A New Disease Called "Autoiag"

Chicago, May 6-Automobiles are
responsible for a new disease. Medi-
cal men have diagnosed it and it is
pronounced "autojag". 1t is compar-
ed to the craze for liquor and, like
the drunkard who reaches a certain
point and cannot restrain his appetite,
so the chauffeur when he attains a
certain speed finds his brain bent only
upon going faster and faster without
regard to consequences.
The disease was discovered in Paris
and has it's uses, for it explains the
wild eyes and the excited brain of the
modern chauffeur and reveals the Sc
cret of the fiendish glee with which
he pursues and runs down the hapless
man or woman who stumbles in his
path.
But those afflicted with an autojag
are not all residents of Paris. They
may be found in Chicago according to
the observations of several physicians
who are attending the meetings of the
Illinois Medical society.
1.-The new disease may be compared
to drunkenness" said DR.. H. G. Camp
bell, a specialist of Jacksonville, Ill,
THE speed with which the machines
are semi over the roads creates a men
tai disturbance. The excitement is
intense, sometimes like that of q
drunken man. Everybody realizes
that after a certain stage has been
passed an appetite craves for more
liquor. So it is with the automobile
The brain is centered upon acquiring
a higher speed all of the time. The
brain cannot be satisfied. It's craving
Is even worse than liquor.
1.-THE action of the brain is no
healthy. There must be one CRANE
finale. That comes when the chauf
feur runs over somebody. For a mo
ment the brain Is sobered. 1t ha'
been satisfied and there is no more
trouble until the next spell of intoxica
ton comes on"

IOWA PRISON o

With That Object in View.
(Sioux City dispatch to Des Moines
Register.)-A movement which con-
templates the conversion of the Ana
mosa penitentiary into a state re-
formatory for short sentence crimi-
nails and making Fort Medison peni-
Tertiary a state prison for the harden
ed class of criminals is about to be
inaugurated by the Iowa County At
torneys' association.
U. G. Whitney, county attorney of
Woodbury. county, is a member of a
special committee Of this association,
which is to make a report at the ON
ing annual meeting of the association,
to be held probably in June in Des
Moines, with reference to a new law
concerning pardons, paroles and re-
missions of fines and penalties. Mr..
Whitney is in favor of the classical
ton of the men who are convicted of
crimes in a way that will keep the
person who is not a criminal at heart
from coming in contact with the nat
ural, hardened criminal, who has
neither instinct mol ambition to do
right.
The special committee mentioned
was appointed at the meeting of the
association held last year. 1t was
named at the suggestion of Governor
Cummins, who came before the coun-
ty attorneys especially to ask that
they take some action to secure the
enactment Of a law which would pro-
vide a better system of pardons,
paroles and fine remissions for the
state than that in vogue under the
present laws. The county attorneys
appointed w. H. Killpack, Of Council
Bluffs; w. l.. Smith, of Onawa, and
Mr.. Whitney to take the matter in
hand, and after thorough investiga-
ton to submit recommendations to
the 1903 meeting Of the association.
Mr.. Whitney has been gathering
data from various criminal institu-
tions in the country and procuring
copies of the pardon and parole laws
of other states. He has just written
a letter to the governor of Indiana for
a copy of the parole law of that state,
it being understood that Indiana main
tains two separate prisons for it's
criminals. The Michigf-l City prison
is maintained for the lo.Ig term men,
usually hardened criminals, as we'll as
those sentenced to be hung, while the
Jeffersonville prison, formerly a peni-
Tertiary for men Of all classes, is
now maintained as a reformatory on
ly. To the latter prison the men con-
victed for short terms and for the
first time are sent. If their conduct
justifies they are paroled in a little
while, with the ~unexpired terms sus-
pended over them.
The committee of the county attor.
neys' association will probably have a
meeting some time in the neal future.
