FRANK JOHNSON
! HURLS EPIThET
At CITY MAYOR


Following a tussle with Mayor c.
p. Skinner, Frank A. Johnson. aged
IS. 71s Twelfth street, entered a
plea Of guilty to disorderly con-
duct charge against him. The
city's chief executive was the re-
cipient Of some vile epithets from
Johnson.
The trouble began when the may
or questioned Johnson about the
ownership of q house at Seventh
avenue and Fourteenth street City
officials had Investigated the build
ing and recommended changes
which were necessary for safety
purposes.
1t is understood that Johnson is
agent for the house. According to
Mayor Skinner, he asked the agent
in polite manner who was the
owner Of the house. Johnson de-
clined to tell him, and told the
mayor to find out for himself"
At the time of the discussion,
Johnson was employed by the city
street department and the mayor
pointed out that q city employe
should aid the city. 1t is said that
Johnson became angry and very
abusive.
The mans language caused the
mayer to place him under arrest.
He resisted, but with the aid of Os-
car Abraham, superintendent OF
the street department, was taken
to the police station. He was fined
