Hemenway Declines Post.

Former Senator James A. Hemenway of Indiana has been tendered by President Taft the position of United States minister to China, but Mr. Hemenway yesterday decided not to accept. The place pays $17,500 a year, and was formerly held by Charles Denby, an Indiana man. Mr. Hemenway at present is employed by the appropriations committee on the task of trying to find certain revenue leaks. He receives the same salary as he did while senator.
