Wllhur, of California, Mr. Coolidge turned to the Atlantic seaboard for Ids attorney general and in Mr. Stone chose a present resident of New York City and a former New England farm hoy. Mr. Wilbur was drawn from Cali fornia's supreme court, and Mr. Stone Is being taken from a law school, and active practice. The president selected Sir. Stone be cause he has known him for 30 years and has confidence In him ; because he regards the New York man as pos sessing the desired qualities of thor ough legal knowledge and administra tive capacity and because he looks upon the Columbia dean as a "$100,000 am»-willing, for prrtrtotitf rertstms, to accept a $12,000 job." Mr. Coolidge chose Mr. Stone from a list of six and summoned him to Washington. Arriving in Washington on an early train Tuesday, Mr. Stone and the president were In conference before most of Washington was awake, and before 8 o'clock the president had tendered Mr. S ton e the portfolio and the New York man had accepted.

Canfield & Stone. The prospective attorney general Is 52 years old and was born on a farm near Chesterfield. N. H., the son of what Secretary Weeks described as a "tight-fisted, thrifty New Hamp shire farmer." HJs brother was Dr. Winthrop E. Stone, president of Purdue university of Indiana, who was killed two years ago while mountain climbing In the Canadian Rockies.

In addition to his duties at Colum bia. where he became dean of law after having been lecturer and professor, and to his law practice. Mr. Stonè has engaged In business and Is a director of the Atlanta & Charlotte Air Line Railroad and several other corporations. The names of Mr^ Stone and Chief Justice Arthur H. Rugg of the Massa chusetts supreme judicial court have been the two most prominently consid ered by the president from the time of the retirement of Harry M. Daugh erty, and decision finally was made on Mr. Stone because of the executive's feeling that Massachusetts already had more than her share of high federal officers. .
