BRANCH BANK
BILL PASSED.
SENATE 81 TO Il
Would Restrict Activities in
NeighbOrhO0d of Other
Institutions.
LOCAL INTEREST SHOWN

After a bitter fight IN which strong
lobbies on both sides played large part
the Senate yesterday afternoon passed the
branch bank bill which, as it now stands,
prohibits the establishing Of branch banks
in the immediate neighbOrhood" Of in
situations already established The vote
was 81 to u.
The bill as originally introduced pro-
vided that no State bank or trust COM
pany should establish branch banks, but
on second reading the amendment proyid-
ing they shall not be established in the
immediate neighborhood' Of other banks
was inserted on motion of Senator c.
Oliver Holmes, Gary.
The vote on the bill follows:
AyeS-Adams, Alldredge. Arnold Bal
mum, Baxter Bowers, Brown, Buchanan,
ann. Cleveland, Decker. Dunn, English,
Fitch, Hartzen, Hays, Helper. Hogs on.
Kiper, Kline, Leonard, Lindley, Nc
COnaha, Mccullough, Maier. Masters,
Meeker, Miller. Moorhead, Nejdl, Self,
SouthwOrth, Steele. Swain.
Noes - Beardsley, Behmer, Cravens,
Douglass, Duncan, Holmes. Humphreys,
Nichols Rats. Richards. STROBE. Tague.
On the opening of debate Senator JO-
seph NJ. Cravens moved that the bill be
recOmmitted TO a committee to consider
further the Holmes amendment. Senator
Holmes agreed on the ground that the
amendment is indefinite" The movement
appeared to be intended to delay action
on the bill until adjournment but it was
lost
The next move to kill the bill came
from Senator Don f. Strobe. KOkOmO,
when he moved that il be indefinitely
postponed. After a number Of protests,
Senator Alfred HOgston, Marion, moved
that the motion be tabled. This latter
motion was carried with a vote of 26
ayes, the notes not being recorded.
It was brought out in the course Of a
long debate that the bill was aimed d.
rectly at a condition existing in Indian
apolis, but a number of Senators pointed
out it would have a Statewide applica-
ton.
Practically every bank in Indianapolis
is lined up on one side or the other Of
the controversy and every effort is being
made to get the bill through the House
as it is. on the one hand. or on the other
hand to have it killed there.
