OFFICIAL PAPE Of KLAMATH COUNTY AND OF KLAMATH FALLS Another Chapter Added to Manipulations of Demo cratic Candidate Another chnptcr was nddedn to Senator Walter M, ll'erco's fraudu lent manipulations In connection with thn stnto school fund today when Clatidn E. Ingnlls, secretary of tlin ttepubllcan state central com mittee. Issued a statoment charg ing that soon after tho snnntor had borrowed 25,000 from thn fund at 0 per cent through dummy appli cants he loaned a portion of It out at 8 per cent says tho Portland Tele gram, Tho senator used his two broth ers, a sister, and two business as i i ; " pbicw rrv cjwni" "WCEllFT FMUDULENTIY 1 I GAINEDFUNDST ' j sociates as dummy applicants to so- , euro tho loans, and several days ,; ago Ingalls niado public facsimiles of ' their applications, and mortgagos to .;- the state. I'nder tho rules and regulations of the land board no ono Individual eon borrow moro than $5000 from tho fund, and to circumvent It thoou ator deeded his lands to his rela tives and business associates, had them apply for tho loans, and after they had been made ho had the land reconvcyed to himself. Pierre ImbpiI Money filnco making this exposure In galls has been probing further Into the transactions and he now charges that tho I'mttllla county mortgage records show that shortly after tho loans had been fraudulently secured from the state, the senator loaned out a portion of the money to several Individuals.

"He has done other things worse than borrowing miner from the school fund by sharp prac tices. "For example. It Pierce had been hard up and had made these dum my sales of his lands to hit relatives and business associates because ho needed mnnoy thero nlght, at least, havo been the excuse of necessity for his action In thus defrauding oth er farmers of the opportunity to se cure farm loans at G per cent.

M. Llghtfoot and wlfo on a farm mort gago at 8 per cent. The records also show that at this time Plorco loaned to Marie K. Cooley and hus band 120,000 at 8 per cent, and that when the loan expired it was re newed by a demand note, a most unusual kind of a noto for to large a sum of money on a mortgage. -Made Many Loams "Thero are numerous record! of loans made by Plorre during this per iod, and all that time farmers In Easto'rn Oregon and In Western Or.". gon wero besieging tho State Land board for 6 per cent money which they were unable to get because the supply was exhausted.
