give up his beautiful home on Euclid

declared. by his devotion to the af
fairs of the estate of his dead brother
Albert, who was heavily interested In
traction properties in the East.
The Municipal Traction company.
of which Mayor Johnson was presi
dent, passed into the hands of re
ceivers in the federal court several
days ago. Following this came the
transfer to two local banks of the De
positors Savings and Trust company
of which the mayor was president. II
Is said this action was precipitated by
the threats of Mr.. Johnson's individual
creditors to file suits to obtain pay
