JOSEPH F. SMITH,
HEAD OF MORMON
CHURCH, IS DEAD
Executive Of Utah Sect Was
Last of Leaders Born Be-
fore Cult Located in
Western State.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 49,
Joseph F. Smith, president of the
Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints (Mormon), died at his
home here early today after long
illness. Death was due indirectly to
a paralytic stroke suffered last April.
Notwithstanding his illness, Presi-
dent Smith attended the recent semi
annual conference Of the church,
held the first week of October, and
spoke strongly 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 Nor
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
Prophet Joseph, were shot to death
by mob which stormed the jail in
Carthage, Mo-, where the two were
confined shortly after they began to
preach plurality of wives. When his
mother, with the rest of the Nor
mons, was driven from Nauvoo, ILL.,,
the 8-year-old Joseph Fielding
Smith drove, an ox-team across the
plains into Utah and became herd
boy, and then missionary, when,
in 1852 Brigham Young established
the headquarters of the Mormon
sect at Salt Lake City, Utah. He
was sent on . mission to Hawaii
when only IS cars 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 presidents
proclamation ended the Mormon
war"
Was Polygamist.
In 1890, after the supreme court
had upheld the Edmunds- Tucker act
making polygamy unlawful in the
territories-which resulted in the
Imprisonment of more than 1000
Mormos-President Woodruff of
the church issued a manifesto de-
claring that polygamy was no longer
practiced by the Mormons. In pub
lie 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 plural family for many years.
and he preferred to meet the conse-
quences .of the law rather than to
abandon his Children and their moth
ers. He testified that he had II
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.

GREAT WRITER'S NEAR DUEL
ToIstoy and Turgenev In Fierce Dis
pute That Might Have Led to
Deadly Encounter.

Tolstoy and Turgenev, famous Rus
sian novelists, were contemporaries
and friends, but on one occasion they
had serious falling out. AS gathered
from a recent biography, this is the
story of their quarrel: The two ia
mouse novelists met at friends house.
Turgenev spoke enthusiastically OF
his young daughters new English gov
erness, mentioning that she required
the child to mend old, ragged clothes
to give to the poor. "Do you consider
that good?" demanded Tolstoy. Il GER
tainly do" replied Turgenev ''it makes
the charity workers realize everyday
needs" "And / think that a we'll
dressed girl with filthy, malodorous
rags In her hands is acting an insincere
farce" commented Tolstoy. II ask
you not to say that" exclaimed Tur-
genev, holly. "Why should l not say
what am convinced Is true?" retorted
Tolstoy. "If you say that again / will
box your ears !" Turgenev cried, white
with rage. and rushed from the ROOM
A duel was narrowly averted. After
ward these famous men became rec
onciled. and on his deathbed Turgenev
wrote an affecting note to Tolstoy, ad-
dressing him as 'the great writer Of
our Russian land."-Outlook.

EXPLAINS POISONING BY FOOD
Science Has Discarded Theory, Long
Held, That Ptomaines Are the
Cause of Infection.

Poisoning by food is no longer ex-
planned as "ptomaine poisoning" but
in an address to the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Science,
DIR. +. o. Jordan showed that it Is due
either to true bacterial toxins compare
BILE to those of diphtheria and tetanus
bacilli, or to infection with specific in
lection carried by the food article. The
best known exaIIple of the toxin-form-
ing microbes Is the bacillus bOtulinus,
which has produced in the United
States % recorded cases of poisoning,
of which II were in California, while
Great Britain has reported no case.
This type of poisoning is rare, but in
lection with food-borne disease bac-
terra seems to occur In great number
of cases. The bacteria are either pres
ent in the food itself, or the food is
contaminated from human sources.
The chief food-borne infections hith-
ertO traced to human contamination
are typhoid fever and the various
paratyphoid infections; but to these
must be added certain infections rare
ly transmitted by any food except
milk, such as diphtheria, scarlet fever,
and streptococcus sore throat. The
type of infection from food contain
mated at its source is exemplified in
the diseases of certain food animals.
The chief infections known to be due
to food infected at its source are those
mainly meat-borne-caused by the
group of paratyphoid enteritidis bac-
terra, and those resulting from the use
of infected milk. The bacterial dis
eases of plants do not infect man.
