KICK OF STATE TREASURER
Yrurly I'i-oIcnI of the lown Olllelnl
linn IIcimi Nil iircHC(I by (lie
Council.
m:S MOINUS, March 24. (Special Tele
gram.) Today a ncnsatlon wns sprung In
state houso and legislative circles hero In
tho announcement that tho Btato treasurer,
iho walked out of tho Btato executive coun
cil yesterday und refused to vote on tho
railroad assessment becauso ho believed It
lo bo too low, would on Monday or Tuesday
file with tho secretary of tho cxecutlvo
council nnd glvo to tho public a document
explaining his position on tho railroad as
sessment and nnswcrlng boctio charges made
by a local paper, that he forced tho Btato
auditor, who has lately returned from tho
went nnd south after a serious Illness, to
go to tho stato houso at tho peril of his
life, after Mr. Horrlott refused to attend
n council meeting held at ono of tho hotels.
Tho document Is expected to contain much
thnt la sensntlonnl, as for tho past flvo
years Treasurer Ilerrlott has yearly tiled
n protest to what ho termed too low an ns
srdsmont of tho Iowa railroads and each
year tho document ban been suppressed by
tho council and has never oven gotten Into
tho columns of tho newspapers. The ap
pearance of It nt this time, therefore, Is
anticipated with much Interest.
Yesterday tho figures on tho railroad as
pessment were completed by tho council
after tho stato treasurer wont out of tho
meeting. A resolution prepared by tho gov
ernor was substituted for tho Ilerrlott res
olutlon, filed several days ago, proposing to
Increase tho railroad assessment over J4.
000.000, and adopted. Taking out of consid
eration tho now railroads built In Iowa
during tho last year, tho completed figures
fchow a reduction of $100,000 In tho total as
sessment.
In 1803 tho nggrcgato assessed value of
tho railroads of tho stato wbh $44,033,601.
On tho Bamc mllcago the nggregato this
year Is Just about $41,530,000. but the 600
miles of new lines nro assessed at u total
of Jl.r.00,000, so that thero In n net gnln of
$1,-100.000 In-tho assessment, making tho total
$46,130,000.
Tho building nnd loan commlttco bill

these associations nro repealed. Tho bill
was under discussion today and tho friends
of tho building nnd loan assoclatlona mado
n stubborn fight to knock out vital por
tions of tho bill, Including tho clnuao which
forbids tho collection of Interest at a ruto
greater than 8 per cent on any past, pres
ent or futuro contract.
There Is still much gossip over tho Porto
Jilcnn tarllt resolution which parsed tho
Iowa house thla weak. It is believed by
many that tho resolution will illo In tho
hands of the federal relations commlttco.
Senator I.tBter, cnnlrmun of tho committee,
said this morning that ho was In favor of
tho spirit of tho resolution, but thought tho
advisability of tho Iowa legislature mixing
In tho matter was another question; that
hlx commlttco had not met to consider tho
matter, and ho did not know of any meet;
Ing which would bo held In the near future.
In other words, ho would not say that he
Intended to call u meeting to net on tho

of tho members of tho upper body nro In

lieved that some of theso would a llttlo

This statement was ) ide today by F.
Wharton Golden, a frull, consumptive-look
ing Kentucky mountaineer, while on the
witness stand for the preliminary examlna
tlon of Sccretnry of Stato Qaleb Powers,
charged with conspiracy to kill Goebcl.
Golden told n story of the ovents leading
up to tho murder thnt If substantiated will,
In the minds of those connected with tht! I
prosecution at least, go far toward proving 1
tho contention of tho commonwealth that
tho murder was the result of a plan In
which several prominent men wcro In
volved.
Whether tho defense will seek to Impeach
Oolden's testimony In this preliminary ex
amination Is not known, "as tho attorneys
for tho defense will not talk on the sub
ject, but unless such attempt Is mado the
commonwealth will rest Its case, both
County Attorney Polsgrove nnd Attorney
Campbell being satisfied that enough evi
dence has been presented to hold the de
fondnnt on the charges.
Golden, who claims to have been n friend
to Secretary Powers and his brother. John
Powers, for years, gave testimony that was
nartlculurly damnglng to John Powers, who
has disappeared, but he also brought In the
names of many others, Including Charles
Flnley, W. II. Culton and Governor Taylor,
In his Btory of the bringing of tho moun
taineers to Frankfort previous to the as
sassination. Taylor Not linpllenled.
Governor Taylor, however, was not di
rectly Implicated and the attorneys for tho
commonwealth Intimated today that they do
not expect to havo his name brought forth
prominently In tho story of tho alleged con
spiracy.
Golden was not cross-exnmineii today ami
adjournment wns taken nt nn early nour

condition, tho witness having a slight
hemorrhage during tho morning, becoming
so weak under tho strain of tho examination

lowed n respite. Ho was qulto nervous at
times.
Oolden's testimony tended to show that a
plan was made to bring several hundred
"regulur mountain feudists" to Frankfort.
who would, If necessary, ns Golden expressed
It, "go Into tho legislative hall and kill off
enounh democrats to mako It our way.
Tho testimony did not show thnt tho al
leged plot to kill Gocbel was part of the
orlglnnl plan, nor did It contain the names
of thoso who conceived that Idea, nut tho
commonwealth Bought to show by Oolden's
conversations with various pcoplo that not

well, had full knowledge of tho alleged
plan of assassination.
Golden said ho had known Secro
tnry Powers for nbout eighteen years
and knew Mr. Culton. Ho was also
acquainted with Governor Taylor and Cap
tnln John Powers. Ho said he was a friend
to all of tho defendants. Ho was In Frank

"When Mr. Powers and I left hero to
gcthcr. Colonel Powers told mo to go to
Harlan county nnd tell Postmaster John
Hirst to send down ten witnesses In the
contest case, who wcro regular mountain
feudists.
"Did ho understand what you moant by
that, and If so, what was your understand
lng of that request."
Objected to, but overruled.
"I won't answer that," said Golden.
After somo parley Golden said: "Well
men who would stand up and If necessary
go Into that leglslatlvo hall and kill oft
enough to mako It In ur favor."
'I did not seo Mr. Hirst. I saw Hamp
Howard. I told him wo wanted ten regular
mountain feudists for witnesses. Wi
wanted men who had good Colts -15s.'
"Wcro tho Colts 4Gs to bo put In cvl

Most nssuredly they were," answered
Golden,
In reply to a question Goldon 6ald ho did
not know tho wltneescw who camo to Frank

"When did you noxt seo Caleb Powers?
"I saw him on Tuesday, I got on tho

I don't remomber what conversation wo had
thon."
IteKiilnr Army of Moiiiitaliipcrn.
'Who selected tho men who camo from
Uarlnn county?"
"Hamp Howard. Ho selected thirty men
besides tho ten. Caleb Powers, I think, se
lected tho men from Knox county. There
wero nbout seventy or eighty. Jim Sparks,
county attorney In Laurel county, selected
tho men from Laurel county."
"When wns It determined to bring the
men to Frankfort?"
"I don't know."
Witness stated that at London Powers said

most of tbo men wero mountain feudists.
In all about 1,200 or 1,600 men wero brought
to Frankfort. They were fed back of tho
stato house. Captain Davis and Charles Fln
ley provided the provisions. Continuing,
Golden said:
"We sent most of them back that night,
ny 'we' I mean mytwlf, Powers, Davis, Cul
ton nnd Governor Taylor. Flnley, Taylor
and Powers decided to send back all oxcept
ten or fifteen from each of the counties. We
selected twelve armed men to be kept from
Knox county. Deputy Mnrshal George
Thompson selected the men frcm Laurel
county. About 175 men of tho mountalnoeers
brought to town remained here to see that
wo got Justice."
"Did you havo nny further conversation
