FOR VIOLATING ORDINANCE
HERMAN PETERS ACTS VOLUN
TARILY AFTER BEING
FINED $50.

For the first time since the regula-
tive liquor ordinance was adopted
four years ago. a saloon has closed
its doors for period of thirty days
in conformance with the penalty pro-
vided by the ordinance for violation.
Herman Peters. proprietor of the Co
lumbia bar. and who paid $50 fine
yesterday for selling liquor to a mi
nor. this morning locked the doors
OF his place OF business and will keep
them closed for a month.
Peters took the action voluntarily.
When he pleaded guilty and was fin
ed, nothing was said about closing
his business Chief Kearney stated
this morning that he had not issued
any orders for closing and that he
had received no instructions to give
orders. However, the saloon proprie-
tor made no effort to avoid the plain
penalty provided by the law despite

the fact that he felt that he, person
ally, was not at fault. He stated that
his bartender sold the liquor in open
violation of his instructions but was
under the impression that the beer
was for the boys father inasmuch as
the father had previously requested
the bartender TO allow the boy to get
him beer for his noon lunch
BY the terms of the ordinance. Mr..
Peters is not even permitted to en-
ter his place of business during the
80 days unless accompanied by an
