CI Health to allow him to practice ON /
the lepers would be an allying of the /
Territory with proven liar and
lake.
And yet Charlie Chiningworth
signed the petition asking that Wal

advocated such action on the floor,
saying that though he believed Wal
ZACH to be a falSir, yet, to satisfy the

Republican Petition
The important part Of the petition
presented by the Republican leaders
esterday is as follows:
Whereas, during the year last
past, the Hawaiian people have been
ed to believe that one, j. Lor Wal
ZACH, has cure for the said dreaded
disease known as leprosy; and
Whereas, the agitation has been
so great that your petitioners believe
that there is and will be a great deal
Of dissatisfaction If said j. Lor Wal
Zach is not permitted to have an OPP
uortunity to demonstrate what he
and his so-called cure can do; and
Whereas, any step which your
honorable body can take to alleviate,
which about a thousand friends, rel
atives and acquaintunces are alleged
70 be afflicted with would be an act
Of humanity;
Your petitioners would respect
fully and humbly pray in the inter-
osts of humanity that
, THE said ]. Lnr Wallach may be

, sons, now at the Molokai settlement,

choose a fifth, who shall examine said
persons declared by the Board Of

3 orabIe body as to whether said per
sons treated by said j. Lor Wallace
10 above are afflicted with the dis
ease of leprOsy or not, or whether
> auch improvement has been made "a
to warrant an extension of time Il
said !. LOr WallaCh to effect cure.
Among those VINO spoke on tn,
subject of allowing WallaCh to treat
. lepers there was not one, with the
ringle exception of Charlie Motley
who did not say that he believed the
, female-rOck specialist to be n fraur
and liar utterly incapable of cur
ing leprosy. But all of them, witt
the exceptions Of Piakham and DR.
Baldwin, expressed themselves as be
ing in favor of yielding to popular
Clamor and giving Wallach Il chance
merely to satisfy the Hawaiians, who
demanded such action.
Prince Cupid made a fiery speech
in which he denounced Wallach as ;
fraud and a quaCk, and said that hh
very presence at the meeting, will
his smirk, was an insult to IN,
Board and that he ought to be thrown

nearly all the rest of them, wound III
