New Realty License
Denied SchIein After
Usurious Loan Case

Renewal of the real estate license
Of Maurice I. Schlein, head of the
Federal Finance 81 Realty Co., 915
New York avenue NV, has been
refused by the District Real Estate
Commission, it was learned today.
The commission refused to renew
the permit on the ground he was
guilty Of making a 'usurious" $500
loan to Mrs. Mamie Smith, 1917
Eleventh street NV, and her two
daughters and then auctioning off
the Maryland property used as Sc
curity for the loan when they missed
two of their $12-a-month payments.
Purchased for $500.
A representative of his company
purchased the property for $500 at
the auction 'for the benefit of the
broker, the commission found.
District Court already had awarded
damages to the Smiths and said,
in it's opinion, the broker had prac-
ticed fraud gross in nature, prac-
ticed wilfully and oppressively upon
untutored, trusting victims"
The transaction involved took
place in 1888, but the case was
not completed until early this year.
Another License Revoked.
At the same time, it was learned,
the commission has revoked the Ii
cense of Everett j. Moss, a colored
real estate broker, whose Office ad-
dress is listed as 225 H street NE,

to remit money paid him by Earl
