Clarence Thompson, Paroled
Before, Given Hard Sen

lem Waives Sentence De
lay Wants Medical Aid.
SALEM, Ore., April 11. Palo, un
shaven and seemingly on the verge of
nervous collapse, Clarence W. Thomp
son, former cashier in the stato treas
urer's office, stood before Judge
Percy R. Kelly today and was sout
enced to serve a maximum of nine
years In tho state penitentiary. It
was said that Thompson would prob
ably be "dressed in" at the state
prison beforo noon today.
Without an attorney, Thompson,
escorted by Sheriff Bower, was
brought from tho county jail into the
courtroom at 10 ociock. His appear
ance was for arraignment and not
necessarily for sentence today, oven
should he plead guilty. But Thompson
pleaded guilty In person and choso
not to accept the two days allowed by
law before Imposition of the sentence.
A crowded courtroom heard the pris
oner's plea and the statement made
bv h m in almost an undertone.
Thompson avoided the gaze of the
crowd and kept his eyes on the court
"I will fix next Tuesdny," said
Judge Kelly, "as the time to Impose
sentence."
"Your h o n o r," Interrupted
Thompson, "1 want to waive time.
I have been sick since Tuesday.
If 1 have to go 'out there' I want
no delay so I can have some
attention. 1 had hoped to be sit
uated so I could pay back tho
money."
The maximum ot nine years which
Thompson must serve Is a combina-
lion of penalties for the first and the
second charges on which he was haled
into court, for today in pronouncing
a sentence of un to sevon years on
the Becond charge, -which had Us
oriRln after 'disposal of the first case.

Klamath irrigation district, woro
voiced this morning by J. H. Carna
han. attorney for tho district at a

Work was not In attendance.
Tho Irrigation attorney declared
that tho salo of tho water rights
of tho irrlgatlonlsts to tho California
Oregon Power company for $120,000
wns "a gigantic swindle," and called
upon government officials to repu
diate tho contract.
"Wo have heard tho charges re
peatedly since wo havo boon here,"
wns Commissioner Mcnd'B nnswor.
"This contract was cntored Into under
tho regime of n formor secrotary ot
Interior. It It was Blmply a blun
der, thoro Is nothing wo can do.
If there was fraud, as you men havo
alleged, then glvo us proof of such
fraud in order that wo might havo
I something upon which to base an
investigation."
"Wo will furnish you ovldonco of
fraud," rotorted tho irrigation dis
trict nttornoy.

ath county a figurative spanking
when ho pointed out that thoy woro
too embroiled in' community wrnn-:
gles and controversies to obtain tho

woro among tho most fertile acres
of tho west.
Ho referred to tho famous court
houso controversy of n few years
ngo when Klnmath county was at one
tlmo tho possessor of thrco separate
court houses. Ho said tho farmers
should attend to their crops nnd
their Irrigation projects and let tho
powor companies dovolop the power
possibilities ot tno district.
At Klamath Agency yestordny
afternoon tho secrotary met with tno
tribal council of tho Klamnth Indian
reservation and listoned to thoir
pleas for a government loan of $5,-
000,000 to tho Indians, altnougn no
held out no hope to thorn.
Scldon Kirk, chairman of Iho
council, assorted tho Indians were
facing bankruptcy because thoy woro
unable to make a living off their
farm lands nnd said tho loan was
needed to tide them over. Tho sec
retary replied that if they could not

no wny ot Insuring the government
that tho loan ovor would be repaid.
