TAX PAYERS WERE PROMPT
The Increase Over Last Y ear is $513,- 543.15-This is Accounted for in the Extra Assessment
 Recently Levied

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel Mabson, Mont gomery, February 9-(Special.)-The heavy increase in the tax rate by the last general assembly is having a telling effect on the condition of the state treasury. There is probably the largest balance in the treas ury now in the history of the state, or at least for the last quarter century. At the close of business Thursday the balance in the treasury was s1O13, 716.07. On the cor responding date last year the balance in the treasury was $500, ,172.92, showing a gain this year over last of $513,543 This big increase is largely due to the special tax levied by the last legislature for the sol ders and public schools. Of the increase $262 900 comes from this source. Also in cluded in the estimate is $56,OOO received from the illegal sale of university lands, and $24,3I0 unexpected interest money. These items foot Up a total of 2,340, and makes a showing for all of the increase save sl71,2o3 This balance in the increase is made up by the unexpected balances of the several departments.

ARGUMENTS END
 IN MOLINEUX CASE
Attorney Osborne ViciousIy At
 tackS Mrs. MoIineux.
SOLE MOTIVE FOR CRIME
He Arraigned MT. Weeks for Having Brought Ladies to the Court Room to Hear Such
 Statements Made

New York, February 9.-Assistant District Attorney Osborne tonight completed his arr gument in the trial of Roland B. Moineux for the murder of Mrs. Kate J. Adams. Recorder Golf will charge the jury tomor- row morning. and the twelve men are ex- pected to take up at once the question of the guilt or innocense of the prisoner.
 The most dramatic event of the day was the attack which Assistant District Attor- ney Osborne made upon Mrs. Molineux, the wife of the prisoner This attack was somewhat unexpected. since Barlow S. Weeks, the attorney for the prisoner had already characterized the mere introduce. ton ofsevidence concerning the fact that Moineux lived with his wife before mar riage under the name of "Mr. Cheshrough," as How and mean and vile" But MT. Os- borne elected to pick up the gauge of battle thrown town before the counsel for the defendant. The war was on in an instant today when MT. Battle, who is associat ed with MT. Weeks in the defense of Molneux, objected to MT. Osborne saying that Mrs. Molineux was the sole motive in the case, that Molineux had been trying to marry her and that she had only consented to marry him suddenly after Barnet. who had been a devoted admirer was cold in his grave. MT. Osborne had just finished read ing the note signed Blanche" sent by Miss Chesbrough to Barnet during his last ill., ness And when MT. Battle nterposed his objections, MT Osborne turned quick as a flash toward Mrs. Molineux, There Is the woman, there is the motive,' he exclaimed in tones dramatic because of their fierce intensity.
 MT. Battle Continues to Object
 Mir Battle stil continued to object upon the grounds that the statement could not be supported by the evidence, MT. Osborne's s voice rang out again: Let the galled jade vince I do not blame counsel for object ing, but that woman is the living, concrete form of the motive in the Barnett case. and it is undisputed that the man who sent poison to Barnett sent the poison to Cornish hate to have to speak in this manner of this woman. It Is shameful that Mr. Weeks brought these ladies to this court when he knew the subject Of which I must speak. It is a continuation of the cowardly crime and shows the na- ture of the man who would consent that his womankind should hear such words. General Moneux left his seat at the close of this attack, leaned over the back of his wifes chair and patted his daugh- ter-in-law reassuringly on the shoulder Molineux himself never moved
 In closing, MT. Osborne said: "Remem- Der the Frankenstein, remember that he was built with a backbone and muscle, but his creator could not give him soul. The defendant has TO soul or he could not laugh, as he has laughed in this court room under circumstances that must break the hearts of his father and mother

thrown down hard by the Peoples party
representatives in conference assembled
In Spokane today.
At a caucus held last night Todd was
led to believe that the resolutions pre-
pared by the state committee would be
adopted at the conference meeting today
After delivering himself OF no less than
six fiery speeches in support OF his reso-
lutions the meeting unanimously tabled
them and proceeded to the adoption of
resolutions more to their liking
Just previous to the turning down OF the
committees resolutions. Farmer Todd
voiced warning by saying: "If a hand
full OF the members of the party over
here adopt resolutions different from those
adopted at Tacoma. the executive commit
tee will be Just as much at sea as ever
II they should follow that course. and the
committee cannot carry out the plan, then
Eastern Washington must take the re-
sponslbillty"
After tabIlng the resolutions the chair
man OF the meeting. W, j. Walker, Of
this city, appointed committee of five
which brought in the following resolu-
tions. They were adopted and ordered

The disorder and uproar grew. and
Chairman Calderhead vainly raped for
order dozen delegates wildly strove
for recognition. Finally the storm was
quelled, when Judge Winsor begged MT.

At this humiliation of the governors

with glee. Clark Davis jumped on q
chair. Three cheers for Little" he cried.
They were given, and then everybody
laughed.
Bridges and Little shook hands.
Paul Land moved 10 table the Forrest
resolution, which prevailed, on close
vote. The anti-Rogers men shrewdly dis
tracted the attention of the governors
enemies from the advantage they had
obtained but not for long. Judge Forrest
offered a resolution recommending to the
state convention that two-thirds vote
be required in the joint fusion convention,
IL such he held, for the nomination OF
a set OF candidates This was effectual
a blow at Gov. Rogers hopes as the for
mer motion. The anti-Rogers men hur-
