I are not as bad as they have been
/ painted"
James E. Armitage is 81 years OF age.
He has lived In indianapolis for forty
seven years. he and his brother being
| brought here by his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. James II. Armitage when he was
very small boy from Louisville. where
he was born. The father died in 1915,
but Mrs. Armitage still resides at 1925
West Twenty Seventh street. Friends Of
the Armitage family say that she is very
proud of the public trust imposed upon
her son and eager that he prove worthy
of it.
The Armitage family knows what it Is
to be in financial straits. The father and
sons for years wore overaIls and earned
their living, sometimes a very slender
living, by manual labor. By dint of hard
work and frugality, however, better ii Is
came until the two sons We're enabled 20
acquire some real estate holdings. Their
operations in real estate since have been
successful and are said to have been the
basis of the comfortable fortune they are
reputed to hold today.
LIFELONG INTEREST
IN POLITICS.
From hoyhood, James Il. Armitage has
been interested in police activities, all
thouSn never directly engaged IN thema
For thirty years he is said to have known
practically every man who wore the uni1
form of the Indianapolis police depart-
ment and to have been an admirer of the
officer who always got his man. He al-
ways made it a point to become ac-
quainted wit the policemen who came
around the various places where he was
employed and gained an insight into
thier problems of the man in the field
which he believes will be valuable to
him as a member of the board of public
safety. For seventeen years Mr.. Armi-
tage was an employee of the Van Camp
Packing Company. He worked for the
street railway company for a time. His
job there was changing mules. He also
worked in the old Central Chair factory
for three years. His working days, in
fact, date from the time he was between
ten and eleven years old.
The partnership between James E. and
william H Armitage has been one Of
the fine things in their lives. both adj
NIT. Their friends say that there never
has been a word between them and that
the loyalty of one for the other should
be an inspiration and a much needed ex-
ample for some men who have been their
bitterest enemies.
Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1921-12-26
BY VoLNEY B. FOWLER.

There is piece of virile, thoroughly
American slang used by persops en-
gagged in or familiar with the work of the
police and fire departments to describe
a policeman who is the terror of evil
doors on his beat and so conducts him
self as to be able to look every decent
citizen squarely in the face and the
firemen who never shirks and lives with
the same sort of personal cleanliness.
No higher praise can be given such
policeman or fireman than to say that
che hits the ball
Policemen and fremen who init the
ball" after Jan. ., are going to have at
least one stanch friend on the incorn-
ing board of public safety. He is James
f. Armitage, appointee of Mayor-elect
Samuel Lewis Shank as the Democratic
member of the safety board, known by
all his friends as the Silent member" Of
the partnership of 1.-The Arimtage broth
ers." For years, William Fl. Armitage,
the other brother, has been an outstand
ing figure in local politics. Although
both have contributed to the success of
candidates upon numerous occasions
neither has ever sought a public office.
Now public office has practically been
thrust upon the silent member"
ARMITAGE DID NOT
SEEK POSITION.
The friend of the guardians of the
public safety who hit the ball" did not
seek appointment as a reward for what
he did to help Samuel Lewis Shank be
elected mayor Of Indianapolis Rather,
as Mr. Shank himself has said upon
several occasions, James E. Armitage
was appointed to the board to assist
Chairman Ernest L. Kingston and Re

publican Member Edward G. Sourbier TO
make the police and fire departments In
the new administration The best the cit
ever has had. Mr. Shank said he did
this with the realization that Mt
Armitage is fitted for the task through
thirty years of intimate acquaintance
with members of the police department.
The fact that he did not seek the APP
pointment and has been publicly in
formed by the mayor elect a number OF
times that he was selected for the board
solely because it was thought that he
was qualified gives Mr.. Armitage the
opportunity TO serve entirely free of any
bias and without any political axes to
grind, his friends say.
FUILY UNDERSTANDS
POLICE JOB.
That Mr. Armitace brings to his new
work a thorough understanding of how
policemen ought to perform in order 10
be the kind of a policeman who hits the
ball" is testified to by all who know
him we'll Watching the police depart
ment and helping Herman f. Rikhoff,
appointee for chief of police. develop
it to a high point of efficiency, is ex-
pected to be Mr.. Armitage's especial
service as a board of safety member.
Il have no specific plans for the better
ment Of the police and fire departments
which | can discuss at the present time,

want to back up Chief Rikhoff and Fire
Chief John J. OBrien in every proper

ideas for the betterment of the depart

going to find the Democratic member

they are in the interests of good public
service they'll find me dead set against

STRONG FOR
LAW ENFORCEMENT.
Il am absolutely in favor of law en-
forcement 1 think that when a police
man goes out to tnfOrce the law upon
others he Is not fit to exercise his author
ity unless he himself is obeying the law.
That is going to be one of the things I
am going to take particular pains to
watch. l am for every man on both the
police and fire departments now. The
way to keep me for them is for them to
DO their duty. Let me say right now
that the way for policemen and fremen

That's the only kind of men / want to

recommendations of the chiefs in the

New Loan to SantO Domingo
Also Recommended by
Senators.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2G-Continued oc-
cupatlon by American marines of Santo
Domingo and Haiti was recommended to-
day in a partial report made public by
the special Senate committee which in
vestigated conditions in those countries
The presence of marines is necessary to
the peace and proper development of
the two republics, the committee holds.
The committee recommends a new loan
for Sdnto Domingo and funds for the
completion of the highway from the
north to the south and other road work
in that country. This loan, the COM
mittee stated, would be used to fund
other oppressive loans and provide the
money for the road work.
The loan would lift the country from
its present business depression and
cement the good relations between SantO
Domingo and the United States, the
committee stated.
The easy and economical means of
communication afforded by good roads
would deter revolutions and enable the
republic to give guarantees of stability
and order, which, in turn, may Justify
notifications of the American terms of
withdrawal Of the forces of occupation,
the committee stated.
Marines in both republics were COM
mended for their constructive work.
In its report on Haiti, the committee
pointed out the imperative need for Of
ficials and marine officers sympathetic to
that country. The inhabitants, while
primitive, ignorant and poverty stricken,
are kindly and gentle and quick to re-
spond to the generous treatment, the re-
port stated. Coordination among the
various American representatives would
go a long way toward putting Haiti on
the road to prosperity and peace, the re
port stated.
The committee is Analysing charges
arising out of the period of lawlessness

marine officers were a psed of violent
