Roily, Jr., banker, of Front anil Reily streets, died at sunrise yester day in Philadelphia where her husband had taken her for expert medical atten tion. Several weeks ago Mrs. Reily went to Atlantic City, hoping to gain health i an l strength there. Few of her friends realized her critical condition, but for ' the last few weeks her husband had spent almost his entire time with her. taking her from the shore to Philadel phia a few days ago. Mrs. Reily was Miss Louise Harri son, of Baltimore, and was born in 1878 in that city.. She received her education in the private schools of Bal timore and in St. Timothy's school. Ca ' tonsville, Md. She was an accomplished musician, possessed of a remarkably sweet and cultured voice and she sang frequently in entertainments for the benefit of the Sunshine Society, the hospital, the Visiting Nurses and sim ilar charitable organizations. Mrs. Reily was an associate member of the Wednesday Club; a member of the Board of Directors of the Visitiug Nurses, and a member of the Advisory Board of the Central Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage Association. Since her marriage fourteen years since she had resided in Harrisburg making her home in the old Reily homestead at Front and Reily streets. Almost from the first she identified her self with church and philanthropic work. She had been a member of Mar ket Square Presbvteriau church since 1906 an<l she taught a large class in the Sunday school. Mrs. Reily was a member of a large and prominent Maryland family. Two sisters and sev en brothers survive her, but both her parents are dead. The news of Mrs. Reily's death was conveyed to the Market Square congre gation yesterday morning by the Rev. William R.

Christian life, Mrs. George W. Reily, Jr." The body was brought home this morning from Philadelphia. The funeral services will be held to morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Reily home.

WE MRS Ft TO MD 1.12 200-Pound Grating Doesn't Halt Young Offender Escaping Headquarters 3LUECOATS ARE ALWAYSONDUTY Yet Wiry Youth Gets Out of Detention Quarters by Wriggling Through Narrow Space. Hohl-fashton—May Have Had Outside Aid The detention of Clarence Ross, col ored, 12 years old, charged with the larceny of several bicycles, was so dis tasteful to him that he escaped from the basement at police headquarters early to-day and used almost as much ingenuity in doing it as did the late bandit, Frank Hohl, in getting out pf the Hollidavstourg jail by way of a window six inches wide. Ross early this mo r ning opened a window from the basement and crawled out under a grating in the pavement in the blind alley which runs beside the headquarters building. He used a bench, similar to the benches in Front street park, to get to the window level. The 200-pound grate in the sidewalk, was then dislodged far enough to per mit the bov to force his little body through and he escaped. The cuppers cannot understand how the bov man aged to move the grate, unless ne had outside assistance. Evidently Hoss wanted to cause all the annoyance possible before he made his getaway. He searched the custo dian's room for something valuable to take with him. He found nothing, but he turned everything topsy-turvy and gained the ill-will of John Grissinger, who presides over that room. if any ot the homeless meu who were in the detention cells over night happened to look out anil see the boy at work on the window they gave uo alarm. Ross would not have been placed in the basement at all if lie would have behaved himself when discharged in the custody of his stepfather, Moses Taylor, of Kdgemont. He was arrested first by City Detective White, charged with larceny of a bicycle. That was oil Wednesday. There being no house of detention, the boy was given „»er to his stepfather, who was to bring hint to juvenile court next Friday. On Thursday, it is alleged, the boy was found trying to hide another bi cycle near the Harrisburg Baking O'Cmpany plant on South Cameron street and Motorcycle Fatrolman Fetrow ar rested him. The police decided to take no more chances and the boy was placed in the basement at police head quarters. He was not under lock aud key and had tile freedom of the base ment, but escape was thought impos sible, as policemen are always on duty in the room at the head of the steps. Ros< still was in the basement last night, but this morning he was gone.

CONVICTED AUTOIHOBILIST MAY OE POT ON PAROLE Court Suspends Morrow's Sentence Un til June and Continues $2,000 Bail—Case of Hargest, Cleared by Orand Jury, to Be Resubmitted Samuel Morrow, who late Saturday evening was convicted on a charge of involuntary manslaughter, growing out of an automobile accident in which Ralph Witmer, 9 years old, was fatally injured, will not ask' for a new trial, so C. H. Backenstoe, his counsel, an nounced this morning. The Morrow case is the first of its kind that has been decided by a jury in Dauphiu county. Further than to suspend sentence until the June Quar ter Sessions .ludge McCarrell made no anmmncepient as to his intention re garding the final disposition of the case, yet there is belief among lawyers •that Morrow will be paroled in the custody of tJounty Detective .lames T. Walters. The Witmer lad was a passenger in a machine driven by Edward Miller. This car and tho Morrow car collided at Seventeenth and* North street# on the afternoon of November 6. last, and the youngster died from peritonitis caused by the injuries. After the jury's verdict in the Morrow case was brought in District Attorney Stroup asked and obtained permission from Judge McCarrell to resubmit to the Grand Jury, at the June court term, an indictment charg ing John J. Jr., with involun tary manslaughter. Hargest was driv ing the auto that crashed into a Valley Railways Company trolley, at Trout and Walnut streets, on January 1, last, resulting in the death of Miss Grace Maugans and serious injuries to three ether passengers. The March grandl jury ignored the manslaughter cparge against Hargest. At the direction of Judge McCar rell Hargest and Morrow furnished bonds in the sum of $2,000 each to ap pear at the June court.

Behney, wife of Dr. Byron S. Behney, a deutist, of • 809 North Second street, was iu court this morning seeking to compel her former husband. Dr. Horace M. Cumbler, also a dentist, of Steelton, to support their son, Horace M. Cumbler, Jr., seven years old. The amount of Dr. Cumbler's annual income was the subject of a lengthy argument between counsel, D. S. Seitz, for Mrs. Behney, and E. E. Beid'leman, for the defendant. Judge McCarrell closed the controversy by making au order directing Dr. Cumbler to pay $7 a week. Dr. Cumbler himself said that in years gone by he has averaged not less than $3,500 a year, but during the last twelve months lie got only about $2,000. His expenses, he said, run close to $1,200 a year, and in his list of expenses he included his insurance charges and club fees. He is a member of clubs both in Steelton aud in Har risburg. and he said that he spends many of his evenings at one or another of these clubs. \ Beid lonian thought the item of charges covering the lad's church con j tributions should not be included in ! the mother's schedule of charges and 1 besides, he said, many of the other charges ''are high.'' "Why we are asked to pay $3.50 a week for that little boy,'' began the Senator, 'and the average workinigman pays not more than $4.50 a week for , board. And think of it," he continued, ; "$1 a week for laundry and s3.so'a I month for shoes."

Reported on Capitol Hill That Gover nor Will Split With the Old Repub lican Chieftains and Form New Leadership for Party William Flinn, former Senator from : Allegheny, National Committeeman of the Progressive or Washington party in Pennsylvania and a leader of the Bull Moose movement in this State since 1912, is expected in Harrisburg this week to hold a conference with Governor Brumbaugh on the local op tion bill, the party's support of which was pledged' in one *of the planks of the Washington platform. The fact that Flinn is coming here gave rise to a story on Capitol Hill to day that a new political combine is about to be made between Governor Brumbaugh, Senator Vare, of Philadel phia, the boss of the South Philadel phia Republican, and former Senator Flinn, the purpose bang to wrest the leadership from the present heads of the Republican organization and put new leaders in their places. Since the election last year Flinn has been very silent and, although he has had numerous conferences with his lieutenants throughout the State, it was given out that he was not likely to be an active participant in any more political movements in Pennsyl vania because of several big contracts for public works he has in New York, and which will take up all of his time and attention. Many politicians, how ever, would be little surprised to see him get back in the political arena. MORTON CO.

Long Besieged, at Last j Surrenders,isOfficial Petrograd Report SIEGE BEGUN . EARLY IN WAR With the Fall of Przemysl the Only ' Important Fortified Town in Galicia in the Hands of the Austrians Is Cracow Petrograd, Via London. March 22, 2.54 p. M.—lt was announced officially here to-da.v that. the fortress of Pr/e --m.vsl surrendered to the Russians to day. London, March 22. 1.25 P. M. The British official piess bureau this after noon issued the following statement: "Information has been received that the fortress of Przemysl has fallen and that the garrison has surrendered to Russian arms." The siege of Przemysl, an Austrian stronghold in the province of Galicia, has been under way since the fMly davs of the war. It has been a bitter and relentless siege, which has never been relaxed for a day since the Russians in vested the city. With the fall of Przemysl the only ! important fortified town in Galicia which is still in the hands of the Aus trians is Cracow, in northwestern (ia licia, close to the German border. In the early days of the war the Rus sian offensive campaign, as outlined of ficially, contemplated the invasion of j Germany through East' Prussia on the ; north and simultaneously into Silesia from Galicia. The Russians succeeded in penetrating Galicia, hut the success iof the Austrians in holding Przemysl and Cracow blocked attempts to invade {Germany across the Silesian border.

The fail of Przemysl deprives Austria of her last important fortress in Galicia with the exception of Cracow, near the German border, which the Russians have mado several unsuccessful attempts to cap ture. The German war office announced that the city of Memel, on the Baltic Sea in the northern tip of East Prus sia, had been retaken from the Russian force which captured it last week, fol lowing a battle near the city. The Ger man announcement contains the asser tion that Russians looted the city while they were in possession. Operations in France and Belgium were of much the same character as recently.
