came to the police station early this
morning to have his wounds dressed His
face was cut, his body bruised and his

N..--e at the police station the officers
say that Crown persstently refused to
tell how and where he was assaulted
and by whom While at the hospital to-
day he has likewise refused TO give any
information to the police.
The impression prevails that Crown
has been assaulted and possibly severely
injured, possibly for life. by gamblers

MR.. JOHNSON OUT
AS HEAD OFFICER.
He Retires from Presidency of
Publishing Company.
OTHER INTERESTS NEED Him
OTHER INTERESTS NEED HIM
He VIII Give His Time and Attention to
These, Now That the Big Concern
is on Firm and Grow,
ing Basis.

Mr.. b. T. Johnson has resigned the
presidency of the B. +. johnson Pub
fishing Company, founded by him some
years ago. and will devote himself TO
d, special line OF work in which he has
been for some time deeply Interested.
The announcement was made yeSter-
day afternoons, and occasioned general
surprise. Mr.. Johnson does not relin-
quish his interest in the business. and
Will continue 10 have a voice in its man
asement but Will devote the greater
part OF his time and energy 20 other
growing interests.
The B. F. Johnson Publishing Com
pany was organized about six years ago
by Mr.. johnson, who had been for many
years successfully engaged in the book
and publishing business It's success
and growth have been phenomenal. It
has a capital stock OF one and a quar-
big business in furnishing school books
ter million dollars. and besides doing a
big business in furnishing school books
throughout the South it has received u
number Of large orders from foreign
countries.
NOT AFFECT THE COMPANY.
DR.. Edward Leigh Pell. secretary of
the Johnson company when seen about
the matter. said the resignation would
in no way affect the interests Of the
company. owing 10 the fact that Mr.
Johnson had become identified with so
MANY enterprises, and had accepted so
,rany positions OF trust that he had
some time ago found il impossible to
give the attention TO the business which
its magnitude required. and had grad
,,ally turned over the mana cement Of
The house to his brother officers, mainly
the treasurer, Mr.. James D. Crump.
.As a matter of fact said Mr.. Pell,
MIR. Crump has been practically the
manager of the company for a year or
more If Mr.. Johnsonis resignation is
accepted-and his action in the matter
is understood TO be flnal-his friends
Mil OF course deeply regret TO give
him up: but they have known Tor
good while that Mr.. Johnson mad un-
dertaken to manage more ci1ereht en-
terprises than any one man coulo pos
sbly attend to. and that IT Was o1'is
a question of time when he 5"o0io i.s nay :,
10 resign some of his numerous respon-
Shilities.
In speaking of his resignation Mr.
Johnson said it meant simply that he
had severed his official connection with
the company ard not that he had DIS
posed Of his interest in it. II am just
as confident to-day he said. "of the
substantial and permanent prosperity
Of the house as / have ever been, and
would not care to dispose of a single
share Of my stock at any price | have
interests in other directions which re
quire my attention, and L have deter
mined 10 throw aside everything else
and to give every moment OF my time
for the next two or three years to their
Development
HAS MADE GOOD PROGRESS.
DR.. Pcll. who has been all his life
identified with publishing interests. and
who is as familiar with The affairs OF
che Johnson Company as any one else,
