WALLACE TO
Be HEARD
HOUSE TH1RTY.sEvENrH DAY.

"Doctor' Wallach will have nm op
portunity tonight of appearing before
the House members and exhibiting hii
collection of female rocks, the root,
Of deers' horns and the other wonder
full things from which he prepares his
elixir of life. The House has grown
tired of hearing of this fraud and de
sires to have him come forward with
some proof of the braggart ttetements
he makes in his advertising matter
Wallach may accept the invitation sent
him by the legislators, but If he does
it will be big surprise to many, his
preference so far having been to
brighten the ignorant into buying his
nostrums rather than to prove tfi
claims he makes before persons capable
of seeing through him.
The invitation to meet the House
came as the result of the debate yes
terday morning on the resolution to
allow him to practice upon a number
of leper patients, Moanauli being spon.
sor for the request. The majority of
the House members realize that to allow
or countenance the claims Cf the arrant
humbug for one minute world make
them the laughing stock of the civilized
world, but there are enough of the mem
bers seriously impressed with the ex-
travagant claims made by the quack
to keep the matter constantly before
the House and prevent, the majority
from squelching the ridiculous fffair as
promptly as they wish. 1t is realized,
too, that there are many in the Ter
ritory also impressed by reason of the
claims made by Wallach and the cock
sure way in which he throws out his
announcements of the cures he has
already effected, and the claims of these
people are worthy of some considers ton
in the House, although the pretensions
are so preposterous as to be irritating
to the average educated mar. Tonight
will probably see the end of the female
rock faker.
In connection with this agitation a
bill was presented in the House yes
terday afternoon by Kalana, one of
the Wallach dupes, which says that the
Board of Health "shall'' issue per-
nit to "any person" to treat lepers,
such permit to be good for at least
two years.
Another measure extraordinary in its
scope is the bill presented by Kaleiopu,
which makes the possession of shot
gun or box of percussion caps mis-
demeanor unless a statement of the
full particulars of the arms and am
The bill makes it necessary for any
| firm selling arms to file statements of
their stocks on hand, amounts of i'm
ports and list of purchasers, under
penalty of a fine for noncompliance.
| Whether Kaleiopu scents brewing
revolution or aims to keep firearms out
of the hands of possible resident foe
is hard to say, but the bill hints along
one or the other of these lines.
Morning Session.
A call for reports from Standing
committees when the House was call
ed yesterday morning brought two
| recommendations to table from tine
Judiciary committee. The first report
was on House Bill So, by which dis
trict magistrates would be named by
Circuit Judges instead of by the Chief
Justice, the approval of the Supreme
Court being necessary to confirm the
appointment. The objections to the
bill were that there We're in some cir
cults more than one judge and a con-
fict in authority might result, that
the approval of the Supreme Court
was feature of the bill not COM
mendable and that there was no pro-
vision in the bill providing for the
holding over of magistrates until their
successors are appointed and quail
fed.
HAWAII UNDIVIDED.
Moanauli's House Bill 145, to divide
the Island of Hawaii into two coun-
ties, was tabled on the committee re-
port. Rawlins explained that the COM
mittee had found the majority from
Hawaii overwhelmingly against the
division. They had asked one dis
tingushed Hawaii member to appear
before the committee but he had beg
ged to be excused from doing the work
of the Judiciary committee and had
not appeared. This reference was
made in the direction of the corner In
which Kaniho holds forth, Rawlins adj
ding to 1t his own remark that the
honorable member had never been
asked to do any of the committee work
and never would be.
PAYMENT OF COUNTY SALARIES.
Sheldon presented a bill relating to
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES *isss* IgHs;ssss
The amount asked for in the bill is
s5S2OO, an odd sum, thought Senator
Smith, who wanted to know Just how
the figures We're arrived at Mr.. wall
not being able to say off-hand is given
a day to look up his papers.
The committee rose at 4;O5 and re-
ported progress, asking leave to sit
again.
Senator Coelho asked for a suspen-
sion of the rules so that he could IN
troduce resolution closing the time
