FRISBIE & co. HAS CREDITORS IN N. B.
Referee YeOmanS COnsults With Attorney BrOder About Concern

Attorney Edward w. Broder. re- ceiver for the bankrupt brokerage firm of Frisbic & Co, was in confer ence yesterday in Hartford with Ref eree-in-B n-Bankruptcy Yeomans, rela- tive to the appointment of appraisers who would go over the accounts of the firm.
 Documents Filed.
 The documents filed with Referee Edward M. Yeomans in the bank ruptcy proceedings of Frisbie & Go. show that the firm has accounts with its customers amounting to s964,- 235.17. The above mentioned amount represents loans made to customers for which the firm received collateral as security. It is stated that under normal conditions these customer ac- counts would represent creditor ac- counts because the value of the col lateral is supposed to be greater than the loan, but since the slump in the stock market many of these accounts have become debtor accounts be- cause the collateral is not worth as much as the loan.
 Book Values.
 The book value of securities placed with various banks is listed as sI,a 2ss.S54.55, of which the Hartford Connecticut Trust company holds s2os.500 and Jenks-Gwynne & com pany, the firms New York corre- spondent. s422,S54.55. In settling the accounts of the firm the balance will depend upon the value of these se- curities when placed on the market
 Az. N. B. Creditors.
 Creditors from New Britain holding security are: New Britain Trust com pany. s1o,oo0: Peoples Saving bank of New Britain. s15,000; Commercial Trust company. s1o,0o0. The claim of E. W. Bennett for $225 is the only one listed from New Britain as unse- cured.
 In the New Britain banks the com pany has the following deposits: New Britain Trust company. $1.020.o1; Commercial Trust company, s22425.

 Has Tragic Regime.
 The Is months that have elapsed
 Glnnce thc poet warrior set himself up as "a dictator have been filled with tragic as we'll as opera bouffc events Clashes between the Italians and Jugo-Slavs were frequent D'Annunzio proclaimed the annexa- ton of Plume to Italy even while that country was appealing to the Allied powers to wrest the city from him. Riots, strikes and fires were numer- ous and the United States cruisers Olympia and Pittsburgh were sent to the Adriatte to protect American in terests. The Jugo-Slavs cut off d'An- nunzio's food supply and Italian war ships blockaded Plume from the sea.
 DAnnunzio put the city on scant rations and continued to issue de- liant manifestos and declare he would never leave Plume alive" Many Italian sailors and soldiers joined his forces until. at one time. he was re- ported to have an army of more than 100000 men. He occupied several other places in tn. disputed region. including Sussak. RisnIak. Durazzo. Trau. Castua and Zara and patrolied the Dalmatian coast with his war ships.
 Blockade Strengthened.
 On January 1. 1920. when the Su- preme Allied Council disbanded in Paris the Adriatic question was still Last March, Italy strength ened the blockade whereupon d'An- nunzio proclaimed Plume "a free and independent state" In solnr>,nce- ing this to tho Allied powers he said the action did not moan Fumes "re- of Italy. He also sum- moned a constituent asscmiy to meet an order that precipitated the resig- nation of the Plume national council and left d'Annunzio as chief of state. foreign minister and commander Of the army.
 Inc RapaIlo Treaty.
 Meanwhile. diplomatic efforts were in progress between Italy and Jugo- to compose their differences. These led to the barley between dele gates representing both nations at RapaIlo carly in November. 1920, and a settlement of the long vexing tAdriatic question on ahe following basis; The Istrian frontier to be by the Jugo-Slavs; ;, Plume to be independent. with terri- toriai contiguity to Italy: Zara to be under Italian suxerainty: Is- lands of Chcrso. Lussin and Unie to be granted to Italy. Tho treaty was signed by the envoys of both nations on November 10. It was later ap- proved by the foreign relations com mittee of the Italian Chamber of Deputies D'Annunzio was admon- shed to accept it's terr/ He replied that to do so would be suicide" for Italy. Jugo-Slavia thereupon ap- pealed to Italy 10 oust d'Annunzio rom Plume and Italian regular troops then surrounded the city.
