OAKLAND, July 21.-Mrs Catherine
Anderson, "a years old, wife of NJ. w.
Anderson, an instructor at the United
states naval training school on Yerba
Buena island. was arrested this morn
ing by Inspectors William Kyle and
Frank Neils in her apartments in the
exclusive Ell Nido apartment house,
Lake and Twentieth streets. on a
charge of passing forged checks
The woman. a pretty brunette. is ac-
cused of forging checks for SIS and $40
on the Anglo-American bank and pass
ing them on j. w. Lord, a grocer of
273 Twelfth street
Mrs. Anderson is also charged with
forging another check for $25, which
she had J. Lay, ST. East Twelfth street,
indorse before she cashed it.
Lay works at Main street. San
Francisco. where Mrs. Anderson was
marriage to the naval instructor.
The police say that Mrs. Anderson
passed fictitious check in San Fran
cisco. but no action was taken as the
amount of the check was made good.
Mrs. Anderson broke down after her
arrest and admitted to the detectives
that she had forged the checks. She

had no other way to raise money to
pay the oils.
Anderson. who was notified shortly
after his wife's arrest. expressed sur
prise at the charges made and asserted
that he knew nothing of the alleged
forgeries.
The police believe that Mrs. Anderson
used the money in aiding her mother,
Mrs. X. Miller, 1881 Lafayette street,
Alameda. who is seriously i'll. While
Mrs. Anderson would not admit this,
she acknowledged that her mother was
i'll and in need Of help.
Mrs. Anderson said:
Yes, wrote those checks and passed
them. The bills kept accommodating e

Instructor was not enough 20 pay them.

I hoped that I could make the checks
good before any action was taken. I'm
sorry now. / do not know what my
husband will say when he hears about
It,"
The Andersons were married 10
months ago in Vallejo. Since their ar
rival in the bay cities they have been
entertaining extensively among the

1912 is a RECORD
YEAR FOR BIRTHS

SACRAMENTO, July 21--In the Eace
between the grim reaper and the
stork the latter in 1912 won with a
wide margin, according to a report is
sued today by Statistician George D.
Leslie OF the state board of health.
Births showed a percentage of 1872 per
1000 population for the entire state.
Deaths were 14.2 per 1000.
Final tabulations in the state bu-
reau Of vital statistics show that the
deaths in California totaled 36.70s for
1912, against 34,012 for 1911, 32,39S for
1910. 30.9S5 for 1909. 31.2S7 for 1908,
31,095 for 1907 and 2s.303 for 1905
The increase In 1911 to 1912 was
2.697, or 7.9 per cent, as compared with
the gain Of 1,614, or per cent, In
1910 to 1911, and of lab, or 4.6 per
cent. in 1909 to 1910.
The death rate per 1000 population
was 1871 for 1911, 1873 for 1910 and 1874
for 1909.
The year 1912 is the second in which
the aggregate birth registrati tion In
California has exceeded the annual
death total and the first in which the
excess of births over deaths has been
notably great.

sites and begin work on the buildings,
but argues that the money can not be

Green, wish to advise that we have au-
thentic information TO the effect that
Mr.. Green is in Portland on personal
business. and apparently has no idea of
leaving the country.
1T is true that certain irregularities
have occurred due to his connection
with this company. To investigate
these conditions matters have been
placed in the hands of a special COM

counsel of the company. to determine
the exact status of affairs and to take
such action as they may deem advis-
able under the circumstances"
