TO ENACT THEATER ORDINANCES
Will Be Main Business of Chicago
Council Tonight

CHICAGO. January 4.-Buitding laws, es~
pecially where they apply to theaters, will
be the all-absorbing subject OF discussion
and legislation in the city council tonight.
One Of the first ordinances to come Up will
be one prepared by the mayor calling for
the appointment of committee OF building
experts from the council together with
architects and builders to inspect all thea
ters and draw up plans for the protection
of theatergoers from fire. This ordinance
will be passed with an amendment that
several laymen be added to the committee
in order that opinions outside of those adj
vanced by architects and contractors may
be embodied in the report which the COM
mittee will make. The purpose Is to particu-
larly emphasize what ought TO be done
from a theatergoer's point Of view.
The present ordinance puts a penalty on
patron who sits or stands In the aisle.
but an ordinance will be passed providing
for a penalty to be inflicted on the owner
of a theater for the violation

theaters, but of chuches. stores. Office build

given chance to revise the laws and strike
out provisions which are held TO be unjust
to property owners and not essential to

having decided not to act. then the laws are
to be enforced.
AS the ordinances stand at present strict
enforcement it Is stated, would paralyze
the business, professional and Industrial
interests of the city. For that reason Mr..
Harrison will give the council the oppor-
tunity of acting.
The immediate effect of the mayor decia-
ration will be revision of the laws That

If it were enforced now. would close nearly

city. is in the hands of the city council ju-
dietary committee, has been partly amend

This amendment will Ike IL unnecessary
for fireproof buildings to have incosed els-
vator shafts. which are considered as offer
ing no greater safety and as imposing un-
necessary hardships on the elevator opera
tors and the passengers
Then the council may find 1t advisable to:
repeal the ordinances providing for fire
escapes on private residences of four or
more stories in height.

tors smashed and opened after tire fire.
The Fuller Construction Company were the
builders of the Iroquois Theater.
How the Fire Originated.
Inspector Fulkerson said: II have deter
mined that the fire originated from the
contact of a linen curtain with an intensely
hot and inadequately protected food light.
I have determined that the curtain stuck
because a piece of stage mechanism in .
normal operation was directly in the path
OF the descent of the fire shield. ] know
that the fire was driven under the suspend
ed curtain by the rush of cod air into the
stage when some one opened the rear doors.
Il have evidence thai the automatic sky
lights over the stage did not open as they
should have done and create n fiue through
which the flame, smoke and heated air On
the burning stage could have found Il vent.
1t is apparent that the exits were not ade-
quate. The next step is fixing the respon-
sibihty.'

Post under date of New York, September
/, runs as follows:
B. G. Duque, editor and proprietor of the
Panama Star and Herald, a resident of the
isthmus during the past twenty-seven years,
who arrived today in New York, declared
that II the canal treaty fell through revo-
luton would be likely to follow.
There is a very strong feeling in Pana-
ma said Mr.. Duque, THAT Colombia, in
negotiating the sale of a canal concession in
Panama. is looking for profits that might
just as well go to Panama herself.
1.-The Colombian government, only the
other day, suppressed a newspaper that
dared to speak of independence for Panama
A while ago there was a secret plan afoot
to cut loose from Colombia and seek the
protection of the United States.'
In the New York Herald of September 10
the following statement appeared:
Representatives of strong interests on the
Isthmus of Panama who make their head
quarters in this city are considering plan
of action to be undertaken in cooperation
with men of similar views In Panama and
Colon to bring about a revolution and form
an independent government in Panama op-
posed to that In Bogota.
There Is much indignation on the Isthmus
on account of the failure of the canal
treaty. which Is ascribed to the authorities
at Bogota. This opinion is believed to be
shared by majority of the Isthmans of all
shades of political belief. and they think 1t
Is to their best interest for a new republic
to be formed on the Isthmus. which may
negotiate directly with the Unite.. States q
new treaty which will permit the digging of
the Panama canal under favorable condi-
tions.
In the New York Times. under date of
September 13. there appeared from Bogota
the following statement:
