Proof Is Demanded
Of WalIachmen
By Board of Health
BECOMES POLITICAL ISSUE NOW, SAYS MOTLEY

until such time as satisfactory
proof of the alleged cures OF leprosy
by J. Lor Wallach shall be produced,
the President of the Board of Health
Is hereby instructed to inform all par
ties concerned that negotiations are
at an end"
BY the adoption of the above reso-
luton yesterday afternoon the Board
OF Health called the hand of Lor
Wallach and his manager, Charles X
Motley, and put It up to them fatty
to prove whether they are honest in
their claims or are merely trying to
make political and financial capital
out of the agitation that they have
stirred up.
In view of the statements made be-
fore and after the adoption of this
resolution by both Wallach and Not
ley, that they never will produce the
proof demanded, this means that Wal
ZACH, Motley & Co. are completely
turned down by the Board of Health.
unless they have the good judgment
to change their tactics.
The resolution was adopted by n
iour-to-two vote just before the close
of the meeting yesterday, after the
matter had again been threshed out
in detail. Fred. Smith made the mo-
ton and those who voted in favor of
its adoption were Smith. Robinson,
Hemenway and Baldwin. Kalauoka-
lani and Wayson voted no.
Before this Kalauokalani had in
| PRODUCED resolution to allow Wal
| ZACH to treat lepers. but this was
turned down by the same vote.
After .he meeting adjourned, Not
ley. who was present throughout, hur-
tied out into the corridor. and, pac-
ing up and down, shrieked obiurga-
tons at President Pinkham and the
members of the Board of Health with
the exception of Kalauokalani and
Wayson.
Mr.. Pinkham, YOU have lied" he
howled, shaking his fist in impotent
lut carefully calculated rage. You
have lied; you have lied. You have
lied to the Committee of Seven at Ka.
iaupapa. You have lied to the 527
lepers at the settlement.
you, Mr.. Pinkham, and you men,
beys of the Board of Health, are try
ing to ruin the Hawaiian people. You
would like to send them all to Molo-
Eai You have not kept your word
Mr.. Pinkham.
Proof, proof! What proof do you
want? What do you call proof. Dc
you mean that you want to make an
examination and find out whether
there are any germs under the skin
What proof do you want, say?"
Pinkham, who was standing quiet,
iy in the door, tried to answer him.
but he had not got three words out OF
his mouth before Motley howled hin
down, drowning the quiet tones Of
the President of the Board under his
big voice as he yelled: "Oh, it's nj
use for you to talk. I know what
YOU would do. You would just put {
little bacillus under the skin anC
lend the man to Molokai.
This thing goes into politics from
this time. tell you now, Mr.. Pink

Health, you have driven us to 1t.
