IMMIGRANTS' CHARACTER

A REPORT CONTRADICTED.

WELLINGTON, Jan. 26. Commenting on ivir Smith's remarks that a number of girls who came out by the Rotorua were obviously of loose character, Mr A. Crawford, editor of the Voice of Labor, a South African paper, said he saw nothing on the trip over that could be condemned in any way. Altogether the ship's company was a most respectable one, and New Zealand is fortunate to get such a fine body of immigrants. He gave the statement made by. Mr Smith a most emphatic denial.
