in Southern Railway Scandal Matter.

Paris, Feb. 13.-There was a large
number of visitors in the galleries OF the
Chamber of Deputies, today, when Jules
PANS, Republican, interpellated the gov
eminent relative to the designation of
Judge Poitevin instead of Judge Rampier
to conduct the inquiry into the Southern
Railway scandals, for which the Senate,
Tuesday, blamed the government
NJ Ricard, minister of justice. defended
the nomintion of Judge Poitevin. He re-
viewed the measures leading up to his ap-
pointment, and declared that he assumed
full responsibility for the acts for which
the Senate blamed the government and
virtually declared to be irregular He
was glad of the occasion now afforded, he
said, to acquaint the country of the in
tention Of the government to prosecute the
inquiry with the utmost vigor and
thoroughness.
The Center appeared to be opposed to
the government in the matter, but the
Radicals applauded NJ. Ricard loudly and
frequently. M. Ricard said that ne knew
Judge Poitevin personally, and knew him
to be an able, upright and unbiased judge.
He (Ricard) had not given instructions
for the prosecution of anybody. He was

plause).
Several Radical deputies demanded that
NJ. Ricard' speech be printed and pla-
cartled throughout the country.
M. Dulan, Republican, said that the in
reference of NJ. Roard in the Inquiry in
to the Southern Railway scandal proved
that the cabinet was gravely disturbed
over the idea of having the investigation
conducted by independent judges.
Premier Bourgeois endorsed the re-
marks of NJ. Rcard, and expressed him
self surprised at the attitude assumed by
the Senate. The cabinet, he said, was
faithfully executing the desire of this
Chamber of Deputies to throw light upon
the scandals
FIX Premier Rouyier, Republican, inter
rupting, said the government were rather
trying to sully the regulations of their
political opponents
Premier Bourgeois demanded vote of
confidence, which was passed by the
Chamber, 1926 to 43.
