An old feud was recalled when two
men charged with beating up L. Her
bert, musician, on the morning of
May Goth, were hailed into municipal
court, Monday morning. The two
men charged with assault and battery
are William Taylor and Dave Turner.
After hearing the story of both sides
Judge Fred B. Wright, Jr., gave the
men ten days or ten dollars. The
men paid the fines.
1t was brought out at the trial that
Herbert shot Turner, six months ago,
claiming self defense. The fight,
Friday morning, Herbert seemed to
infer, was a prolongation of the affair
in which Turner came out second
best. Herbert claimed both Turner
and Taylor, who is tall, slender man,
followed him early, Friday morning,
from smoke shop on Sixth avenue
north, jumping on him from behind
and severely beating him. He ran
into restaurant and called the po-
lice who picked up his two assailants.
In court Herbert exhibited his
broken music case which he told the
court was used as weapon to beat
him by his assailants. Herbert, who
works at the famous" P. and S.

trlDuted the fall- ANTHONY ovERTON
ure to lack of confidence. He has
served as president for less than a
year replacing as active bank head,
his father-in-law, ,.tAnthony overton,
head of numerous enterprises.
For over year the Overton enter
prises, the bank, Victory Life Insur-
ance company have been torn by dis
sension. The trouble came to the sur
face when two officials of the insur-
ance concern, James E. Stamps and
Chas. Shaw were ousted from the
board of directors at the annual meet
ing of the stockholders. Then fol-.
lowed campaign in the press be-
tween the two factions. Overton
finally busted the men from the COM
pany payroll. The ousted officials were
favored by New York faction headed
by DR.. P. M. M. Savory, a heavy stock
holder in the company. Overton was
backed by most Chicagoans. When
Hill was elected Douglass Bank presi-
dent, Overton was. elevated to the
Craftsmanship of the, board. q
Overton's friends claim the bank is
solvent and that. the. failure of the
colored people of the Illinois metrop-
oils to support the, institution is the
cause for its closing. Opponents of
Overton claim the. bank was misman-
aged and used to furtheF the interests
of other Overton enterprises includ-
ing the CHICAGO. BEE, weekly
newspaper, the Oyerten Securities,
overton National Finance Company,
Douglass National Securities, Great
Northern Realty Company, Victory
Underwriters, the cosmetic company,
The Overton- Hygienic Products COM
pany and three building. projects, the
Overton Building. the Frances Build
ing and the $4,000 Bee building.
Rumors as to the actual standing of
the bank and the other Overton enter
prises have been rife in Chicago since
the closing of the Binga State Bank
about two years ago. The Douglass
Bank has withstood successfully sew
eral runs started by these rumors.
Negro business leaders. the coun-
try over are expressing, their regrets
over the Chicago situation feeling
that Negro confidence in their own
business enterprises always at low
ebb will be further undermined. They
point to the fact that many of the
biggest white owned and controlled
banks and concerns have failed since
the period of depression began and
that business failures are not peculiar
to Negro business.
