He Imposes $50 Fine or Five Days; Nolan Makes It $25 or One Day. Magiatraten Krotel and Nolan disposed of the cases of 37 violatorn of the auto- mobile traffic regulations to-day. The offenders were spotted yesterday in Fifth avenue, Broadway, Central Park West and Riverside Drive and served with summonses by traffic policemen.

Every speeder with two exceptions was fined #0 or sent to Jail for five days. Fifty accused of driving smoking care or not having thelr lamps lighted were fined from @ to $10. The fines collected ran close to 96,00. Of the thirty-five sent to West 8 Court prison all had patd up and secured their release late this afternoon In Yorkville Court Magistrate Nolan delivered judgment in forty-eight cas charging violation of the speed lawa an twenty-three charging minor violations, He was more lenient than Magistrate Krotel and imposed a $3 fine with the alternative of one day in Jail. THEODORE PELL NDS HOURS IN JAIL. In consequence the bulk of the of- fendera in Yorkville Court elected to go to prison, They knew they would be released at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Among those who spent five hours in than pay @ 9% fine was Pell, the millionaire real estate man and a member of the @0- clety Pell family. He was caught meeting in Fifth avenue yesterday afternoon. Magistrate Krotel threatened on Sat- urday to make his tines for speedera tn the future $100 or ten days tn Jail.
