MANY BRAND WALLACH As FAKER

urged the healer, who eventually con-
! fessed that he did not know the girls

wen. this is the only eleven-year-
old girl we had from Hilo, and if you
treated her you did not treat leper,'
said Pinkham. who went on to refer
to the way in which the Legislature
was stampeded and the justifiable way
| their resolution had been turned down
by the Board of Health. He then went
on "a tell of the external improve
rnent possibIe in cases of leprosy and
told of claimed cures in Louisiana.
| Were the cases of the boys from
Hama. with whom you were photo
granhed. Iepers or not?" he asked,
Il never said they We're" was the
healer's reply.
..Dodging again. I see. I would like
you TO answer yes or no."
NO, then" was Wallach's reply.
you're right, they were not" com>
mented Pinkham who went on to say
that if Dr.. Goodhue were to claim
cures every time he helped leper he
would be always making such claims.
| He writes that he has at last been
able to separate the bacilli of leprosy'
I don't know if he has or not but at
anv rate we have gone as far in seek
ing a cure as they have anywhere IN
the world.
/ DR.. WAYSON IS WILLING.
DIR. Wayson followed the President,
stating that in view of the public
oIamor he would support motion to
let Wallach prove his claims under
proper restrictions.
Il think that the statement made by
the President is the correct position OF
the board, he said, but in detault Oh
my better judgment 1 am going 10
Withdraw from the stand taken when
we turned down the joint resolution.
II was perfectly right that we did turn
down that resolution, because it was
q. personal matter between Wallach
and the Legislature and should have
been turned down by the Legislature
4 itself. WalIach admitted before the
Legislature that he was a fraud and
liar. Anyone who had such a 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
Hawaiian people. They have sent in
a petition and, I am fully convinced
believe that cure is at hand So II
7 vote it will be because of the aloha
I have for the Hawaiians, not because
have anv 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 liar and a
fraud. But he is too shrewd and goes
behind the ignorance Of the people,
where we can not reach him.
l.sThere 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,
will put myself down to Wallach
level can not raise him to mlne-and
/ would vote to let him.
cHILLINGWORTH HITS PINKHAM.
Senator Chillingwortb, who drew up
the Republican petition, said:
II regret very much that this agl-
tation has come up, but fear it viii
come up again and again. ms agl-
tation is the worst we have ever had.
sponsible for it as anyone. At the
time the joint resolution was before
the LEGISLATURE you stated that you
thought it would be good thing to
let Wallach practise so as to show him
UP. / believed then, and 1 believe stlll'
, that Wallach is a fake. But L think
, also of the suffering of the people at
the Settlement and I want to do every
-, hot k
ing for them.
1T do not know and I do not believe
thai wallach can cure leprosy, but
ninety-five per cent. of the Hawanans
do believe that he can. They believe
hat wallach is a second Messiah. and
!. for the sake of the public L believe
, thar wallach should be given the
chance he asks for, chance to prove
what he says or else to prove himself
| a fake. l agree that this is lowering
to the Board of Health, but with
rinety-five per cent. of the Hawaiians
cIamoring for him, 1 believe that he
sbo,,ld he allowed to treat a certain
| number of lepers.
..c,iva him a chance. If he Is the
fake 7 think he is, then I am in favor
of a hemp rope and the nearest tele-
| qranh mole for him. If he can make
. good one-tenth of tho things ne
claims then I 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
ZACH, but urged his claims for trial.
} II want to prove to the Hawaiians
that the Board of Health is doing all
IT can for the lepers," he stated, and
is not trying to prevent cures in order
that it may have money to spend to
, benefit certain merchants in Honolu-
lu. For l tell you, gentlemen, that
that is now a very common remark
; among the Hawaiians. If Wallach
can not make the cures he says ne
! can he will have condemned himself
and he will have to leave the Terri
tory"
