PRESIDENT MTU . M M SPEAK SALT LAKE, OcL 3 It is likely that illness from which he has suffered suf-fered for moro than a year past, and particularly since last April, will prevent pre-vent President Joseph F. Smith of tho Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints from delivering his customary address of welcome at the eighty-ninth eighty-ninth semi-annual conference. Word received last night from President Smith's home and friends was to the effect that the family physician, phy-sician, under whose care, he has been almost constantly since the annual conference In April, has advised that the church head refrain from any extraordinary ex-traordinary exertion, which will pre- elude, at least, the delivery of an ad-j ad-j dress tomorrow. It is barely possblo that the president of the church may m be present, but that is all, It Is said M with some uncertainty. M There aro to be six meetings of the conforence proper in the tabernacle, m , at 10 a. m. and 2 p. m. each day, com- M mcnclng with tomorrow and closing M with Sunday. It is expected that on M Sunday afternoon, if at no other time, there will he overflow meetings in tho Assembly hall and out of doors near 9 the bureau of information. A general 'fl priesthood meeting is to be held in the tabernacle on Saturday night, com- JH moncing at 7 o'clock. .9 On Sunday night in tho tabernacle fl will be held the conference of the fl Deseret Sunday School union, this be- wft ing the concluding large gathering of the semiannual session.
