Robert D. Bradford, T, of 70 Cur cidental drowning according to the finding of Deputy Coroner Henry c. Stevenson, made public today. The coroner's report is as follows. "The deceased with his brother Alger, g years, and with Francis Brousseau, 2 years, respectively, on Sunday af- ternoon. August 9th, 1922, went bath ing in the salt water of the Bridge port harbor at the foot of Newfield avenue, said Bridgeport. about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The tide there was then about one half high. He stepped in an unknown hole un- der the water in which hole the water was over his head and being unable to swim and no competent help be- ing near, was drowned.
 ''The hole is in a sand bar about 100 feet from the shore. It was formed in November 1921 by the ac- ton of the water and sand about the tug-boat Isis which lay there aground for about a day before be- ing pulled off; and had been caused by the settling of the grounded tug in the sand. Ordinarily such hole would itself fill up within a few and winter storms, as the bottom of the harbor there is all sand. I held an inquest and examined as witnesses, Robert Fetrett, 126 Wentworth street and Mrs. Mary Brousseau and her two sons, Francis and George Bros seau, of IFS East Main street, all of Bridgeport

Happy Girls And Healthy Appetites Are Big Features
 At Camp Howell In Bedding

no matter how wonderful a time they are enjoying, Mrs. Howell plays mother as well as big sister and al lows her to sleep in the headquarters until the patient finds her natural self again.
 But tn kitchen, and the commits sary. to many of the girls they & are a1e t5e camp site On pleasant days all meals are cooked in huge wash boilers ana kettles on a big stove In the open. fashion with a plate, cup. knife fork and spoon and are supplied by the kitchen detail. The menu yesterday consisted of corned beef and cabbage, of cocoa or milk. The hefpings are not stinted in the least and during meal time the scouts may visit the kitchen as many times as they care to until the rovisions are gone. And how those Girl Scouts can eatt Yes terday, about three-Quarters of an hour after breakfast one little girl was seen sitting on a box near the cUmmissary. Mrs. Howell asked her why she did not go out and play with the rest of the girls and she replied To prohibit any bowling or ill-feeling on the part of the kitchen detail about washing dishes, Mrs. Howell has ruled that every girl shall wash her own dishes. Each has her own dish towel and after each meal there is parade to the brook where the tedious process begins.
 Of course no camp Is complete without a place to go bathing and so Mrs. Howell has had part of the brook damned up so that swimming is a part of the program for each day.
 Every few days a graduate nurse from Danbury visits the camp and inspccts the girls. The last inspec- tion was held Tuesday and the nurse reported to Mrs. Howell that she has never inspected finer, cleaner or healthier group of girls than the ford and Lordship.
 There is a very romantic history attached to the camping site. for one of the greatest battles between Gen. eraI Putnam's forces and the EnGlisn army in the Revolutionary war took place around Sunset Hill. Already several old fire places and dugours probably used in the war of 1775 have been found by the girls.
 On Sunday Mrs. Howell will lead the girls to church in Bedding ana still they will be in the Revolutionary atmosphere. One Sunday while the English soldiers were in this section Of the country they happened to be passing this same old church while service was going on. Through the windows they could see the minister, who incidentally was a native or Stratford. Just for a lark a soldier fired a shot which just missed the minister's head and imbedded itself in the sounding board in back of him. Of course thee congregation became very much afraid, but in a calm tone the preacher said, Be not afraid or him who kills your body but rather be afraid of him who would kill your soul and body" The present minis ter will recite this and other tales of daring bravery connected with the Bedding district, for the benefit of the Girl Scouts On Sunday.

SiXty-two little girls of Lordship and Stratford, will enjoy life to its fullest extent during this week and next. at Camp Howell on Sunset Hill in the heart of the hills at Bedding Ridge. The campers are members Of three troops of Girl Scouts from Stratford and Lordship. and are un- der the leadership of Mrs. Richard Howell.
 The troops encamped last Monday. and already are quite at home in their new surroundings.
 The camping ground comprised or 20 acres of high, dry. and wooded land, which was leased by Mir. and Mrs. Howell for period of five years with an option of buying the property at the end of that time if they care to do so. Yesterday was of newspaper people from Bridgeport were the guests at the camp. The entire sixty-two girls assisted Mrs Howell in showing the visitors around the miniature Scout village.
 At a certain point in the state road to Danbury, huge banner hung high desfgnates the main road to the camp and about fifty feet down this wodden bridge over a r1pplipg brook which is really the front door to the camp. The camp road is called Stratford avenue, while the most
  priately called Main street.
 The village contained twenty-nfne tents. with varied capacity, two huts, headuarters. com missiary, and a kitchen. The tents are each desig- mated in two ways, first by the let ters of the alphabet by which Mrs. Howell may identify them, and sec ond by the names given by the oc- cupants- The latter titles are both clever and humorous Among the Inn, ''The Love Nest'', Shady Rest and Full O. Pep.' The camp in which the troops biggest gigler hunks" is called '"Try and Sleep entrance has been the reason for an- other domicile to be termed Dizzy Alley.''
 The care of each camp is left en- tirely to it's occupants. If it is their wish that the site should be untidy but the occupants will suffer when a mark of 40 or 50 for untidiness is placed opposite their names after camp inspection each morning by Mrs. Howell. If any article such as a tooth brush, a bar of soap, a neck cord, kife or whistle should be lost fhe finder immediately turn it over to Mrs. Howell who demands a forfeit of five cents from the loser to impress upon her the necessity of keeping forfeit money Mrs. Howell purchases Hershey bars for the girls for evening canteen.
 The road from which all the trails start is known as Garfield land in honor of George Henry Garfield, wlo O club and who tells camp fire stories to the girls each evening.

INDIANA MINES
 CAN BE WORKED


 Staunton, Ind, Aug. 11-With the movement of coal which has been lying on top of the shafts taken over by the state, well under way, officials today were endavoring to secure steam shovel operators, in order to begin the digging of coal at the strip mines.
 A small supply piled near the mines, part of which was moved yes- terday, was dug by union workers be- fore the strike and will soon be ex- hausted. Six cars were loaded yes- terday and shipped to state institu- tions. The force of workmen at the mines still is insufficient to obtain quantity production.
 Although quiet reigned Tn the mar tial law area, disorders were reported early today at the w. F. Wagner mine near Terre Haute, where attempts to dynamite the shaft were frustrated by county officials. Several sticks of dynamite had been exploded near the month of the mine, before the arrival of the auth critics.
