CANADA TO CUT DOWN COINS
High Price of Silver Causes Melting
of Money for Commercial Uses
In the Dominion.

Ottawa.-The high price which bar
silver has been commanding in the
metal markets of the world may neces-
state a reduction of the fneness of
the alloy from which Canadian silver
coins are struck, ii was authoritatively
stated here today.
With bullion prices at the present
level, there is too great tendency to
withdraw coins from circulation and
melt them for commercial uses, it was
said. The Canadian mint here has
been kept busy to meet the demand for
silver coinage and minting is not
profitable business, with bar silver. so
expensive.
To lessen the temptation TO withdraw
Canadian coins from circulation TO be
melted and sold for bullion II now is
proposed to reduce the percentage of
pure silver in them. Just what stan
dard may be adopted has not been in
dicated.

RIDERLESS PONY WINS RACE
But Judges Award Money to Horse
With Rider,

Sometimes it is the jockey that wins
the race; sometimes the horse wins
the race without the jockey.
Two ponies were entered in the
pony race at the fair at Markham,
Canada. Both riders rode bareback.
Half way round the track young Jack
Forester, who was running second,
suddenly went over his pony's head.
The riderless animal did not quit be-
cause its rider did. 1t stayed with the
race, rapidly overhauled the leading
pony and passed the judges stand a
two lengths winner.
The grand stand roared applause.
First money for the riderless pony"
the crowd shouted. The judges
thought otherwise. and ordered the
race run over again.
The race began. Again the boy
jockey was endorsed and again his
pony galloped into first place. The
other rider was determined to win.
Neck and neck the horses approached
the line Then the riderless horse
sprinted and won the race by half a
length.
And, despite the cries from the
grand stand, the judges awarded first
money to the horse that came second
with it's rider.

War CRATER Gets Away With
Huge Sum of Money.
Funds Collected to Aid Soldiers Used
by Spectator With Mayors
Aid.

Vienna.-Mayor Reumann has just
disclosed to the Vienna city council
a loss to the city Of 100000 crowns
through business venture undertaken
by a former council headed by Mayor
Weisskirchner.
On the beginning of the war. Mayor
Weisskirchner organized committee
to collect public subscriptions for the
relief Of soldiers and their dependents.
1t is charged that Weisskirchner adj
vanced huge amounts from this fund
as we'll as city moneys to Hans Hafner,
who undertook to exploit several
schemes for the benefit of Vienna.
Among Hafner's ventures was the
operation of large plant for the pro-
duction of artificial milk and a factory
to manufacture footwear from patent
ed artificial leather. building was
erected for the milk process scheme,
but 1t was never put in operation,
while the shoe factory proved a dead
loss.
To cover its losses, ii is charged,
Mayor Weisskirchner drew upon funds
raised by needlework guilds and upon
other charities all over the country,
and also from the profits Of municipal
war kitchens without acquainting the
opposition members of the council of
his action.
No accounting of the charity funds
was ever made, so the use Of those
funds was not discovered until the
present government took Office.
WeiSskirchner and his associates
have been called upon to explain these
transactions. Meantime the city is be-
ing sued by manufacturers in Slovakia
for vast quantities of artificial leather
fabrics, which they furnished to pro-
vide Hafner with material for manu-
featuring shoes.
