THE KNOTT CHARGES.
. ■ CONDITIONS IN WELLINGTON. " -*ii CONFLICTING OPINIONS. 3g| (By Telegraph.—Press Association.)' '*£ WELLINGTON, this day. ' With reference to Colonel Knott'* statement, telegraphed from Christchurch, there is a divergence of opinion as to how far the same conditions apply to Wellington. The Rev. Fielden Taylor, who is an authority, says he has done a lot of work among the young, and has never seen the slightest thing to suggest that they take drugs. Mrs. Glover, female probation officer, however, supports Colonel Knott. She alleges that girls are dance-mad, pleasure-mad and paint and powdermad. Young girls in distress often come to her and say that they must havebeen drugged, and knew nothing about it. Mrs. Glover does not know of any secret organisations, but blames the desire for pleasure at any cost, and want of proper upbringing at home.
