Hundreds Stage Riot To Hear Address by Thomas
S. C. Given Large Bequest by Will
A bequest of $100,000 was willed the university, as partial beneficiary to the large estate left by the late Gen. M. H. Sherman, pioneer southern California industrial and financial leader, upon his death Sept. 9, last, it was disclosed when his will was filed for probate recently.
The sum will not be received immediately, as the trust in which the money is held will not be dissolved for some time to come.
Amounts approximating that received by S.C. were also left to Pomona college, California Institute of Technology, and Grinnell college, Iowa, all participating in the same trust. The ballance of the estate will be divided among the then living heirs of the 12 principal legatees.
Gen. Sherman’s death at the age of 78 years brought to an end the career of one of the notable group of pioneers whose vision was largely responsible for the economic growth of Los Angeels.
Method Sought For Securing Insull Return
Financier Believed To Be Hiding In Greece To Escape Capture
CHICAGO, Oct. 9.—(UP)—The amazing story of Samuel Insull and his two billion dollars utilities wreck reached dramatic heights tonight when it was reported he had fled to Athens, Greece, to escape criminal prosecution.
Greece has no extradition treaty with the United States, Prosecutor John A. Swanson, who said he had learned $25,000 was cabled to Insull in Athens by a mysterious “friend” in Chicago, hoped to persuade the Grecian government to have Insull deported as an “undesirable.”
Have Slight Hopes
In that event, said Swanson, Insull would have to return to Italy, where extradition proceedings could be enforced. Such an Involved system of dickering with countries on the other side of the world, Swanson added, were his only hopes of returning Insull to the scene of the greatest industrial failure in America’s history.
Insull is charged with embezzlement and larceny of about $500,000 in connection with the use of Insull Utility Investments, Inc., funds to "cover” the stock market accounts of his brother, Martin. The latter, facing similar charges, is free on $50,000 bond in Orilla, Ont.. after spending a day in jail. He has indicated he will fight to the limit against extradition to the United States.
Son To Come Back
Samuel Insull, Jr., who helped his father play hide and seek with European authorities for nearly a week, returned to Paris today, but refused to say where he had been. No charges have been filed against him, pending his promise to return to Chicago next month.
Swanson said he had decided to send one of his assistants, probably Charles E. Bellows, to Europe to push the attempt to force Insull’s explanation of losses to some 800,000 investors In his 55 associated companies. Swanson

An overflowing crowd started an incipient riot today in a rush to hear Norman Thomas, Socialist presidential candidate, demand "unemployment relief this winter” in the major southern California address of his national campaign.
Several hundred auditors who arrived too late for admission to the crowded auditorium attempted to force an entry and police were called to end the confusion.

“If the government can go into business to save the banks,” he said referring to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, "why
can t it go into business to save the workers? Every unemployed family and worker in this nation is entitled to maintenance, and if the government can’t give the jobs it is only just to give maintenance—and to do it decently.
"No Socialist wants to see the workers get maintenance without work. If the R. F. C. can subsidize banks, the Socialists would subsidize consumers. That would go farther toward relieving unemployment and breaking this depression.
"You remember the 20 billions in Liberty bonds during the war— you remember all the liberty you got—and we Socialists demand a bond Issue to give liberty, life, work, and wealth to the jobless.”

Second in the series of drama broadcasts that was begun last week writh a School of Speech program, the "Streets” presentation will consist of some of the choice excerpts from the play that took New York by storm three-quarters of a century ago.
Norman Wright, director of the play and president of Drama Shop, will read the synopsis that will describe those scenes necessarily omitted because of the allotment of time. The synopsis was prepared by Wright in collaboration with Les Koritz.
Intensive rehearsing is the order of the day (and night) for the cast of 13 campus dramatic favorites who will appear in "Streets of New York.” The play is replete with difficult scenes, swerving from tragedy to farce and stopping at all way stations.
Tickets are 20, 30, and 40 cents, and are on sale at the cashier’s office in the University bookstore, at the School of Speech office, or from members of Drama Shop.
Although Dion Bouciacault could hardly have predicted that the theme of his play would be timely in 1932, he based his play on the misfortunes of the poor during the financial crisis of 1857. There is a potent note of optimism, however, that forestalls the possibility of gloom.
