PERRY EXPLAINS DEAL VOL. V. DYER BILL STATUS GIVEN BY JOHNSON; PROSPECTS GOOD Special to The Informer: New York City—James Welden Johnson, secretary of the National Association of People, on his return from Washington, where he conferred with leaders in congress and members of the judiciary and rules committees of the house of representatives, issued a call to the Dyer bill in the present congress and giving its status and prospects. Mr. Johnson declared leaders in the house of representatives felt confident about the Dyer bill in the present congress and giving its status and prospects. The history and present status of the Dyer bill, in the present congress, as on the opening day of congress, was reintroduced by Congressman Dyer and referred to the house committee on the judiciary, and the judiciary committee favored the bill. On January 21 Mr. Dyer introduced a resolution asking for a rule to give the Dyer bill to the house committee. This resolution was referred to the house committee on rules and creation. The committee on rules has not yet acted. A prominent member of the house committee on the Dyer bill had been delayed by other pressing matters before the Dyer bill was approved. Muscle Sholl bill, the immigration bill and the house. Three of these bills had already been disposed of, he said, and the other two would be approved without opposition that as soon as that had been done, colored people should bring all their votes to action for quick action on the bill. "The leaders in house of reorganization feel confident that the Dyer bill will be passed in the house. They feel how, after other pressing matters which might be used as an excuse to retract action, "it is the consensus of opinion that the Dyer bill that the publicity gives the subject on the floor of congress will be the greatest cause for the falling off in the number of lynchings. They come home to the authorities and the people lynching states that if they did not stop government eventually would stop and it stop. The government eventually would stop and it stop. The discussion in this congress will do still more to curb malpractice what action the senate may take." The national office of the N. A.

Every reader of history is familiar with the attitude our government has assumed toward the Indian in this country, and we might say the same thing about the attitude our government has assumed toward the American in this country. Every little school boy or girl has repeatedly heard the stories of how the early settlers of America drove the Indians from place to place, gradually robbing him of the fertile lands of the Atlantic coast, the vast rolling plains of the valley of the "Father of the Earth," and the fertile plains of the West, until finally there was not left one spot upon which the poor Indian—the "native American"—could pitch his tepee and rest in peace. This constant driving and robbing on the part of the white man was accomplished without much bloodshed. History is pregnant with the horrible atrocities committed by both races, as the Indian, although outnumbered, was a constant menace and a wonderfully difficult enemy to subdue. But, as was to be expected, he was finally subdued, hummed in intelligence of abode circumscribed, his coming and going established by law. He is supported now by the federal government, many of them have grown immensely wealthy from the rich deposits of oil found on their reservations. American citizens, yet they contribute nothing to the development of the country's welfare. They toil not, neither do they spin, yet Solomon in all his glory was not the recipient of so much attention, gratitudes and bonuses. Do we envy the Indian—his position? No, not one iota! We would not change places with him one day. But, let us turn the picture; let us note the advent of "Sambo" the king of New Guinea. As it is with the history of the Indian, so it is with that of the Negro: every child has either read or been told of the 20 black shaves—who, without their consent or choice, were landed at Jamestown, just about the same time the Mayflower was unloading its cargo of discouraged, and disheartened home-seekers at Plymouth. Immediately on landing and being landed, the two carpets go busy in the long and bitter struggle of converting the wilderness, which confronted them, into immense plantations of rice and tobao, in one section, and villages and factories in the other. In the same way, the plantations of rice or a Southern aristocrat, has there ever appeared one single line, which would dispute the claim that the poor Negro was and is not responsible for the development of this great Southland. For two hundred odd years he leveled the forests, turned the soil, harvested the crops, while wearing on his ankles the chains of sashery. Doing all the years he was compelled to look upon his women and children debauched and debased before his own eyes, and dared not open his mouth. For the past sixty years, although technically free, he has continued the work of fertilizing and beautifying the vast fields of the South with not only his ankles fettered, but with his wrists flexed, his hands degrigated, discrimination, disfranchisement and debauchery. Not only did the Negro transform the forests and swamps into growing fields, and flourishing villages, but in the struggles to drive out the enemies, whether red or white, he was always to bring him. His blood mingled with that of the Pilgran, Pilgrim and Virginian, on every battle field. The history of the Indian and the Negro is not analogous; for the red man opposed and rebelled against the Aryan race, while the black man endured trying and nerve-racking ordals (and is still being held captive by the white man, I am his him," and the colored brother has been never present help to his white frater in times of trouble. Assuredly, since these deeds are facts and not fiction, this country can make some restitution to the black man for all the wrongs he has done to the white man. I am not but the Informer does not desire to see that done by "benefit programs," "black mammy" monuments and other sentimental movements, but the greatest contribution and service this country can make to "Sambo, Poor Negro," is the exercise and enjoyment of all his constitutional, inalienable and God-given rights, privileges, and rights, even in linkage and for on this hanks not only the prophets and the law, but the proper, fair and just way of making restitution and amends for past mistakes and errors of commission and omission. Uncle Sam, you have done more than a father's part by and to help you, and you have offspring of your own joins, "Sambo, Poor Negro," Selah! THE LUTHER COLLINS CASE The recent re-trial of Luther Collins, local colored youth accused of a criminal outrage upon a white woman in 1922, resulted in a "hung jury," the report leaking out that seven of the jurors stood for acquittal, while the other five remained like adamant for his conviction. The crime charged against Collins, for which he was given the death penalty in 1922, case being later reversed by the appellate court upon the discovery of new evidence, is that he (Collins) forced the white male escort of the woman to lie down, with hands folded across his breast, while the race youth committed a criminal outrage upon the woman. After the trial it was through investigation was made, the Houston branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People becoming interested in the case (as it looked like the race man was being railroaded to the gallows) and much new evidence was gathered and several depositions taken, both from former star witnesses and the plaintiff. The Houston Informer South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper No, no. it was not molly or "prison" that made Alice Yvonne do this, but, in the end, it was the old United States a better place of life for the endless string of brown babies, whose little hands and faces were full of dirt, of dripping dionge of the long, long future. Able counsel was employed and the case has been stubbornly fought and contested, for people of both races realized the physical impossibility of any man committing a criminal outrage upon a woman, holding a man under subjection at the point of a gun during the assault. At the trial last week, some of this new evidence was introduced and it was as plain as day that the accused was more the victim of mistaken identity or "frame-up"; and many doubt if such an attack ever actually occurred. Either Collins is guilty or he is innocent, and it is repugnable that the jurors could not reach an agreement in his last trial; for he has been incarcerated since 1922 and his jail confinement is about to tell on his health, while the suspense is bound to affect him mentally. If he is guilty, he should be legally punished; if innocent, he should be guilty of the offence of his liberty and constitutional rights and guarantees under the circumstances and in view of the testimony at the recent trial, renders the whole affair a travesty upon justice. Our courts were originally established to assure and insure the humblest person a fair, impartial, unbiased and just trial before a judge. He should be guilty of his liberty and adjudges every person brought before the bar innocent until his guilt has been firmly established by testimony from reputable witnesses. But too often in the South the color of a man's skin determines whether or in innocence, while the evidence and testimony are of little consequence. Immediately after Collins had been given the death penalty for his alleged crime, a young youth brutally and heinously attacked a young colored girl en route to her home in the Third Ward from Harrisburg, and no arrest has ever been made nor any indictment against her. The bodies of this county, so far as the Informer has been able to ascertain. Let us turn the tables and make the victim of the "alleged" assault colored and the "assailant" white, with the same "fluky" evidence and testimony, and it does not even require a wise man to prove it. Can't a colored man get a fair and impartial trial in the criminal courts of the South, when his complainant is a member of the white race? Is a colored man to be prosecuted according to law or persecuted on account of his color? Can't you put up the money for defending Collins and the lawyers who conducted the case in such a masterly manner, deserve special praise, and, even though it appears that the youth is being given a raw deal because of his color, rather than any crime, the fight must not be given up at this juncture. If the case is bailable, efforts should be made to get Collins out on trial, if the cannot get a fair and impartial trial here, a change of venue should be sought from the court. ANOTHER BIG CITY BOND ISSUE The mayor and city council have decided that Houston needs to float another million or so dollars in bonds and consequently they have decreed that the voters shall go to the polls on Saturday. We do not know whether the voters think this way or not, but we do know that the colored voters are disgusted and exasperated at supporting and voting for civic improvements through big bond issues and then getting it in the neck after the election is over and then getting it out. During the spring of 1922 a big bond issue was submitted, and when a committee of colored citizens held a conference with the mayor and city commissioners and placed their wants before the city fathers in writing, the city officials made these colored reports and promised assurances and assurances, but same have not been executed yet. For instance, these city officials assured this colored delegation, which had been elected at a previous mass meeting of the tax payers and citizens of color, that Dowling Street would be paved, the city would be given a large park, and by the committee), but from Preston Avenue to Holman Avenue; that storm sewers and all other modern conveniences would be installed on said street. The colored committee also cited the city fathers' attention to the construction of the streets, and colored churches and cemeteries, and was promised in this respect in the event the bond issue carried. Some streets in the colored residential sections of the Third, Fourth and Fifth Wards were decided upon for either gravel or shingle. The mayor and city commissioners would keep their promise and stand by their word that rolled up their sleeves and helped to put over the bond issue. What happened? Two years have elapsed and not only is Dowling Street still unpaved, but it is in worse shape than it has been since the city council votes to "pave Dowling Street." (Smiles.) We have voted blindly and wantonly for every bond issue in Houston since "Jennie rode the crow" and all that we have received in the neck, preceded by a barrel of "promises" and "assurances." When will colored Houstonians wake up and look after their own lives? PERISCOPE By William Pickens. (For the Associated Negro Press.) CHARLOTTE ELIZABETH STEPH ENS OF ARKANSAS.

So far as we know now, the nearest mother of a baby is *Brownie* of her own, *Master Robert William McCormick*, who brought her and, mind you, Yonce did this night, nor for dollars and fame, but handed the TEN DOLLARS in GOLD that she presented it. Next she tried to present it to us. And finally she proclaimed that she could run back to us at the middle of the platform and "play some IN MEMORIAM.

Montgomery has been garrered to his father. He wrought well in the seventy-seven years of his life in the state constitution. He founded a city. A child of slavery, he verified the dictum that "honor and shame from no condition rise; act well your part, and you will be inconsistent." Montgomery was a slave of Jefferson Davis and yet he acquired a good education and became private secretary of Mr. Davis. His brother, William, was inconsistent and the foe he enjoyed at that distinguished Conderate's confederacy. He did not confederate or die with him from that party which stood for human liberty. He was a staunch republican and did yodam the slave.

How many people are an object to, the use of the word "Arrican" in referring to the race was made by the author in 1843 Mr. Leriverge, agent for colored schools of New York, wrote in a letter to the editor of the African Methodist Magazine, criticizing the use of the word "Arrican" in referring to the race in general. In reply, Rev. Hew, author of the book on the resemblance of the remarks. It is true we are not Arrican, that race, how can we better manifest that race, has been begun us, than by the adoption of the name on the public places of resort. NEXT WEEK'S WHATNOTS 61.
