Two suits against Olga M. Shanley, executrix on the $300O,0 ,0O0 estate Of J.. Roosevelt Shanley, formerly of Stamford, were filed today in the su- perior court. Each action is for s6oo,- 900 damages. James Roosevelt Shan ley, IT,, Julia D. Shanley. and Robert A. Shanley are the plaintiffs in one action.
 They claim that before his death Shanley, who was their father made a contract with his wife whereby he was to set aside trust fund of $5OO,- 900 from which the children were to get the income from one third of the amount. It Is alleged that Shanley did not make this provision in his will and when the claim was made, against the estate, the executrix disalfowed it.
 Adele Bucknam of Greenwich brings the second suit She was the wife of J. Roosevelt Shanley, but they were divorced June 19. 1906.

Vinuoso One
 Of Those Fined
 In Court Today

The ins and outs of a Hungarian card game were discussed at great length before Judge Foster in the city court this morning in the case of ant at 249 Spruce street, and four others arrested in his place Saturday night when the place was raided for gambling by Police Sergeant Arthur PrOut and a squad.
 One of those arrested in the raid was Kalmer Horvath, the famous cymbalo player, pride of all the Hun garian speaking residents of the city and for several years the mainstay and prop of Freylers Hungarian or chestra. MT. Horvath is a virtuoso on that peculiar Hungarian instru- this country as accompanist to the famous gypsy violinist Rigo, who married the Princess Chimay.
 Whether or not the game was one was the mooted point. Attorney Charles Shapiro for the defence call ed witness after witness to testify that the game in question is seldom played for money. It is a game in which the players are gradually eli ssstuck,' for the drinks or whatever stake may be up.
 Judge Foster found the accused and all the frequenters guilty. He Acknowledged that it was a small game but said that a small game in this locality is as bad as g. big one somewhere else.
 "In fixing the penalty I wish to hit upon a sum that will not be so large as to be offensive to justice,'' said the judge, 'and the same time will be large enough to be offensive to the accused and teach them a les- son."
 He fined Kopcho $50 and costs and be the outcome of second offence. All the alleged frequenters were fined s1O and costs each. All appealed, under bonds of $100 for the principal oDd S25 each for the others

PROSECUTOR DENIES BRIBERY CHARGE IS
 DAMNED FRAME UP
District Attorney Freder- icks Invites Man Who Owns the $4,OOO to Prove that the Money Was Not Used in Trying to Bribe a Prospective Juror in McNamara Case.
Special from United Press,

Los Angeles, Nov. 29-They say this is a damned frame up. We'll, let the man that owns this $4,000, a fair sum of money, come forward and prove his property and ifsit was not used to try and bribe proSpoc- tive juror I will give it to him District Attorney Fredericks.
 "The only real information I have had has been from the newspaper attempt at bribery and everybody that knows me knows how futile this story is. But then, what can we ex- .pect? We told our friends what would happen if we went into this trial. will show my check books will say when and where this money was drawn. Darrow.
 ''This is a frame up and I will prove it. Wait until the truth is told that is all.''-Lecompte Davis, of the McNamara defense.
 While both sides deny any compli- city in the job, the fact remains, to- day, that there Is $4,O00 in actual cash in the safe in District Attorney Fredericks' office, without an owner the state alleging there was an at. tempt to bribe prospective jurors.
 The defense charges that the mon ey was contributed by the merchants credit them, McNamara's lawyers, or the eve of the trial.
 Meanwhile. the question of bribery is entering into the interrogation o1 jurors. Talesman Haskell, under ex. animation when court convened, to. day, was asked by Attorney Horton whether he had been approached and offered money by Franklin Attorney Darrow made it plain that he did no1 object to this but that, if the cour, permitted it, he would demand whether any further jurors to be in. terrogated had been approached by the states attorneys.
 If this is done the task of gettins a jury will be prolonged.
 All l have, asked, so far, has beer a. fair jury" Darrow said, when he came into court, today. .eI find we will be very we'll satisfied if We car get one."

RED WITH BLOOD OF VICTIMS IS
 YANCTSE RIVER
Victorious. Imperial Troops at Wu Chang and Han Yang Slaughter Right
 and Left Men, Women and Children Used As Living Targets for Their Bayonet
 Practice
isnecial from United Press !,

(SQGCldI IIOUl OulIGQ FTeSS.)
 Hankow, Nov. 29-The victorious i'm perial troops are engaged in one of the most hideous slaughters of the present war. Wu Chang and Han Yang are running red with blood and hundreds of bodies of the Manchus' victims are floating down the Yangtse. Swarms of vultures are lowering over the river, adding to the horror of the scene.
 The work of the Red Cross has been the heaviest in these, two cities of any place during the present war. The rebel army, terribly crippled by the several days fighting at Han Yang and Wu Chang, is torn with dissen- sion and it is admitted by it's leaders that the situation is most critical. The rebels have retreated from the river.
 / The loss. of Han Yang has been a severe blow to the revolutionary cause. The mint, arsenal, powder factory and other important institutions in that city had kept General Lis army we'll supplied with money and ammunition. Now the rebels, in panicky rout, are unable to get ammunition.
 The imperialists are footing, burning and staying in the most heartless manner. No mercy Is shown to men, women or children. One of the forms Of amusement that the imperialists have adopted is bayonet practice upon living targets. The victims, terribly wounded, are left where they fall.
