my defeat. I have seen a suggestion
that the only way to retrieve British

t he enp in front, of our eyes by smiling
the rules and letting the challenged
American yacht race in British waters.
I want to say that while I personally
appreciate the kindness of the sug

win it fairly, according to the present
rules. And I believe that if we were
to win it, it would not stay onourside
more than a year.”

his step firm, and his hearing enthu
siastic.

OFFICER OWENS EXPLAINS.
He Informs t He
Made Stat
Assistant Chief of Police R. E.
Owiems, 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 oolumns yesterday morn
ing! it was stated that the assistant
chie|f had been .seen by a repotor
and denied that he was the author of
the statement. The fiact of the mat
ter is Mr. Owens did state to the
city editor Saturday night that while
the mayor bird turned loose many of
the offenders arrested by him, he had
not made the statement.
After the matter had reached a
point where the mayor was trying
to trace the report and as soon as
Officer Owens learned that fact, he
quickly looked up the mayor and in
formed 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
sisant chief had been to the mayor
and mad,® a statement, therefore the
item in these columns yesterday.
