London Thinks Enjoys Conduct I'm
usual in Virtually Challenging Gov
eminent to Refute Balfour Note of
Last August Foreign Office De-

Discussion Stirred Up. 49,
Blythe Associated Press.

London, March 1.-Ambassador Harvey's speech last
night in which he discussed the underlying and the
nature of Great Brtans Indebtedness to the United
States evoked expressions of dspeasure in British official
circles today and gives indications causing considerable
discussion.
The foreign office declined to comment on the adj
dress but it is reliably stated that Ambassador Harvey
remarks particularly his virtual challenge to the British
government to issue statement refutng the Bafour note
of last August considered to be unusual for foreign
envoy.
Ambassador Harvey's assertion that Great Britain
has not been asked to guarantee and did
the payment of single dollar loaned by the United
States for the use of country other than Great Britain
herself stood out today of the noteworthy utter
ances of his address at the Pilgrims dinner last evening

Vetoes Bill Creating Additional Court for Bexar County
SUSPECT HELD AFTER
DARING HOLD-UP OF
LOCAL DRUGSTORE
East Commerce Street
Pharmacy Robbery Nets
Only Small Sum.

City detectives are holding an al
legged hold-up man. following a robbery
at August Il. Staffa' Ndrus store, 400
East Commerce street, at 1880 We'd
nesday night.
The prisoner, %, who says he re-
sides at an East Commerce street
rooming house, declares he is innocent.
although he has been identified by
Mr.. Staffa and two otherC.
His arrest by Detective Captain
Street and Detectives Green and Har-
ris was based solely upon circumstan-
tial evidence. He was picked up by
the plain clothes men within half a
block of the drug store, 80 minutes
after the hold-up, on the description
furnished by the druggist.
Mr.. Staffa was alone in his place
of business, when, according TO report
filed at detective headquarters, an I'M
masked white man entered, drew PTS
tol and compelled the druggist to
stand with his hands above his head.
The gunman. except to command Mr..
Staffa to stick 'cm up" remained
silent throughout the time required
for the robbery. Walking over to the
cash register, the gunman is said TO
have tried vainly to open the cash
register. Failing, he scooped up a 80
cent piece, 80 cents in nickets and 40
cents in pennies that were lying on the
top of the register, walked out of the
place and disappeared.
Otis MARI. 1912 Virginia boulevard,
and Mike Romero. 6J4 Leigh street,
were standing on the sidewalk directly
in front of the drug store and saw
the gunman rs he walked out of the
place. They said the prisoner was
the man who committed the robbery.
The prisoner, gives his occupation
as mechanic and says he is victim
of mistaken identity. He told detec-
tives he had visited the home of his
sweetheart on South Pres street
Wednesday night, which place he left
shortly after 10 o'clock, and, after
having light lunch in a cafe near
the drug store started TO his room
when arrested by detectives.

OVERDRAFTS OF us.
ARMY OFFICERS ARE
PAID ENGLISH BANK
Americans Trusted; Left
Without Settling
Accounts.
by the Associated Press.

London, March f.-While John
Bull is being patted on the back for
his honesty and straight-forwardness
in settling his wartime debts. some
Englishmen are equally DESTROYS of
administering reciprocal thumps on
Uncle Sans shoulders for clearing up
odds and ends of American obligations
in this country.
The inventions commission. sent to
England recently, is holding daily ses-
sions TO hear claims which will cost
the American government thousands
of dollars, while the historic Cox
banking firm is overjoyed because il
has Just received from Washington
about $4,000 TO pay overdrafts of
approximately 80 American officers.
These military men during the war
took ADVANTAGE of the banks liberali-
ty and then left England without set
Ting their accounts.
The firm advanced thousands of
pounds to a host o. young officers
and when the institution was alb
sorbed by I.loyds recently the COM
mon exclamation among army men
was: Bang goes my overdraft,' For
a century the House OF Cox has con-
sidered men with commission not only
as Officers and gentlemen" but also
as being responsible for their debts.
The bank had little hope of re-
imbursing itself for the overdrafts be-
cause most Of the officers had been
discharged from the American army
and their addresses were unknown.
Consequently, the firm was both sur
prised and gratified when it received
the remittance from Washington.
