Maliaser Berry yesterday stated that the old baseball association which controlled the Pine Bluff fran chise before it WIS bought by w. w. Hurst of }4rsenta still owed the Pine Bluff team months salary or about $1loo}. Those who controlled the old association from loyal interest in the sport and in Pine Bluff contrib uted far more than their share and it is unjust that they should have to dig down in their pockets and bear this additional expense. Today d comm it. tee will call on the fans and every one will be expected to aid The boys on the team have played hard, and they deserve their salary Pine Bluff as a city can ill afford to advertise to the world that she allowed her ball team to end the season without their sal ary.

EXPLAINS THE DIFFERENCE.
Fowler Says AIdrieh Bill is Emergency
Measure, His a Re- org anization.

Washington, Jan. 10.-At meeting
Of the House banking and currency
committee, which was very generalIy
attended today. Chairman Fowler. ~
J.. explained at length the currency
reorganization bill, which he recent
~ introduced and which was referred
to his committee for use as q WORKING
basis On which to formulate OIL.
Fowler discussed his bill as dlstih-
guished from the Aldrich bill in the
Senate. arguing that while the former
contemplates the complete re-orsani-
zation Of national bank currency on
the basis OF credit-guaranteed nofcS
secured by national bank assets, the
latter Is an emergency expansion
measure purely and provides for the
Issue OF currency on such general Sc
ctirity as the bonds of railroads, coun-
ties and municipalities when approved
by the secretary Of the treasury.
Numerous questions were asked OF
the chairman by members Of the COM
nittee, which although they did not
provoke general discussion. showed
to some extent the various attitudes
OF members toward the Fowler bill
