FRUITLESS OPIUM RAID
CHINESE HOUSES SEARCHED IN VAIN WELLINGTON POLICE WORK Press Association WELLINGTON, Today. A large party of detectives and plain-clothes constables raided houses in Haining Street, the city’s Chinese quarter, yesterday afternoon, and for well over an hour carried on a fruitless search for opium. In three of the houses the thoroughness of the search was made apparent to the crowd gathered outside by the sounds of old floor boards being pulled up. While the search was proceeding the entire Chinese population of Haining Street seemed to gather on the footpath opposite.
