Fl. Sill Officer Declares That Men viii
Not Be Permitted 10 Come Here
It'll Town Cleaned Up"
OFFICIALS HERE NOT
PREVIOUSLY ADVISED
Mayor and Sheriff Declare They Had No
Word From Post as TO Steps Con-
tempIaIed by Officers

AN order has been posted here
prohibiting ricers or enlisted mer
of this post from visiting Chickashi
and the order will be in effect unit
the town is cleaned up"
This was the statement made this
morning to The Express over the
phone by an officer in the lffice OF
The post commander at Fort Sill, in
answer to question regarding the
reason for the absence of soldiers
here during the latter part of last
week and especially Saturday and
Sunday.
When asked the reason for the or
der, the officer summed the situation
up in one word.
Women" he said Continuing he
explained, Our boys have been 60
ing to Chickasha and they have come
back t. the post infected. 1t is a
condition that we cannot tolerate and
Athe only thing for us to do is to
Keep our men away. We have COM
municated with officials Chickasha,
but SO far we have been unable to
get any relief from the conditions
there"
He stated that military police
would be stationed in Chickasha to
enforce the order When asked if
the post would be disposed to render
assistance to the local authorities in
complying with the ultimatum to
clean up the town." the officer de-
ciared: about the only way we can
assist in this matter is to keep our
men away from Chickasha When
the town is cleaned up, the order
will be lifted"
When seen this morning Mayor o.
Coffman stated that he had heard
of the order through reports, but
had never received an official com
munication from Fort Sill officials
with reference to conditions here,
or an order to clean the town up if
soldiers were permieted to come
here.
Il consider that Chickasha is the
cleanest town in the state" said
Mayor Coffman. I'VE are doing all
we can to keep the town free from
undesirable women 1t is impossible
for us to go into homes and compel
girls who are eating At their mothers
tables to leave town. AS far as
professional women of this character
are concerned, we run them out of
town the moment they are found. We
have caused one or two married wo-
!. men to leave town.
There have been two or three oc-
casions where military police have
reported suspicious looking charac-
ters to us. However, on these oc-
casions, instead of reporting immed-
ately after they saw these women.
the military police returned to us
post and then mailed us a report.
In this way the report reached us 4
week or two after the military police |
was supposed to have seen the wo-
man. l told one of the military po-
lice yesterday to report to me at
once when they saw anyone whom
they thought suspicious"
Hodge Bailey, sheriff of Grady
county stated this morning that he
had not received any official com
munication from Fort Sill with ref
erence to conditions in Chickasha.
He said that he had not been ad-
vised officially that soldiers would
not be permitted to come to Chick
asha under the order issued at Fort
Sill.
