DEPARTING GREEKS ANGRY
Trouble on Pier Holds Ship
Back Over an Hour.

There was trouble yesterday on the
Cunard pier as the steamship lvernla was
about to depart for the Levant. the YES
sci which was scheduled to leave port at
noon. was detained until l:2 p. IN. be-
cause the assembled Greek warriors from
Chicago, Philadelphia and this city got
excited over such small thihg as uh'h-
viting steerage quarters.
There were men from Chicago whose
great ancestors had foregathered win
Lysander. Philadelphia sent on young
Hoods whose forebears had hurled spears
at Thermopyle. and all these, In UNIFORM
minglIng with their brethren from New
York. marched under great tension
aboard the Ivernia. With no one to lead
them TO the quarters to which they De-
Ionged. the 3s5 stormed the married quar-
tiers OF the steerage. which at that mo-
m4nt happened TO be filled to capacity
with Italians.
II was a time when difference In tongues
did not disguise sentiments. The intru-
sion OF the Greeks into the wrong com
partments put them In wrong with the
Italians. and the lighting men OF Greece
were keyed up to the breaking point when
some Italians called them dogs"
You are all pigs! roared other Ital-
ians.
You will be eaten alive when you face
the Turks!'
1t was all in Italian but the Greeks UNI
derstood. and right about-face. marched
the warriors to the pier They had rifles
and revolvers. as well as uniforms. hut
ammunition was not at hand. For while
II seemed as II the Iyernia would have to
sail without a single Greek, but John
Pappas. Of Coney Island. went to the res
cue by sending for Constantine Papa
mlchalopouos, general manager OF the
Pan Hellenic Union OF America.
He was the only man who could appeal
10 them, so he spoke from a rostrum Of
cargo. Some were attentive for a mo-
ment and then marched away. Others he
held by strong appeal to their patriot
ism. Surely any Greek who was going
home to fight must not complain of UNI
attractive quarters, nor must he care IL
he Is housed for a time with Italians. The
heroes Of the Peloponneslan wars never
quibbled over trifies, and why should their
offspring now do II?
BY degrees he won the men back. Her
man Winter. OF the Cunard Line. poured
oil upon the troubled waters, and escort
ed the majority OF the Greek patriots TO
the quarters, that had been assigned to
them, and harmony again prevailed. A
few obstinate soldier men were later
pushed aboard. the gangplank was hauled
ashore, and every Greek In the party had
left the country.
Miss Violet Bergher. of Berwick. Penn.
and Mrs. c. A. Palios. wife Of the COM
mander OF the Philadelphia volunteers,
were saloon passengers on the Ivernia.
Both women will offer their services to
the Red Cross on their arrival at the
Piraus. and will act az field nurses. Miss
Bergher is engaged to one of the volun-
tcers.

ARGUE KUNITZER'S APPEAL
Medical Society to Do Nothing
Pending a Decision.

DR.. Robert Kunitzers appeal from the
order OF Justice Gerard denying his APP
plication TO restrain the County Medical
Society from voting anew on the resolu-
ton TO expel the doctor from member
ship In the society was heard by the
Justices OF the Appellate Division yester-
day
Or. Kunitzer was expelled from the
County Medical Society on December a.
1910, on charges OF classifying records in
Sydenham Hospital TO bolster statements
made by DR.. Louis Anton Ewald that he
had performed a large number Of opera
tons for cancer with low resultant
mortality. He was expelled on vote OF
1922 to 49, He appealed 10 the State Med
zeal Society on several points, but mainly
on the ground that he had not been eX-
PEELED by a three-fourths vote OF all MEM
bers present, which was the rule OF the
society. DR.. Kunitzer contended that
six hundred persons were present, and
consequently less than three-fourths Of
those present voted for his expulsion.
The State Medical Society ordered the
county society to vote anew on the propo-
sition. but the president OF the County
Medical Society was served with an order
restraining the society from voting, which
order was vacated after the County Med
ical Society had adjourned for the sum-
mer.

London, Oct ITO day is the fate
tul day for Europe. The Turkish For
eign Minister, in an interview at Con-
stantinople last night, made this grave
announcement:
I'VE have not yet had time infinitely
to examine the joint note from the
powers. This Is not due on our part to
any want Of appreciation Of the COM
mendable efforts which the powers are
making to prevent an armed conflict
in the Balkans. or any desire on our
part to maintain the present severe
tension.
"The Cabinet sat on Thursday all day
long. from an early hour, and the note
Of the powers reached us shortly be-
fore midnight. l am not saying this
by way of reproof. for whatever may
be the outcome of the present situa-
ton Turkey will always gratefully re-
member the laudable and disinterested
efforts which the powers are now max
ing to find happy and bloodless so'u-
ton Of the difficulty.
THE ministers, however. had reached
the limit OF physical endurance on
Thursday. Friday was the Moslem
Sabbath, but on Saturday the comma-
nication from the powers will receive
the very earnest and careful considera-
ton Of the Cabinet. l cannot attempt
