Soviet Relief Plot
Suspected by Idaho
Governor, in Appeal

Boise. Idaho. Jan. i3.-By an
exchange OF kilograms with Her
bert Hoover, Governor D. w.
Davis, of idaho, unearthed what
he believed to be an effort on the
part of the Russian soviet govern
ment to obtain food and funds in
the west for sOviets only.
The investigation which led to
the discovery of the scheme started
several days ago when the gov
ernor received telegram from
Chicago. asking him to serve on
the advisory council of "tfe Amer
lean committee for Russian re-
lief, to collect food and funds to
be distributed by the Russian Red
Cross. The wire was signed by
Walter w. Liggett, acting secre-
tary, 4O5 Steinway building, Chi
cago.
The Liggett telegram said four
United States senators, 10 con-
uressmen, five governors, about IS
mayors and numbers of other
prominent citizens had agreed to
serve.
Suspecting that there might be
some irreguiarity, Governor Davis
at once wired to MIR. Hoover and
received a telegram from him
which listed the Russian Red Cross
among number of other organiza-
tions recently found by the depart
ment of Justice to be exclusively
under the supervision of soviet
authorities and apparently in oppo-
sition to the American relief ad-
mfnistration.
