CHINESE OPIUM
DEN 1S RAIDED
BY DETECTIVES

Two Detectives and Six Chinese
are Injured — Keeper sets
Building on Fire—Police
Jump to Street.

(Special to The Dally Newe)

Vancouver, March 3.—Detec-
tives Ricci and Sinclair, of the
city police force, and six Chineses
were injured last night in a raid
on a notorious opium den on
Shanghai Alley. Two of the
Chinese are serjously injured.
When the detectives reached
the upper room, the keeper of
the den flung a kerosene lamp
with a number of opium pipes in
the stove, the flames cutting off
oe stairway. The detectives cut
their way through with axes;
forced the iron bars on the win-
dows, and leaped to the street,
twenty feet below, after forcing
the Chinese oecupants of the den
to jump for safety. The fire
brigade was quickly on the scene
and prevented the fire from
spreading to the adjoining build-
ings.

RED CROSS DANCE

The dance held in the Catholic
Hall last night in aid of the Red
Cross fund, under the auspices
of Mrs. Frizzell, Mrs. Henning,
Mrs. Morrow and Mrs. Morrissey,
the ladies on the committee of the
British booth at the Carnival of
the Allies, was a pronounced suc-
cess, about sixty being present.
The ladies wish to thank all
who contributed to the success
of the evening, especially the Rev.
Father Bunoz for his kindness in
granting the use of the hall and
Mrs. Wells and Messrs. Balagno
and Harvey for the splendid music
which they provided. All present
had a most enjoyable time and
about $30 was realized.
