By Which They Are to Be Brought
Before the United Court Of
Cessation.
Anti-Dreyfus Partizans Claim This
Is Just What They
Desire.

PARIS, Jan. Sl.-The chamber Of dep
uties. by a vote Of 346 to ls9. adopted
the governments proposition to submit
to the committee entrusted with such
matters, the bill providing that cases OF
trial revision shall be brought before the
united sections of the court Of cessation.
The report Of NJ. Mazau, first presi.
dent of the court of cessation on the
charges of NJ. Quesnay de Beaurepaire,
the former president of the civil section
of that body, will be read before the
committee.
The minister of justice, NJ. Lebret in
troduced the bill and asked that it be
sent to a committee. 1t was read amid
profound silence. The preamble Of the
measure declaring that the bill was one
necessary for the peace and to restore
calm in the country was greeted with
applause from the center and murmurs
from the extreme left.
NJ. Georges Berry. representing the
first division of the Seine, said the
chamber was not aware why the gov.
eminent introduced the bill and asked
for the official publication of the evi.
dence of NJ. Bard who reported on the
Dreyfus case to the court of cessation.
(Cheers.) The premier, NJ. Dupuy said
he did not wish the chamber to vote in
the dark. He was DESTROYS that full
light be thrown on the subject, and
therefore the government would sub.
nit to the committee the complete doc.
uments in the case. (Cheers.) The pre-.
mier then asked the chamber to proceed
with discussion of the budget.
The government decision in the mat
ter has reopened the gates of agitation
of Dreyfus revision. The case seems tc
be more complicated and delicate thar
ever. For several days the anti-Drev
fusites have been clamoring to have the
case referred to the united sections. be
cause they have considered it certain
that among more that 30 Judges they
could rely upon an anti-Dreyfus de
cisiOn.
