 "l am q candidate for the presidency in the sense that if l gain the nomina- ton shall accept it and make every effort to be elected. l am not making any personal campaign and do not ex- pert to seek instructed delegates. consider the ambition to be president one of the most laudable aspirations which any man can entertain.
 "l have the highest regard for Mr. Bryan as a man." said Governor John son, and l admire his ability and his honesty We are friends. so far as I know. My position is just this: If the members of the Democratic party feel that 1 would stand more chance of election than would Mir. Bryan or any other man, will be glad to make the campaign.
 If l am considered the most avail able man. there will be no lack of ap- preciation on my part of the honor con ferred on me. It all depends. in my judgment, on the platform and q viz orouS campaign As view it. the Democratic party has at least an even chance to win this year"

SHOOTS HIS MOTHER
Murder Follows Young Mans
 Release From Reformatory.
TRIES TO WIPE OUT FAMILY
Baby In Sisters Arms Saves Her Life and Neighbours Intervention Rescues Brother - Slayer With Bad Record Blames Relatives.

New York, April 9. After having worked out his plan carefully in reformatory 10 which he had been sent upon complaint of his family, Bernard Carlin, who has spent eight, cen of his twenty-five years in charity homes and reformatories. murdered Mrs. Susan Carlin, his mother, in her home. oS7 Quincy street, Brooklyn. He had premeditated the murders of his four brothers and sisters.
 IWenty-four hours after his release from the Napanoch reformatory he pumped five bullets into" his mother. as he put it. and started to kill his sister Mrs. Mary Powers. But at the sight of a baby. three months old. in her arms his fury turned from her. As his revolver was useless. he seized knife and would have killed his brother, Anthony, but the interven- ton of George Tonyes of GIG Quincy street prevented second trag gedy. As young Carlin was held, struggling over the body of his mother he showed no renlorSe. Instead he snarled that he was sorry he had not killed the whole family"
 Cool In Police Station.
 In appearance no pan seemed more rational than Carlin after he had been dragged to the Gates avenue police station on q charge of murder. He was cool. but bitterness flashed from his weak. sore eyes.
 "l am half blind" he said. and this woman that was supposed to be my mother was responsible for it."
 He told of having been put in a charity nom" as a baby. of having re- ceived treatment for lacerated eye lids that, he said. injured his sight: of being jeercd in school because of his weak eyes and his habit of pla} truant from school to get away from his deriding schoOlmatcs. He accused his mother. brothers and sisters of lack of sympathy for his condition and of refusing to keep him at home
 Vowed Vengeance on Family.
 Because of his poor sight. Carlin said, he lost one job after another and finally was led to commit deeds that caused him 10 be sent to reforma- tories. He told of longing for the af- lection of his family. but added that when they sent him to reformatory in March of last year he vowed 1 vengeance. He kept bis behavior l good in the aim of getting out sooner | that he might kill his mother.
 As fact, young Carlin has been in | corrigible for years. His mother could ; exercise no restraining influence over him. His brothers and sisters could 1 not inspire him with ambition. and 1 finally he was sent to prison for hay 1 ing taken part in stealing a horse and . wagon.

 Information About Prince.

New York, April 9.--George I. Gould has by no means abandoned his bplli- gcrent attitude toward Prince Hclie de Sagan despite the policy of peace adopted by bis wife. brothers and sis ter Helen with the idea of winning Mme. Gould from the influence of the titled Frenchman.
 It was learned that George Gould. acting on information from abroad. had during the last few days caused an attorney to apply to the chief of police of Paris for the record of De Sagan in that department The Paris police could not possibly have rec ord of the prince unless they had ar rested him or prosecuted him for some crime
 When the news that George Gould had made application to the chief of police of Paris for the record of De Sagan was carried to the prince he laughed
 "l am quite at ease-quite at ease" ie said. about anything which George Gould may do. He may search wher- ever he pleases for my record"

JUDGE ENDORSES VERDICT
IN THE HAYWOOD CASE

Chicago June "a remarkable In
dorsement of the jury verdict which ac-
quilted William d. Haywood of cons
plicity I'm the Steunenberg murder was
made last night by Judge William II.
Seaman of the United states circuit
court of appeals.
In an address delivered before tho
graduating class of the Chicago Kent
college OF law, Judge Seaman cited the
Haywood trial as one OF the most strik-
ing known proofs OF the contention
that American juries can weigh the evil
denoe In a case without being swayed
by public opinion.
When the Haywood case was tried.
said Judge Seaman, the community
where the trial was held, and. indeed,
the whole country was afiame with
popular clamor The people and high
officials of the people demanded Hay
woods punishment and demanded II
with voice that no jury could have
failed 10 hear
The verdict rendered in the face or
public passion and demand was abso-
lutely Just. And it was a remarkable
Vindication of the jury system in Amer
lea Whether or not the defendant was
guilty will never be absolutely known,
but il was clear that he was not proved
guilty under the law, and the Haywood
jury, uninfuenced by the public clamor,
stated this fearlessly"

OUTLOOK AMONG FARMERS.
Tomato Growers Say Crop VIII be
Good If Warm Weather Comes.

The excess of moisture and the CON
sequent chilly weather are the causes
or much apprehension on the part OF
farmers and gardeners as to the prob
able result upon certain grains and
vegetables. Not in many years has
the season been as backward as this,
and for weeks plant growth has been
almost at q standstill. This condition
Is particularly true of tender vege-
tables, chief among which. in these
parts. is the tomato. Plants set out
weeks ago show growth scarcely per-
ceptible.
The opinion is expressed among some
tomato raisers that the crop will be an
utter failure. while other growers are
optimistic In this regard. Manager
Stringham of the Woods Cross Can
ning Company said today:
While the cold and stormy weather
mas greatly retarded the growth of to-
inato plants, the outlook is by no means
discouraging. They will quickly de-
Velop when warm days appear and win
show no signs of having been stunted.
II is in the fall that the results of the
late spring will best be seen, for I'M
less autumn frosts are longer delayed
than usual the tomato crop will be very
light The trouble viii be In ripening,
and not because there will not be "A
good Yield of tomatoes"
John Stringham. of the Benefit Life
insurance company, who is Interested
In tomato raising and the canning in
dustry, expressed an opinion similar
to the foregoing. declaring il to be
his opinion that the danger to the to-
mato crop might be looked for at the
end of the season rather than any
considerable harm that will be wrought
now
