New York. June 25.-Counsel for

advisability Of an appeal to the United.

from execution In the week OF July II,

1t was reported that writ Of error or

Webber and Vallon were detained there

three men comforting in the corridor Of
the prison. and heard one say:
I'VE haven't a chance In the world

on Recommendation Of the coroner's
Jury that he be held to the grand jury
in connection with the murder OF Mrs.
Allen. wife Of the warden of the peni-
tentiary. Campbell was not formally
charged with the murder.
Tacit doubt Of Campbell's guilt was
expressed in the verdict, wich stipu-
lated that the charge against Campbell
should not preclude suspicion against
others. officials at the prison were
directed to continue the quest into cir
cumstances surrounding the fire In
which Mrs. Allen lost her life Sunday
morning in the hope Of revealing evi-
dence that will prove Campbells inno-
cence or more clearly reveal his guilt.
Fear that violence might be visited
on Campbell II he were removed to the
county Jail is the influence which Is
keeping the man in the penitentiary.
The long session held by the coroner's
jury last night is due to consideration
of whether others were involved in the
plot against Mrs. Allen. The jury was
unable to decide on this point.

Berlin, via London, June 26.-The de-
bate III the Prussian chamber of depu-
ties yesterday on the attitude OF the
German people toward peace attracted
considerable comment today. Herr
Braun. Herr Wiener and DR.. Karl
Liebknecht took part in the exchanges.
The morning newspapers report the
proceedings substantially as follows:
Herr Wiener. progressive. cited an
article by Hugo Heinemann. socialist.
to the effect that no German wants
peace until Germany's enemies are will
ing to concede her right to develop her
cultural and economic powers.
"Masses Want Peace"
To this statement DR.. Karl Liebk-
necht: one Of the socialist leaders, inter-
jected: we have the masses with us
an the masses want peace
After this interruption Herr Wiener
continued:
1--WE are convinced that the cooper
alton of all parties and classes is essen
tial and that it means German victory.

antee that we will hold out. and that
we will be spared from such dastardly
attacks in the future
Herr Braun, socialist, was the next
speaker He said the socialists did not
deny the German people must stand to-
gether. He referred to the fact that
certain persons are talking about the
continuance of the war to realize wild
plans OF annexation.
IA great majority OF the German
people wish imperatively that no op-
portuHity to secure an early peace be
lost the speaker declared. and they
emphhtically reject all plans Of annexa-
| ton particularly such as have been ad-
;; vocated by one German ruler. Democ-
racy objects to such projects.
Want No conquests.
"'The German people want no con-
quests Herr Braun declared. They
want no anneXations. They do want
peace without bringing humiliation or
subjection on other peoples
Herr Delbreuck made answer to
Herr Braun in part as follows:
"While we are involved in such a
war as this we can have but one
thought, that is. to terminate it in a
way to make a repetition impossible.
That is the goal the allied governments
have set themselves and that Is the goal
you must strive for along with u.s.
