On President by Tenants.

Moved by the personal attack
made by the Omaha Tenants Pro-
tcctivc league Friday night against

The statement by the executive
committee follows;
Was Not Personal.
The executive committee of the
Building Owners and Managers
association of Omaha regrets ex-
ceedingly that the official statement
of the position of the association, as
given out by Alfred Kennedy, presi-

nlcnt of Mr.. Kennedy, and that Mr..
kennedy should be personally at
tackled on account of it.
The Building Owners and Mana

that the present controversy with
the tenants league is one going
much deeper and involving much
more than merely the question of
rents to be paid in, Omaha during
the next few months.

Shamrock " and ResoIute
Unable to Finish Contest
Within Six-Hour Time Limit
Because of Light Winds.
DEFENDER LEADING AT
END OF ABOUT 20 MILES
Challenger Left F|oundering
Along Toward Second Mark
In Virtual Calm When Flag
Announcing End Is Hoisted.

Sandy Hook, N. J., July 17.-After
having left Shamrock w, challenger
for the Americas cup. about two
miles behind in today's international
yacht race, the American defender,
Resolute, failed because Of light
winds to finish within the six-hour
time limit and the race was called
off by the regatta committee after
about 20 miles had been covered.
4 The regatta committee hoisted the
code flag ~" at 7:50 o'clock when it
was obvious that the yachts could
rot finish on time. At this hour the
American defender Resolute was a
little more than half mile from the
second mark.
When the committee hoisted its
signal. Shamrock was floundering to-
ward the second mark, virtually in a
calm. Toward the end of the race
the contest developed simply into a
que estion of whether a sudden blow
would drive the American sloop
across the line in time.
Resolute Leads All Way.
Resolute had led all the way from
the starting line and was apparently
half an hour ahead of the chal-
lenper when the committees signal
was flown.
The first leg OF the race was
beat to windward of 10 miles III
southeastern direction in light air
Resolute crossed the starting line at
1:46:2S, nine seconds ahead II
Shamrock, which crossed at :46:5/.
Resolute gained quick advantage
bg pointing higher in the wind.
while the challenger vainly sought
to overcome that lead by not point
ing so high, but footing faster. Both
sailed in wind that was lust
enough to ruffle the water but not
sufficient to put them down to their
racing lines.
At 3:O3 O'Clock it was evident that
Pesoute had established a big lead
over the challenger.
From then on to the turn the two
Yachts made short tacks. The Res.
c!ute steadily held her wIndward
position, but Shamrock crept slowly
up on the defender as they neared
the first turn. Then, however. the
Irish sloop fell into calm, while
the defender drew ahead and started
or the next l0-mile Ng.
Shamrock rounded the first mark
at :O5, unofficial time, u min
rtes and % seconds behind the de-
fender.
Resolute Holds Lead.
The two >sloops were still holding
OH the starboard tack at 2:26 when
they had covered distance Of near
ly three miles from the lightship.
At $50 the Resolute had the race
