CITY UNDER GUARD
ALARM IN CHRISTCHURCH SEARCH FOR INCENDIAEISTS (Special to tho Herald.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. Already the number of detectives in Christchurch have been considerably increased and for more effectively coping with incendiarism the force has been divided into two distinct corps. Inspector Rawle, of Wellington, will direct the efforts to trace the perpetrators of the recent outbreaks. This is the first time in the history of the Dominion that an inspector has been placed in charge of the detective branch for such a purpose. The city and suburbs are being patrolled night and day by a small army of police officers and detectives. Motorcars, motor-cycles and bicycles are being used for transport. It is claimed that there is not an unprotected street in the whole of the city area.
