Rivera Dictatorship.
By the Associated Press.

forward today to a new constitutional
life, evolved by duly elected represent
atives of the people. For the first time
since the advent Of the Primo de Rivera
dictatorship in 1923, constitutional
guarantees were restored and parlia-
mentary elections called.

lished in the official Gaceta set March
l as the day for balloting on deputies
for the new Cortes, and March Is az
the day for balloting for senators. The
King himself will open parliament
March IS.
The decree also restored the old con-
stitutional guarantees and lifted the
press censorship, reinSeituting among
other things, freedom of speech and
writing, freedom of lawful assembly
and freedom of political and religious
organization during the so-called cleo
ton period.
Three motives for the calling of cleo
tiorAs were listed in the royal decree,
first, because Spain needs reestablish-
ment Of parliamentary rule, second be-
cause of crave problems" among them
labor reform, which are facing ne coun-
try. and third because of necessity to
modify some of the articles Of the con-
stitution Of 1876.

Oakland Horse Show early today, taking
at least four human lives and incin-
Grating possibly As blue blooded ami
mails trapped in their stalls.
Several attendants remained unac-
counted for, but most, if not all, OF
these were thought to have escaped and
failed to report their safety.
Fire officials estimated the loss in
horses at 100000. Eighteen car loads
OF prize animals. valued by their
owners at about $4,000 900, had been
shipped from the stables, the show
having closed Saturday night.
Only One Identified.
John L. Thoms, so, an employe of
Carnation Farm Stables, Pomona, Calf.
and Michael Mccarthy, also a Carna-
ton Stable employe, were identified
The bodies of two other unidentified
men were recovered.
While the fire was at its height and
horses were plunging, Snorting and
dying in the flames, a woman was seen
TO dash into the blazing structure as If
to rescue favorite horse. Later a
wonnan'S purse containing 40 cents and
a check was found in the ruins.
No clue as to the woman's identity
could be found except the check, which
had been made all but illegible by
water The check was for $3.75, dated

Fire authorities said they detected
the smell of gasoline while fighting the
flames, but had no definite evidence OF
incendiariSm. A fire said to have been
incendiary was found in the show build
ing the opening night and promptly
quenched.
Firemen also asserted there had been
no regulations prohibiting smoking and
that sparks from burning tobacco might
have found their way into inf1ammable
material to start the confagration.
The buildings were temporary and
burned quickly.
Barns full of plunging, snorting,
squealing horses made the scene a bed
lam. Some of the prize animals broke
through to the open air with hair and
flesh afire. Policemen shot them down
to end their agony.
Mccarthy was believed to have died
in an attempt to save Carnation Laven-
dula, a $35. 900 horse. The charred body
of a man was found beside the burned
carcass of the valuable mount. Zero
Hour, prize winner of the Colorado Ma
tional Guard, reached the outside with
his blanket afire. He broke a leg in
making the getaway and had to be shot.
Harold P. Ryan, one of the attend
ants, was injured. Ryan said he saw a
man burn to death in a stall.
