Doctor o Day denies absolutely that
The Telegram ever submitted any
proofs to him.
His account of the meetings between
himself and representatives of the
Portland papers in substance, is that
while he was getting into an automobile
at the door of the building in which
The Telegram has its offices and where
his offices also were, a reporter came to
him and told him that Hawaiian who
was playing Mt one of the cafes had
pointed him (the doctor) out as the one
who had set free the first ten lepers.
"That is not 500 Doctor O'Day saws
he said and then told the reporter that
as he was busy then he would come
around in the evening and talk to him.
O'Day then got into the machine and
went to the st. Vincent s Hospital

Then, says o 'Day, he went to the Of

and asked if reporter wished to speak
to him. Upon being referred to the
proper man he gave his version of the
affair, corrected the supposition that
he had started the campaign to free
the inmates of Kalaupapa, and denies
emphatically again that he ever said
anything derogatory to Hawaii.
"What ! did say" said Doctor
Day, sis that / wanted him to be
sure to say that there was gang of
men in Honolulu who were trying to
keep me out of the hospitals and l see
he didn t say it7'

in the Bulletin which had offered snap

This Doctor O'Day says, is his stand

Bulletin Misrepresentation.
Bartlett went to Molokai with Doc
tor o Day and shared the same state
room. O'Day then knew him as an
Advertiser reporter, and upon the doc
tors last arrival in Honolulu, Bartlett
again represented himself as an Adver.
tiser man, according to the doctor IS
statement yesterday, and received an
explanation which he afterwards con-
verted to suit himself.
While not saying outright that he
was an Advertiser man, Day, accord
ing to the doctor S statement, address,
ed him as such, and Bartlett tacitly
accepted the position. AT any rate,
O'Day thought he was addressing an
Advertiser man, but he WASH u, and he
claims that the statements he made
were entirely misrepresented again.
He states that when he wrote the
letter to The Advertiser contradicting
Bartlett's alleged interview with him,
he did not know WI ether it was the
Bulletin itself or merely the reporter
that was SO anxious to misrepresent
him, but Bartlett IS quick reply, he
says, proved to him that it was the
reporter as well as the paper,
Foundation for Charges.
AS to his charges against the med
ical association, Doctor o Day rs state
ments were rather vague, and while he
alleges the fact emphatcally that he is
being closed out by local doctors, whom
he desired to "expose' in Portland, he
does not give directly the reasons
therefor, but leaves it to be under
stood that it is because of superior
ability in certain matters.
Among the charges against the med
cos preferred by O'Day is one that
the Palama Hos ital authorities were
permitting his patients to leave the
from them, and then demanding the
money from him, which he was forced
to go out and collect. He leaves it ia
be understood that the doctors insti-
gated the policy.
When he recently ran a Japanese
boy down in his automobile and broke
his leg, he carried the boy to the Pa
lama Hospital and stated that he
would set the leg grahlitously, which
he did He claims that he made no
other arrangements to pay the ex.
penses of the boy while in the hospi-
tai, but the authorities presented the
bill to him just the same.
Frank Atherton could not be reach

matter.
