' Salt Lake City, Utah. Nov. 19. ToseDh F. Smith, president of the Church of Jesus Christy of Latter Day Saints (Mormon), died at his home here early today after a long illness. Death was due indirectly to a naralvtic stroke suffered last April. Notwithstanding his illness, Presi dent Smith attended the recent semi annual conference of the olfurch, held the first week of October, and spoke fctrongly against polygamous marriages, which, it was rumored, had been , surreptitiously performed 'during the last few years. Last of Line. With the death of Smith has passed probably the last of the Mor mon leaders whose birth occurred prior' to the settlement of the cult in Utah. Joseph Fielding Smith was 80 years old. His father, Hyrum Smith, and his uncle, the original Prpphet Joseph, were shot to death by a mob which stormed the jail in Cartilage, Mo., where the two were confined shortly after they began to preach plurality 4of wives. When his mother, with the rest of the Mor- , mons, was driven from Nauvoo, 111., the 8-year-old Joseph Fielding Smith drove an ox-team across the plains into Utah and became a herd boy, and then a missionary, when, in 1852 Brigham Young established the headquarters of the Mormon sect at Salt Lake City, Utah. He was sent on a mission to Hawaii when only IS , Jars old. ' He entered the army which Young dispatched to intercept the United States troops which were about to invade Utah, and performed active service as a scout, harassing the fed eral expedition, until the president's proclamation ended the "Mormon war." Was Polygamist. In 1890, after the supreme court had upheld the Edmunds-Tucker act t making polygamy unlawful in the territories which resulted in the . imprisonment of more than 1,090 Mormos President ' Woodruff of the church issued a manifesto de claring that polygamy was no longer firacticed by the Mormons. In pub ic admonitions, President Smith upheld this manifesto', but as to his own case, he said, before the senate inquiry, that although it was con trary to the law of the land, he had had a plural family for, many years. ;nd he preferred to meet the conse quencesf the law rather than to abandon his children and their moth ers. He testified that he had 11 children born since 1890, and that all of his wives had borne children since that time, but he reiterated that no plural marriages had been performed by officers of the Mormon church or sanctioned to be performed by the church since. 1890. ;N Probable Successor. ' Sait Lake City, Utah, Nov. 19. Heber J. Grant, president of the quorum of 12 apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Mormom) church, Is regarded as likely to succeed to the presidency, precedent having established his suc cession. In every case siace the es tablishment of the church in the Salt Lake valley by Brigham Young, the president of the quorum of 12 has succeeded" to the first presidency, which carries with it also the titles qf prophet, seer and revelator, and usually trustee in trust. - l !
