THE SMALL DETAILS
BOARD OF HEALTH STILL UNABLE
TO ACT WITH DIRECTNESS RE
GARDING WALLACE.

bkAlNDl4NH NEAlAlAAAlls
The Wallach matter is still up in
the air. The meeting of the Board of
Health on Wednesday afternoon left it
apparently as far from settlement as
ever, and when the meeting adjourned
after an hour of talk, no appreciate
progress had been made,
All of the members of the Board
were present at the meeting except At
torney General Hemenway, while OF
the famous committee of ten which
acts as Wallach's representatives, John
Lane, Supervisors Harvey and Fern,
Charlie Motley, Shanks Mossman aud
seceral others were present, including
Of course, the everlasting female rock
doctor
Wallach wants to 20 to the settle
ment with several of the members OF
the committee of ten" and have a
hand in the selection of the subjects
on whom the healer is to work his
spells. At least this is the point on
which he is just now enlarging to
keep up the pretense he is making of
being sincere in his desire to be given
a fair Snow If the Board does acceed
to this demand it will simply demand
a little ingenuity to rake up more OBJ
jections, to avoid carrying out his
boosted promises.
Besides wanting to so to the Settle
ment Wallach also demands the right
to go and come from the hospital to
be established at Kalihi at will, and
not be subject to the Board of Health
at all. The Board demands that it
shall have charge of the outer gate
and that the doctor shall register
his goings and comings
Dr. Wayson, who has from the first
advocated letting Wallach have plenty
of rope in the conviction that he would
soon wind up his career, and who as
a result has been hailed as the only
fair white man on the board by the
Hawaiian demagogues, has now showed
signs of turning. He made an adj
dress to the Hawaiians in which he
demanded to know whether or not
Wallach refuses to sign the agree
ment unless allowed to go to the set
Element. He was not able to get an
unequivocal answer to this, however,
although he put the question to Lane
straight several times. Lane side
stepped with a lot of hot air, as do
Motley and Mossman, all of them chew
ing over the same old story about
aloha for the sufferers at Molokai, the
hardship of bringing some here who
may have to be rejected by Wallach
on account of their being afflicted with
some complicating diseases aside from
leprosy, etc, etc.
Wayson declared that as a member
of the Board he would not consent TO
have Wallach go to the settlement.
All he wants to get there for, Wayson
| declared, is to stir up trouble and
disturb the peace of the settlement by
hot air speeches. He wouldn't stand
| for that. Wallach was to have two
physicians to represent him in select
! ing the twelve patients for the expert
ment, and these were to be chosen from
candidates selected by the lepers them
! selves.
Wallach wanted to address the meet
ing. President Pinkham wouldn't have
anything to do in the matter, but put
it up to the Board Wayson moved
not to let Wallach talk. The body
was comforting with the committee o.
ten" and not with Wallach. This
motion prevailed by a vote of three t
two, DR.. Baldwin and F. c. Smith vot
ing against it.
Smith stated that he would ask t
be excused from voting on the PROPOSE
ton to let Wallach go to the Settle
ment, or any other alterations Of thu
conditions. He didn't think, inasmucl
as the board lad consented to trea
with Wallach that he should be treated
like a rascal, and denied a right to b.
heard. DR.. Baldwin voiced similaI
sentiments, although he with Smith
has heretofore been most uncompromis
ingly against Wallach.
Pinkham suggested that inasmuch a
the experiments cannot begin for SCI
eral weeks yet the matter might res
for a week without serious harm, ant
Wayson made a motion that it be lai'
over till another meeting which car
ried A motion that the question q
letting Wallach amend the articles b.
submitted to the lepers themselves
was offered by DR.. Baldwin and Car
