NeighbOrhOOd Quarrel al
lows Negroes to Buy in Ex-
elusive N. Y. District.

New York. N. Y. Oct. 14.-Dr. Ju-
Illus Schlein of 3S2 Union street,
Brooklyn, was prevented recently
from constructing driveway through
his courtyard to connect garage
that had been built into the base
ment with the roadway in front of
the house. Court actions and word
wars figured in the interference by
other property owners along the
block, the arguments being that IL
was one of the most exclusive in the
neighborhood and that located on. it
were the homes of some of Brooklyn's
leading physicians and surgeons. with
sentiment against him, DR.. Schlein
has attacked the matter from a new
angle. He has advertised his home
for sale to Negroes.
The advertisement appeared Fri
day in Brooklyn newspapers, and all
ready there have been prospective
purchasers on the ground to look
over the Schlein home. The physician
intends to move to house at Clin-
blocks away.
AS result, of the threatened in
vasion OF the block by Negroes, other
property owners there including al

planned that so far back as 1851 the
Legislature ruled that the old Ber-
gen estate on which the property is
located should be cut up so the city
should own permanently all the
ground included in the front court
yards. They based their fight against
the automobile driveway upon this
act and were successful in preventing
the physician from making use of the
garage. DR.. Schlein. however, de-
clared his neighbors were trying to
get rid of him.
DR.. Sylvester ]. Mcnamara of s6s
Union street said yesterday that no
one on the. block cared where DR..
Schlein lived.

Ku Klux KIan is Big Feature
in U. c. v. Parade in Houston

Houston, Texas. Oct 1.-THE
great street parade of the confederate
veterans held in Houston last week
contained among other features
Klu K1u Klan and a huge float with
inscriptions calculated seemingly to
create a sinister impression upon
those who in former days, suffered
most from its practices.
Some. idea Of the way in which It
was taken may be gained from the
in leading daily of Dallas.
The account is in part as follows:
Most of the Confederate officers
who rode in the parade sat on
of old. They were "in the saddle"
once more as typical Conferate caval-
rymen. There were flashes of the
days when they were dashing horse
men of the Forrest type.
Several Negroes In Parade.
There were several old Negroes
with the marchers, some on foot and
others looking condescendingly at
common common niggers" from lsathered
sines. They were faithful body SER
wants to ''old" marse" during the
trials of the war and never deserted
their young masters when death and
carnage stalled abroad
One old Negro, all bedecked in a
gray uniform with huge sash and
baldric of red. held two chickens
aloft and yelled the while. He was
illustrating how he used to forage
for his masters mess table during
the time the young master was fight
ing the 'YanlSs This spectacle pro-
voked many cheer.
Ku I<Iux KIan in Line.
A distinctive feature of the parade
was the long line of Ku Ilux Klan
in the terror-strilxing .garb of the
fear into the souls of Negroes and
vantage of the stricken South and
mounted and others afoot. They were
garbed in long white flowing robes
with masks and headgear of white,
but completely disguised. 1t was so
striking, so realistic and so awing
that many Negroes along the streets
were seen to disappear. 1t was an
awful tradition with many of them.
In the center of the Ku Klux Klan
there was huge float of white, on
which there were guards Of the khan
and stern Judge who tried the Of
tenders. He wore q mask of hideous
design and a flowing robe of silk.
His very appearance, a replica of the
olden days, was enough to lrive ter
ror into the souls of any accused
brought before him. The float was
preceded by a banner reading: I'VE
were here yesterday, 1866" Another
placard read: 1--WE are here today
1920" and a third brought the stir
ring and deterring advice that I'VE
will be here forever"
The Dallas express. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1893-1970, 1920-10-16

When asked about the advertise
ment for Negro buyers which DR..
Schlein has caused to be published.
DR.. Mcnamara said:
ITO the persons imbued with the
proper human qualities the color of
ones skin is of secondary consider
alton"
at 405 Union street Is directly across
the street from that of DIR. Schlein,
said that as for the prospective entry
of the Negro buyers he would rath-
block than persons who have con-
tempt for the law. ..
Among the other physicians on the
block are Walter Stevin, Louis Dus-
seldorf, Walter Pierson. w. j. Camp
