ported Unchanged.

London, Oct 13.-Information given
out in Berlin indicates the Russian
siege of Przemysl, the Austrian for
tress in Galicia, has been abandoned.
Austrian troops are reported to have
defeated Russian division near Lam
cut and to have routed a division of
Cossacks east of Nymao Vienna ad
vices say Przemysl has been relieved
by Austrian columns, who have enter
ed the fortress. The Russians are
said to have fed in the direction of
the River San, a number being cap
tured while attempting to cross the
Rivers Siniava and Lepaysk
The Russian official statement
makes no reference TO Przemysl, but
says the AustTians in Galicia are op-
Grating in small groups in various
sections of the country. One Austrian
division was surprised by Russian
cavalry, says the statement, and dis.
persed In East Prussia the situation
is unchanged. Several engagements

we captured 1000 men of the Second
Siberian army corps.
THE Russian official communication
about a great Russian victory at Au-
gustowo and Suwalki (Russian Po
land) is invested. The fact that no
official Russian communication has
been published about the tremendous
defeats at Tannenberg and Insterberg
(both in East Prussia) vouches lack
of reliable official information"
A Cettinje dispatch to the Havas

the Austrians near Kalenogitch with

A Russian official communication
given out at Petrograd expresses the
belief that the death of King Charles
of Roumania removes an obstacle to
the turning of Roumania to the cause
of the allies,-an adds that Roumania
will now cease to menace Russia by
furnishing provisions and transports
for German troops The Servian min

probably will continue to remain neu-

FIND LOOPHOLE
in COCAINE LAW
Statute Fails to State How
Soon Sale Must Be Re-
corded, Says Judge.

An omission by the Legislature in
framing the law compelling druggists
20 keep n record OF the sales of CO.
caine, heroin, etc, gave Maurice j.
Sander, a druggist convicted of vio-
lating the act, his freedom on bail
pending his appeal TO the Appellate
Division.
Justice Hendrick, Of the Supreme
able doubt yesterday to Sander, whose
application was not opposed, Assistant
District Attorney Richter explaining
that his Office wished to have a ruling
by the higher court
Sander was arrested on a charge Of
failing to record a sale of heroin 20 a
woman. His contention was that the
detectives arrested him within ten
minutes after the sale, and he did not
have the time to comply with the law.
The statute makes no provision as to
how soon the entry must be made, San
dor arguing that a reasonable time
should be given. The Appellate Di-
vision might decide what should be
considered a reasonable time.
Justice Hendrick said: "The law
should have been more specific con-
corning the time of making the rec
ords. Reputable physicians might not
make records within ten minutes, be-
cause something might prevent them
from doing so, and yet they might
make their records complete before
the close of the business day. 1t is
an important question"

MORGAN PAINTING
INJURED BY HEAT
Torrid Weather Almost Ruins
Costly Picture of
Financier.

Hartford. Conn. Aug. 14.-During the
visit of a painter to the Morgan me-
mortal to-day it was discovered that
the almost priceless portrait of the
dead financier. done several years ago
by the Peruvian artist, Carlos Baca-
Flor. had been almost ruined by the
extreme humid heat of the last few
days.
James Britton, the visiting artist,
pointed out to the curator that the col
ors had moved noticesbly, and that the
heat had caused deep, dark brown
assures in the originally smooth black
surface Of the subjects frock coat.
II was explained that the artist must
have used paints containing asphaltum
or tar, which have a tendency to creep
in hot weather Some artists use such
paints because of their peculiarly
smooth and velvety softness when
mixed with blacks.
Mr.. Britton said: "The figure Of Mr..
Morgan appears TO have lost its right
side. the reddish underground of the
painting coming through the assures,
which can be remedied either by re-
painting or by locking up with a good
coat of hard varnish. The chief artistic
value of the painting came from the
superb color effect produced by the
very substances which are now causing
the damage"

Counsel, as receiver for the estate of
eX-Representative big Tim" Sullivan.
The receivership was established on
the application Of William Fox. a the
atrical manager, who has a claim for
about $4,000.
Fox is suing Lawrence Mulligan and
Patrick H. Sullivan, executors of the

plicated state because of the lack of
business knowledge of big Tim"

many years. Many claims have been
filed, but some of these, it is said, will
