Noted Band Leader Died as
He WiShed-in Harness
After Rehearsal.
BIZ United Press

By united Press
WASHINGTON, March IA sor-
rowing nation today paid tribute to
a man whose martial music made
millions of hearts beat faster and
thrilled audiences from one end of
America to the other.
The body of John Philip Sousa
lay in state in the city where he
was born and where he made his
start as a musician, to become the
country's most famed bandmaster.
Mr.. Sousa, aged II, died early
Sunday morning in Reading, Pa,
where he had gone to lead a con-
cert. The body was brought here
Sunday night and burial will be
Thursday in the Congressional
cemetery.
The band leader died as he wished
in the harness. He had led a
Reading band through rehearsal
just before he attended a banquet
in his honor. A short time later
he was stricken in his suite in the
Hotel Abraham Lincoln and he died
half hour after a physician ar
rived.
Mr.. SouSa became a member Of
the United States marine corps
band when he was only Is, his
father in this way thwarting the
lads desire to run away to join q
circus band.
In a few years he was conducting
theatrical and other orchestraS and
giving violin lessons. In 1877, when
he was % years old, he joined the
orchestra of Jacques Offenbach, and
two years later returned to the
marine band.
He organized his own band in
1892 and directed it in the principal
cities of the world He composed
more than 800 works, ever stresSing
the martial, patriotic theme. Among
them were operas and musical COM
edies. During the war he served as
dollar-a-year man in charge of
the bands at Great Lakes naval
station.
SousaS best known composition
undoubtedly was his STARS and
Stripes Forever march. Other of
his notable works we're THE High
School Cadets" "Semper Fidelis, .
THE Washington Post" King Cot
ton" lei Captain" Liberty Bell"
Manhattan Beach" and THE
Thunderer
Mr.. Sousa was born Nov. 6, 1854
He is survived by the widow, Mrs
Jane Sousa, and two daughters,
Miss Jane Percilla Sousa and Mrs.
Hamilton Albert.
Only two weeks ago Mr.. Sousa
led the marine band at the George
Washington bicentennial celebra-
ton at the capitol. His friends at
that time said he was in failing
health and subject to heart attacks.
