Clash of Dry Forces isi Nevada Is Denied RENO, New, April 21. Prihobition Enforcement Director Stoddard has stated that the reported friction between be-tween his forces and those of W. A. Kelly, newly appointed collector of internal in-ternal revenue for thc 'district of Nevada, Ne-vada, will never materialize and that "there never was an occasion to hint .such a thing." According to Stoddard, a misconstrued miscon-strued report was given out recently when agents from Kelly's offices in San Francisco came here to raid certain cer-tain buildings and his office refused to "approve" the action of the raiders. The refusal brought forth a rush telegram tele-gram from Kelly' to his men asking them to report those who questioned ''(heir authority and to make it known that the prohibition officers were under un-der the authority of the internal revenue reve-nue department. Stoddard denies that he refused to "approve" the action of the revenue agents and stated that it would no: bo in his power to stop action of Kelly's Kel-ly's men if they were within the law.
