Gfeat satisfaction Is expressed IN
the press, that President Coolidge's
veto of the Bursam pension bill
was Substantially the narrow mar
gin of one vote. This bill would have
cost the taxpayers $425 100000 for
pensions for Civil War veterans and
would have proved one more OBJ
stacle to reduced taxation, one more
factor in maintaining the high cost
of living. 1t was almost impossible
to find a member of either house
who would say, privately, that he
believed in the bill, but fear of the
cold soldier vote" prompted all to
vote for it, even over the Presi-
dents veto, with the exception of
a very few Republicans and those
Southern Democrats who have no
soldier vote in their states or dis
tricts.
1t was generally expected that
Congress would pass the bonus bill
over the Presidents veto, regard
less of the fact that Mr.. Coolidge
shows it would impose tax of $35
on every man, woman and child
in the country or $175 on every
family, and the fact that it is likely
to prove wholly disappointing to the
soldiers it is supposed to benefit. 1t
is estimated that inasmuch as in
most instances the soldier will re-
ceive only promise to pay twenty
years hence, most of his bonus will
go to middlemen and loan sharks
who will advance small amount of
cash for the Governments long time
promise.
When the bonus measure was re-
turned to the House after the Presi-
dents veto, it was passed a second
time by a vote of 313 to rs. This
was So votes more than was neces-
sary to get the two-thirds majority
of 261. When the measure was sent
on to the Senate for reconsideration
it was passed there with two votes
to spare in the majority-59 to rs.
The War Department has announ-
ced that it will take a force of
$500 clerks to put the law into
effect by checking up on the records.
There were 6,S93,000 men in service
during the World War, and there
are some 167,000,000 records of these
men to checked up. The tremendous
costs for this work will be in addi-
ton to the costs of the actual endow-
ment policies at the rate of ST. a
day for domestic service, and $125
for foreign service. Those with
amounts due them for less than $50.
will receive it in cash.

N. A. A. C. P. Fight
for COlOred Man i'm
Texas Wins Jury
Disagreement after
Death Sentence

New York, April 11-Luther Collins,
a cOlored man accused of an assault
upon n white woman in Houston,
Texas, in 1922, imprisoned since then
and once condemned to death, obtained
retrial through the introduction of
new evidence gathered by the Houston
branch of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People,
and as a result of the second trial the
jury disagreed and was discharged. 1t
was learned afterwards that eight of
the jurors had stood for acquittal and
four for the imposition of light pen
atty
1t was originally charged that Col
Inns had assaulted n white woman
while covering her companion with a
revolver. The new evidence estab-
lished that the white woman was of
ill repute, that Collins had been at
home at the time the assault was al
legged to have been committed, that
the original description of the assail-
ant given by the woman did not fit
Collins, that her testimony was con-
Trajectory, and that it would have
been impossible for the action TO have
taken place in crowded part of the
city in. which she asserted it had oc-
Cured
The strength of the new evidence
and of the case made by the N. A. A.
C. p. in behalf of Collins is shown by
the fact that only four out of Il jury
of twelve Texans wanted Collins con-
victed in the second trial and those
four wanted, not the death sentence,
but light penalty.
1t is expected that Collins will be
retired shortly.
e. o. Smith of the Houston branch,
n. A. a. G. p. writing Of the case,
says "The outstanding things in the
care are: /. Negroes CAN make n
long, hard fight The district attor-
ney announced that somebody had
been unusually busy in securing affi-
davits' and in stirring up interest =
The worth of the association has been
concretely demonstrated. 3. History

lieves him innocent. The bond is

residence of Mrs. Myrtle Adams, 200
York street The mothers are plan
ming to cooperate with the boys in
their recital for which Mr.. Davis, their
director, is now practicing them. The
date for the concert has not yet been
definitely decided upon but Will
doubtless be held around the middle
of June.

to hold the record for the highest at
tendance over all the other Pioneer
groups. With nearly thirty members
in the club, they seldom fall below
twenty at their meetings. The new

the meeting will be given in the notes

in City of St. Louis

st. Louis, Mo-, April 11.-There has
been an increase of 33,7S6 in the num-
Der of qualified Negro voters residing
in st. Louis, survey completed last
Thursday by Hon. John Edwards,
chairman of the Board of Election
Commissioners, disclosed. The total
Negro registration at the last presi-
Dental election was 3O,3IS, and IL IS
estimated that it will reach GA, ,l64
this year, or more than double the 1870
registration.
It is said that Mr.. Edwards used
these figures in his talk before the
Lions Club in discussing the horrible
housing conditions in Negro districts
here. He pointed out that these newly
enfranchised voters were largely new
comers from the South and the IN
crease is believed to be tantamount TO
that many more Republican votes. he
said the investigation disclosed the
fact that practically all the Negroes
voted the Republican ticket.
