CHINESE BRIGANDS NAME 2 DELEGATES (By International News Service) SHANGHAI, May 17.—The Chinese bandits who seized many captives including American men, women and children, in a raid upon the Shanghai Peking Express near the Shantung border, selected two delegates to impress their demands upon Peking officials and foreign diplomats, according to information received here today. This news came from a young Chinese student of the Nanking College named Ku, who had been captured by the bandits but later escaped. Ku said the brigands were in earnest in their threat to kill the foreign captives unless their demands were met.

There is no confirmation of a report that three Chinese prisoners were put to death by being hurled from a precipice by their captors.

Beasley, county manager, who testified for the company.

Necessary extradition papers were mailed some time ago. The American Minister, Franklin Morales, said he did not anticipate any hitch in the extradition proceedings. Already The will of the late General Julian O. Royer, formerly of Anaheim, is set aside and his estate of approximately $200,000 is divided as if he had died intestate, according to a verdict brought in by the jury just after midnight this morning. The jury had been out since 4:50 p.m. Unless the decision of Superior Judge R. Y. Williams is successfully appealed from, the estate will be divided this way. To the widow, Mrs. Louise Royer, one third; to the children, Max Royer and Mrs. Walton Amstutz, the other two-thirds in equal shares. The case opened May 1 and was one of the most bitterly fought contests in the history of the Orange co-courts. Marie Feraud, by the terms of the will, received the larger part of the estate, the widow receiving the rest. Thereupon the widow and children appealed as contestants against the probating of the will, which now is rendered null and void, unless the supreme court reverses the decision of the superior court. Edwin Meserve of Los Angeles was the active attorney for the contestants, Richard Melrose of Anaheim, retired attorney, and W. F. Menton of Santa Ana assisting. Mattison B. Jones of Los Angeles, former Democratic candidate for governor, was chief counsel for the contestees. Attorney Frank B. Wilcox and Thomas of Los Angeles assisting. Attorney Meserve based his suit mainly on fraud as alleged in the complaint, showing that employees on short acquaintance had been deeded valuable property by the General. Attorney Jones argued that the General's mind was sound, as shown by the testimony of the physicians, Dr. Bertrand R. Smith and Dr. Clarence GI Toland and by the signatures to the will and testimony of Federal Judge Benjamin F. Bledsoe and the two doctors.
