were increasing rapidly. In some

taxes and of not being obliged to
send conscripts to the Turkish
army.
Every Albanian is travelling

knives. He is usually at vendetta
with someone and usually dies
with boots on. The Turks are a
good deal afraid of them and
never enter their country if they
can help it.
Just north of Albania are about
a million Servians in district
called Old Servia, who are still
under Turkish rule. While both
Greece and Bulgaria are trying to
get Macedonia, Servia is maneu-

Old Servia. The government at
Belgrade has for years made
great efforts to get children from
Old Servia into Servian schools,
so that the next generation might
be educated up to the point of
throwing off the Turkish yoke.

themselves? There is no doubt
that they are a decadent race. If

NEW YORK. December 26.-The Church

street, was crowded with worshipers at
o'clock mass yesterday morning, the day
of all days in the church calendar, and
the priest who had charge of the serv-
ices, Father Joseph, was walking up the
west aisle with the collection plate when
thing so amazing happened that men,
bers of the congregation could hardly be-

When the priest had almost finished
with the collection a woman who had
been kneeling in pew near the front of
the church suddenly sprang to her feet,
struggled past persons nearer the aisle,
thrust her hand into the collection plate
carried by the priest, seized several en-
velopes containing money and turned to
flee.

MRS. GERHARD FILES SUIT
TO BREAK SPOUSE'S WILL
Former Actress, Who Spent
Christmas Here, Seeks
Share in Estate.

NEW YORK, n. Y, December 25.-Mrs.
Marie Wilson Gerhard, who was secretly
married to Frederick Gerhard, has filed
in the supreme court an action to break
his will.
She was ignored in the will and soon
after her husbands death. in Septem-
Der. 1910, it was intimated that she would
make a fight to have ii set aside. She
has now instructed Osborne. Lamb &
Garvin. her attorneys, to bring the action
and has filed a bond with the county
clerk.
The complaint alleges that Gerhard
was incompetent to make a will in 1905.
when he executed the testament in ques-
ton. and that he was unduly influenced
A peculiar feature of the contest is that
the will in question was made prior to the
marriage of Gebhard with the con-
testant. Under the law a will made
prior to marriage is invalidated auto
matically only when child is born of the
marriage.
Defendants in Contest.
The defendants in the will contest are
Mrs. Marie Isabel Nelson, sister of the
decedent and mother-in-law of Reginald
Vanderbilt; Mary Elizabeth Hunnewell. a
niece. and Jules Blanc Nelson. nephew.
Mrs Nelson, who lives at the Plaza
Hotel, is sued individually and as
executrix of the will.
Mr.. Gerhard inherited fortune from
his father, Frederick Gerhard. in 1866.
For thirty years the son was famous as
a boulevardier. He had an income of
100000 annually a private car. blooded
horses and dogs. a yacht and all the 9TH
er llIxuries of a rich man. He was a
member of such exclusive clubs as the
Union. Brook. Metropolitan. Knicker-
booker, New York Yacht and Racquet.
Married and Divorced.
Twenty years ago he married Miss
Louise Holingsworth Morris OF Balti-
more.
Seven years later she divorced him. She
later became Mrs. Henry Clews. jr.
In 1906 it was learned that Gerhard had
married Marie Wilson, one Of the original
F7orodora sextet girls. Their separation
was reported later. but prior to the last
Illness Of Gerhard his wife went to him
and nursed him. She was with him when
he died.
His will, made prior to the last mar
riage. divided his estate among Mrs. Mel
son. his sister and his nephew and niece.
He left no real estate. His personal prop
erty and interest In trust fund have
been estimated at about $163, 900.
