CHINA UNSATISFIED,
SAY KOO AND SEE
Diplomatists at Lawyers Club
Luncheon Praise Hughes
and Farley.

Four hundred members of the Law
yers Club. including many prominent
lawyers and several judges, attended q
luncheon yesterday at the club at lis
Broadway at which the chief guests
were DIR. v. X Wellington I<oo. former
Chinese Minister to the United States
and now Minister to Great Britain, and
DR.. Sao-Ke Alfred SEE. the present
Chinese Minister at Washington.
Both DR.. Koo and DR.. SEE spoke on
"China and Her Part in the Washington
Conference" They agreed that though
China had not succeeded in gaining all
she wanted she had gained enough that
the accomplishments far outweighed
what was left undone. DR.. Sze said the
happenings in Washington had served to
strengthen the confidence OF his coun-
try in the altruistic motives OF the
United States. He gave much credit to
Secretary Hughes for the success of the
conference. Without him. said DR.. SEE,
the Shantung question could not have
been settled, and with that question not
amicably settled none of the other treat
les could have been arranged.
Robert Morris, vice-presdent OF the
Lawyers Club, presided. Many of DR..
Koo's classmates of 1909 at Columbia
were present, the blue Columbia banner
being displayed at several tables Also
present We're DR.. w. B. Pettus of the
North China Language School. Ziang
Ling Chang, Chinese Consul at New
York; DIR. s. c. Yen, professor of medi-
cine at Chang Sa, China, and Y. c..

EXPORT FIRM OWES
! ABOUT S4,OOO,OOO
Dilsizian Bros Bankruptcy
Reaches Into Many Parts
of Three Continents.
MOST CREDITORS SECURED
Schedules Here Show Liabiii-
ties of S2,634, $50, With
Assets Of $59,335.
MOST CREDITORS SECURED

With the filing of the schedules in
bankruptcy by Saul S. Myers, attorney
for Dilsizian Brothers, exporters, of II
Battery Place the story of the manner
in which the firm had been thrown
iuto bankruptcy by the action of two
discharged employees was disclosed.
The effect of the filing OF the original
petition IN bankruptcy was to throw
the company into what might be called
international bankruptcy, as creditors
started run" on every branch office
OF the firm throughout the world, es-
pecially in the Near East.
The schedules filed yesterday show
that the liabilities of the exporting
house in this country amount to $2,634,-
6s9 and that they have assets of S59 ,S35
Of which s27S9i is free merchandise in
the United States. s26.S55 debts due On
accounts. and $4,443 in the bank. The
entire liabilities of the firm in all coun-
tries of the world aggregate about
si,OOO,00O. Most of the creditors abroad
are secured by merchandise.
The statement of the attorney tells of
the filing of an involuntary petition by
David Goldstein and Gustav b. Garfield
about March 1, 1921. But for this ac-
tion by two discharged employees" the
schedules read. "the bankrupt would
have been able to satisfactorily arrange
with creditors here and abroad with
The filing of the petition here, run
was started on the offices of the firm
in Constantinople. Milan, Eritrea on the
II tz1 hat
;ind Djibouti, Africa, with the result
that the demands were too heavy for
the firm to meet at that time.
The bankrupts state in their schedules
that the bankruptcy was precipitated by
the filing of the petition and the drop
in foreign exchange, the drop In the
selling prices of ocean steamers, the
drop in freight rates, the general fall
ing off in the selling prices of commodt-
ties and the closing of the Russian mar
kets. Dilsizan Brothers had large
stores of merchandise ready for ship
lnent into Russia when the closing OF
the market there occurred and they
were hit hard by this turn in the trade.
They have applied to the Secretary
of State for aid in procuring from the
foreign authorities the books and papers
necessary to ascertain the status of their
foreign business and amount of in
dcbtedness, but this has been denied
according to the papers filed yesterday
in the United States District Court
They state that they arc unable to use
any of their foreign assets in the matter
of merchandise in liquidating the Amer
ican claims of creditors as their property
is in the hands of the foreign authori-
ties.
Among the creditors named here are
Guaranty Trust Company. S654.233, Sc
cured by merchandise United States
Mortgage and Trust Company, S415.227,
also secured; Irving National Bank,

of Poisoned PEN Letter

circulating in Westchester county,

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK Hrrarp.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. C.. Feb. OK


Senator Watson Und), was assigned
to-day TO the seat long occupied In the
Senate by the late Senator Penrose. due
TO the retirement of William s. KENYON
Of Iowa, who got the seat soon after
the death of the Pennsylvania Senator.
Charles A. Rawson, the successor to
Mr.. Kenyon, took a seat on the Demo-
cratic side near Senator Pepper (Pa.),
because of the lack OF seats on the
majority side.
Since the assignment of seats in the
Senate Is according to the seniority rule
the question is often asked why Sena-
tor Lodge (Mass), the Republican lead
er, holds on to his place jammed in
limited quarters in the midst of his
colleagues. 1t was explained to-day that
senator Lodge prefers his present seat,
which he has long occupied. because the
desk was the one used by Daniel Web

A Matter of Personal Judgment

ouestion-1t has been stated frequently
in your column that advice Is given in
relation to speculations. l do not want
you TO violate your policy by informing
me whether or not to speculate or invest in
Atlantic Fruit, Great Northern Ore, Isla nd
Oil and Middle States Oil. However, II
You will furnish me with the necessary in
formation regarding these companies I
shall determine the question for myself
NJ. S. c.
Answer-Atlantic Fruit Company is
in the process of reorganization and
Island Oil and Transport Corporation
is in receivership. Stocks of these two
companies, therefore, can be regarded
only as highly speculative under pres
ent conditions. Great Northern Iron
Ores properties have been we'll man
aged, and the outlook for this organi-
zation's certificates should improve
along with the steel industry. Middle
States Oil Company's earnings are sat
isfactory. These two would be suit
able for your purpose if you felt in
cl'ned to assume the speculative risks
involved
