TALKING OF VICE,
The Crusade Gathered Impetus From tho
Meeting.

The Crusade Gathered Impetus From the
Meeting.
The completion of the committee of l0C
and the meeting at Y. NJ. g.. A. Hall, last
evening, has to some extent started the
discussion In regard to the suppression
of vice. While Mrs. Whittemore's talk
was about class more likely To be en-
countered In u Zig city like New York,
many people think that she d Jints out "A
line OF work which might be tr led here.
1t Is sta ell that the address had a very
strong influence with the women of
whom the audie nee was largely COM
posed, aud that what was said TO them at
the private meeting in regard To the hor-
rors OF vice among young women, quite
overcame the good women.
People are now speculatiug as to what
that committee OF 100 will do and how it
will do il.
Perhaps the women will take up the
mission system of work and try that
Secretary Conant OF the Y. NJ &. A. re-
ceives almost every day letters from peo-
pie who see evils which they want sup
pressed. One woman wrote that show
which is going on on Westminster street
was very bad IL one judged only by the
pictures and what couln be heard from
the outside. AS tue City Council commit.
tee on shows Is responsible for these per-
formances that committee Is the only re-
source for any one who wants them
stopped or mod fed.
A man wrote the secretary a letter to-
day stating that IL horrible book was
being circulated among boys and Mr.
Conant will try TO get at the matter.
Mr.. Conant lays a great deal OF stress
upon the police department. in regard TO
the suppression of vice aud appears to
think that that department. has author
ity and could stop it IL an effort was
made. but he also says that efforts must
be made TO get proper influence at work
besides the police action in the matter.
There rs sol differencs of opinion as TO
the propriety OF making known the
names OF the committee of 100 aud in the
meantime IT is being kept in the Rev. DIR.
