DEATH CLAIMS
r SHERIFF MARTIN
Charleston, July 14.?Capt. J. El~
more Martin, sheriff of Charleston
(j for nearly 24 years, died this morning
at his residence, after an illness
of several weeks. He was in his
's G3rd year. The end came at 9:30
n' o'clock, and his death caused a profound
shock to this community, for
p while it was realized that he was
seriously ill, he had recently shown
^ signs of improvement that led to the
hope he would recover. His condition
~ became rapidly worse yesterday af'
ternoon, and his physicians last night
? declared he could live only a few
, hours. At his "bedside were all mem
bers of.Jiis family, excepting Vincent
[ Maitirt, his youngest son, a Clemson
cadet now at Camp Knox, Kentucky.
It is likely that the funeral will not
0 be held until after his arrival.
Few men were better known in
this state than Sheriff Martin. For
, nearly forty years he had been prominent
in public life, and numbered his
friends by the thousands, not only in
v this city and county, but throughout
the state. Born in Allendale
rj May 30, 1859, he moved to Charlcs'
ton in 1881 to engage in business.
) He first entered public life in 1891,
v when elected an alderman from
'J Ward 8, and the next year was appointed
chief of police by Mayor
Ficken. When the metropolitan po7
lice system was put on here Captain
^ Martin was appointed marshal, and
^ served successfully and with much
t tact. In 1897 he was appointed sheriff
by Governor Ellerbe to fill out' the
0 unexpired term of Sheriff Hugh Fer^
guson, who died. He held the office
11 of sheriff continuously to the time
n of his death, being 'elected and re-*
elected five "times. His final re-elecN
tion in ..920, found him without op^
position for the first time, and this
indorsement was a source of great
y satisfaction to him. Captain Martin
^ was a life long friend of the late
| Senator Tillman, and took a special
interest in Clemson collegej having
9 served on the board of visitors for
a considerable time. 'He was a mem"
ber of many organizations here, heing
a Mason, Shriner, Pythian, Elk
and Odd Fellow among other frater
; | nai amuations.
~ I Long a member and vestryman, of
St. Paul's Episcopal church, it is presumed
that the funeral will be held
a there, with the rector, the Rev. Mercer
P. Logan, officiating.

While Captain Martin was long A. poj
litical leader in this county, and the
center in many campaigns of strenuous
activity, he numbered as his
j friends not only those supporting "him
t'_ but many in the ranks of oppos_
ing factions, as his genial personality
and sterling traits of character were
powerful factors of his popularity.

Japan willing to
enter conference
Washington, July 14.?(IIy the Associated
Press.)?Japan is ready to
enter the disarmament conference but
withholds assent to an unrestricted
discussion of Far Eastern questions
as part of it.
The viewpoint of the American govemmcnt
is that a solution of Far
Eastern questions is a necessary accompaniment
to any disarmament
program.
This develops the first hitch?if a
hitch it turns out to be?in President
Harding's plan to remove the causes
for heavy armaments and then reduce
the armaments themselves.
American officials, however, are optimistic
that a way will he found for
a satisfactory conference to which
Japan will be a party and for a program
of armament reduction acceptable
to all.
The Japanese reply to the preliminary
question of whether she would
receive an invitation to such a conference
came to the state department
today through the American
embassy at Tokyo. Its text was not
made public and department officials
decline to reveal its contents except
to say that it expressed approval of
the disarmament discussion but did
not agree to a consideration of the
Pacific problems. During the day,
however,* it became known that the
altitude of the Japanese government
was known to the government here.
This attitude is that the disarmament
question is a vast one in itself
and if other questions are introduced
into the' field of discussion the
conference may be so broadened as
to endanger its success. Japanese officials
arc said to feel this to be
particularly true if the questions so
introduced are to affect the delicate
balance of diplomatic relations in the
Orient. There is manifest in Tokyo
a belief that such a debate might
open up a Pandora's box of troublesome
diplomatic intricacies which
would set for Mr. Harding's conference
a task of readjustment even
greater than that attempted by 'he
peace conference of Versailles.
The alternative, in the belief of
Japanese statesmen, would be to
agree before hand on exactly what
questions will form the subject matter
of the discussions.
To this- is opposed the opinion of
Atvierjfcaii officials that if all the nations
nrs^sgxee to come into the
conference whatever limitation appeared
advisable coiild be fixed by
Lgfinewil assent afterward.
| of the president and his advisers
did not appear tonight. China having
accepted the invitation unconditionally
during the (lay, however, all
of the invited powers were on record
as agreeing at least to discuss disarmament.
and it was the apparent
purpose of the state department to
regard the assembling of the meeting
as assured, and to proceed in due
course to issue notes of invitation in
j more formal character.
