WASHINGTON Promotion of home ownership through a reduc- tion in cash requirements was sug gested by President Hoover in an address which opened the Presi dents conference on home build ing and ownership. Mir. Hoover em- phasized the financial factor in- Volved in home ownership as more important than any other phase all though he gave regard to the prob lems of community planning and like activities. He pointed out that investors can obtain abundant and mobile finance" for 50 per cent of the cost of the first mort gage. "Our chief problem in if nance relates to those who have an earnest desire for a home, who have a job and therefore possess a sound character, but whose ini- tial resources run to only 20 to 25 per cent, the President declar- ed, land these people would will ingly work and apply all their saw ings to gain for themselves this in- dependence. It is to help workers of this class primarily that the pres ent conference was called.'

SAN FRANCISCO While Gov ernor James Rolph, Jr. has given no intimation of his attitude the belief is general that T. J. Mooney convicted of participation in the 1916 San Francisco Preparedness Day Parade outrage, will be par doned as a result of the hearing in which executive clemency was urged by Mayor James Walker of New York and others. Governor Rolph believes it will take at least three months to make a complete study of the case. Meanwhile, May or Walker let it be known that he will not stop in Los Angeles on his way home, thus evading the pos sibility of a snub prepared for him by Mayor J. c. Porter of that city.

FOUR OF MACK'S BIG
SHOTS ARE IN LINE

Foxx Have Signed for 1881,
Friends Say.

PHILADELPHIA, January III (R).-
Four of the big shots with the cham
pion Philadelphia Athletics have con-
flded to friends that they have signed
playing contracts for 1881. They are
Lefty Grove, George Earnshaw, Gordon
Cochrane and Jimmy Foxx.
The status Of AL Simmons, the re-
manning big shot of the ensemble, is
different. Before leaving for Florida
last week Manager Connie Mack said
contract would rot be sent to Simmons,
but that he would meet his star sticker
later and discuss salary. Simmons will
train according to his own ideas at Hot
Springs and probably will not be with
the team in Florida. Last year he did
not sign until batting practice for the
opening game with the Yankees was
under way.
Simmons led the American League
in batting last year.
