CIVILIAN ASSISTANCE.
DR FINDLAY SUGGESTS LIMITATION. Wellington, April 12. Th© Hon. Dr'Findlay, Minister of Justice, sent the following telegram to the Mayor of Palmerston North this morning: — "In order to organise the present search for Powelka upon the safest and most effective lines, I respectfully suggest to you that you co-operate with the police in limiting the voluntary assistance of civilians to capable and reliable men. Possibly you have already done this; in such event, or should you do so, please accept my thanks." ■
The Mayor of Palmerston. replied this evening to the Hon. Dr Findlay's message: "Thanks for your wire. I have been in constant touch with the police for some days. We are quite of the opinion that it is inadvisable to call for further volunteer assistance, and the number has been considerably limited to selected men. If necessary I will take further action."
