New Spanish Ministry Takes
First Step in Stemming
Popular DisapprovaI.
M0RET IS MAKING AMENDS
AboliSheS Rule That Resulted
in Execution of the Idol
of the People.
(By Associated Press.)

MADRID, November "a royal
edict today restores the constitution to
the Catalonian provinces, whish have
been for months under martial ru'e, an
incident of which was the exccut.ol of
Francisco Ferrer The restoration of
constitutional privileges to Catalonia is
the first step Of the Moret ministry to-
wards paeifying the popular mo cement
against the government which broke out
on the execution of the revolutionary
and free-thought leader.
Some doubt was felt when Senior
Moret accepted the task of creating a
new ministry from the antagonistie fac
tions around him, as to his ability to
stem the tide of agitation directed to-
wards the government, and this new
step is considered as a complete recog
milton of the voice of the people.
The agitation which was started by
the hot protests against the Moroccan
campaign and which was ripened by the
Ferrer execution, is still powerful, al
though the resignation of Premier
Maura did much to allay it. 1t is
thought that there are still chances of
Irell..er Moret being soreed to resign.

Echoes of possible police graft

bribery and corruption are stalking

have settled down TO their accustomed
beatitude and Honolulu has taken

Action on the part Of the grand jury
would have aseertained whether or not
the numerous accusations by numerous
animated mysteries were true, and
many citizens have been wondering
why the grand jury did not at least

collecting more than the constitution
intended, were there no such thing. OF

A DELIVERY
WAGON DECOY
Kakaako rap-Shooters Raided
in a Novel Way BY
Deputy.

1t took baker, delivery wagon to
make an effective police raid in Ka-
kaako on Sunday morning, and Judge
Andrade so far approved of the results
that he sentenced each gambler picked
up by the use of this decoy to pay a
fine of 50 and costs. Deputy Sheriff
Rose wanted particularly to nab a crowd
OF young crapSho0ters in KakaakO. To
catch them by the ordinary method of
bouncing down upon the game was out
of the question, for they played on the
with watchers all around. So a de-
livery wagon was Communicated and
in this enclosed vehicle the officers were
diven to the end of the yeranda and
the driver jumped off with a basket
to deliver bread. Suddenly the wagon
fairly poured detectives, and the crowd
was captured.
Another crowd was picked up in
Iwilei, and they, too, received similar
sentences. A bunch Of Chinese gam
blers were let go, there being insutti-
Gent evidence to convict them.
Alex. McCandless, brother of Jim Nc
Candless. the WetheriH murder suspect,
and Likelike were arrested yesterday
afternoon for affay. They started
lively scrap on one of the wharves. A
policeman refereed the game and de
cided to take them before the magis-
trate to render a decision.
