Brownsville Police Chief Says
Department Will Unmask
Some Marchers

Rumors of an approaching Ku KluS
Klan parade. tipped to start in
Brownsville that very night, occur.
red on several evenings during the
past week. Little knots Of expect
ant spectators gathered here apd
there awaiting the hour, which some
said would be ten, others eleven, and
still others at midnight. When the
latter drew on, however, the hard
lest holdouts finally went to bed,
not q vestige of a sheeted figure,
hooded head or fiery cross having
ms yet materialized.
Chief Of Police Linton on one oc-
casion during an interval of watch
full waiting declared that unless per-
mission is granted no masked par
ade would make any headway in
town without his department find
ing out who some OF the paraders
were, at least. While making no
threats in advance, there was a
quiet note Of confidence in the
chiefs manner as he made this mo-
dest statement that carried oonvic-
tion to his hearers that the promise
would be made good.
Chief Linton was non-commital
when interogated on ways and
means Of identifying the prospec-
tive marchers. Citing the recent
clash at Lorena. which resulted in
the wounding of the sheriff and
others when the officer attempted
to interfere with the mystic pro-
cession. Chief Linton said:
THAT case was altogether diff
fcrent from what would take place
here. Lorena wanted the Ku Klux
Klan. The sheriff ought to have
realized that and acted accordingly.
Brownsville does not want the Ku
Klux Klan. There il law against
any parade which marches in secret
and does not first obtain official per-
mission. If any persons start a
masked parade here some Of the pec-
pie in it are going to have their iden-
tity revealed"
