that the only way to retrieve British

the cup in front of our eyes by waiving
the rules and letting the challenged
American yacht race in British waters.
1 want to say that while I personally
appreciate the kindness of the sug
gestion, we want to win the cup, and
win it fairly, according to t lie present
rules. And I believe I hat if we were
to win it, it would not stay onourside
more than a year.”
Sir Thomas was able to receive vis
i ors last night,. His cheeks were red,
liis step firm, and his tearing enthu
siastic.

He Informs He
Made Stat *
Assistant Chief of Police R. E.
Owiens, is the officer who made the
statement that he had not made cer
tain arrests because the mayor re
quired too much evidence to convict
them in police court, and Mr. Owens
went tol Mayor Crovatt Monday and
informed him that he had made the
statement.
In these columns yesterday morn
ing It was stated that the assistant
chief had been .seen by a repofcer
and denied that he was tlio author of
the statement. The flact of the mat
ter is Mr. Owens did state to the
city editor Saturday night that while
the mayor trad turned loose many of
the offenders arrested by him, he had
not made the statement.
After the matter had reached a
point where th,o mayor was trying
to trace the report and as soon as
Officer Owens learned that fact, he
quickly looked up the mayor and in
form,ed him that he had made the
statement.
Mr. Ow.ens also informed a News
representative that he was the officer
who made the statement.. The article
in yesterday’s paper was handled by
the city editor and he was not aware
of the fact at the time that the as-
Bisant chief had been to the mayor
amd made a statement, therefore the
item to these columns yesterday.
