Senator Hoar Is the Choice of the
President
BOSTON, Aug. 26.-The Journals WASH
ington correspondent says:
II George F. Hoar will consent to accept
an appointment as Ambassador at the
Court of St. James, the appointment will
probably be made.
The President Is seriously thinking Of
asking the senior Senator from Massac1au-
setAs to take the place which will soon be
vacated by Ambassador Hay, and he is re-
strained only because of a reluctance to re-
move Senator Hoar from the position he
now holds. 1t is hardly believed Senator
Hoar will be willing to abandon the Senate
after so many years, In order to enter upon
a diplomatic career, involving the forma-
ton of new ties and acceptance Of strange
conditions. but the President has thought
that he would be the ideal American rep
resentative In London at the time when
the relations between the United States
and Great Britain have become so close
and the duties Of Ambassador are to be
peculiarly delicate and important.
Senator Hoar is the one American who,
without great wealth, could maintain the
prestige of an Ambassado In London, for
he is almost the only American who is so
well known and highly regarded that he
could safely live as he liked The one thing
which causes the President to hesitate is
that he has not already sounded the Sena-
tor on the subject and is unwilling to take
him out Of the Senate.

According to the statement OF Mrs. stella
Judson, who resides In the vicinity OF I'll

INSCRIPTIONS fellow named J. M. Price,

represented himself as being hay and
grain commission merchant of this city,
with an office at 237 West First street. He
represented to her that he had big con-
tract for hay and was DESTROYS OF filling
1t, and offered to take all the alfalfa hay
she had on hand. She consented to let him
have seventeen tons of the value OF $2SS
Price expressed himself as being very
grateful and said he would send his agents
on the following day to haul the hay 70
Los Angeles.
Three men appeared with wagon at her
place the next day, as promised, and re-
moved the hay. Mrs. Judson naturally
felt pleased over having disposed Of the'hay
at such an excellent figure, and waited
eagerly for the remittance. 1t failed to ap-
pear, and she came to the city. searching
for the commission man. She soon dis
covered that there was no such place on
West First street as Price had named and
that she had evidently been buncoed. She
reported the matter to the police, and
complaints were sworn out against Price,
Charles McComb, M. v. Howard and
George e. Dial, charging them with having
obtained property under false pretenses.
The last three men are thought TO have
been the crew that hauled the hay from
Mrs. Judson's place.
The detectives succeeded In arresting
the trio, but were unable to find any trace
Of Price. who is believed to have left the

they failed to maintain their speed owing
