(AI) President Coolldgo hello ex thut an International conference puKslbly to be held In Paris, for the simultaneous signature of all Int-'reHii.-d governments of the ant I-war covenant now under ne gotiation would be very helpful In emphaxlzlng tho Importance of th treaty In th eyes of tho world hy giving the ceremony a suitable scl tlng. Secretary of Slate Kellogg hu Informed Mr. Coolldge of sugg tlons long this line made by v.ti'i nun Kuropeun countries, and whlk hlit d'iurtmont bun the mutter un der consideration no final decision as to Its acceptance or rejection hu been reached. President Coolldgc, however, Is lifllurd to think that In view of the greut Importance which the pact huH assumed and the cordial ity with which Hecrotary Kelloirs's latent proposed draft of It has ueun received by tho g content powers, a Holonui ceremony at lta conclusion would greatly enhance- Its prcfitlKi besides actually facilitating the procesM of ufflxing the uecusiiury nlgnutures. American Dm ft Pleases President Coolldgo would not be opposed to such a conference tak ing place In Purls or tn any other European capital sooner than in Washington, Inasmuch as ho real izes that lho American city Is much further from the capitals of most of the signatory powers than any European center would be. For this reason Washlpjcton haa never been suggested as the seat of such a gathering. President Coolldgo he been kept Informed of the gratifying manner In which acceptances of tho Ameri can draft of the treaty have been reaching the state department from the chief countries Involved and from many of the smaller ones as well. The draft proposal which was sent by Secretary Kellogg to four teen of the chief European and Aiat lc powers, would bind the sig natory countries to renunciation of war "as an instrument of national nulley" and would hold them to a pacific settlement of all future dif ferences between them.

Heriry, wealthy banker, having made necessary the cancelling of the celebrations which the people of San Francisco and Palo Alto, ThJ university town, had planned In his honor. j Within a few hours after they reached their home on the rolling hill overlooking the university cam pus, Mr and Mrs. Hoover attended the funeral services for Mr. Henry at Stanford chapel. These were conducted by Dr. A. T. Murray, a Quaker elder. In the presence of only the family and immediate friends. After the services the body was taken to Cypress Lawn cemetery, far out from Palo Alto, for crema tion, in accordance with a- request made by the aged banker Just be fore his death at a sanitarium near Placervllle, Calif., last Monday night.

Upon arriving home Mrs. Hoover was met by her sister, Mrs. Jean Henry Large and soon afterward she went to her father's old room fo look upon his face for the last time. Later the casket was moved to the chapel where the services were held at 2 p. m. Quiet Week-end Planned Immediately after the services Mr. and Mrs. Hoover returned home to spend a quiet week-end with their son Allan, who joined them on their train at Oakland, and Mrs. Large. The candidate denied himself to political leaders, but early next week he will begin a series of conferences with those from the west coast states, among the first he will see will be Gover nor C C. Voung. and Senator Hi ram Johnson of California. When the Hoover special reached the Palo Alto station only a single banner, bearing the Inscription, "Welcome Home Hoover," remain ed of the elaborate decorations which had been put up all over the town In anticipation of the home coming. At the request of the nom inee all decorations were removea two days ago and there was no demonstration at the station. Although authorities had asked the townfolk to remain away from the station at the time of the train's arrival, a small crowd was on hand and those composing It stood at re spectful attention while Mr. and Mrs. Hoover were escorted to their automobile. Both Palo Alto and San Francisco will formally wel come California's distinguished son as will the city of Los Angeles when he starts back to the East, several days after his notification, August 11.
