COrrallcd on sunday, They Are
Forced TO Attend Services.
Muskogee, Okla.-Chief of Police
Joe" Depew has found a new and
effective way of Furnishing gamblers
and the frequenters of gambling
houses. He forces them to go to
church.
The first time this was tried the
offenders did not know what to
make of it. A patrol wagon rushed
out and got full load. which was
backed up to the First Christian
church. Officers marched the men
into church and ordered them to take
seats and remain quiet and orderly
during the service. Then another
load was hauled, followed by others
until all the gamblers to be found in
that town were in church.
The congregation politely paid no
embarrassing attention to the unex-
pected members of the audience and
as soon as the benediction had been
pronounced at a signal given to the
gamblers indicating the punishment
was over, they quietly filed out OF
church.
Police Judge Edward Williams pro-
poses to cooperate with Chief Depew
and substitute ten Sundays in church
for ten days on the rock pile.
