This experimenting went on at

One feature about Mr.. brakes
preparation is that it is different than
anything placed on the market here

medical preparation.

MEDICAL CRIME CURE.
JUSTICE OLSON'S IDEA
Tells Doctors Problem Is Up to- Them
Since Lawyers Have Failed in So

Since Lawyers Have Failed in So
luton.
Chicago. go.-Reformation of the fu-
ture criminal is to be achieved pain
lessly by a physician and not by a
prison sentence if the ideas of Harry
Olson, chief justice of the municipal
court, become effective.
Doctors and surgeons may dominate
the coming criminal court and judges
will act only after the former have
expressed their opinions. Psycholo-
gists and neurologists will keep tab
upon the offender and his mental and
physical measurements will be card
indexed as his Bertillion measure
ments are today.
Then. and not until then, according
to the chief justice, will it be possible
to decrease crime-to prevent the
constant bobbing up of "men with
missions like the one who shot Col
onel Roosevelt, and to stop the con-
stant temperance of mental and
moral detectives in the courts.
Wants Committee Named.
Judge. Olson voiced his opinions in
ar address before the Chicago Medi-
cal Society, and he urged the medical
men to appoint a committee for in
fluencing the city council to establish
court or bureau for carrying out
this plan.
Every man and woman whose home
is wrecked by marital infelicity, every
boy who goes astray, every thief and
even every murderer will go before a
phycho- physical expert and have his
mental and physical condition dag
nosed, according to this plan.
Then, If medical treatment can cure
the offender. he or she will not be
given an immediate divorce, he or she
will not have to "do sixty days at
the brirewell or from zone to four
teen years at Joliet.
when taxpayers begin to realize
what percentage of their money goes
to pay the cost of crime he VIII be
ready to accept plan for scientific
research along this line" said Justice
Olson. "Only one state has ever kept
track of this cost Massachusetts
statistics show that 10 per cent of the
tax money is used in the states pros
ecution and care of criminals. In
! Illinois the percentage is fully 10 per
| cent.
Must Get at Causes.
| Lawyers have worked for years
to solve this crime problem. Now II
| is up to the medical profession. Un-
| til we get at the causes we cannon
effect cure, The medical profession
already has told us of the relations
of some diseases to some crimes
They must make 1t a study and tel
us more.
Justice Olsen cited statistics ol
Sweden to show what could be ach'
ieved in getting at criminal causes by
