CHICAGO, Sept. i(JP Normn
Thomas, Socialist candidate for Pres
ident, told a meeting of the Chicago
Bex association today that the Insull
debacle "Illustrates the rac lettering
stags which capital has reached and
the necessity for public ownership ol
public utilities."
, "Business leaders and politicians
were virtually bribed by Insull's 'gen
erosity'." Thomas charged, "and even
now the Insulls are likely to be made
to accept all responsibility tor a sys
tem and for their associates who also
were responsible.
V Insull provided For.
S "Samuel Insull was granted 1S,000
a year to Xeep him happy and quiet?
In Paris, where he now lives in
penury at a $10-a-day hotel with 3.75
day for his wife's maid's room.
; "And Chicago, In Its great gener
osity, pays a relief total of 2.79 a
week for an unemployed man and
wlte."
' Thomas recited figures which he
oald showed financing of power de
. velopment under private ownership
eosts the American publlo 1,000.000
, day more than It needs to pay for
light and power. Most of that 36S,
000.000 a year, he charged. Is diverted
to the pockets of the private owners
through unethical methods.
. Roosevelt No Aid.
''Discussing Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt's eight-point program for
public utility ownership, Thomas said
more than 50 per cent of domestic
. users of electricity in New York pay
more now than when he became gov
ernor, "because of an unwarranted
service charge."

Telling a tale of the Zulus, those :
beautiful bronze -skinned people w,ho
Inhabit the villages of South Africa,
land of color and mystery, maintain
ing under their present leader, King
Solomon (who like his Biblical pred
ecessor, "has many wives), a disci
pline and respect for women which
far outdistances that of many fairer
peoples Frank Ohrt, Journlllst and
man jot many countries, talked to a
small group of women Tuesday morn
ing at the home of Mrs. Harry Pren
tice. And while he talked, leisurely
over a cup of coffee, plans were made
for his public address at the Hotel
Holland Saturday afternoon, to be
sponsored by the Women's associa
tion of the Presbyterian church.
Mr. Ohrt, who Is a guest of his
brother, Norman F. Ohrt, at his Mc
Leod ranch, spent four years In Zulu
land. He knows, understands and ad
mires the people who, under the rule
of Chaka, their first great consoll-
dator, In 1828, devastated great areas
of Africa, and who later came into
memorable conflict with the Boers.
He will tell of their habits, their
faiths and colorful customs: their
codes, which he compares with that
of Napoleon's. The address is sched
uled for 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
Miss Dorothy Reynolds, well known
local musician, will also entertain
with several plan numbers and tea
will be served by the women of the
ohurch.
Mr. Ohrt's experiences in Zulu
land, followed by a crash Into the
world war, which took him into the
German prisons, where he spent a
year. He went to South Africa for
his health. . He was In Holzlnden
during the great escape of 1028, but
failed to make the tunnel before It
caved In, and as a result remained
in prison until release was granted.
He was a filer In the English army
and crashed behind the lines.
In South Africa he found health
giving sunshine and Intriguing peo
ples, of whose habits he talks In fas
cinating and humorous style, Includ
ing occasionally the "click" which
characterizes the talk of the Zulus.
"Not everyone can 'click,' " he de
clared In a Jovial mood this morn
ing, which brought a twinkle into
his gray eyes, which tend to reveal
the fact that they have seen much
In many places. "Some words have
one 'click,' some have two. He dem
onstrated with a sharp snapping
which seemed to come from the roof
of his mout&, then explained that
most people address the Zulus In
"kitchen Kaffir," and equivalent of
pidgin nggllsh.
"There are no Zulus In the United
States," he added. "They were never
conquered and brought In as slaves.
They are or a higher caste. Asitea
about their habits of dress, he said
"In the uncivilized" then checked
himself. "I mean In back country.
None of ttiem are uncivilized. They
are all very civilized. But In the
back country the women wear few
clothes, adorning themselves In art
istic bead work. The married wom
en use clay to accomplish a bucket-
shaped head dress which holds their
hslr high above their heads, nd
whlc,h Is shaped to carry bundles.
The unmarried - women dress - very
differently. Their hair hangs in
small braids interwoven with beads.
The married women are much more
modest than the unmarried. That
Is, to our way of thinking. The
single Zutus will disrobe for any
man to display their beauty. ..The
married women will not.
"They are all absolutely moral.
Virginity Is more highly prized than
In any other country. Marriage laws
are very strict. They are a part of
Chaka's code. But the Zulus are a
polygamous people. Not many of
them, however, have many wives.
They cannot afford them. The num
ber Is determined by wealth. King
Solomon (yes, that's his name) has
the most.
."Cows are given In exchange for
wives, ten go to the father of the
girl and one to the mother."
Mr. Ohrt then told of an interest
ing period in Zulu land, which fol
lowed the spread of Rinderpest fe
ver, which swept the country, kill
ing cows and other animal life. There
were no cows to be traded for wives
so the king issued a decree placing
the cow's value at five pounds. The
price of a wife was then 55 pounds.
Rather a tremendous value for a
wife.
In line with this, high value placed
upon marriageable women, Mr. Ohrt
stated, girls are more highly prized
In families than boys, and very well
cared for.
Continuing with the customs of
the people, Mr. Ohrt told pf. their
favorite holiday, Dlngaan, an annual
celebration honoring the battle of
Dlngaan, In which Vie Zulus defeated
the Boers.
Mr. Ohrt was in South Africa from
1022 to 1920. He also spent much
Arthur W. Manuel, Pacific coast
represenattlve of the Civic Coast !
Concert Service of Chicago, arrived
In Medford this morning and a ape- j
clal meeting of the officers, team ;
captains and all workers of the
Southern Oregon branch of the Civic
Music association has been called for
Friday eevnlng at the high school
auditorium by wm. F. Isaacs, presi
dent of the association. All officers
and workers are urged to be at the
meeting at 7:45 o'clock to greet Mr.
Manuel, who will remain here dur
ing enrollment week, and to par
ticipate In the outlining of plans for
the registration of assocaltlon mem
bers. The Southern Oregon enrollment
will open with a banquet at the
Hotel Medford Monday evening, Oc
tober 3, and will continue until Sat
urday night, Octobur 8, at 10 o'clock.
Mr. Manuel brought with him from
Tacoma, Wash., where enrollment for
the new year has Just been complet
ed, very encouraging news. The as
sociation of that city raised 9300
more this year for talent than dur
ing the past season lnsplte of the
so-called depression and has already
selected an outstanding group of art
ists for the new year. The concert
series , there Includes, Mr. Manuel
stated this morning, Mario Chamlees,
famous tenor, now with the San
Francisco opera; the Gordon string
partet of New York; the well known
pianist, Jose Echanlb, and Florence
Austral, famed soprano, whose hus
band plays the flute. She has been
singing In Sea fie, Vancouver and
Portland.
The first thought In the minds of
the officers and directors, is Mr.
Manuel said, a belief that In spite
of the unfavorable business condi
tions, a large membership In the lo
cal association will be enrolled as a
result of the very satisfactory series
of concerts brought to Medford last
year by the Civic Music association.
The series Included Attllio Bagglort,
the Agullar lute quartet, Coe Glade,
and Francis McMillan, the violinist,
all of whom are favorably remem
bered by Southern Oregon music lov
ers. The association had promised
Medford three concerts last year and
brought four.
If the membership reaches the de
sired total this year It will be pos
sible to bring still greater enter
tainment to the city, the number of
concerts being determined by the
size of the organization.
Mr. Manuel said this morning that
he was pleased to note that the civic
music Idea has continued successful
ly with an 11 per cent Increase In
the first 21 towns, where campaigns
were held In the spring of this year,
This Increase he credited to the fact
that in times of mental and financial
depression the need for good music
is more keenly realized and the Indi
vidual's appreciation becomes greater.
Forecasting further success for the
Souther Oregon association, Mr.
Manuel added: "We were much lm
pressed In Chicago with the spirit
and enthusiasm of your president,
Mr. Isaacs, and expect much from
the Medford association."
Among those greeting Mr. Manuel
following his arrival in Medford this
morning was Carlton Janes, local mu
sician who tttended Mr. Manuel's alma
mater, Oberlln, ana who sang In the
same choir as the civic music repre
sentative.
Mr. Manuel said he was looking
forward to a very pleasant week In
Medford. This Is his flret trip
through the northwest but he is rap

DISTRESS. REPORT
PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 28. (AP)
An unidentified vessel, believed by
radio operators here to be the steam
er Nevada, out of Portland, or the
Casey, was in distress somewhere In
the north Pacific ocean early today
and sent out urgent calls for help.
The vessel gave her position as
latitude 51 degrees. 8 minutes north
and longitude 179 degrees, 15 minutes
west.
Officials of the States Steamship
company, owners of the Nevada, said
later they had received a wireless re
layed by other ships which led them
to believe the ship calling for help
was the Nevada. They said it was
about 100 miles southwest of Ultvk
Island of the Aleutian chain. The
Nevada left Portland September 15,
bound for the Orient with lumber,
flour, and general cargo.
