fingers earned him s5,000,0O0 in
America.
But although famed as a pianist
and composer-his minuet is per-
haps his best known and was
written in 20 minutes-Paderews
had another side to his personality,
that of orator and statesman, and
the World War brought it out.
Raised Army in United States.
His homeland turned into theater
Of war, he came to the United States
and raised an army of 10000 Poles
which later became the largest
Polish fighting unit in France. In
1919 he was made president of
Poland but resigned the same year
because of political unrest.
Illness made much of his life q
misery when coupled with the
trgedies that beset his household
and country. Bright spot through
80 years, however, was his second
marriage, to Baroness Helene Won
Rosen, daughter of the former Rus
sian ambassador in the United
States in 1899.
But she died seven years ago and
once more left him in loneliness
which only his great love for the
piano and his country-and his un-
ceasing efforts at both-could as
suage.
Despite his age he still retained
his title of president of the Polish
National Council at the time of his
death.

Paderewski, Pianist
And Statesman, Dies
At Age Of 80
Ex-President of Poland
Victim of Pneumonia
After Short Illness

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 30.-Ignace
Jan Paderewski, 80, who ruled a
piano for 60 years and a nation for
one, died last night.
Pneumonia struck down the first
president of the Polish republic
and one of the greatest musicians
of all time after a short illness.
BY his side in the Hotel Bucking-
ham were his sister, Nine. Antonina
Wilkonska; his doctor, DR.. Asa l..
Lincoln, and his aide, Sylvan
StarackacZ.
The white haired patriot was
stricken with a cold last week and,
ignoring his doctors orders, made
one of his many recent public ap-
pearances to help raise funds for
his starving countrymen.
Three days ago he became gravely
i'll and yesterday afternoon he was
placed in an oxygen tent, only to
breathe his last just before mid
night.
Heart to Be Removed.
In keeping with an old Polish
tradition requiring the heart of a
great artist to be separated from
the body after death, the heart of
Paderewski will be removed here
and ultimately placed somewhere in
Poland other than the place of the
body's entombment.
Eventual disposition of the body
in Poland will depend on the Polish
government, but after the war his
heart probably will be kept in the
cathedral at Warsaw where Chopin s
heart was placed.
Tentative funeral arrangements
called for services at st. Patrick S
Cathedral at 9 am. Thursday.
Plagued by Tragedy.
The man who was to rank with
List and Rubinstein as the three
supreme masters of the keyboard
was born November 6, 1860. in the
tiny village of Kurilowka in Russian
Poland, and was not three years old
before tragedy began plsguing him
as it did most of his life.
Cossacks ravaged the town, sent
his father into Siberian exile.
At 6, Paderewski took his first
piano lessons from a wandering
fiddler, at II he gave his first re-
cital, at 16 made his first concert
tour. At 20, just when he was be-
ginning to win acclaim, he lost
through death, his bride of less than
a year.
Paderewski made his first Ameri-
can tour in 1891, and in 10 such
tours he never returned home with
less than a profit of s25000O.
1t has been estimated that his
