Washington.—President Wilson Fri day requested the Immediate resig nation of Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Atlanta negro who has been recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia for the past four or five years. The action of the president in calling (<S the immediate resignation of the .John son negro is the result of the efforts of Senator Hoke Smith and other Southerners to rid the government of service of negro office holders, who came in under the republican rule. The Georgia senator has had several Interviews with the president about the removal of Johnson. The president’s request for his, Im mediate resignation came as a com plete surprise to Johnson, who has rested contentedly in the belief that he would hold the office indefinitely, owing to the fact that Northern demo crats were insisting that he should not he removed unless another negro was appointed to succeed to the va cancy. Johnson was at the capitol Friday, following the receipt of the president’s request, and expressed a desire to hold the office for a few days longer that he might gather up the "loose ends” of his personal affairs. He received no encouragement at the capitol, how ever, and unless he tenders his resig nation immediately It is expected that the president will remove- him. Johnson was appointed by Presi dent Taft, on the recommendation of Frank H. Hitchcock, the republican headsman in the last administration, as a reward for services rendered to Taft in Georgia.
