The Bavis improvement program
overshadowed the importance of bills
in the legislature at the Commercial
club legislative meeting last night.
and after a lively tilt between the
club members the organization adopt
ed a resolution favoring the issue Of
whatever improvements will be need
ed. While the arguments were friend
ly, in the heated discussion which
arose. the real intent of President Ba-
Wis of the board of works, was lost,
and the club members refused to
adopt a resolution favoring it, until
it had been amended. The resolution
reads:
1--WE favor the city making such
improvements as sewers, permanent
streets and undergrade crossings as
may be deemed necessary from time
to time by the city, and pay for same
by issuing bonds. if necessary. in an
amount not exceeding s15O,OOO. bear
ing interest at not moro than per
cent"
The members understood that the
Bavls program was to be pushed
through regardless of obstacles, with
out deviation from the original plan,
and that the $1500O0 bond issue was
to be made at once, without first
having the improvements ready to
begin.
AS a result Of the proposed improve
ment of North A street. a friendly
suit probably will be brought against
the city by John L. Rupe. who de-
clared that churches should be per.
mitted TO demonstrate against improve
ments for which they will be assessed.
He is member of the Episcopalian
church, past which the Eighth street
improvement was made in 1913.
TN adopting this program" said Mr.
Rupe. "the city should remember that
its share is small compared with the
amount which will be charged against
property owners. This is the wrong
time. Unless I change my mind. !

CRY LEASED WIREl

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 2S.-Numerous
rumors were afloat about the senate
today that several other state sena-
tors would follow the course taken by
Senator S. B. Fleming of Fort Wayne,
who resigned suddenly yesterday. SEN
ator A. F. Gearing of Indianapolis
was mentioned as one who would give
up his seat Senator Gearing refused
to be bound by the Democratic caucus
and voted against the administration
anti-lobby bill. which passed the SEN
ate with only three negative votes
yesterday
Fleming admitted that he had heard
the rumor, but he refused to say any
thing regarding it.
Thomas Taggart visited the state
house today and spent considerable
time comforting with state officials.
He said his visit had no connection
with the Fleming resignation.
Taggart Regrets Loss.
I am sorry to hear that Senator
Fleming resigned" he said. This is
the time we need good men In the SEN
ate
Additional pressure was brought TO
bear on Senator Fleming today to in
duce him to reconsider his resigna-
ton from the senate. To all who talk
ed with him the Fort Wayne solon
made the same reply, that he had re-
signed and that he would not serve as
senator any longer during this session
of the legislature.
Some politicians who claimed to
know, expressed belief today that Sen
ator Fleming would finally decide to
withdraw his resignation, but that lie
would not attend the legislative ses
