Hygiene SO Discloses.

New York. Jan. 7.-Vice of all kinds
in New York has been greatly reduc-
ed the past few years, according to the
annual report today of the bureau of
social hygiene, of which John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., is the head.
Probably at no time in the history
of the city, the report asserts. have the
conditions in saloons shown such i'm
provement as in recent months. The
SO called "vice-ring" which f1ourfshed
several years ago, no longer exists and
the owners of vice resorts either have
gone into hiding or have left the city,
the report adds. Credit for this it is
said, is due to the mayor. the police
and various civic organizations, as
we'll as the district attorney and the
criminal courts.
