His Attorney Argues That only n Legis-
Iature Can Remove Him.

Martin w. Littleton appeared yesterday
before the Appellate Division OF the Supreme
Court as counsel for Justice Deuel. Of Special
Sessions. against whom proceedings to
remove him from Office are pending. Mr..
Littleton argued in behalf of a motion TO
vacate the order made by the court some
months ago appointing ex-Judge Martin
j.. Slower as referee to take testimony and
report on the charges mad against Deuel..
Mr.. Littleton submitted a brief to the
effect that under the State Constitution q
Justice OF Special Sessions can only be re-
moved by the Senate, on the recommends
ton Of the Governor and by a two-thirds
vote Of the Senate. Mr.. Littleton's point was
that it is provided by the Constitution OF
the State that a Justice in q court of record
inferior to the Supreme Court and the
Court Of Appeals can only be removed in
this way. The Appellate Division only has
power TO remove Judges sitting in courts
that are not OF record.
BY the laws of 1895 recognizing the
Court of Special Sessions and abolishing
the police courts the Court of Special Ses-
record, and therefore Justice Deuel. cannot
be removed except by the Senate.
Howard Cans, representing the petitioners
who filed the charges, submitted a brief
in reply which says tina IL the Appellate
Division upholds Mr.. Littleton's contention
it will in the future be impossible to remove
az all any Justice Of Special Sessions OF
any Magistrate.
Mr.. Cans declared thai through an error
in transcribing one of the laws OF 1896
the word not was left out in the phrase
mot of record, and il Ia this Academia
omission which forms the basis Of Mr.
Littleton's application.
The court reserved decision.

Special Cable Despatch 10 THE SUN.

Special Cable Despdieh 10 THE SUN.
BRUSSELS, Q THE Congo debate
was resumed in the Chamber Of Deputies
to-day. The feature Of the proceedings
was a powerful speech by M. Van der Velde,
the Socialist leader, who denounced King
Leopold in a manner which was all the more
effective because the speaker recognized
the difficulties Of the Congo question, Bel
gums sacrifices therefor, and her liabili-
ties in the matter.
He described the King as the rival and
a partner of the great manipulators Of
American trusts. His will had become
supreme even over the Chambers debates.
His influence had taken the direction en-
bodied in Guizot's words, Enrich your
selves; business is business" but he had
disdained the moral and intellectual do
main. Serfdom had been imposed on the
natives by the absolutism OF one man,
who exploited the Congo for his personal
benefit or the benefit Of the founders OF
the Free State.
1t was grievous to see Belgium rendered
responsible for deeds which ~revolted the
worlds conscience. The status quo could
not be maintained. II was a choice be-
tween severance and annexation. He hoped
that some day colonizing Belgium would
u to be forgotten the shame, misery
and crimes of the Congo of Leopold III.

R4INES DEFENDS EXCISE LAW.
Debate With the Rev. seward u. Russell
ON Local option.

CANANDAIdUA, n. Y, Dec. TIVE long
heralded debate over local option between
the Rev. Seward Hyde Russell, supertntend-
ent OF the A~nti-Saloon League, and Senator
Raines came of at Canandaigua Opera
House this evening, and Long John made
a strong defence of his excise legislation,
and branded the attacks OF the leaguers
in the recent campaign a. the diTtiest ever
seen in the State
He did not deny that he was not in favor
of the local option amendment to the Raines
law as applied to cities and as promulgated
by the league. but said that he always had
and always would be opposed TO any effort
to we AIKEN the law. He considered the
local option features of the Tully-Wain-
wr ight law pernicious and deleterious to
the excise laws of the State,
The Rev. Mr.. Russell reiterated previous
charges Of bad faith and ant9gonism OF
Raines to the leagues effort 10 secure local
option legislation,
Senator Raines showed by official state
ments that the mistakes Of the eaguers in
preparing their measures were rs much 10
blame as any factor. In summing up the
Senator gave facts and figures "a against
generalities adduced 10y the leaguers, and
demonstrated how prone people are 10 pick
flaws, even though they have no better
wares 70 offer. The Senator's audience
was in sympathy with him throughout.
In the concluding twenty minutes OF
rebuttal, the Rev. Mr.. Russell acknowledged
! regret for harsh words uttered in the cam
paign, but with tears in his eyes and with
trembling voice declared that he was
fighting for moral regeneration and not
personal profit, and that he would continus

LABOR Law BAD.


In affirming the discharge in Special
Sessions. OF David L.. Williams who has a
factory ut All Eleventh avenue, the =
pellate Division OF the Supreme Court
decided yesterday that the labor law,
relating to factories, has "a constitutional
infirmity' in section II. referring to the
employment Of minors.
Williams wa charged with keeping women
at work in his factory till 10 o'clock
at night. Section II provides that no
minor under IL years of age shall
work before Q in the morning or after q
at night, and that no female Of any age
shall work in a factory between Q at night
and Q in the morning. Justice Olmsted.
in Special Session wrote an exhaustive
opinion holding the portion relating to
females to be unconstitutional, and his
opinion Is adopted by the Appellate Division
with some additions.
Justice Scott, writing the opinion OF the
Appellate Division. says:
The provision under examination il
aimed solely against work az night, with
out regard TO the length OF time during
which work ia performed, OF the conditions
under which It is carried on; and in order
70 sustain the reasonableness Of the pro-
vision we must find that, owing TO some
physical or nervous difference, IL ia more
harmful for a woman to work at night than
for q man TO do so. for. concededly. tn e
clause IN question would be ~unconatiul-
tional u it applied to men as well a. 70
