Knowles, District Jjail hunger striker, who is under a six- and-one-half-year sentence after con- wviction in_two grand larceny cases, told jail officials yesterday that he had regained his appetite and would like to have something to eat. After examination by Dr. Davies of the Washington Asylum Hospital staff he was prescribed a third of a glass of warm milk and & small plece of toast every three hours. He started his strike against food about saventeen days ago, when he an- nounced that he had no appetite. He has been drinking quantities of water since that time, however, and did not stop'smoking. It is believed that he will regain strength sufficient for transportation to the penitentiary with the. next allot- ment of Distziel prisonsrs, NG STAR, WASHI BOND AND CURB MARKETS.
