1 VIENNA 1S FLEEGED War _Graften; Gets Away With Huge Sum of Money. - Funds Collected to Ald Soldiers Used by Speculator With Mayor's 3 X Ald. Vienna.—Mayor Reumann has just | disclosed to- the- Vienna city council a loss to the city of 18,000,000 crowns through & business venture undertaken by a former council ‘headed by Mayor |’ Weisskirchner, & ‘ On the beginning of the war, Mayor Weisekirchner' organized a committee to collect public ‘subscriptions for the relief of soldiers and their dependents. It is charged that Weisskirchner ‘ad-" vanced huge amounts from this fund as well as’city moneys ta Hans Hafner, who undertook to exploit several schemes for the bénefit of Vienna. Awong Hafner’s ventures was the operation of a large plant for the pro- duction of artificial milk and a factory to manufacture footwear from patent- ed artificial leather. A building was erected for the milk process scheme, but it was never put in operation, while the shoe factory proved a dead loss. To cover its losses, it is charged, Mayor Weisskirchner drew upon funds raised by needlework guilds and upon other charities all over®the country, and also. from the profite 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 ‘tunds was not discovered until the - present government took office. Welsskirchner 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 artifieial leather. fabrics, which they furnished to pro- vide Hafner with material for manu- facturing shoes. CANADA TO CUT DOWN COINS ; High Price of Silver Causes Meiting of Money for Commercial Uses in the Dominion. Ottawa.—The high price which bar ‘Iullvet has heen commandfng In the | metal markets of the world may neces- -sitate a reduction of the fineness of “the alloy from which Canadian silver coins are struck, it was authoritatively stated here today. ‘With bulllon prices at the present level, there is too great a tendency to withdraw coins from circulation and melt- them for commercial uses, it was .saild. The Canadian mint here has been kept 'busy to meet the demand for silver colnage and 'minting is not a expensive. To lessen the temptation to withdraw Canadian coins from: circulation to be melted and sold for bullion it now s proposed to reduce the percentage of pure silver in them. Just what stan- dard may be adopted has not been in- dicated. ~ PLANS HOTELS FOR WAR ZONE French Association Expects Influx of . American Tourists to Battle ¥ Front. Parls, France.—Hotel men, seeking fortunes in the expected flood of Amer- fean and other tourists next year, are planning to erect “harrack hotels” along the hattle front. The National Chamber of Hotelkeepers, co-operating with the government, is seeking pri- viite capital to put up such temporary buildings during the winter. Officers of the assoclation say most of the hostelries now operating at “towns on the front have patrons “sleeping in halls and even on billiard tables,” The first efforts are being di- rected toward making habitable hotels that were damaged during the war and inducing'owners of places destroyed to rebuild then. * * Students Fined 12 Cents Wren Guilty of - Flirting.
