MARQUIS OKUMA DIES
IN TOXIC, AGED SO
Japon's Famous Statesman
Directed Policy in War.

TOXIC, Jan. 6 ASSOCIATED Press).-
Marquis Shigenobu Okuma, Japan's
octogenarian statesman. died at his
home here to-day. He was taken seri-
ously i'll last October but until within
the last day or two his condition was
considered as improving. He was SO
years old. In his long public career he
can fifty be called the great bridge be-
tween the old and new Japan and LIS
life was devoted to reconciling the old
and the new. He was Premier in 1915
and 1915. and directed Japans policy
in the world war.
Okuma was one of the three sur
viving Genero, or Elder Statesmen. who
strongly influenced Japanese policy at
home and abroad. The Marquis Yama-
gaia, another of the Genero. was re-
ported yesterday as critically i'll.
Born In 1893. in the province Of Hizen,
city of Saga. Okuma was occupying i'm
portant Government positions when he
was 80. He went abroad as president
of the japanese commission at the
Vienna Exposition and then for about
eight years. 1s73-1Ss1. he had charge
OF the Treasury, first as Vtce-Minister
md then as full Minister. This post he
had to resign because his memorial,
urging the Government to introduce
representative government, was rejected
by his colleagues. He thereupon pro-
ceeded to form the Progressive party,
which afterward gave way to the Ma
tional party.
Okuma was willing to go half way In
meeting the wishes of the Western ma
tions. He suggested the formation OF
courts in which both native and foreign
judges should sit together upon cases.
This proposal aroused great hostility.
One of the partisans approached
Okuma's carriage carrying a gas pipe
bomb hidden in an umbrella. The ex-
plosion shattered Okuma's leg and Ii
was amputated.
Count Okuma entered the Matsukata
Cabinet as Foreign Minister but re-
signed in 1896. Then he formed q
coalition with Itagaki. a radical and
an agitator, who has been styled the
Rousseau OF Japan. The coalition was
effective, and Count Okuma served as
Premier and Minister for Foreign At
fairs for few months.
In policies the Count was. above all.
nationalistic. While he sought and Sc
cured the liking of Americans for
Japan. he was, stanch exponent Of
his nations rights and he looked for
ward to the fulfilling OF Japanese des-
tiny In the control of Far Eastern af-
fairs. L

This is putting II mildly. Dr.. Baldy.
