COLORADO WARDEN
 WON'T QUIT POST
Ignores Governors Order SuS-
 pending Him

Denver, Colo, Jan. 5.-(Pl-War- den Thomas J. Tynan today con- tinued in control of the state peni- tentiary at Canon City in defiance of an executive order from Governor Clarence J. Morley suspending him for ten days without pay.
 Charged by the governor with in- efficiency, drunkenness. insubordina- ton and inhuman treatment of con victs, Warden Tynan declared the courts have ruled that governor has no authority to suspend war den and that nobody is going to take possession of this penitentiary except by legal means"
 Replying to the governors state ment that the gates to the peniten- tiary were padlocked, that extra guards were patrolling the walls and that machine guns were trained on the main entrance, Tynan said the prison equipment included a large arsenal, but refused to say whether he planned to use the guns to keep out the governors representatives. The machine guns have been used for years to guard prisoners in the rock quarries, the warden said.
 Governor Morley said Tynan was informed of his suspension by tele- phone yesterday and of the appoint ment of Sheriff Clifford R. Glasson of Fremont county as acting warden. Copies of the order were then mail- ed to Tynan and Glasson.
 In disputing the governors con- tention that the order was effective immediately, Tynan said he was en- ployed by the state civil service com mission and would continue in office until relieved by the commission.
 The breach between Tynan and Morley reached climax when the warden refused to admit the physi- cians. The controversy is a sequel to an attempt by Governor Sweet, whom Morley succeeded, to oust Tynan. The investigation launched by Sweet included a survey of the

Executive Committee Considers Engagement of New Speaker

That Everyman's Bible class may be forced to change speakers, dis- pensing with the serslce of Prof. David D. Vaughan of Boston, who has been speaking to the class every Sunday morning this season, seems assured from the attitude of the ex- ecutiye committee of the class, at a meeting held in the Y. M. c. A. last evening.
 While no definite action was taken last night, except to vote to hold an adjourned meeting of the committee Monday evening, a recommendation was adopted, practically unanimous ly, that the meeting Monday vote to dispense with the services of tho speaker.
 No criticism is directed at Prof. Vaughan in the predicted action or in the recommendation. The class is involved financially to the extent of about 5000, but according to Presi- dent Clarence c. Palmer, there are enough definite pledges In sight to raise s1,2O0.
 Prof. Vaughan, instructor in so- ciology at Boston university. was en- gagged by the committee at the rate of s100 a week. At the time the ex- ecutive committee members were under the impression that a large part of this expense was underwrit- ten. This has proved to be erroneous.
 At the meeting last evening only about half the members of the com- mittee were present, and for this sea- son, final action was delayed until Monday night. ...
 Prof. Vaughan's Sunday morning addresses have been of high stand- ard, but have been confined mostly to sociological and psychological subjects, which have not been pop ular with a certain element. For this reason attendance has fallen off somewhat until last Sunday there were only IFS men present. The pre- ceding Sunday, which was the day of severe storm, 60 men attended the meeting.
 Prof. Vaughan will be absent for the next two weeks Next Sunday. Rev. G. H. Schneck will speak and the following Sunday the address will be by Rev. W. H. Alderson.

The tables Of two other teams
