He thinks with Senator Aldrich that bill more temporary than MT.

Differences of Opinion.

Washington, Jan. 9.--Decided differ ences of opinion as to the way of in@ iecting. elasticity into the national cur- rency and of increasing the safety of bank deposits have arisen among the members of the House Committee on Banking and Currency of which Repre- sentative Fowler, of New Jersey. is chairman. Some of the Republican members of the committee as well as Democrats are not in entire sympathy with the plan of Chairman Fowler as embodied in the bill introduced by him yesterday, contemplating the im- mediate retirement of all national bank secured currency and it's replacement by a guarantee credit currency based upon general assets of banks.
 The great differences distinguishing the Fowler bill from the bill introduced in the Senate by Mir. Aldrich. which is looked upon with favor by some of the members of the House Banking Com mittee are that the former proposes complete and permanent re-organi- zation of the country's paper money, while the latter attempts only an emergency expansion and the one clings to national bank assets as the only proper security for national hanks

FLOCK TO FLORIDA
GEORGIA AND ALABAMA SALOON
 MEN GOING THERE.
Will Serve Their Former Customers Tn Counties Now Dry, From New Fountain
 Heada.


 Pensacola. Fla, Jan. 9--(Special)-- Saloon men and liquor dealers from Alabama and Georgia are beginning to flock to this city and section of the State, where they can continue the bus mess which was closed down in Geor- gia and some sections of Alabama on January 1. Within the past week or ten days no less than four new places have been opened up here by Alabama and Georgia liquor dealers.
 The majority of the places opened are by people who are to do whole sale liquor business, but even in that business a license of 5000 per year is required by the city, and the same amount by the County and State. thus adding materially to the license funds collected here from this source. The Alabama men expect to continue to serve their patrons in the counties which they were forced to leave, by shipping liquor to them by express, and already they report doing a good business. It is stated here that other parties are planning to come to Pensa- cola in the near future; or as soon as they can arrange to leave Alabama.
 After Defaulting Collector.
 Telegrams and letters were sent out this morning by Sheriff Van Pelt to various cities in Alabama and Florida requesting the officers to appreheno Henry Miner. young collector for a grocery store here. who has disappear ed with collections made Monday he- longing to the firm. The young man, who was steady, sober and industrious. left the store Monday morning to make collections due the firm. and although it was expected that he would return at noon. he failed to show up. That night when the store closed, he had not appeared, but there was little uneasi- ness owing to the heavy rain. and but little attention was paid to the incl dent Tuesday morning. however, he failed to report to the proprietor, and 1t was then that the latter began to grow uneasy Inquiries showed that he had not been at his home, and the em- ployer, after waiting another day, fin- ally reported the matter to the au- thorities. fearing foul play. as 1t was known the young man had collected about s1O0, the authorities were noti- fled. but failing to locate Miner they came to the conclusion that he had left the city with the money, so notified officers in other cities to arrest him fl he arrived there.
