DIR. WAYSON IS WILLING.
DIR. Wayson followed the President
stating that in view of the public
clamor he would support a motion tC
proper restrictions.
L think that the statement made by
the President is the correct position of
the board" he said. but in default OF
my better judgment I am going to
withdraw from the stand taken when
We turned down the joint resolution.
1t was perfectly right that we did turn
down that resolution, because it was
a personal matter between Wailach
and the Legislature and should have
been turned down by the Legislature
itself. Wallach admitted before the
Legislature that he was fraud and a
liar. Anyone who had such cure as
he says he has would not come to Ha-
wall, and if they did would not pre-
sent the cure in the quack way he has.
But the question now is one of the
Hawaiian people. They have sent in
a petition and, I am fully convinced,
believe that cure is at hand. So, IL
I vote it will be because of the aloha
l have for the Hawaiians, not because
I have any faith whatever in Wal
ZACH. If Wallach was fair with us and
would present his alleged cures, We
would convince him within twenty
four hours of being both a liar and a
fraud. But he is too shrewd and goes
behind the ignorance of the people.
where we can not reach him.
l"There is much of politics in this
matter now, but if two respectable
leaders of each of the parties would
come to this board and would give us
reasonable assurances that the expert
ments would be faithfully carried on,
1 will put myself down to Wallach's
level can not raise him to mine-and
1 would vote to let him."
CurrI HITS pINKHAM
Senator Chillingworth, who drew up
the Republican petition, said:
II regret very much that this agi-
tation has come up, but I fear it will
come up again and again. This agi-
tation is the worst We have ever had.
You, Mr.. Pinkham, are as much re-
sponsible for it as anyone. At the
time the joint resolution was before
the Legislature you stated that you
thought it would be a good thing to
let Wallach practise so as to show him
up. l believed then, and believe still,
that Wallach is fake. But l think
also of the suffering of the people at
the Settlement and want to do every
thing to show them that we are work.

q do not know and I do not believe
that Wallach can cure leprosy, but
per cent. of the Hawaiians
do believe that he can. They believe
hat Wallach is a second Messiah, and
for the sake of the public I believe
that Wallach should be given the

graph pole for him. If he can make
good one-tenth of the things he
then 1 will take off my hat to
him."
WHAT HAWAIIANS BELIEVE.
Senator John C. Lane argued much
along the same lines as Chilling
worth. He stated his disbelief in Wal
ach, but urged his claims for a trial.
Il want to prove to the Hawaiians
that the Board of Health is doing all
