CHINESE IN COURT
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day.
Chan Fun, a Chinese fruiterer, aged 48, one of nine men arrested in an opium den last week, was brought up for sentence before Mr. Wyvern Wilson, S.M., this morning. A medical specialist gave evidence that the man had an incurable form of tuberculosis and was an opium addict. Because of the danger of the affection it was inadvisable to send him to prison and f.e was not a suitable patient for a sanatorium but for a shelter.
"In his present state he is a menace and should be segregated," said Mr. Wilson. The accused was remanded to December 5 pending arrangements to place him in a shelter or for being shipped to China by his compatriots.

In proposing Dr. Hale. Mr. J. C. Begg said that as he was a man honoured not only in his own country but throughout the scientific world he would be "well worthy of the honour, and the New Zealand Astronomical Society would be honoured to have him as a member.
