Born in Capital City.
He was born at Washington, D. c.,
November 6, 1854, the son OF Antonio
and Elizabeth Trinkhaus Sousa. His
musical education began at the age OF
and included vocal study as well as
instruction on the violin, piano and
several other instruments. Millions who
had never seen him were familiar with
his likeness from his pictures which
until the World War always showed
him with neatly trimmed beard.
When he shaved off his beard some
said he did it because he did not want
to look like an old fellow among thou
sands of young huskieS, all anxious
to get a chance to go overseas.
The bandmaster, always OF Jolly,
humorous nature, made the loss OF
his beard the subject of a story, de-
claring that it was responsible for win
ming the war. He used to put 1t that
the Kaiser, when he heard Sousa nao
shaved off his beard, quit, declaring
that there was no use fighting people
who would make such sacrifices.
Although he devoted his entire lie
to music. Sousa found time for recrea-
ton and exercise, his favorites being
horseback riding and boxing. He also
was one of the most expert trap
shooters in the country. He served a
term as president of the American
Trapshooters' Association. He was
honored with decorations by the Brush
and French governments and the Fine
Arts Academy of Hainau, Belgium:

H-CROWN PRINCE
MAY Be CANDIDATE.
Friedrich Wilhelm Cheered
by $1,000 at Nationalist
Meeting.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BERLIN, March 5.-Forner Crown
Prince Friedrich Wilhelm emerged TO-
day as a possible candidate for Presl-
dent in the event that none OF the
candidates now in the field achleVes
a majority in the first balloting week
from tomorrow.
The former heir to the throne was
dramatically presented last night at
Nationalist campaign meeting at the
Sportpalast and he was enthusiastically
cheered by the $4,000 persons In the
audience.
Political commentators interpreted
this incident as a trial balloon to de-
termine what the public reaction to his
candidacy might be.
DR.. Alfred Hugenberg, leader OF the
Nationalist party, was reported nlgfny
pleased over the reception accorded the
former prince. It Is known that ne
hopes Friedrich Wilhelm would prove
acceptable even to Adolf Hitler, NaZl
leader, in the event Hitler did not WIN
out in the first voting.
VIII Stick to End.
President Paul Won Hindenburg Is
declared by political observers to be
determined to stick through to the END
no matter which candidate may be
pitted against him.
In the Communist camp one wing
has been strongly advocating that in
the event of a SECOND ballot enough
Communists vote for Won Hindenburg
to put him across, even though Ernst
Thaelmann, the Communist candidate,
be kept in the race for party reasons.
The Communists are said to be mo-
tivated by the consideration that rela-
tions between Germany and Soviet Rus
sia now are normal and in the event OF
a Hitler victory they might be badly dis
turbed.
Government Optimistic.
In government circles there was buoy
ant optimism that President Won Hin
denburg would be reelected on the
first ballot. The government hgureS
that 80 per cent, or about 36,O00,OO0
persons will vote, and that of these at
least $4,000, 600 may be relied on to
support GermanyS grand old man.
The cabinet is taking next week on
to help in the campaign, and ChanceI-
lor Heinrich Bruening will gon on the
stump at Cologne, Dusseldorf, Dort-
mund, Berlin and Breslau.
Reports from all political camps agree
that this will be the hottest election
since the founding of the Republic.
