 nothing about the accident or the re-
 port. She refused, however, to discuss the case or to make further comment of any kind.
 Neighbors who said they knew Mrs. KummeI had heard nothing about her alleged connection with it. They did eral years ago as a stenographer or a bookkeeper in Senator Pierson's Hart ford office and they said that one the sons had been working in the same

 mel is about 40 years old. According
 to the same netghbors, Mrs. Kummel is either a widow or is living apart

Przenysl has been reclaimed by Austria. Official announce ment was made at Vienna that the great Galician fortress, won by the Russians 10 weeks ago af- ter a long struggle, had been re- captured. With PrzemysE in their hands, the Austrians and Germans have concluded the first phase of their new Galician cam paign which was launched in the drive from Cracow.
 While the fall of Przenys1 has not been conceded at Petrograd, go far as cable advices show, the latest eff1ciale statement from the Russian office admitted that the besiegers of the fortress had won some successes, including the capture of two outlying forts. : to the north
 Despatches from the Austrian front to Vienna indicate that the attacking forces relied largely on their heavy guns which they have used effectively all through their advance across Galicia. These despatches say the Rus slams had removed men and sup plies rom PrzenySl In ant1c1pa- ton of it's fall, and that they con sidered 1t net improbable they would lose Lemberg as we'll.
