CHAMBER STANDS BY CoMBES
Passes Resolution CensurinE Meth
DDS of the OpPO-
sitiOn.

PARIS, May 2S-In the Chamber of Dep
uties today Premier Combes had an angry
alteration with NJ. Flangin, republican
by the latter against NJ. Combes' SON.
These charges came up again later in the
form of an Interpolation by NJ. Rabier, a
radical socialist, who read several articles
from newspapers, in which Edgar Combes
was accused Of accepting a bribe in order
to obtain a gambling license for the Circle
Rationale, a club founded by Gambetta
The premier replied that he despised this
campaign, which was directed against him
self. The facts In the Circle Rationale
case were that when the club building
was enlarged the prefect of police thought
that a new license was necessary The
members applied to the ministry of the
interior, which decided that the old license
was still good. II has been insinuated
continued NJ. Combes, that Edgar Combes,
who was a secretary at the ministry, was
compromised in the matter through gam
bling debts and notes which II was alleged
he had given for money he had borrowed,
but he dehed the men who had made the
charges to produce any such note given or
proof of any such debt contracted by his
son.
The house. by a vote OF 1888 TO IS, adopted
a resolution censuring the campaign OF
calumny which was being directed against
the members OF the government with the
object of turning them from the task OF
the defense of the republic"
