WOODRUFF'S
PLEA AS FILED
Showing Why He Should Not
be Called Upon to
Pay Note.
CAUSED ft BIG SENSATION.
The Case Has Aroused Interest All
Over the State in Secret
Order Circles.
The action taken by the Odd Fellows at
the meeting held in Atlanta this week tn
,which they expelled Mr. D. B. Woodrutf
-from the grand lodge of Odd Fellows, bar
created a big sensation, not only in the
.ranks of the Odd Fellows all over the
mate, but among the secret orders gener
ally. IMr. Woodruff is one of the most
prominent men in secret orders in thrt
• tale, and the action of the grand lodge of
Odd Fellows is discussed everywhere.
The ca c is not a new one in the order,
as it is really over two years old, but this
is the fir t time that anything in th's con
nection has been made .public.
IMr. Woodruff's pl< a, filed by his attor
ney. Mr 'Marion Harris some time ago will
0»e of interest. It is as folol'ws:
And now for further plea in this behalf
this defendant says:
1. That he is not indebted to the plain
tiff in the manner and form as alleged and
in the amount stud for and is not indebted
to the plaintiff in any manner whatever.
2. That he did sign and execute two
|tiotes at the time stated and forth ■
amount fated and executed the same
as they are substantially sot forth
in the copies annexed to the petition; but
the defendant says that the said two notes
were absolutely without any consideration
binding in law upon this defendant, and
that if there over was any consideration
for the two notes that the same has utter
ly failed. Defendant says that shortly
(prior to the making of the said two notes
sued upon the plaintiff hold one certain
note of defendant’s for the aggregate
amount erf the two notes now sued upon;
that the said first note was given to the
(plaintiff to pay a subscription to the Or
phan’s Home which.the grand lodge of Odd
■Fellows of Georgia at time proposed to
build i-a charitable institution to be run
and operated tinder the direction of the
lodge; that the consideration of this orig
inal not was mutual promises, subscrip
tions and notes of many other Odd Fellows
in Georgia, given to the said plaintiff at or
about the same time that the said original
(note of the defendant was given, for the
purpose of building said Orphan’s Home;
that the considerations of said defendant’s
■original note were the promises, subscrip
tions and notes of said other Georgia Odd
Fellows; that shortly before the defendant
gave the two notes sued upon the Grant
Lodge of Odd Fidows of Georgia decided
not to build said Orphans’ iHome, and all
of the promises, subscriptions and notes
given by the Georgia Odd Felows for said
purpose were annullel and all rtf the notes
were returned to the makers thereof, ex-
Icept this defaudant’s note was not so re
turned. Defendant says that the two notes
sued upon represent the said promises to
.pay that amount of money by defendant
towards the construction of said Orphans’
Home, which notes were given in renewal
of the said original note and this was a
mere novation, without the slightest con
sideration moving thereto, Defendant
therefore says that the consideration of the
said two notes has utterly failed and that
inasmuch as the grand lodge of Georgia,
.’which is represented in this Suit by said
plaintiff, has cancelled and returned to all
the other Georgia Odd Fellows, who subs
scribed at the same time as defendant,
their said notes and obligations, then these
two notes which were given for the said
purpoie as stated, .are absolutely null and
void. And of this the defendant puts him
self on the country. Marion Harris,
Attorney for the Defendant.

FIST FIGHTS AT TAMPA
How the Overheated Soldiers Work Off Their
Nervous Strength.
Tampa, Fla., May 2S. —The hot weather
and the delayed movement to the front has
become irksome 'to the regulars and they
quarrel regularly. Nearly every day you
see pairs go out from camp to a secluded
spot and fight out disputes to the finish
with fists. After the battle they walk
back to camp the best of friends.
The Florida militia tried hard to stam
pede the 4,000 mules of the regulars. We
treated them coldly as a result till after
the enlistment examinations were over.
Then so many were rejected that we felt
sorry for thhm. The rejected sat about
with tears in their eyes. They loved the
old flag but could not fight for it.
Since my story of the attempt of Spanish
i Spanish spies to poison the water was pub-
I I'ished a guard of eight men has 'been put
at the reservoir.
Cavalry troopers got into trouble in
Tampa, and as a result a regular patrol is
maintained there. The discipline is severe.

The music by the Wesleyan Orchestra
under the direction of Professor Gutten
berger was remarkably fine and enjoyed
by everyone. All the young ladies did
splendidly in the parts assigned to them,
and Miss dare Dowman, of Oxford, was
especially complimented for the ease and
brightness with which she acted in “A
Bit of Gossip;” the other young ladies who
delighted the audience with their clever
and natural acting in this little play were
Miss Isolene Wimberly, Miss Lucy Evans,
Miss Jessie Phillips, Miss Eloise Pickett
and Miss 'Pearl McCrae. Many bright
hits were made. Another enjoyable fea
ture of the program was the joint recita
tion of Antony to the Romans and Ham
let’s Soliloquy by Miss Clare Johnson and
Miss Lizzie May 'Wooten, with amusing
interpretations. Schubert’s “La Serenata”
was charmingly sung by 'Miss Bond and
Miss Wardlaw. The other musical num
bers came in for a well deserved share in
the admiration of the audience and the
Kindersinfonie led by Miss Isolene Whti-
Yittly was a most amusing burlesque.
The Commencement sermon will be
preached tomorrow morning at Mulberry
Street Methodist church by Gen. Clement
A. Evans, of Atlanta. Miss Loudon has
prepared the music for the occasion, and
besides the chorus there will be a vocal
solo by Miss Ketner, teacher of music in
die public schools. Tire organ will be
played by Miss Attie Moore. The congre
gation will enjoy this fine musical uro
gram. but will regret that Mrs. Clifford
Williams’ sweet voice will not be heard.
Mrs. Williams was invited to sing but has
declined.
The Wesleyan College (Missionary So
ciety will hold its anniversary exercises
tomorrow night in the college chapel.
They will be addressed by Bishop .Morri*
son. Miss Lucy Evans, daughter of Gen.
Evans, is president of the Missionary So
ciety.
The exercises of the Junior class will
• take place Monday morning in the chapel.
Miss Chapman has charge of this pro

prepared, “College Life for Women,” Miss
Lula Stephens, Macon. “Tennyson on So
cial Reform.” Miss Kate Martin, Valdosta.
“The Coming Ruler,” Miss Mamie Ballin
ger. Rockmart. “Literary Possibilities of
the South,” Miss Ola May Harrison, Ma
con.
The Art Reception takes place in the
college drawing rooms Monday afternoon
at 4 o’clock, and the paintings and draw
ings to be exhibited are. an artistic treat.
The work done by Miss Mason’s pupils is
invariably fine.
* • •
The board of trustees are holding pro
longed sessions. The financial condition
of the college is not all that could be
wished, and the finance committee has im
portant work to do. Hereafter an effort
•will be made to reduce living expenses by
advertising for bids for furnishing coal,
the heavy groceries, etc. It is hoped that
these bids will be confined to Macon deal
ers, as it would inevitably be poor policy
for Wesleyan College not to patronize
home industries.
What is Going
On in Society.
It is gratifying news that all the fever
patients are doing as well as possible, and
that Miss Julia Huguenin. who has been
so desperatily ill. is slightly better. Miss
Mamey Hatcher is also a trifle better, and
Miss Mary Cobb’s attack while serious is
not alarming.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller Gordon and chil
dren left today for their home in Houston
county, where they will reside in future.
Mrs. Cordon will be greatly missed in
society where she was one of the most
admired and best liked women and her
friends here hope she will often visit Ma
eon. Her beauty and charm and generous,
sympathetic nature have made for her a
host of loyal friends who wijl always wel
come her with pleasure.
Miss Georgia Munroe entertained a
number of friends delightfully last even

months ago was justly considered the most
beautiful and must admired young woman
in her native town, 'Montezuma. She

throughout her illness. 'Miss Smith was
just twenty-one years of age at the time

OF MAJ. WARREN.
Former Citizen of Macon Dies
in Atlanta—Will be
Buried Here.
Major J. Frank Warren, a former citi
zen of iMacon, died in Atlanta shortly af
ter 6 o’clock yesterday evening, and will
•be buried in Macon tomorrow morning at
11:30 o’clock, immediately after the arri
val of the Atlanta train.
The interment wil be made in Rose Hill.
Today’s Atlanta Constitution gives the
following account of .Major Warren’s
death:
Major Warren left his home on Alex
ander; Street yesterday afternoon shortly
after dinner and came to the business por
tion of the city, intending to do some shop
ping. At 6 o’clock he entered the store at
73 Whitehall street, and receiving the
package he had ordered and was waiting
for his change when the clerk saw him
reel and fall over on his side. A number
of people in the store ran to him to ascer
tain the trouble, and it was soon discover
ed that he was dead. Death came instant
ly and aparently without pain.
Major Warren leaves a wife, a daughter
in-laiw and a grandchild, his only son, S.
Frank Warren, Jr., having died some time
ago. Until recent years he had been en
gaged in the hotel business and in that ca
pacity was known throughout the state. At
the time of his death he was city weigher
of Atlanta. At one time he was head clerk
in the Kimball and also the Markham,
and enjoyed the esteem and high respect of
all the comercial men who came to Atlan
ta.
Major Warren was sixty-five years of
age. He went to-Atlanta from Columbus,
Ga.. where he- had his first experience in
the hotel business. At the outbreak of the
war he volunteered in one of the Georgia
regiments and entered the Confederate ser
vice with the first troops from this state.
His record was a good one throughout
the struggle and he rose from the ranks
rapidly. Toward the end of the wa r he
was made a major and in that capacity he
continued until the surrender of General
Lee at Apomattox. When the ■war closed
he went o Macon. Ga., where he received
the position of head clerk in the Lanier
Hotel.
It was while living in Macon that Ma
jor Warren became intimately acqiialntel
with Jefferson Davis and made an attempt
to release him from the hands of General
Wilson, of the United States army. Upon
the capture o's Mr. Davis he was brought
to Macon ‘under the custody of General
Wilson arid a large body of federal tro v-s.
Mrs. Davis and IMiss Winnie Davis also
came with him and on that account the
president of the confederacy was allowed
to occupy rooms in the Lanier House,
where Major Waren was employed. He
■was guarded closely, however, by the fed
eral troops and no one was allowed to en
ter his apartments without first being
searched.
'Major Warren was a frequent caller and
he was trusted by the federal soldiers to
such an extent that practically .10 search
was made of him when he came to see Mr.
Davis.
Together with a large number of the
friends of Mr. Davis living in Macon Majcr
Warren thought of a plan to bring about)
it he prisoner’s release from the hand's of
this enemies. With a large body of meu
I’tpnder the windows of the Davis apart
ments lat" at night ready to receive Mi.
Davis and mounted for immediate flight:,
IMaior Warren agreed to ente- the room in
which th? prisoner was confined wi'h a
rope wrapped around his body beneath bis
clothes, and having tied it to the sill of
the window, lower 'Mr. Davis into the arms
of his rescuers below.
•At the apointed time Mr. Warren gained
access to the room without being detected,
but upon acquainting Mr. Davis with the
well devised plan by which he could gain
his freedom, the latter would not lisen to
it for a moment. He stated that he had
partly given his patrol to General Wilson
and would not break it even to save his
life. Appeals to him fell on deaf ears and
finally the plan was abandoned.
lHe, however, expressed his lasting grat
itude to (Major Warren for his love and le
votion and the manner in which he hal
risked his life to save him from prison.
tThe act of devotion on the part of (Major
Warren gained for him the love of M-.
Davis in after years and for some time af
ter the incident the two corresponded reg
ularly.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
How the Wildcat Loan Companies Rob the
Negroes.
Editor Evening News: I am glad that
you have caled attention to the practices
of these money lenders. Perhaps yoti
would like to know exactly what they
charge. Here are their rates:
$1 for thirty days 40 cents.
$2 for thirty days 80 cents.
$3 for thirty days $1.15.
$4 for thirty days $145.
$5 for thirty days SI.BO.
If you borrow $5 from them it will keep
you hustling to pay the interest, an.l the
chances are they will get your furniture
in the end.
Macon has got four of these loan offices.
One in 'South Macon, one on Middle street
and two in the city. They have pulled
since last year twenty or twenty-five loads
of furniture and household goods from the
homes of unfortunate colored people.
•Now tonight some of the poor colored
people will go to the loan company and
pay them every cent they have and won’t
have anything to eat Sunday. They won’:
lend white men any money, for they say a
white man has got too much sense for
them. So you can see from this that the
loan is a fake and no good for the city
and thelisence ought to be raised from S3OO
to SBOO a year for they made fiffity times
i that much.
The city would do better if the grand
I jury will drive these money sharks off the
■ face of the earth.
