brief apprenticeship as bakers
Iboy-about two days and nights.
The youth had quarreled with
his music teacher. Sousa's father,
Antonio, a Marine trombonist since
1850. agreed readily enough when
his son insisted upon becoming a
baker. Sousa worked all night IN
the bakery, went to school in the
daytime and rocked a cradle for
the bakers wife in spare moments
He resigned from the bakery
business after AZ hours.
Sousa's father then took his
drowsy son for walk. It. began
at their home in the 500 block
of G street Sc. and wound up at
the Marine Barracks, where the
contract was signed.
/ The talented youth was excused
from serving the full term of his
enlistment, but he returned to
take over the leadership of the
band in 1880, a position he held
for IL years.
| Until his death in 1882 Sousa
often returned to the band to lead
special concerts or try out his
latest compositions.
Col. Santelmann's father, Will

Sousa as a violinist and clarinet

Legend of Souso's Band Will Be Continued
AS SonteImonn Leads Marines at inaugural

player and later became the bandl
leader. He served in this capacity
from 1898 to 1927.
Inspiration at Sea.
Sousa published his inspired
march. THE Stars and Stripes
Forever in 1897. The composer
had taken a vacation in Europe
to recuperate. after a particularly
strenuous concert tour. On the
ocean voyage home a new melody
kept running through Sousa's
head.
Within a few days Sousa's
mental image of the music was
complete in detail and ready to
be set down in the piano version
without alteration. Later he
wrote the band parts.
The march, as published in
1897, has run through the orig
inal 28-year copyright period and
will enter the public domain next
year when the copyright renewal
|eXpires.
Meanwhile, Sousa's publishers
produced the march with special
drum arrangements by August
Helmecke, a veteran of the Ma
|rine Band. who later became
bass drummer in the orchestra
|of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany. This version was copy
Irighted in 1851.
Col. Santelmann's fl n +
started him on the violin at the
age of 6. The young musician
later studied in Boston and played
substitute parts with the Boston
ISymphony.
DOdged Union Fine.
A difference with the union
turned the colonel to a military
career. The union wanted to fine
him $50 for not joining up while
la substitute in Boston.
II was too much of Dutch
man to take anything like that"
Col, Santelmann declared. said
Ito hell with the union and de-
cided to get into the Marine
IBand!"
But the colonel's father. a ma
tive Dutchman. was running the
band. He pointed out to his son
that a violin would rot carry
him in an outfit that demanded
proficiency with at least two in
Istruments.
The young violinist then took
Iup the double tuba, or euphonium.
1T would be breeze, he thought.
Soon he asked for an addition.
His father heard him and turned
thumbs down.
Col. Santelmann was only 81
then and sensitive about his talent.
IT really got down to business
and worked my fool head off"
he said. This went on for weeks:
Fortunately. the family then lived
in Chevy Chase and there was
more space around the houses
than there is now"
| Finally Passes. .
Col. Santelman11 passed his Sec
ond addition and followed in his
fathers footsteps.
But the fatl1er-and-son tradi-
ton may end with the colonel.
Instead of music. William F. San
telmann, jr., took up electrical
engineering, after serving with
Inon-musical Marines in the last
war. Young Santelmann now
holds a postgraduate degree from
Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
Inology.
When Col. Santelmann reaches
the age of retirement. the tradi-
,tional strains of "Auld Lang Syne"
will have an added impact for
veterans long accustomed to at
least one Santelmann in the band.

District Stands Firm
On sou Payment by
Pennsy for Crossings

The District today was standing
fast on it's demand that the
Pennsylvania Railroad bear hall
the cost of building two struc-
ltural crossings of their lines in
the city.
The SO million worth of projects
involved are those proposed for
the extension of New York avenue
me. to meet the Baltimore
Washington parkway. now under
construction and for the under
lpasslng of railroad yards in Kenil-
worth as part of the highway
program for the East Capitol
Street Bridge and its approaches
Railroad officials recently ap-
Ipeared before the District Com
|missioners to state the view that
the railroad does not have to pay
Ia cent toward either construction
project, since it stands to derive
mo benefit from either.
NAtS supreme OOuEts
They declared that the so-called
Union Station Act Of 1908. under
which the city now makes its $3.50
|cost-share demand, is "Constitu-
Itionally unenforceable." They cited
Ia 1885 Supreme Court decision to
uphold their case.
But the Commissioners highway
and legal advisers yesterday con-
tended that the Union Station
Act applies to the present cir
|cumstances, while the facts of the
court case cited are mot analo-
|gous."
The technical steps to be fol-
lowed are for the District to pro-
coed with the projects with its
own funds and to resort to court
proceedings later, If necessary. to
compel the railroad company to
pay a $3.50 share.
Would Forego Aid.
This means the city will have
to forego any Federal highway
grants in aid. But the Federal
aid which the city will fail to get
for these projects may be applied
Ito other projects, Commissioner
F. Joseph Donohue said.
Highway officials earlier had
made an offer, which would have
required the railroad to pay only
Ia Is per cent share in the cost.
But the company was adamant in
its belief that it is required to
pay nothing.
The New York avenue overpass
has an estimated total cost Of
$500. 900; East Capitol street. $2.2
million.

Thief Here Rings UE
Profit of Truck and
Six Cash REGISTERS

What looked like big business
invaded the National Cash Reg
lister Co. last night and rang up
a profit of six stolen cash reg
listers and one stolen truck.
George Jones, service manager
of the company at 1217-19 K
street NV. said the culprit en-
tered through a rear window.
The thief found the cash reg
listers and 5000 worth of tools in
the truck. plainly labeled with
the company name, and drove
them all away. The registers and
tools were valued at $1,787.

The Marine Band is now tuning
up for another Inauguration in
the best traditions of the great
march king.
One of the traditions is a ia
ther to son musical heritage,
which has kept alive the spirit as
well as the compositions of John
Philip SouSa.
When the marching Marines in
full dress open up January 20 on
that old favorite, THE Stars and
Stripes Forever" they will be led
by man who. like his father be-
fore him. was trained under
Sousa at the Marine Barracks
here.
The careers of 1t. Col. William
F. Santelmann. ST.. and his father
closely parallel those Of the
|Sousas. Antonio and John Philip.
Both second-generation musicians
began their training at tender
ages, under parents well qualified
as teachers and critics.
Held to Fathers Standards.
Neither was allowed to sign up
with the famous outfit until he
had measured up to standards set
by his father. Both were to lead
the band to new triumphs in the
course of a history dating back
to the founding of Washington
as the National Capital.
The Sousa tradition will be
further strengthened when the
85-piece band goes to New York
Ion Sunday to play at the premiere
Iof THE Stars and Stripes For
ever" technicolor version of
|Sousa's most productive years.
The historic Marine Barracks at
Eighth and ! streets Sc. forms a
background for part of the pic
lture.
Col. Santelmann's Office at the
barracks contains many memen-
tos of the life and times of the
ISousas. One is a photostatic en-
Ilargement of the enlistment con-
tract signed by John Philip Sousa,
June 9, 1868. at the age of "13
years. 6 months and 3 days."
The young music who stood
only feet, 9 inches tall in his
Sunday boots. must have been a
bit frightened by the oath he
took, under authority of the Act
of October IL. 1898. creating the
band. He solemnly affirmed, Il
have had read to me the rules
and articles of the Army and
Navy against mutiny and deser-
ton"
Musicians Scarce.
When the act was passed, mu-
sicians were rather scarce in the
wilderness country, for Congress
authorized the enlistment of
musics of "any size or age. if
found" Jobs in the band weren't
too popular at first, because of
rigid discipline, sea duty and low
pay.
One early bandmaster reported,
IT enlisted a fifer yesterday and
gave him $40, and the villain went
off in a few hours"
Reference to desertion in young
Sousa's contract may have sprung
from this sad experience. The
musician bound himself to serve
for z year, months and q days
until he reached his 21st birthday.
Young SouSa struck an odd note.
when he gave his trade or occu-
patton" at the age of 10. as cabi-
inetmaker." Sousa'S own story of
his life, Marching Along" offers
no clue to this mystery. He ad-
mitted to an early weakness for
the circus, and even had an offer
to play in a circus band as a pro-
Ifessional. Otherwise. he served a

Virginia Group
Disagrees With
BridqeProposa!s
Now Fovors Span
Upstream Instead
Of { Street Plan

i W u StISCN uIOu
The Northern Virginia Regional
Planning and Economic Develop
ment Commission was in disagree
ment today with the National Cap
ital Planning Council and the
Washington Regional Highway
Planning Committee over recon-
mendation for bridges leading
+ into Washington. :
The Regional Council three
weeks ago favored a plan to con-
struct new bridges at Jones Point
below Alexandria and central
Washington bridge in the E street
area.
Last Sunday the Highway Plan
ming Committee concurred in this
recommendation.
The Virginia group, however
last night adopted a report favor
ing the construction of the Jones
Point bridge and a bridge up
Istream to connect with Nebraska
avenue. In recommending the
Nebraska bridge over the central
Washington bridge, the Virginia
commission criticized it's States
representatives on the council for
voting on the central plan without
first learning the desires of the
Virginia group. It was indicated
that Virginia members of the
council may request a rehearing
on the matter in the council.
Relief for Chain and Key Spans.
In the report by the commits
sion's Committee on Roads and
Transportation, Philip B. Hall,
Alexandria. said the Nebraska
avenue bridge was favored because
1t would attract traffic from and
provide relief for both Chain and
Key bridges.
He said this bridge also would
provide a more direct route from
Government installations in near
by Maryland to homes in Virginia
THE northern section of Airing
toa County" Mr.. Hall said, lis the
only large undeveloped area, and
this bridge could be expected to be
used by new residents in this area
as well as by residents of West
Falls Church and other rapidly
expanding areas in Fairfax
County.
"This bridge, like the one at
Jones Point, would be an integral
part of an intermediate ring which
would service as a traffic dissipa-
tor and bypass of the central
area of Washington"
| MIR. Hall said the committee felt
that a central Washington bridge
should be deferred until the i'm
pact and the pattern of the Jones
Point and Nebraska avenue
bridges could be felt in the CEN
trail district of the city.
Arlington Needs Cited.
c. G. Stoneburner, Arlington
County highway director, speak
ing in favor of the construction
of central Washington bridge
said the greatest need is to get
traffic through Arlington County
| Mr.. Stoneburner said a central
bridge would utilize the two exist
ing through Observation-Disclosures
boulevard and Shirley highway
He said both of these highways
are capable of carrying about 3d.
900 additional vehicles per day.
! The county highway director
said that Yorktown drive would
have to be considerably improved
in order to meet requirements as
a bridge-access road.
John Nolen. jr., director of the
National Capital Planning Com
mission. showed charts of traffic
flow into Washington from Vir-
ginia. These charts indicated
that over 40 per cent of traffic
now being Shunted through the
central Washington area is des-
tined for other points in WASH
