FRANK EDWARD JOHNSON
GIVES ILLUSTRATED LECTURE
FeIIs of His Experiences in Tunis on
Different Occasions.

There was considerable interest in
the illustrated lecture on Arab life in
Tunisia by Frank Edward Johnson of
this city at Trinity congregational
church, Gloucester. Mass, Wednesday
evening. Since Mr.. Johnson recently
met with a serious accident by an acct
dental shooting of his hand, many in
./quiries were made to whether this
would interfere with the lecture, but
the event took place as advertised. Al
though Mr.. Johnson sustained a severe
wound to his hand, he is rapidly inn
pro wing.
1t may not be generally known tina t
Mr.. Johnson has toured these peculiar
Baraoary states probably no other
man having been both in Tunisia and
Tripoli several times in search of sub
jects for his work as an artist. He
has had the advantage of going into
many places where few foreigners are
allowed. This fact is illustrated by
one incident in particular which oc-
CURED in May last, when Mr.. johnson
was arrested for pursuing his work ia
Tripoi, as told at the time.
Regarding this incident, the De-
peche Tunisienne of May T. 1910, con-
tains the following article:
An American tourist, Mr.. Johnson,
very well known in Tunfs. where he
has spsnt a long time. was yesterday
arrested while sketching the minaret
of the Grand Mosque of Tripoli. The
police seized him and dragged him to
the commissioner, and on the way beat
him severely, being aided in this des-
picable business by an excited mob.
The dragonlan of the American con-
sulate, having tried to interfere, was
also beaten. The United States con-
sui. upon hearing Of the incident i'm
mediateIy went to the governors resi-
dence and procured the release of his
compatriot.
THE governor general apologized for
the incident and promised satisfaction.
A great deal of excitement reigned in
the city among the European popula
ton, where Mr.. Johnson counted many
friends. A few days later these police
officers were publicly degraded from
their rank in pun ishnl ert for their NAL
treatment Of Mr.. Johnson"
AS may be readily understood the
reason for this incident is that Tripoli
of Barbary, which belongs to Turkey.
has not been very friendly to foreign
ers and very few Americans dare to go
them most inviting in subjects for their
work. In Tunis, where Mr. Johnson
remained so long, the French govern
ment insists upon good treatment.
The lecture was for the benefit of
the Home Missionary department of
the Won1an's associa ton at that
church. The great beauty and variety
of the pictures. the many thrilling in
cidents in Mr.. Johnson's career and the
fact that he is now resident of GIou-
-cester and her people are privileged
to see these valuable pictures before
being exhibited elsewhere united in
producing a unique interest in the
event and brought out a good attend
ance.
