Two marked characteristics Of resi-
dents Of Indianapolis impressed them
selves on me yesterday during my
visit to Washington Park and my
strolls along the street-they are the
kindliest, most courteous folk / have
met and the most unobserving. All
through the day I purposely asked
questions which could not help but
be annoying. and with one lone ex-
ception they were answered in the
most friendly spirit. That was at
Washington Park during the inter
mission between the first and second
games.
The whole crowd was looking
around the stand trying to spot me.
and many of them looked through
and around without having the least
idea who I was. They seemed to ex-
pect to see some very mysterious
person instead OF an average Anneri.

Nobody took any particular notice of
me until I reached Market St, al

Leaders Shift Blame

The city administration has been
shaken to its foundations as a result
Of the Armitage resignation and the
activity of Evans. Leaders are sour
rying for cover and each IS protest
ing ne is not to blame.
Typical Of the attitude was the
statement OF Carlin Shank, county
commissioner and brother Of the
mayor
1T was an absolute surprise to me
when I learned that Mr.. Evans had
demanded the resignation of Armi-
tage." he said. "They are undoubted-
ly after Bill Armitage's scalp. If
Bill ewent to church three times
day every bit Of gambling in this
town would be put up to him"
Denies Protection Report
'I haven't the least idea Of what
Evans has up his sleeve" James E.
Armitage said.
He denied reports he had made an
effort to protect Sergeant Dean and
Captain Row, recently suspended from
the police department.
"The night of Aug. 16 I went to
my home with Ernest Kingston.
president Of the board of safety to
change my clothes and prepare to go
fishing with Kingston. My brother
was not there and we waited for him.
Presently he and Chief of Police
Rikhoff came in and Rikhoff told me
he had reports that Dean and Row
had been laying In at a certain
house.
Il Immediately asked Rikhoff If he
had taken the officers badges away
from them and preferred charges and
told him If he had not to do so at
once"
The police department was in
Gtmoralized condition, every one wait
ing for the ak to fall. The statement
of Evans that there should be
changes on the uniform side has
caused considerable perturbation
among evry one from the head of the
department, down. They point to the
fact that Evans forced the resigna-
ton of Armitage.
The statement Of Evans that the
investigation will continue indicated
to policemen that prosecution is i'm
pending. They declared the prose-
cutor must have sufficient evidence to
act or he would not be taking a hand
in the matter.
Accusations that members of the
police department have openly CO.
operated with law violators have been
frequent during the last few days.
Statements to this effect were con-
tanned In recent orders issued by Chief
Herman F. Rikhoff.

mayor last night. Jesse S. Sislon ten

and because of accusations that, vii
