WALLACE WILL be
HERE WEDNESDAY
Wants to Be on Hand When the
Board Declares
Itself.

Wallach is in Hilo, but will prob
| ably return to Honolulu by the Kinau
on Saturday Such is the statement
made by Charles Motley.
The supposition seems to be that
| Wallach wants to be here to be on
| hand when the Board of Health meets
next Wednesday, at which time Presi-
dent Pinkham promises that the whole
matter shall be made plain. At which
time, also, it is expected that the
boards plan for giving Wallach the
opportunity he has been asking for to
test his remedies will be made public
Wallach seems to have abandoned
his plan for tour of the islands, in
order to get here in time for the
meeting Wednesday. He has not gone
to any part of the Island of Hawaii
except Hilo.
Delegate Kuhio returned from Molo-
kai yesterday morning. He says that
he went of his own volition and not
with any authority from the board !
to make arrangements with the people !
there for the Wallach tests. He says |
that he heard that there was likely !.
to be trouble there and he went over
to quiet it if he could. He says that
he was well received by the people,
and that they came nearly half way
up the hill to meet him, he going into
the Settlement over the pail
Charles Motley says that his brother
writes him that the Delegate was
rather coldly received and that a large
of the people there, himself
among the number, would not go to
the meeting which was called to listen
to what the Delegate had to say.
1t seems altogether probable that the
Delegate Is speaking in an official and
not in personal or specific way when
he says that he went to the Settle
nent without any understanding with
the Board of Health, and with no prom
ses or representations to make to the
people there. Kuhio had permit from
the President of the board to go into
he Settlement, and such permits are q
not usually granted without the Pres
dent knowing pretty we'll what is
wanted with them.
President Pinkham had a conference :
With Kuhio after the return of the
after yesterday morning and he SEEM
I'd very much pleased with the result I
If it. However, he would not say any
ming regarding the matter, insisting
hat he would make a full and COM
,lete, and satisfactory statement at
he meeting of the board next We'd
1esday.
There is much to indicate that there
S considerable inharmony in the
Board of Health on the Wallaeh ques
ion. Fred Smith did not attend at
east two of the private meetings of /
he board. DR.. Wayson has consistent
Y held that the question is not one
# whether Wallach is a fake or not,
,ut is one of policy in view of the
act that the lepers are regarded by
he law as incurable, but naturally y
heir hopes are aroused by any claim

Vallach'S claims as as drowning man n
rasps a. a straw David Kalauoka-
ami entertains very much the same
