ASSISTANCE OF RESIDENTS DENIAL OF SOUVENIR-HUNTING [by telegraph—press association] WELLINGTON, Thursday A strong denial pf a report that souvenir-hunters were active, among the wreckage following the discovery of the aeroplane crash yesterday was given by the secretary of the Wellington Aero Club, Mr. A.
