and traducer. Joel Liebling. editor of
the Jewish Daily Press. was excom-
municated and pronounced an outcast
by delegates representing every ortho-
dox Jewish synagogue and temple in
Chicago yesterday.
In the resolutions which declared the
editor an Outcast it was voted that the
same anathema should descend on
whoever might befriend him. Further,
it was decreed that copies of the reso-
lutions should be sent to every Jewish
community in the world
Outside Church.
Following the adoption of the reso-
lutions, the question of putting Lieb-
ling outside the pale of the church
was taken up. Rabbis Epstein. Brody
and Hamburger consulted the law and
the prophets to decide whether the of
fenses with which he was charged
would warrant such course. 1t was
decided that the accommodation
would be proper. and. after the regular
forms in the ritual of Jewish worship
had been performed. it was announced
by Rabbi Epstein that Gin the name

Liebling. as the editor OF the Jewish
paper. was accused of slandering re-
spectacle and even noted persons of
the Jewish race. as a reminder that it
would be well either to advertise in or
subscribe for his journal A few
months ago he was said to have been
horsewhipped by Miss T. Weinsaker

Sampson-Schley controversy is likely
to grow out of the criticisms by Ma

Lieutenant General Adna r. Chaffee,
who lives here, yesterday gave out the
following interview:
Fortunately there are few officers
with Geenral Greely's propensity for
lingering into matters that would bet

the present scheme of military divi-

at Secretary Roots request and the
result met his approval.

"There is not the slightest reason
why there should be an embarrassing
conflict of duties, unless one or the
other has a tendency to mix in bus
mess not his own. In the San Francis
co disaster the respective duties of
Generals Funston and Greely were
clear. AS General Greely was absent

was. of course. in supreme command

HOWELL WINNER
BY THOUSANDS
Congressman Is Sustained
Good and Plenty by Peo-
pie of the State.
FRICK HAS GREAT MARGIN
DEMOCRATS GET SMALL CON-
FORT IN STATE.
FRICK HAS GREAT MARGIN

Congressman Howell was sus-
tanned yesterday by a plurality
that will exceed 10000 and may
reach double that amount, the ex-
tent of the eloquent congressman's
excess vote depending entirely
upon the number of Mormon
Democrats who were moved over
into the Republican column.
Judge Prick is elected associate
justice of the supreme court by a
plurality that will be consider
ably less than Howelps, but still
sufficient.
In Salt Lake county the "Ameri-
can" vote was considerable. In Box
Elder county it may be the de-
termining factor in the contest for
several county Offices for which
Democrats were endorsed by the
new party. In Weber county the
Americans" cast about 800 votes.
Elsewhere the vote proved neg
ligible quantity.
From the returns at hand the
Republicans have made a COM
plete sweep of the state. In some
of the counties several of the
county Offices were won by the
Democrats, but not great many.
The legislature will be strongly
Republican.
Some sample Howell pluralities
are: Salt Lake lover Powers),
$40; Utah, 800; Weber, 1888:
Sewer, 500; Tooele, 200; Davis.
200; Box Elder, 500; Cache, 500:
Rich, 100. These totals will
doubtless be largely increased.
Two years ago, with Roosevelt at
the head Of the Republican ticket,
Howells plurality over Powers
was 1920.

ty-five years has ended in triumph
! for Edwin S. Stuart, Republican, for

which late tonight the local Republican

from the contest for other state officers.
the chief interest centered i'm the battle
| in Philadelphia for district attorney

tricts. Members of the house Of repre-

elected in every county, and state SEN

Legislature Republican.
The incoming legislature will be
strongly Republican, although not so
Overwhelmingly for that party as it
was two years ago.
The new personal registration law.
which went into effect since the last
election, reduced the normal vote in
many of the cities. The corrupt prac-
tees act, which also became operative
since the last election, also operated
to cut down the vote in some localities
This act prohibits the use of money at
elections except for legitimate purposes.
and is claimed TO have deferred many
poll workers from buying votes
One of the chief issues in the state
campaign was the new capitol, which
was dedicated on Oct. 4. The fusion
lists claimed that several millfS--a dol
lars of OverchdrgeS and duplication are
represented in furnishing and equip
ping the building. The Republican
candidates pledged themselves, if elect
ed, TO investigate honestly these
charges and to place the responsibility
for the alleged extravaganza where it
rightfully belongs.
Hot Contests for Congress.
OF the congressional contests the hot
test was that against John Dalzel1, one
of the Republican floor leaders
. Thomas d. Nichols, district president
of the United Mine Workers, was the
Democratic nominee against Dale in
the Lackawanna district. Deems in
the Fifteenth district was opposed by
