However. Eastman has gained a con-
siderable following among the Germans
OF the southern and southwestern parts
Of the city. and Heinrich and some 9TH
ers Of his followers have been excom-
municated because OF their persistent ef-
forts to incite rebellion against the
church authorities. This Is supposed to
have been the moving power behind the
effort OF Heinrich to disturb the meeting
yesterday morning.
From the trend OF so many conference
sermons on the word of WISDOM II has
been surrnlsed that officials OF the Nor
mon church are preparing to enter ac-
lively into the anti saloon campaign In
