MEN CREDITORS DEPOSE
REAL ESTATE QUEEN"
Mrs. MathiIda FranCoIini'S Co.,
According to Bankruptcy
Petition, Owes S775,000.
RUN ON SUFFRAGE BASIS
Annex Homes Promoter, with
Her Sister, Pointed Out
Women's Superiority in
Investment Field.

The Real Estate Queen" has been
dethroned. An involuntary petition in
bankruptcy filed yesterday against the
Annex Homes Of New York city
marked the abdication OF Mathilda
Francollni. president OF the company
and we'll known in the realty field.
The company was organized on a
| suffrage basis throughout, for Mrs.
Francolnrs chief adviser in the man
agement was Miss Rose HALEY her
sister. who held the job Of secretary.
The only man who appeared in the list
OF officers was Isaac W. Goodhue the
secretary. and he was not actively asso-
ciated in the management until a short
time ago.
Mrs. Francolini wrote many PAM
phlets on Woman in the Real Estate
Field" and kindred topics, in which she
pointed out that investors would do
we'll 10 follow the advice Of the women
in charge OF Annex Homes. In another
booklet was related the remarkable
success which Mrs Francolini achieved
in her real estate romance. She mar
ried a builder whose operations were
on a moderate scale. and after his
death she assumed the management OF
his business and then switched into
real estate. Suburban homes at low
prices we're the speciality Of The Real
Estate Queen"
The Annex Homes promoted such
development at Harrison. y. Y. Mrs.
Francolinis achievements as a real
estate operator were so notable that
only a year or so before the petition
WAS filed against her company she was
featured in an article in Success
magazine.
Womans reign In the Annex Com
pany has ended. according 10 Mr..
Goodhue. the secretary Of the COM
uany. who is a lawyer. with offices at
No. 43 Exchange Place. Mrs. Fran
colini and Miss HALEY resigned in July.
Their designations. Goodhue said, were
accepted Tuesday by the board Of di-
rectors.
Although the two women alone con-
, Quoted the conpany's affairs for sew
eral years with apparent success. the
secretary said he was inclined TO think
their management was rather expen-
sive." The new management, he as
serted, would be put on strictly
masculine basis.
The petition against the company
was filed by Celestino Piva and Eugene
l.. Parodi, whose claims are $3.50 and
$3.50 on notes. These creditors estimate
the company's liabilities at $4,000
and its assets at $4,000. Mr.. Goodhue
said Yesterday that this estimate was
"grotesque" and the company would be
able TO meet all its obligations. He
blamed a dull real estate market for
present financial difficulties.
The creditors say the corporation has
encumbered it's real estate fraudulently
and foreclosure proceedings are pend
ing. They ask the court 10 make an
immediate examination OF the COM
panys affairs on the ground that Ma
thilda Francolini is not TO be found.
Judge Holt appointed Eugene L.
Parodi as receiver, with bond OF
$1,000 The Annex Homes COMPANY
according TO the petition. was formerly
known as the HALEY Land and I'M
provement Company. Its offices are at
No. 800 Fifth avenue.

President Wilson's representative,

lions
II was evident hat the capture OF

The interior had encouraged Gen.

that they believed the lifting Of

tation of arms was NOT as necessary
as previously il had seemed.
ON the other hand. IL appeared
that the original expectation 81 the
insurgents that the ban OF the trans

would be lifted had been met with
more definite requirements from the
Washington government. The par.

es reached crucial stage last night
After n conference with Mr.. Hale

dero said he expected the ncgotia-
lions to end within - hours. hut he
would venture no prediction as TO
the outcome. He added, however
hat there would be another meeting.
