Rather than. yay a fine of 500 for
violating the saloon closing ordinance,
Adolph Roeland, who conducts a thirst
emporium at 256 Third avenue, this
morning in Justice Entrikin's court
chose to serve 200 days in the city
Jail. Roseland was arrested at 1925
last night by Officer Grell, who de-
clares that the saloon was open after
hours. When fined the defendant re-
fused to pay, whereupon the judge
said: IF you do not pay up you will
have to go to Jail for 200 days" Under
ordinary circumstances the saloonman
would have been obliged to spend 20
days in the jug" but on account of
his refusal to be fair, $50 days were
added.

them out of the place.
As soon as they left the club he
