DEFENDS FIGHT FOR
VICE ERADICATION

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-In defense OF
the Bureau Of Social Hygiene, which is
engaged in studying the social evil
with a view to its eradication, John ID.
Rockefeller Jr.. founder of the hu-
reau, has issued for publication a
lengthy statement reviewing the life Of
the bureau and declaring that it can
not be too strongly emphasized that
the spirit which dominates the bureau
is not sensational or sentimental or
hysterical; that II is not a spirit Of
criticism of public officials, but that it
is essentially q spirit Of constructive
suggestion and Of deep scientific. as
well as humane. interest in great
work"
Mr.. Rockefeller stated that ne hoped
that the studies of the bureau would be
completed by December. 1913. and that
he would then turn his attention to
the formation Of definite plan for
dealing with the social evil in New
York. Later it is the intention of the
bureau TO supplement its present in
vestigation with others covering many
cities in the United States, the object
being to become familiar with all
phases of the subject and with all
methods Of handling It which have been
tried in this country and in Europe

Numerous plans were discussed over

for the police commission to give what
ever authority Chief Beavers has over
boarding houses to Assistant Chief Jet.
1t was also suggested that the hsht
be carried to the floor Of council in an
effort to have a resolution adopted ad-
