SHELLEY WINS
DEVL|N' 8 JOB
AS DRY AGENT
G.. O. P. National Com
mitteeman Victorious
in Battle of Factions.
Antagonisn of Riddick
and Dixon Wing Fail
to Stop Party Boss.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Appointment
of q. II. =. Shelley. of Helena. as
federal prohibition director for Mon
tana. succeeding l.. J. Devln. was
announced Saturday by the internal
revenue bureau
Helena. Aug 13-O. II. Z. Shelley
of Helena. appointed Saturday to sue
ceed l.. J. Devlin of Havre as federal
prohibition director for Montana, is
Republican national committeeman
from Montana. His appointment by
the bureau of internal revenue over
the vigorous protests of Congressman
Carl W. Riddick. and despite the open
hostility between him and the present
state administration. marks signal
victory for Mr.. Shelley.
During the legislature the Dixon
faction of the Republican party en-
acted law intended to oust Shelley
as national committeeman. The Re
publican state central committee
meeting later and acting presumably
under the provisions of the law re-
ferred to. recommended State Sen
ator o. II. Junod of Madison county
for the position of national commit
teeman.
Senator Junod. however, was not
appointed and the national committee
recognized Shelley as the duly elected
committeeman from this state until his
four-year term expires. The battle
over the federal appointments in Mon
tana has ragged increasingly ever since
Mr.. Shelley has lost out on some of
them. but he has won the most i'm
portant, that of state prohibition di-
rector, at a salary of $4,000 a year.
Since the time when the game of
distributing the federal patronage
opened, Mr.. Shelley has had the re-
fusaI of number of important posi-
tions, among them being that of post
master of Honolulu. another diplo-
matte post in South America, and
other and smaller ones too numerous
to mention, all of which he declined
because he did not wish to leave
Montana.

SOVIET RAID
OPPONENTS MAY
CONTROL RELIEF
Pledge Personal Safety
to American Workers
in Famine District.
Russia Also Agrees to
Supply transportation
for Food Supplies.

Riga. Aug. 13. (By The Associated
Press.-Control by the American re-
lief administration of food distribu-
was agreed to in principle Saturday
afternoon by Maxim Litvinoff, repre-
sentative of the soviet famine relief
committee.
The agreement was reached in ne
gotiations With Walter Lyman Brown
European director of the America re-
lief administration which began here.
Methods of applying American control
local administration and other details,
were not taken up. but are to be con-
sidered at conference to be held
next week.
Following the conclusion of Satur-
days meeting there appeared to be no
insurmountable obstacle to keep the
American relief ADMINISTRATION from
working in harmony with the soviet
government and Russian non -parti-
san committee on foreign relief.
NJ Litvinoff also accepted the pro-
posal that the American relief admin
istration be given sanitary control in
the famine districts in order to guard
against cholera, in case such authori-
ty is asked. He also guaranteed per-
sonal safety and freedom of communi-
cation to American relief workers to-
gether with equal priority with Rus
sian famine relief organizations with
regard to transportation. The soviet
authorities are to pay transport
charges from ports to interior desti-
nations.
The main point of contest now ap-
pears to be the apprehension of the
bolshevlkl that America might place
active political opponents of the soviet
INTO posts where they would control
Russian committees on whom the
work of actual distribution of Ameri-
can food would fall.
