KUI'KIUOn, Wis., July 20.
(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.

BAN ANTONIO, Tex., July 20.
(AP) Tho skies, which a week
ago dashed Captain Emlllo Carran
za to the earth and to death, today
wept flowers on his funeral cortege
as his body paused In Han Antonio
to receive the final gesture of
friendship and sympathy which this
country will offer before the fun
eral train reachea the Mexican bor
der. A flying guard of honor com
potted of the army's fighting air
phmen met the train at New Braun
feN, Texas, 30 miles north of hero
and escorted it to Kan Antonio. At
th; city limits the last flight of
the formation swept down In a
long graceful curve to shower the
coach in which the body rested,
with manses of native Texas flow
ers. An eleven gun salute, accord
ed brigadier-generals, was fired by
the Fifteenth Field Artillery as the
train entered tho depot. The Mexi
can government gave Captuln Car
r.'ttiza tho rank of brigadier after
his death.
Among Own People
At the depot the flier was amon?
his own people again for tho flrat
tlmo since ho crossed the border cn
his ill-fated good-will flight to this
country, for the International and
Great Northern depot here is in the
heart of the Mexican district.
Thousands of Mexicans were gath
ered' about the train-shed and lined
in solid ranks all along tho route
of march.
The entire Second division, with
detachments of the Texas nation
al guard, was drawn up as the
body was carried to the famous
old caisson which for fifty years
has been used in military funerals
here. The casket was lashed to the
cun carriage with the same heavy

As the caisson moved out toward
the municipal auditorium Mexican
women from second floor balconies
along the route of march showered
It with branches of crepe myrtle
lilies and other flowers.
Six coal black horsea drew the
gun carriage "and a seventh, black

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaK,
July 2U. (AP) Herbert Hoover,
the first resident of the Pacific
coast to carry the standard of a
great political party, returned to
day to California to receive formal
notification of his selection as the
Republican presidential candidate,
It was a quiet homecoming, the
death of Mrs. Hoover's father, C. v.
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.
Train Arrives Early '
i Circling San Francisco hay after
it reached Oakland, the Hoover
special train, six days out from
Washington, picked up speed to
Palo Alto, arriving fifteen minutes
ahead of time. Mr. and Mrs. Hoov
er were met at the station by Dr.
Rsy Lyman Wilbur, president of
Stanford university and escorted to
a waiting automobile which got un
der way 1m media tejy for Stanford
with an escort of motorcycle police.
Mrs. Hoover was dressed In black
as she left the train. She was help
ed down to the flatform by Mr.
Hoover and held to his arm during
the, short walk to the automobile.
They faced a battery of cameras on
the way and also during the ride to
their home, but the picture men
were barred from the university
grounds during the funeral services
for Mr. Henry.
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.
