QUEEN CARNIVAL
ARTICLES RAFFLED TO RAISE FUNDS. CHAIRMEN OF COMMITTEES FINED. (Per United Presa Association.) Dunedin, October 13. As a sequel to the Queen Carnival, in which articles were raffled to raise funds, four chairmen of various committees appeared voluntarily in the Police Court to answer charges of establishing a lottery by which prizes were gained by mode of chance. The Magistrate indicated that he had every sympathy with the objects of the campaign to raise funds for the relief of distress, but it would be improper for him not to enter a conviction. Three of defendants were each fined 20/- and costs. A conviction only was entered against the fourth, but on a charge of selling liquor at a dance he was fined a similar amount. The dance was also promoted to assist the queens’ funds.
