ROUND TRIP FARE $1.00 Including War Tax. Puget Sound Navigation Co, COLMAN DOCK. THE SEATTLE STAR—FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1919. —— OW THAT THE PEACE TR Ce ZZ GREEK BADLY Dish Washing | Nick Tsouruonikes, 21 |porter, was removed to hospital Friday morning from city hospital with a serious wound in his left a Greek living at the Rex hotel, 657 hing st, is held in the city jail on an open charge, the result of a knife battle in the kitchen of the White Lunch, 306 Pike st., Friday morning. It was announced at the hospital that Teouruonikes will recover. According to Wright the arcu ment started when the Greek mixed dirty dishes with the ones the negro had washed. A few blows were passed and Wright, taking a bread knife for protection, went to Rupert Boone, night manager, and pro- tested. Coming back to the kitch- en, he deciares, Thouruonikes leaped at him from behind a door, knife in hand and slashed at him, but missed. The two grappled and, ac cording to the negro, fell to the floor. When the Greek arose he was bleeding profusely from a stab wound in the back. Wright told the police that he believes Thouruonikes fell on his own knife, that the knife that made the wound was smaller than the bread knife he had picked up. Tsouruontkes charged that Wright had told him to stop putting the dirty dishes in with the clean ones and he retorted: “Mind your own business and I'll mind mine.” Wright is then alleged to have made for him and struck him sev- eral ¢imes. After seeing Boone, the negro is then alleged by Tsouru onikes to have come back to the kitchen and started the fight anew. Tsouruonikes further told the po- lice that he had been employed in Butte prior to coming to Seattle and that a sister lived in Utah. Rupert Boone, the manager, stayed in the front room during the fracas. LL, J. Driscoll, 21, driving a rent car for the Pioneer garage, heard the fracas from his stand out side the restaurant and notified the police when he saw Wright emerge from the kitchen covered with blood, CRUELTY PROBERS TO QUESTION SERGEANT WASHINGTON, July 25.—In its investigation of cruelty to Ameri jean soldiers in prison camps near Paris, the house sub-committee next week will question Sergeant Clarence S.
