PRESIDENT HARDING's VISIT

II was a cordial greeting that President Har-
a;ns reco;ved in this city yesterday. Without
any announcement of his coming and II not oe-
ing known definitely until an hour or two before
he arrived that he was to pass through mere q
all, a large number of persons gathered at inc
ferry where, for once they were glad OF a delay
in the departure of the boat.
while there was no particular demonstration
for the President, the enthusiasm was not iacN-
ing. The President made an excellent impress
sion: his democratic manner and the freedom
with which he met and greeted those VINO
crowded about his car fully upheld the reputa-
ton which he enjoys. .
Mrs Harding. too, was most charming ana
gracious during her short stay here greatly IN
creasing her host of admirers
Tn fact. President and Mrs. Harding are max
,ne for themselves a warm place in the hearts
Of every American. They have accepted thei'
.xo,ted nosition in the true American way; they
continue to be "just folks and are not atra'o
to rub elbows with their fellow citizens even
though they do occupy the White House.
There were many doubts and missiVlhss

!dency, but as time has passed he mas surpri'e'

OF U. S. DETECTIVES
New Yorker to Reorganize All
Federal Activities for I'm

Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
n Aur


Washington, ID. c.. Aug. is.
The appointment of William J. Burns.
New York detective, as head of the
bureau of investigation of the Depart
ment II Justice. announced to-day by
At rney-General Daugherty, is the fore
runner of a complete reorganization, and
possibly a consolidation of all the Gov
ernment's law enforcement bureaus and
investigating agencies.
Mr. Burns advised Attorney-Generas
Daugherty that he will be in Washington
Saturday to begin the work OF reor-
ganization According to the Attorney
General, Mr. Burns's first task will be
to rebuild the bureau of investigation
and place it on the highest plane OF
efficiency.
Mr.. Daugherty has discussed with the
President a plan to amalgamate all the
different groups of special agents
scattered about through the Government
service and now attached Independently
to the several departments.
He would combine these agencies and
make them a part of the free organized
bureau within his own department. Mr..
Daugherty said that such a step would
be justified on the ground that 1t would
make possible substantial savings. He
also believed that the law enforcement
machine Of the Government would
thereby become doubly efficient
After Mr.. Burns takes charge as the
successor of William ]. Flynn he will
maintain his headquarters in Washing
ton. Soon after he has conferred with
the Attorney-General 1t is probable that
some official announcement will be made
from the department or possibly the
White House concerning the scheme to
combine all detection activities
Mr.. Daugherty tonight said that be-
fore Mr.. Burns starts for washington he
will take control of the New York branch
of the bureau Of investigation Of the de-
partment and will issue necessary orders
delegating to others whom he may Sc
lect supervision of that branch. Mr.
Burns vii! spend most Of this time in
Washington. according to present plans
Mr.. F'lynn's departure from the Gov
ernment service at this time was not
entirely unexpected. as rumors have been
current that new bureau chief was TO
be named soon. Mr.. Flynn had not
resigned nor had he been asked to re-
sign. The Attorney General merely adj
vised him by wire to-day that his sue
cessor had been selected and then made
public the appointment of Mr.. Burns.
Mr.. Burns has severed his connection
with the Burns Detective Agency and
accepted the new post at salary of
$500 year.
The Governments policy. through the
newly organized bureau to be directed
by Mr.. Burns, will be to Establish more
cordial relations with police officials and
law enforcement officers throughout the
country, and in fact throughout the
world" the Attorney General said.
The Attorney General, in public
statement. paid tribute to Mr. Burns
and his particular fitness at this time
to undertake the work outlined, and he
added:
THE President and I have known Mr..
Burns for thirty years and know his
dependa bility and efficiency"

DOUBT REPORT THAT
HELLER Is MISSING
Towns Near Yellowstone Park
Learn Naturalist Was Seen
i'm Last Few Hours.
PIGEON BRINGS MESSAGE
Guide Is Directed to Start
Search-L0st Man Was an
Experienced Explorer.

The report that Edmund Heller the
lowstone Park. as told in a message
found on the leg of a pigeon which
alighted in Columbus Circle late Wednes-
day night, is doubted in Cheyenne. Wyo..
and in Cody. Wyo.. In the vicinity of the
park. Dispatches from Cheyenne late
yesterday afternoon quoted Horace NJ.
Albright. superintendent of the park. as
saying that IL Heller was lost he had
become so within the last few hours.
Mr.. Albright said that Heller had been
in the park since last Tuesday, and
had been seen daily by the park rang
ers He also said that the naturalist
was in very much frequented portion
OF the park, and that ii would be a
difficult thing for a man to get lost
in the neighborhood OF Hoodoo Peak,
as the place is visited often by rangers
and Is favorite spot for tourists. Mr..
Albright's statements were corrobora ted
by rangers and by the manager of the
4. A. Hoodoo Ranch. near where Heller
was reported to have been lost.
From Cody, Wyo., last night came a
despatch stating that persons there fa-
miliar with the mountains and the park
do not believe Heller has been lost.
although Ned Frost, the guide to whom
message was despatched from New
York directing him to aid Heller. said
that an inexperienced man could get
lost there for a few days. Heller how
ever. is an experienced explorer. In
Cody it is believed that the pigeon
message was a practical joke played by
Heller or by some one else upon Heller.
Officials of the Museum of Natural
History said that 1t was virtually i'm
possible for a pigeon to have flown the
1900 miles from Yellowstone Park to
New York In the time that the Heller
bird was supposed to have done 1t. The
record fight for a full grown carrier
pigeon Is 1,012 miles. and only two of
500 that started completed this fight.
from London to Milan. 1t was also said
by several bird experts yesterday that
the bird which bore the Heller message
was of This years Matching, and would
not have been strong enough to have
made such a fight in such a short time.
At the museum the officials produced
records dating back many years to prove
their contention that such feat could
not have been performed.
Dan Singer, the naturalist at the Ho-
tel Belleclaire, to whom the pigeons
message was addressed, said yesterday
that he did not regard the appearance
of the bird as a joke. He said that
he was really anxious for the safety
of his friend. and that he had received
no word yet from Frost, to whom he
wired, or from Mrs. Heller. who Is sup
posed to be in California.
