DISCHARGE OF OWN GUN

A new theory ms TO the means by
which Rawn was shot to death was
suggested late today from the office
OF the private detective agency en-
gaged by the Rawn relatives 70 lnves-
tigate the death.
The opinion was expressed that Mr..
Rawn met his death as the result of
an accident ana that IN fact, but one
shot had been fired and that from the
revolver held by Mr.. Rawn.
ut Is likeiy that Mr.. Kawn heard
some noise in his home. and with a
revolver in hand, descended the sairs
in search OF an intruder said an Of
ficcr of the detective agency. when
near the bottom of the stairway, ! be-

WAS discharged,
This would account for the fact
that only one shot was heard by
neighbors. and that there wns no trace
of rohber in the house Mr.. Rawn =
relatives knowing he descended IN
search Of burglar, ana then finding
him dead likely assumed he had been
shot by "a burglar when the death
more probably was caused by the ac-

DEADLY CARBON MONOXlDE
BLAMED FOR CATASTROPHE

Washington, July 2l.--1ieut. Geo.
l.. Vandusen who was injured at
Fort Monroe, was appointed to the
artillery less than week ago. He
formerly has been an officer in the
infantry. but resigned and was reap
pointed to the army from civil life,
In the absence OF any report from an
official investigation board, officers
of the coast artillery can only COM
pare the explosion to some similar
ones which have occurred in the navy.
The ma ajority, however, appear to be-
lieve that the explosion was caused
by carbon monoxide, highly, in
flammable gas which forms in the
barrels oi large guns and which is
especially dangerous during rapid
firing The gun crew at Fort Mon
roe was trying TO make rapid fire
record The theory is that the new
charge of powder was hurried into
the breech before the gases generated
by the previous shot had time to dis
aipste, and before the breech could
be closed the powder exploded, dow
ing off the block and carrying death
with IT, A device has been developed
in the navy which automatically
clears the barrel of carbon monoxide
rs the breech is opened. No such
arrangement was in use on the coast
defense guns at Fort Monroe.
Many officers OF the army ana
navy staff had gone from here 70 be
present at the target practice. Ma
jor General Leonard Wood, the chief
of staff OF the army, was expecting
to go direct from New York to Nor
folk, but at the last moment changed
his plans and returned to Washing
ton. A board of officers to investi-
gate the accident was Immediately
ordered and began its work at once.
