One Head considered-Vocatio
Board to Examine System Of

Washington-Presid Harding de-
cided to have an exhaustive investiga-
ton made of the manner in which the
government is caring for disabled war
veterans. Within few days, it was
announced, he will select special
committee to conduct the inquiry.
Abuses to Be Corrected
The President, it was said, is deter
mined to lay the whole situation frank
ly before Congress and the country
for the purpose Of correcting any
abuses that may have developed. The
investigation will be instructed to re-
commend Legislation that may be
necessary to remedy the situation.
Decision to start an inquiry was
reached by the President after he had
conferred with Charles G. Dawes of
Chicago, who served in France as
brigadier general in charge of the divi-
sion of procurement of supplies: F.
w. Galbraith, national commander of
the American Legion; Thomas w. MIL
Ter, custodian, and a former overseas
fier; Assistant Secretary Roosevelt Of
the Navy department and Mr.. Hard
fng's personal physician, Brigadier
General c. E. Sawyer, who is conduct
ing a survey Of the governments pub
lie welfare agencies. All five had
luncheon at the White House and dis
cussed in detail with the President the
soldier relief problem. Later they
went over the situation with General
Pershing at his home here. It was in
dicated that no time would be lost in
getting the inquiry under way.
Legion Plan to BE Studied.
The President has been giving the
war veterans much attention and Is
anxious to have the service improved.
Numerous suggestions have been Of
fered him, chief among them the Amer
Ian Legion plan of placing all service
men in one bureau.
Thorough Investigation of the en-
tire system Of vocational training al
l0wances to disabled war veterans is
to be made by the vocational training
board. Pending the "exhaustive in
quiry and study" proposed, Secretary
Wallace of the department of agricul-
ture, a member of the board. in state.

GAS PENALTY BILL SIGNED

Nevada Law Provides Prisoners Shall

Carson City, Nev.-A bill providing
for the use of lethal gas in executing
the death penalty in Nevada was
signed here by Governor Boyle.
The law calls for a suitable cell for
i1.flicting the penalty where gas is
used and provides that the warden, a
competent physician and six other citi-
zens must witness the execution.
It was planned that when the con-
demned man should be asleep the air
valves would be closed and others,
admitting lethal gas, be opened, life
being taken without the prisoners

JOHN BURROUGHS DEAD
Noted Nature Writer Dies On
Way to Celebrate 81 Birthday.
Famed for His Highly Developed
Power Of Observation Of Animals
and Flowers.

Utica, N. Y.-John Burroughs,
famous naturalist, died on New York
Central train near Kingsville, Ohio, on
his way home from California. He had
been very i'll for six weeks with an
abscess on the chest and heart and
with kidney complications.
He was so eager to get home that
the long journey was undertaken with
the hope that he could survive. The
end came suddenly, a few minutes
after he had asked:
;''How near home are we?'
His physician, DR.. Clara Barrus, his
granddaughter Urusula Burroughs and
the Misses Eleanor and Harriet Bur-
roughs accompanied him on the jour-
ney.
Burroughs, it was said, had hoped to
reach home before April to celebrate
his Saith birthday with old friends. His
SD was celebrated with great gath
ering which included his particular
friends, Henry Ford, H. s. Firestone
and Thomas A. Edison.
The event was to have taken place
at his home in Floral Park, near Pough-
keepsie.
Burroughs was the venerable dean
Of nature writer's in the United States.
Through score of books he shared
with countless readers his lifelong init
macy with birds, bees, flowers and the
whole out Of doors. His highly devel-
oped power of observation and the
charm Of his interpretations were the
marvel of his critics.
His flowing white beard, his kindly
mein, his whole habit of life, and his
literary style were rather reminiscent
of that famous New England school
of essayists generation or two before
him.
