the merchant, carrying a
packet of blank and worthless paper,
made his way TO the appointed place-a
railway station where an express train
stops for short time. When this par
ticular train arrived, "A woman dashed
out OF a first-class compartment, snatched
the packet from the servants hands and
re-entered the train.
The train, which usually starts away
from the station within a few minutes OF
its arrival, was delayed by arrange
ment. and the detectives entered the car
riage to arrest the woman. They found
the compartment quite empty, with the
door on the side farthest from the plat
form wide open, and they were just m
time to have an uninterrupted view of the
woman entering a waiting motor car
The car. which contained three men, was
soon racing away out of sight of the de-
tectives, who were forced to abandon the
chase.

Theft Invalidates Will.

The Austrian court Of appeals has de-
clared the will of a landowner Frau
Rosalie Mayer invalid because one of the
three witnesses was convicted of theft
thirty-two years ago. This decision has
caused the demand to be raised that the
Austrian law, which renders criminals"
incapable of attesting wills, should be
modified by the enactment of some time
limit as otherwise it will be impossible
for any one to be sure about the validity
of his will unless he knows the whole
life history of all the three witnesses who
are necessary in this country.

FOR WORK ON FARM
Services of TyroIese Sold for
Season to Highest Bidder

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
VIENNA, April ..
There are not many tourists at Fried
richshafen, on the Lake of Constance, at
Easter time, but a few, nevertheless. who
happened to be passing through witnessed
a strange scene in the chief square, which
resembled an Arab slave market in AZ
RIGA. This was the yearly market of
Tyrolese children-125 boys and 30
girls between the ages of eleven and six
teen-who had arrived that morning in
a special steamer. under the care of
Roman Catholic priest. and were standing
huddled together in front of the Golden
Wheel Inn waiting to be sold to the high
est bidder for the seasons farm work.
Purchasers were not lacking, for 6O
peasant farmers from Baden, Wurttem-
burg, and Bavaria had come to get child
slaves to work on their farms, and these
behaved exactly as at the cattle market,
scrutinizing the boys and girls. some
times feeling their biceps, and then max
ing an offer to the priest.
Owing to the demand this year being
so much greater than the supply, the
prices ruled high, $3.50 being given for
sturdy lad of sixteen, big enough TO
WELD the hay fork or scythe effectively,
while $50 was given for one of the older
girls who looked as if she could do
long days wedding in the sun.
Some Bring Only $12.5O.
On the other hand, $3.50 was con-
sidered enough for little, underfed mites
of eleven who ought to have been at
school, and who probably will be used
for nothing more severe than watching
focks of geese and driving cattle out and
home at milking time.

dren's parents, landfess men in the re-
moter valleys of Tyrol, woodsmen and
the like, who are said to be driven by
sheer restitution to send their children
to work for strangers in a foreign coun-
try. The child slaves are sent home at
the end of October-all, that is, but some
who succumb to overwork, ill-treatment
and inconsistencies. That the children are
not always well treated is proved by the
fact that the priest this year brought
with him a blacklist of dozen farmers
who are to get no more children, but it
is satisfactory. at least, to find lat
there is some kind of control exercised.
The whole business of the child-market,
which is of great antiquity, is now ar
ranged by a clerical society named the
Turoler Hutekinder-Verein, the activity
of which is violently attacked by part of
the local press, which demands its sup
preston.

M|SERLY AUSTRIAN GIVES
HIS RICHES FOR HOSPITAL
0ctogenarian, Thrifty From
Early Childhood, Leaves
Great Fortune.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.


VIENNA, April -, 1912.
Vienna's charitable Institutions are to
be increased by new children's hospital,
to be erected at cost of two and half
million crowns, beaueathed for the pur-
pose by Josef Spitzberger, who died re-
Gently at the age of lightweight years.
This fortune was accumulated by life
OF hard work. accompanied by the sever
est self-privation.
Spitzberger was for many years head
cashier of a large flour milling concern
in Austria. He seems to have been born
thrifty, for at a very early age he gave
up taking sugar in his coffee, and per-
suaded his parents to give him the few
pennies saved in this way to put in his
savings bank. And he began. SO he
continued throughout his long life, con-
tenting himself with the barest necessi-
ties. Every penny he could save went
into the bank.
Mended Own Clothes.
For many years he lived in a small
miserable room in poor street in the
suburbs of Vienna. The room had neither
stove nor light. To keep warm when he
was not at business Spitzberger visited
the museums and art galleries. and TO
save the expense of light he went to bed
when IL grew dark He mended his own
clothes. and his whole wardrobe con-
sisted only of one suit and one shirt.
During his last years he lived literally
on dry bread and tea made fresh only
once a week. He drank this decoction
without sugar.
Spitzberger was a frequent visitor on
the bourse, and made a good deal of
money in lucky speculations. He was in
terested in public affairs, but never
bought a newspaper, going at $50 every
morning to read the sheets posted out
side the offices of the journals.
To all the remonStrances of his friends
he replied: Your pleasure is to spend
mine to save Leave me my pleasure, 1t
is all for a good -urpose.
Sptzberger never married, and, with
the exception of some small legacies to
relatives, has left his whole fortune for
the childrens hospital.
