HESITANCY ABOUT
REPAYING Mr.. SPRECKELS

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA
MENTO, March 11.-Senate bill $50 came
up for consideration at the meeting of the
Senate Finance Committee this evening.
1t is an act to appropriate the sum OF
$25 900 for the reimbursement of Claus
Spreckels. The money was advanced to
the State by Mr.. Spreckels last fall when
the people of the southern part of the
State We're suffering from the effects Of
the drought and were in need of financial
assistance. A commission was appointed
and sent to the suffering districts and the
report made by it was read by the COM
mittee this evening. The report on the
expenditures of the money was not entire
ly satisfactory to some of the members,
and the matter was laid aside for further
investigation 1t appears that only $4,000
of the money was expended and that the
balance is at present in the fund at the
State treasury. The committee was in
favor of returning the unused portion to
Mr.. Spreckels and to further consider the
payment of the balance. The consensus
of opinion. however, is to reimburse Mr..
Spreckels, as the members of the COM
mittee consider that the money was given
at a time when it was most needed and
the philanthropy of the act appears to be
appreciated.

INDUCED TO
STEAL BY HIS
BOSOM FRIEND
Oscar Anderson Is
Brought Back.

Oscar Anderson, the thieving clerk Of
Charles Nelson. the ship-owner, who abb
seconded with $500 belonging to his en-
ployer was brought back from Santa
Rosa last evening by Detective Tom Glib
SON. Anderson. who is only Is years of
age. keenly feels the disgrace that he
has brought upon himself. Amid tears he
declared that he was induced to get away
with his employers money by Lorenzo
Peterson and Edward alias "Dutchy," "
Baker, his bosom friend. Both of them
are also under arrest. The latter is said
to be a brother of Henry Baker, the
prize fighter, though young "Dutchy' de-
nies that he has brother.
Anderson was given a check for $500 to
cash and after receiving the amount he
met Baker, who induced him to accom-
pany him TO Sacramento. They spent part
of the money in riOtOus living and as they
feared that the local police were on their
trail they went to DaViSville, where they
remained for two days. Anderson had q
few hundred dollars left of the stolen
money and as he became suspicious Of
the actions of the Constable he suggest
ed to Baker that they skip out.
They visited several interior towns and
finally brought up in Santa Rosa, where
they were joined by Peterson and a young
man who is known as Alfred Smith. An
derson rented apartments in the best no.
tel and invited the trio to live with him.
He treated them with the generosity Of a

the name of Stanley. was arrested while
searching for his companions and Incl
