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 parried the sonnto this afternoon by, unani mous vote It was slightly amended from tho nrlglnnl bill, but n It pussed Is entirely satisfactory to tho committee. It provides moro utrlngent regulations for th building and loan business of tho etnto than ever li-lorc. and all former laws governing these associations nro repealed.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 resolution. It Is known that the majority of tho members of tho upper body nro In sympathy with tho resolution, but It Is be lieved that some of theso would a llttlo rather not bo put on record, In the face of future political campaigns Just now. Throe localizing acts were pawed by the house. They lsgnllro tho Incorporations of West Mitchell and Mclntyre of Mitchell county and Ocheycdan In Osceola county. Tho bill was paMcd surrendering ground In Iloono for tho erection of a postomce. Kendall called up tho sutatltuto for tho senate bill by Porter, which puased with out oppcsltton, Tho house passed tbo bill by Senator Trowln for tho establishment of libraries for teachers, pupils and other residents of rural districts end also tho senate bill by Nolan, providing that tho water works fund of cltlca may be loaned at insieuu or i per cent Interest. A bill was Introduced In both houses to provldo that a 1V6 Instead of u 1 mill tax may bo levied for tho support of tho poor by counties when tho regular fund Is not Htimclcnt. Head Introduced a bill In tho houso which provides that federal ofllceholders may be members of tho Uonrd of Control. ino law now roads that members of the Hoard of Control shall not bo eligible for other olllceo. This Is to let out Hon. John Cownlo cf tho present board, .vho holds the position of crop reporter, against which objections havo been raised by somo legislators. Tho houso passed the bill by Mclntyre to mako train robbery or wreckage or the at tempt of elthor punlshablo by llfo Imprison ment. Tho bill has now passed both houses without a dls'cntlng veto and will go down for tho governor's signature. It originally provided tho death penalty, but was amended to Uh present form by tho committee. Tho Bcnato this nfterncon adopted tho resolution granting tho pardon of Cornelius Moclchen, which passed tho house last week also.

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.

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 only John nnd Caleb Powers, but others as well, had full knowledge of tho alleged plan of assassination.

"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.
