who would succeed J. B. Tomlinson. The
rumorS all lack cOnfirma ton. Governor
Stanley said this morning.
There is no truth whatever in the re-
ports regarding i'll feeling between the
warden of the penitentiary and myself
We have never had a word over his
method of conducting the institution, and
/ have not said that would remove
him. He has said that he thought he
could do better by attending to his per
sonal business, but that IS all that has
been said about the matter
In regard to the report that he had
offered the position to Ora Morse, the
governor said:
"Tou can say that the report is not
authenticated. do not know how the
report got started, but I have done
nothing to give rise to it."
The gossip was to the effect that the
governor and Warden Tomlinson did not
agree upon the way the Denitentisry
was managed in some of the smaller
matters The governor is quoted IS say
ing that the expenses should be cut
down. and TomlinsOn is quoted as say
ing that if the governor could find a
man who could run the institution bet
ter than he could that the thing to do
was to appoint him. The report was
given credence, because it is known that
Tomlinson is a very independent man,
and that he has a business which viii
