Colonel Breckenridge Calls
Rifle Tragedy Accident

Col. Henry Breckenridge, ad-
visor to Col. Charles Lindbergh
and Assistant Secretary of War in
the Wilson Administration, today
declared he was satisfied his 49,
year-old daughter, Louise, whose
body was found near her home
in Bethesda last night, a bullet
wound in the breast, was &C
cidentally shot.
Colonel Breckinridge, who is
divorced from the dead girls
mother, rushed here last night
when he received word of the
tragedy.
The girl, a social favorite and a
sophomore at Vassar, was in the
habit of taking walks with her
dogs and gun, Colonel Breckin-
ridge said, and he believes she
tripped and fell, the gun going
off.
Police Hold Same View
This is the opinion held by
Montgomery county police, who
were assigned to investigate the
death of the girl,
Miss Breckinridge's body was
found by the mother, who became
hysterical and was placed under
doctors care. The Breckenridge
residence is in the 1000 block
Hampden Lane, Bethesda.
Miss Elizabeth Breckenridge, an
older sister, told police the girl
went out for walk about 6 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, taking her
dogs and her small single shot
rifle.
An ardent sportswoman, Miss
Breckenridge was fond of shooting,
the sister said, and was adept
with gun.
When the daughter failed to re-
turn home for dinner, the mother
became alarmed and about 8
o'clock started out to search for
her, finding her body a few min
utes later. Her screams ATTRACTED
neighbors who called police.
round Lying on Face
The girl was lying face down,
her dress blackened by powder
from the weapon. One shoe was
torn off.
Reconstructing the accident,
police said they believed she was
climbing over the fence, slipped
and fell, the weapon being dis
charged. The shoe was torn off
as she fell or as she was writhing
in death agony, they said they be
lieved.
DR.. B. D. Perry, acting coroner,
and County Policemen Robert
Phillips and James S. McAuliffe
declared death was accidental.

INCORPORATION UNCOVERED

The widely advertised self-helr
corporation by which the Dis
trict's relief problems will be put
on a partly self-supporting basis
is expected to be a legal entity
by Monday when the corporation
papers will be filed in a county
court in Delaware.
The papers were finished today
by Elwood Seal, assistant corpora
ton counsel, who had the assist
ance of Ernest o. Paland cor
poration expert.
After being approved by the
legal experts of the Federal Emer'
gency Relief Administration, the
papers will be signed and sent on
to Delaware.
It was necessary to pick out
Delaware for the incorporation
because of the peculiar require
ments of the FERA which is go
ing to advance $4,000 of Federal
money and take the stock Of
the corporation.
The corporation laws of the
District of Columbia do not per-
NIT the formation of eractly the
type of corporation the FERA
required.
When the papers are in order
they will be signed by five trus'
tees who will be owners of the
new corporation, and constitute
the Board of Directors.
These are Lawrence WeStbrook
and ]. Phil Campbell, of the
FERA, and Elwood Seal, assistant

There was considerable con-
sternation among officials of the
Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing today when a paSserby dis
covered a tombstone and frag'
ments of three others lying on
the Bureaus grounds.
The grave markers, believed to
have been the tombstones of
Civil War veterans, were dug up
almost three months ago by
workmen constructing a wall in
front of the Bureau on Four
teenth Street Northwest.
They have lain unobserved in a
dirt pile near the wall ever since
they were discovered, and were
removed today by order of Of
ficials, after a reporter went
down to look them over.
Marked with numbers, the
mems names, and their states,
the tombstones have legends as
follows: 285, w. S. Harlow, Mass;
4, F. Bollardson, N. Y, and 623,
H. H. Friedsburg, Wise. A fourth
fragment bears only the number
$40.
It is thought that the tomb
stones are remanants of the old
st. Patrick's Cemetery, which
was torn up about half a cen
tury ago and the soil used to
make land in the area of the
Bureau.
