When he speaks tonight at the Auditorium, paying tribute to the memory of the late Joel Chanlcr Harris, he will doubtless be greeted by one* of the largest and most representative audiences ever present at a lecture in the Boult. Hundreds of the leading men of the South and many from other sections of the country, united in a com mon love for the memory of the South's greatest humorist, have come to Atlanta today to take part in the movement which has for its purpose the raising of a fund for the purchase of the home of Uncle Remus in West End as a permanent memorial to the author. Colonel Roosevelt and Joel Chanlcr Harris entertained a high regard for each other and many were the appreciative let ters that passed between them. Quiet, retiring and almost bash ful, "Uncle Remus" seemed to find in the strenuous statesman the complement of his own nature, while “Teddy" was always eager to go far out of his way to meet the Oeorgia author. The two men never missed nn opportunity for a meeting, and they always parted rcgrotfuDy. When “Uncle Remus’* passed away he had no more sincere mourner than Colonel Roosevelt, and the I latter, in his address tonight, will speak words of love and admi-, ration that come straight from the heart. Mr Roosevelt received the invitation to address the “Uncle Remus'* memorial day meeting before his return from his trip abroad, and immediately cabled his acceptance. : Í TOTTERS 10 IIS FALL Novel Plan Carried Out by Vol unteer Enumera- Parii, Oct. 8.—Dispatches from Madrid quote Dr. Esquedo, republican leader, in confirmataion of the statement that a def tors inite plan existed for simultaneous revolutionary movements in both Spain and Portugal.
