HOUSTON Texas, Sept 20.-So
drastic in its term that It may be the
cause of closing many moving picture
theatres Of Houston, the city com
missioners have adopted an ordinance

picture show, but in which all Of the
300 persons in the audience succeed
ed IN leaving the building without a
suggestion of a panic
The new ordinance demands that
exits six feet in width be placed near
the rear of all moving picture houses,
in addition to the exits in the front
of the house also used for entrances.
As some OF the picture theatres In
Houston are so located that rear exits
are impossible II viii mean their

missioners declare IL Is better 10
close them all than 70 invite one fatal
panic.
Another section Of the ordinance
provides that floors Of the theatre
shall be on a level with the street
Steps up from the street are for
hidden because OF the danger in per
sons falling in making their way to
the street during fire.
Picture theatres having vaudeville
features in connection will be com.

such construction. This ordinance
calls for the absolutely freproof

PARK THEATRE

Tomorrow night at the Park theatre, Mme Ester Kaminsky and a most capable company including the emil nent Yiddish .Tragedian, Max Rosen- from the Thalia theatre in New York City, presenting powerful drama en- titled "The Slaughter"
 In s'The Faun'' which William Fav- ersham will present at the Park thea Ire on Friday night. there VIII pc or feYed one of the real novelties or re- cent years. While the title suggests mythology and the play is somewhat fantastic in its treatment, 1t Is as 8 comedy of most sparkling and divert ing type that 1t lays most claim to the attention of the ordinary theatre goer.s
 The question s'What is a faun?'' with it's attendant mental effort to CO., relate the definition with the atrri- butes of q play of that title might give us pause" but how neediessly the play itself proves. Nothing could be more easily understood than MT. Knoblauch's sprightly story, the dis tinguishing features of which are 8 fine optimism, joyousness and gaiety, a wholesomeness-alls brougnt out with fine gift for writing that makes the comedy genuine surprlse: At least. such has been the verdict of other cities. One can easily imagine the humorous developments possible with a theme which involves the sud den introduction of a creature from another world into one in which everything is new and many things supremely wrong to his untrammelled spirit.
 MT. Knoblauch's faun is messen- ger of happiness. one who smoothes out the rough places in the pathways of those he meets and makes for brightness in everything. Few plays have been more thoroughly and legi- timately amusing and withal carried such food for thought.
 MT. Faversham has been credited with one of the comedy achievements of the generation in his creation of this unique stage character. bringing into view once again the gift of com edy which was so happily manifest in his, not-to-be-forgotten portrayal o1

TAYLOR AGAIN
 MISSES PARDON
Despite Former State Attorney DoOlittle's Plea For Mercy,
 He Remains in Prison
SENTENCED BACK IN 1887
Day After Sentence States Attorney made Written Statement Recom-
 mending Mercy in His Case.

The petition of James F. Taylor, who is serving life sentence in States prison, for pardon did not come before the State Board of Par don, Monday If it had been reached before the adjournment without date it is probable that States Attorney A. A. filling. of New Haven, who was present, would have advocated Tay- lor's release from prison.
 Taylor, with Harry B. Chamberlin, entered a plea of guilty in July, 1887, to the murder of Margaret Ernst of Spruce street. New Haven, and they were sentenced to life imprisonment on July IS, 1887. The murder was particularly brutal, the two having sought entrance to the Ernst home for the purpose of robbing the old wo- man of her savings and in order to accomplish the robbery they smoth- cred the woman to death
 There was nothing in the fact of the murder itself to establish a claim for leniency upon the part of one or the other of the participants, it is claim ed. But Hilton B. Doolittle, the late States Attorney of New Haven coun- ty, has left, in the shape of legacy to the States Attorneys office state ment in which he practically recom- mends mercy for Taylor and in fur therance of that official legacy both States Attorney Williams and States Attorney filling have considered it their duty to further this claim of mercy before the Board of Pardons.
 DoolittIe's Statement.
 This is the statement made by States Attorney Doolittle on the day Chamberlfn and Taylor and left with Attorney James P. Pigott, who repre- sented Taylor:
 "I deem it my duty to make statement in reference to the cases of Chamberlin and Taylor. sentenced to States prison for life yesterday by Judge Stoddard for the murder of Haven. Chamberlin is, in my judg- ment, thoroughly bad man, and coolly and deliberately planned the robbery of Mrs. Ernst, as the steno- grapher's notes written out and on file in the States attorneys office will show. Taylor, and all his relations in New York, where he lived since birth, have excellent regulations, as I am informed by the police detectives un- der the immediate supervision of Po- lice Inspector Byrnes and who has testified for the State in Chamberlin's s case
 "He, Taylor, had conducted little business, but was unsuccessful and was attached. Just at the particular period, when he was in great distress and despair, he was approached by Chamberlin, when he was told that there was an old woman in New Ha- ven, who had $30,00O or $40,OO0 by her, and they could easily get it as she lived alone. Upon the impulse of the moment he yielded, as many a youth has. He is only 20 years old. and has not yet arrived at the age of discretion
 .sIn a moral point of view he is much less guilty than Chamberlin, and I think when he is released he will live sober and industrious life for all. of his surroundings are of that character.
