NO SETTLEMENT
IN RE WALLACE
A MEETING WHICH LEFT MAT
TIERS JUST WHERE THEY WERE
BEFORE THE MEETING.

The meeting Of the Committee OF
Ten" native politicians with President
Pinkham of the Board of Health yes
terday afternoon was satisfactory to
all concerned SO far as surface indi-
cations were concerned, but that
doesn't weaken the conviction that
Wallach never intends to be brought
to a test of his alleged proves in
the field of medicine.
Only short time was required to
finish the business of yesterdays
meeting after the politicians had con-
cluded some private caucus meetings
outside. WallaCh was present but
did not once open his mouth to speak
during the entire proceedings He
displayed a lively interest in what
went on however, and made Copious
hieroglyphic notes on his cuff
At the conclusion of the meeting
Senator Chillingworth offered a reso-
luton thanking President Pinkham
and the Board of Health for what they
have thus far done" which was for
| mally put by Senator Lane, who acted
as chairman for the Committee of
Ten, and carried
Just outside the door of President
! Pinkhams Office when the meeting
had broken up, II. Baggerley, of the
! San Francisco Bulletin, who accom-
was present at the meeting out of
| curiosity, was introduced to Or"
Walach by Charlie Chillingworth. 81
am very glad to meet you, DR.. Wal
ZACH" said the newspaperman. You
are the physician in charge of the leper
! settlements"
! The query was made by one wholly
ignorant of Wallach'se status, but Wal
ZACH evidently thought he was being
"llidded' and his very short negative
indicated as much.
Pinkham opened the meeting by pre-
senting a typewriter statement ex-
planning the conditions under which
Wallach is to be given his chance, to-
gether with a certified copy of both
the articles of agreement and the petit
ton of the lepers on Molokai The
explanation stated that it was not in
tended that WallaCh should be a pTis
Oner with his patients during the year
in which the experiment is to be
carried out but that the Board of
Health would insist that on certain
hours be decided upon for all deliveries
and communications to the hospital,
and that Wallach's attendance and
presence shall be expected during GER
tain hours of the day and night He
is to have no other occupation than
that of treating the lepers placed in
; his charge, and his coming and going
from the compound must be registered
/ by him each time. The president Of
the board promised that high stan
, dard of comfort and subsistence would
be provided for him by the board
President Pinkham spent some little
time in explaining to the committee
the plans on which the accommoda-
tions at the Kalihi receiving station
are to be arranged for Wallach's tests,
and assured the members that the
money would be forthcoming for its
liberal fulfllment, even though the ap-
preparation might be insufficient
Everything seemed to be satisfactory
and no point was questioned except
that of time. Mossman wanted to
know if the cures" could not be ar
ranged to begin Immediately and not
| 10 OF Of hn hV1f1
ings as provided for in the agreement.
Pinkham declared positively no. The
present facilities he said are not ade-
quate for over four or five patients,
and he would hear to no altering of
the arrangement in this regard.
Mossman said that they had under
stood that the agreement provided for
beginning business at once and not
having to wait for six weeks or two
months in order to get started On
this understanding Wallach had been
wired to come back from his tour OF
the other islands, and considerable in
convenience and expense had been
, caused.

that he could have learned the facts
at the expenditure of ten cents for
car fare by coming to him for his in

p After the meeting an unsigned COM
munication was handed to President
p Pinkham from the committee in which
a kick was registered about the res
p trictions to Wallach's coming and go
ing when and where he liked while
. treating the lepers, and declared the
right of Wallach and a committee OF
. three members of the Committee OF
Ten" going to Molokai to assist II

treated
