VICE HUNTING QUIET
UNDER NEW REGIME
John S. Sumner, COmstOck's
Successor, Against Brass
Band Methods.
PLAN INTERCITY WORK

In case a younger sister OF the Sep
TENDER Morn maiden ever should come
up for air in the future with nothing
around her but the polished plate glass
OF an art dealers window on the ave-
nue. there is every indication now that
II steps are taken at all to suppress her
there will he none Of the spectacular
publicity OF the past.
One gathered this after a few words
yesterday with the newly appointed sue
cessor Of the late Anthony Comstock as
secretary of the New York Society for
the Suppression OF Vice, John s. Sum-
ner, the probability Of the appointment
of whom. together with n brief sketch
OF his life. was printed in THE sun
yesterday.
Mr.. sumner, a young lawyer and son
Of an American Rear Admiral, had only
words of praise yesterday for Mr.. Com
stocks long service. during more than
two years of which Mr.. Sumner worked
as associate secretary. Mr.. Sumner
would not even make a comparison of
the methods he intends to pursue in
fighting indecency with the blum way
Mr.. Comstock had OF doing things /:
nevertheless one could see that there
will he a difference.
THE only difference will be the result
Of IA difference of personalities smiled
the quiet spoken young lawyer. You
must also remember that times and con-
ditions have changed. When the So
ciety for the Suppression of Vice. fol-
lowing its incorporation more than forty
years ago. began It's work II encountered
open opposition which needed a blum
personality to wade in and fight hard
for success.
1.-THE primary need for a man OF
physical strength and courage Is not so
marked In these days. Where once the
indecencies which the society fights to
keep down were brazenly open to-day
the offenders work In comparative
secrecy. To combat them now is largely
a question of n little detective work.
How would you act In IA specific
case like. say. the September Morn
affair? Mr.. Summer was asked with
a hope that a comparison OF the old
methods with the new might be OBJ
tanned.
Well answered Mr.. Sumner after
some hesitation, ~ can answer hat best

@25 A WEEK AL1MONY

Judicial ideas as to how intoxicated

Of cruelty to a nervous wife. were ex-
pressed in a decision handed down yes
terday by Supreme Court Justice Blanch-
ard in the separation suit brought
against Assistant District Attorney Rob

B. Mccormick. The court heard the
case last June and has been trying to
reach a conclusion from the voluininous
evidence ever since. Justice Blanchard
gives Mrs. Mccormick a decree and con-
tinues the alinony Of s25 a week she
has been receiving pending the decision.
The couple were married In 1912. Mrs.

Justice Blanchard refers in his opin-

Both are persons of mature years.
From The testimony 1t seems established
that the defendant Is Il man who at

liquor. and that excepting possibly the
instances OF physical violence runner
ated he has been guilty toward his
wife Of the conduct of which she com
plains.
"While II is perhaps true that mere
