Delegate to Congress Kuhto return.
ed this morning from his trip to Molo-
kai, where he went to visit the Leper
Settlement and tell the inhabitants
that, as a result of a new meeting he
had with the Board of Health. as
related in The Star yesterday, there
is now an excellent chance that the
much-discussed Wallach will be- tried
as a curer. Kuhio visited the settle
ment under a permit. The result of
his trip was to considerably quieten
the lepers
Most of the members of the Board
Of Health are non-communicative re-
garding the latest turn which the Wal
ZACH matter has taken Attorney Cen
eral Hemenway who has been opposed
to letting Wallach have anything to
do with the lepers of the Territory all
along said this morning: Il decline
to be interviewed I have nothing to
say"
He followed this up, however, by
remarking: Il have stated my posi-
ton pretty plainly in the past and
have no inclination to change my
views" He declined to say whether
or not he attended the little evening
gathering at President Pinkham S
apartments in the Young Hotel at
which Cupid was given authority to
visit the Settlement ard to calm the
trouble there by promising favorable
action on the Wallach matter at a lat
er meeting He did not attend the
meeting of the Board yesterday be-
cause as he stated, he had reason to
think that there would be nothing
brought up but routine matter and ne
could not well spare the time. You
may be assured that had l suspected
what was to have developed | should
have been there"
DR.. Baldwin also had nothing to say
on the matter, except to reaffirm that
his attitude towards Wallach had not
been changed one iota from what 1t
has always been-that Wallach is a
rank fake, and that the Board should
not listen to any propositions concern
ing him whatever
DR.. Wayson, who heretofore has
been the only member of the Board
to advise and urge letting Wallacn
prove himself a faker, with the excep-
ton of the Hawaiian member, DAVID
Kalauokalani, stated that as things
now stand he thinks that the Board is
committed by understandings with
Prince Cupid THE next meeting /
expect will develop a big fight" he
said, but | look for the results to be
different this time from what they
have been in the past. If, as l UNDER
stand, Mark Robinson proposes to cast
his vote with Kalauokalani and my
SELF we shall tie the vote, and Presi-
dent Pinkham will have no recourse
but to take a position one way or the
other. l think I know which way he
will vote. I was the one who tainted
Hemenway a little about his scruples
in changing his mind. / don't know
whether he has or not, but l wouldn't
be surprised if he has decided to do It.
If he does Pinkham's vote will not
be needed"
President Pinkham would not talR
much this morning. He stated that
he had nothing to say, except that the
reporters do not know it all, and thai
time will prove that they have beer
wrong and he right. He was appar.
emily not in an amiable frame of minC
when seen by a Star man.
Charley Motley this morning seemed
to be very much elated over the
prospective decision of the Board
of Health regarding Wallach 81
am very much pleased the BoarC
of Health have seen fit to grant
Wallach permission to treat some
of the lepers, which has beer
requested by the Hawaiian PEG
pie, but for some reason up to now
