 P|ECE WANTED

\ determined effort is being made to have congress pass a law oruering the director of the mint to coin a fifteen cent piece. It has been pointed out that the greater majority of the nov ing picture theaters throughout the country are now charging fifteen cents admission, and when it is figured out that over ten million people patronize these theaters every day. the desir- ability of the new coin becomes ap- parent
 Because of the abnormal increase in the volume of business in the country there is q present shortage in pennies and subsidiary silver coins, according to officials. The subtreasury had not received any pennies from the mint since October l, it is said.
 Six million Mexican silver pesos have been bought by the treasury de- partment at eighty-nne and one fourth cents an ounce for minting into half dollars, dimes and quarters. The treasury acted when faced with the ne- cessity of buying silver for coinage at steadily increasing prices, which at their height brought the value of the metal close to the mnted value.
 Now the price of silver in this coun- try has dropped precipitately. The swift collapse, from s1.16 to S5 cents per ounce, decline of thirty -one cents within three weeks, has resulted in an investigation to determine whether the market had been manipulated. The high prices recently prevailing are re- garded in Washington as wholly un- warranted.
 The purchase of the great volume of Mexican dollars, the largest purchase by the government of the minted coin of another nation ever recorded, places the United States in possession of a sufficient quantity of silver to run the hints for two or three months and withdr3ws from the silver market here tho largest single buyer. Ii is under stood that the Mexican dollars are to he delivered soon, and approximately five million dollars in gold is to be ex- ported in payment.

DEFENSE ENDS
 IN BUTTS CASE
 |NLOCAL COURT

The defense in the case of the state shooting her sister in- law. Amanda Butts. rested it's case at f o'clock yes terday. The court spent an hour i! the morning listening to the story of lie defendant. when she took the stand in her own behalf The rema .nder f lie day was confined to testin ny of fcred by witnesses called by the ie- fense. which was directed along the l,pCs Of insanity and character quah- f.cs.tions of tAc defendant.
 With the opening of court in the morning at 9:31 o'clock Mrs. Suits took the stand. A touching scene was en- acted in court when the opening of the days session was delayed seVCl1' min utes until the defendant had finished nursing the babe she held in her arms
 When the defendant did take the stand the infant cried and fretted to such an extent that the mother was forced to give it in charge of the father. At frequent intervals while telling her story, the defendant gave way to tears. Her seemingly inability to remember details Was brought out during her stay on the stand
 Doctors Colt Hughes, Mary l.. Neff and Orvilie Harry Brown were called 10 the stand by the defense to testify as 10 the mental condition of the defen- dant at the time of the shooting. Dr. Hughes was attending physicion to Mrs. Butts on that occasion.
 James A. Johnson called by the de- fense as a character witness stated the character of Mrs. Butts, with regard to turbulanCe and violence, was good
 Dr. Mary L. Neff in her testimony stated that the mind of the defenadnt was of the type known as arrested mental development and equal to that of a child of six years of age.
 When the defense rested it's case, the prosecution called two witnesses re- putting the testimony offered by wit nesses of the defense in regard to the character of Mrs. Butts. Principal Phillips of the Riverside school, and Mrs. Brooks, matron of the detention home, testified that the character ot the defendant was good.
 According to indications the case vii 20 to the jury late tomorrow. The prosecution will probably rest it's case early in the morning leaving the re- nainder of the day for arguments

WAGNER BELIEVED TO
BE DONE WITH GAME
Flying Dutchman Refuses to
Sign Contract; Max Carey
Enters Fold.

PITTSBURGH, March 14.-Barney
Dreyfuss, president of the Pittsburgh
National league baseball club, an
nounced tonight that the signed con-
tract Of Max Carey, outfielder has
been received and a telegram had
been received from William Fischer,
catcher, saying he would accept the
clubs terms and leave for the spring
training camp at Columbus, Ga. i'm
mcdiately Honus Wagner, veteran
shortstop, Is the only Pirate VINO has
not signed n contract.
Wagner called at local headquar
ters last week and had a conference
with President Dreyfuss, during which
he took occasion to deny emphatically
that he can be ranked among the
holdouts, or that there Is any dissat-
isfaction ranking In his breast over
the decrease in salary rendered him.
Money hasn't anything to do with
my playing" said he. IL am satisfied
with the salary clause in the contract
rendered me, but l am not satisfied
that | will be in condition to go thru
another hard campaign on the dia
mond Until l am satisfied that /
could get into condition to play, with
Oul lllb lNStllg I Will HOl SlSH.
Honus is much overweight Since
his marriage in December he has been
taking life easy, and has given up
much of ,his old outdoor life. As
result, he is getting as big as a bat
tleship, and at his age the idea of
strenuous course Of training is any
thing but pleasant. 1t is quite evil
dent to those who have talked with
him that Honus,. once so enthusiastic
for the game, has lost some of that
spirit since he deserted bachelordom
Wagner still bankers after a job as
scout, and 1t may be that he will be
accommodated. but not at a salary he
has been offered for playing. Altho
Wagner was not to receive $4,000
this year, he was. according to Presi-
dent Dreyfuss. rendered a contract
calling for more money than any 9TH
er member of the Pittsburgh team,
except Manager Callahan.
a Pittsburgh team without Wagner
in the lineup will appear strange, in
deed, until the fans become eccus-
toned to the absence of the man who
has done more than any other to keep
| the town on the diamond map. Honus
has come to be almost a Pittsburgh
| institution, and the esteem in which
he Is held here was shown conclu-
siVely on the occasion of his 43d birth
day, when fans from all walks of life
united in doing him honor.
