VAIN SEARCH FOR OPIUM
As a result of certain information, parties of detectives and plainclothes constables raided Chinese premises in Haining and Frederick streets, and also made a raid at Lower Hutt yesterday afternoon in search of opium, but although very thorough investigations were made none was found.
The activities of the police, under Chief Detective Lopdell, in the Taranaki street area caused quite a stir, a large crowd of Europeans and Chinese collecting in the streets. The police were inside the houses for two hours.
