Jake Wells announced this afternoon
in Atlanta that he had leased the
Grand opera house in Atlanta and its
twin, the Macon Grand, for eight years,
the remainder of the ten-year lease
taken by the Shuberts from the De-
Gives two years ago. He will not an
nounce at this time what class of the
atricals will be presented in the Grand.
but virtually it is practically assured
that the Keith vaudeville now given in
the Forsyth will be transferred to the
larger house.
The change marks the passing of the
Shuberts from the Southern field of
high class productions. Their battle
with Klaw & Erlanger, which prom
ised such success at first, has been lost.
and after two disastrous seasons they
have given nm their Southern holdings,

All Ready To

Colonel Roosevelt today takes per
sonal command of his fight At 4
o'clock he will arrive in Chicago. A
noisy reception by the hosts already
gathered to take part in the demonstra-
ton and another smashed precedent
will greet him as he steps from the
train. For the first time in the history
of the Republican party an avowed
candidate for the Office OF president
himself an ex-president. will appear
personally on the scene Of a conven-
ton before which he seeks the office.
The noise that is to greet the colonel
has already been started. Cheering del
egates and cheering persons who are
not delegates have been marching
through hotels obbes shouting, sing
ing, arguing and making speeches.
Their demonstration has accumulated
the bitterness and excitement that per-
wade the presidential fight. Personal
encounters, quickly suppressed by men
who separated the warning partisans,
broke out half dozen times in the
hotel Hobbies, where the demonstration
started, Roosevelt songs were inter

Everybody Going
To Meet the Train.

For once Chicago is put in the same
category with her country cousins
From indications this morning, every
person in the city interested in politics
win try to go down to see the train
come in The coming Of the train is TO
them the one important event Of the
day. Whether the arrival Of the Rough
Rider means stampede" is the one
question that is agitating the leaders OF
both camps. Taft men confidently as
serted today IT meant nothing OF the
sort. But the men who make this state
ment, most of them, were present four
years ago when the galleries al the
Republican national convention broke
into the long Roosevelt demonstration
that could not be quoted One Taft
man asserted that the actual coming Of
the colonel would be an anti-climax
The threat Of his coming, he said,
had more effect than the actual arrival.
He asserted It would help the Taft
cause to have the colonel on the
ground.
The Roosevelt men are willing TO al
low them to look at it in that way.
They are jublant at the colonies COM
ing From the moment he arrives until
the convention is over they believe the
colonel will be the center Of the fight,
and they rely on his own statement that
he is better fighter than prophet.
