wALLACH IS CHEERED.

j. I0r Wallach, the star of the cast
was called upon by the crowd long
before it came to his place on the pro-
gram, but he arose as soon as the
resolution had been passed. AS he
walked out TO the front of the stand
a gorgeous red and white lei was pass
ed up from the crowd and hung
around his neck by his interpreter.
Charley Motley. Then Wallach spoke:

EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL.

EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL.
'1 am here at this meeting that I
may publicly put myself on record.
Medical science tells US that leprosy
is the least contagious of all the bacilli
diseases. CGreat applause from Wal
lach.) 1t also tells US that the most
contagious of the bacilli are those of
consumption. Leprosy is a disease
most prevalent here among the Ha-
waiians. Consumption is a disease
most prevalent here among the whites.
To the law of segregation the Hawai-
ians have given their consent, but the
whites have not consented to segre-
gate their consumptives, and the Ha-
waiians are willing that this should
be so, even though leprosy be less
contagious. 1t is to your honor as Ha-
waiians that you have consented to
this for as long as you have.
''But my point is this: For con-
you can take what medicines
you like and no one will Interfere.
What we Hawaiians demand is the
same right, with special privileges to
none. (Cheers and small protest.)
Il hear one gentleman calling in de-
rision. 1t is clear that he has no rel,
ative on Molokai. His voice, too,
sounded like that of a consumptive.
Great cheers) When I hear anyone
deriding such statements I believe in
talking to him in the words of truth.
When the daily papers speak of US in
1erision in response to the demands for
Dur rights it is un-American and,
thank God, it is not Hawaiian. II !

few months ago by Congressman of

RESOLUTION PASSED.

The resolution which had been pre-
pared for the occasion was then read
by Hon. A. S. Kaleiopu and greeted
with an outburst of applause, a call
for vote seeing a crowd yelling it's
approbation.> The resolution was sim
liar to those already presented to the
Board of Health, calling upon the
board to turn Wallach loose among a

returned home about 8 o'clock to find
her father and husband dead
Godfrey was found lying on the

and DUNCAN was lying on his bed in a
nearby room. Just what motive
prompted DUNCAN to commit the deed
is unknown. He had been sick for a
week and may have committed the act
in a fit of temporary insanity.
The last seen of DUNCAN and God
frey was when both men were sitting
on the porch of their homes in the
west end of the city about o'clock in
the evening.
Both DUNCAN and Godfrey were
prominent. Godfrey, who was about
eighty-four years old, had lived in OF
tumwa nearly all his life. He was
quite wealthy and some years ago
financed DUNCAN in a dry goods enter
prise which proved unsuccessful.
OF late years DUNCAN had been con-
Quoting a general merchandise and
grocery store in the west end of the
city. Godfrey had been making his
home with DUNCAN for number OF
years. During his term as mayor
some ten years ago, DUNCAN gained
great popularity. He was about sixty
years old and was one of large fam.
