CHARGES FALL FLAT
Hcnry Lincoln johnson, Recorder of
Deeds or Washington, Didn't 10
it, Finds Department of


Atlanta, Ga, March 2S.-It is cur
rently reported here that the charg IS
that have been filed with the DEPART
ment of Justice, at Washington,
charging Henry Lincoln Johnson, re-
corder of deeds for the District Of
Columbia, with assessing oficeholders,
VIII not amount to a thing. Postmas-
ter Mckee, of this city, was one f.
the men who complained. The
charges have been investigated by at
taches of the Department of Justics
and 1t is said that they will recon-
mend that Mr.. JohnsCn is blameless.
The charges grew out of, the recent
State Republican Convention, which
declared for Taft and elected dele
gates-at-large. This convention cost
over $1,000. and Recorder Johnson ia
said to have contributed $500 out of
ms own pocket toward the expenses
or the convention. Postmaster Me-
kee, who is said to have been partly
responsible for the charges, draws a
salary of $4,000 year and is regard
ed as somewhat hostile to Johnson's
leadership.
Mr.. Johnson is now in the city Look
ing after his private interests and
arranging for three district conven-
lions, which will be held in the nea:'
future. 1t is expected that he will
line up these conventions for NJ.
