London. May P,-Secretary of State Kellogg's brief reply to the British note on the war debts and Secretary of the Treasury Melons new statement on the subject are given much front-page space in the London afternoon newspapers. The Evening News uses the headline:

 Britain's friendly note repulsed.

 Mr. Mellon unrepentant.
 The Star also heads its dispatches: "Curt U. s. Reply"

 (The British note, made public last night challenged the accuracy of statements made by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon in his recent letter to Dr. Hibben in which the secre- tary stated that Great Britain's schedule of payments for her debtors called for "a substantial amount more than she will pay to us, so that her American payments will not constitute drain upon her own economic resources

 Replies to Kellogg Too


 Secretary of State Frank B.

Mellonism in such circumstances is likely to prove high ly explosive"
 The Standard concluded that Brit aims note had "pulverized" Melons statements.
 The Standard editorial was accept ed as having revealed the major pur- pose of the British note to get the British position before her con- tinental debtors and thus to coun- teract the effect of Mellon's implica- tion that Britain was profiting from the war debt arrangement.

Douglas Drug Company
Scene of Early Morning
Blaze Thursday

Smoke from a fire breaking out in
She basement of the Douglas Drug
companys store, Tenth street and G
avenue, shortly after o'clock yes
terday morning did damage to stock
in the store amounting to several
thousand dollars.
The blaze started in the basement
of the building and is believed to
have been caused by u defective
pump feeding oil into the furnace.
The store had just opened for busi-
ness and the fire was discovered
when smoke entered the room above.
The store and basement were fill
ed with smoke when the fire depart
mnt arrived, making it difficult to
locate and fight the fire, which was
spreading to the ceiling of the base
ment The firemen fought the fire
for about 10 minutes.
The prompt action of the fire de-
partment probably prevented dis
astrous fire throughout the business
district Of the city. The basement
and adjoining store rooms were fill
ed with lumber, paper and cloth
goods, and other articles.
The chief damage was done by the
smoke, the department having caught
the flames in time to keep them
from spreading. Smoke filled the
store and billowed out into the
street in such dense cloud that
the building could not be seen from
the street.
THE chief damage was smoke
damage Russell Meadows, president
of the company, said yesterday.
while it is Impossible at this time
to estimate the loss, it will amount
to several thousand dollars"
An insurance adjuster from Tue
son will arrive Tuesday to make an
estimate of the damage done by the
flames and smoke, Meadows said.
Insurance was carried on all the
property.
The approximate value of the
building proper is about $4,000 ana
insurance amounting to $4,000 is
carried, according to figures of Fire
Chief W. j. Nemeck. The building
including offices and fixtures is
valued at $71,25O and is insured Cor
$1,000.
The smoke coming up from ths
basement drove employees of the store
cut into the street. The firemen
were forced TO break down three
doors to get to the heart Of the
tlaze. The heavy smoke enveloped
the entire building for several min

FROM ,REHEARING.

PHOENIX, April ii P)-The Ari-
zona supreme court today denied a
rehearing of the appeal CT Charles
j. Blackburn, convicted of the mur-
der of his partner, Miguel Bernal,

ings of the state course. Black

Testimony at the Graham county
trial alleged that the defendant had
beaten Bernal to death with stone
on the afternoon of November :,
1925, while the two men were re-
turning from Stafford to their ranch
at Mesa. The alleged Staying was
said to have occurred near San
Carlos bridge on the Rice-Safford

the crime by pushing the automo-
bile over the embankment in an eff
fort to indicate that Bernal came to
his death in an accident.

burns motive for the crime was to
! collect approximately 100000 insur-
ance on the life of Bernal All the
