WA|LA(H MEETING
DenOunCe Committee OF
Ten And President
Pinkham

The Wallach meeting which was
held at Aala Park last Saturday night
was well attended although Wallach
himself was unavoidably absent. The
meeting was opened by DR.. Atcher-
ley, who stated that Wallach would
not be present. He had with him
Chas Hookano, who moved his once
cramped-up fingers with apparent
ease. Hookano, in his speech said
that Wallach was all right and not
faker. 1T was he who treated my
fingers" concluded Hookano. There
is no fake in ]. Lor Wallach's cure.
The feeling which was not in my
fingers has come back and can now
feel almost anything that ! touch.
|, for one, would like TO do all | can
to help Wallach along. Some peo-
pie who had promised to pay up his
fine have gone back on him, and that
is why Wallach is not here tonight.
| challenge anyone to come forward
and prove that Wallach was faker.
He is no faker at all He is all right.
because he can do much better than
the regular doctors"
While Hookano was talking, Paulo,
a Home Ruler, asked the speaker why
II was that the Atcherleys did not
pay Wallachs fine, intimating that
Wallach got into trouble through no
fault of the native Hawaiians. Leleo,
Mrs. Atcherley's brother, VINO hap
pened along, challenged Paulo to a
fight, which certainly would have
resulted, had not the police inter-
vened.
Kewalo, a well-known Home Rul-
er, took occasion to address the meet
ing, condemning the Committee of
Ten for not abiding by the terms os
the first agreement which was signed
by President Pinkham or the Board
of Health, John Lane and J. Lor Wal
ZACH. He said that Wallach had done
more good for the Hawaiians than
the licensed physicians, who could
not straighten out the fingers, but
who were only good for drawing
their pay when the month was up.
After Kewalo closed his speech,
Hookano again addressed the meet
ing, speaking about the same as he
did before. At his own request the
people came on the stand TO scrutf-
nize the fingers.
Among the spectators were large
number of others than Hawaiians.
"Pinkham's flag is up ana victo-
Tious and the flag of the Committee
of Ten was hauled down IN defeat"
said Mrs. DR.. AtcherIey In her
speech. There. is no one In the
world who can effect a cure of the
disease Of this kind. Wallach is the
only one that can help cure those
poor unfortunates at KaIaupapa. No
physicians have been able to do any
good to them. Why was Wallach i'm
prisoned? Was 1t because ne had
cured a good many patients who
have absolutely failed to get any
better in the hands OF the physi-
clans? Wallach did not kill any OF
these patients, and yet he is suffering
the consequence of his acts. Some
people are saying that John Richard
son, who has been undergoing treat
ment by Wallach, has given goodly
sum of money to Wallach. This is
not true. Mrs. Richardson herself
admitted that no money had been
given by Wallach. As to Captain
Parker's 'keiki,' he came here with
bad sores and was treated by DR..
Atcherley and no money was passed
to or received by Wallach. Wallach
pleaded guilty to the charge because
ne was so advised by President Pin%-
ham of the Board of Health, who
intimated that Governor Frear had
told him to do so. We have only
$3.50 on hand and $3.50 would be re-
quired to enable us to pay Wallach's
fine" ID
Simeon X. Nawaa, who acted as
chairman of the meeting, asked the
people to contribute literally toward
the Walach fund to help pay his
fines of $500. He told them TO send
their donations to the Atcherleys.
Having said this, he called the meet
ing off amidst rousing cheers.
