The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1908-01-24

By the passage of the foregoing
resolution, without a negative hand
being raised, the Board of Health yes
terday gave an ultimatum to ]. Lor
Wallach.
Either the female rock specialist
must proceed to the test of his healing
powers, under the long considered
agreement between the Board, on the
one hand, and wallach, and the poll
ticians exploiting him, together with
chosen representatives of the Molokai
Settlement people, on the other hand,
or else the Board of Health will be
quit of Wallach and his sponsors once
| for all.
wallach was present to hear the
decision and wanted the opportunity to
interpose objections, as he had always
done when a test of his claims was
approached.
Motley, the Home Rule leader. was
also there to do more politics-the on
ly one of the seven politicians from the
three parties, who had forced the Wal
ZACH issue upon the Board, to stand
by their man at the finish.
What it was that Wallach desired
to say he did not get far enough to
make known.
Motley compelled attention long
enough to show that he wished TO
convict President Pinkham of having
changed the conditions of Wallach's
proposed experiment after they had
been agreed upon and transmitted to
the joint political committee.
In this intended procedure Motley
was forestalled by the president, who
had informed the Board that the
stenographer had made an error in
transcribing the conditions. Mr.. Pink
hams statement was confirmed by
word for word comparison of the cor
rected agreement, referred to in the
resolution as above, with the minutes
of the Board.
Absolute silence followed the pres
ident's reference of the separate re-
quests of Motley and Wallach for
hearings to the Board, showing that
none of the members desired any more
debate of the question at large.
THE PRESIDENTS STATEMENT.
Mr.. Pinkham's submission of the
matter in writing to the Board was as
follows:
