that the planters had sent people to
Molokai is a statement published as
coming from him, and which he states
TO be true. IT was written by Paul Bart
lett. then a reporter on The Advertiser
and now a member of the Bulletin staff.
The article which appeared on June

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
tor s last arrival in Honolulu, Bartlett
again represented himself as an Adver.

statement yesterday, and received an
explanation which he afterwards con-
verted to suit himself.

O'Day thought he was addressing an
Advertiser man, but he WASH t, 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,

Bulletin itself or merely the reporter

says, proved to him that it was the

hospital without requesting payment
from them, and then demanding the
money from him, which he was forced
to go out and collect. He leaves it to
be understood that the doctors insti-
gated the policy.

his leg, he carried the boy to the Pa

would set the leg gratuitously, 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.
Against the Queens Hospital he pre-
