Mallcy came out yesterday as the rival of Tom "Ward for the Democratic nomination for Sheriff, on an antl-gam-bllngr, law-enforcement, business-method platform, in response to the petition of a committee of eight warhorses from the Young Men's Democratic Club and the Multnomah Democratic Club. Back into his shell the "Word people tried to drive ' him. by pressure through influences mutually friendly to Word and committee that It had found In Joe Malley another candidate for the nomination, be Fides Tom "Word, and that the rivalry be tween the two, no matter which should succeed, would be beneficial to the party bj- stimulating: Interest in the primaries and party spirit. Mr. Mallcy was busy on his primary pe tition yesterday, and will flic it with the County Clerk in a day or two. It will cite that Mr. Mallcy proposes to be the peo ple's Sheriff, to administer the office with out favor and to enforce the laws.

Insuring prompt service of all papers. Other candidates for Constable who will run against Mr. Wagner are: Jack .O'Day. George Mitchell, August Svca. J. Reisch, William Lillls.

Sandstrom. of 956 Williams avenue, has filed a petition for nomlna- RIVAL CANDIDATES FOR DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION AS SHERIFF M. J. Malley. Tom Word. Mallcy insisting that, since Word liad ( come out first, the party should give mm an open field, and that all the brethren should try to boost him along instead of bringing out another candidate. But Mal Jy refused to budge, and when five of the eight warhorses A. E. Ream, E. Ver jteeg, William Foley, Charles Pctrain and General Edward Killfcathcr called on him at his grocery store on Third strcett Candidate Mallcy said: Announces Ills Candidacy. "Gentlemen. I shall be a capdidatc, and should I be nominated and elected 1 shall j give the Sheriffs office the very best ad- j ministration that I know how. I shall j conduct its affairs as carefully and with : as close attention to business details as I j conduct my own affairs In this store. There will be no open gambling while I j am Sheriff, and I shall enforce the laws j with all the energy that I possess. For a j long time I was averse to entering this contest, but I have been urged by so many persons to make the run and so ' many of my fellow-Democrats hold It up to me as my duty to the Democratic party, that I have consented to make the race." Whereat the visiting brethren bowed themselves out and betook themselves to the office of George H. Thomas, another stanch Democrat in the boomed class. But Mr. Thomas declined to run, saying that he never had had a thought of seek ing the nomination. Thomas Not a Candidate. He said: "A month ago I made this same statement at an open meeting of the Young. Men's Democratic Club. As a grand juror I supported Mr. Word's ad ministration, and I purpose voting for him in the primaries." referring by this remark to the famous grand Jury which found an indictment against Mayor Will iams for failure to enforce the law against gambling, an indictment which was dismissed. Thus far, Mr. Thomas' remarks could hi Interpreted as favoring Mr. Word, but half an hour later, when he spoke for publication, they had a chillinessv about them. "Have you heard." he was asked, "that Mr. Van Zamc refused to serve on the Joint committee of the two clubs, which was appointed to bring out candidates for all nominations and to insure the nomina tion at the primaries of a full ticket?" Mr. Van Zantc alleged as a reason that because he was chairman of the County Central Committee, ho represented all Democrats, and could not use his political influence for or against any candidates, but the real reason alleged by his critics is that he is partial to Word and wants none other to enter the primaries. "What G. 31. Thomas Says. Tes. Mr, Thomas had heard of Mr. Van Zante's refusal. "Mr. Word's boomers think it is unfair for the clubs to appoint a committee to seek out additional candidates for Sher iff, since Mr. Word declared his candidacy first Is this contention borno out by the universal proceeding, and Is the pro ceeding of this committee irregular?" "No; "when I was a candidate one year ago for the Democratic nomination for Mayor, the clubs appointed a like com mittee, ostensibly to fill out the ticket, but really to encourage Dr. Lane to enter the primaries against me." "Do you recall the members of that committee?" "Yes; as I remember, the Multnomah Hub was represented by John Van Zantc. Thomas Greene and Mark O'Neill, and the Young Men's Club by I T. Pecry, S C. Armitagc and W. II. Grafton." Van Zante,. as now, was chairman of the County Central Committee, yet did not, as now, refuse to serve. Thomas Greene and Ix T. Pecry arc now members of Mayor Lane's Executive Board. Mark O'Neill Is a member of the committee this year, as he was last; likewise S. C. Ar mitagc. W. H. Grafton is Word's jailer. "It it was proper for a committee to undertake such a mission at that time," Mr. Thomas was asked, "do you think it proper for a like committee to. do the same thing now?" But Mr. Thomas answered not. IV. H. Grlndslafrs Refusal. W. H. Grindstaff was next on the call ing list of the committee, and the five warhorses thereof besought him to run also. But Mr. Grindstaff declined, saying that his business would not permit. Thus ended the committee's labors for the day. It could now report to the whole,1 parilla. tlon for member of the Legislature He pledges himself to vote for the peo ple's choice for United States Senator. N. H. Bird yesterday filed a petition in the County Clerk's office for the Re publican nomination for Sheriff. The petition states that lie will give an economical business administration, and a fair and square deal to every body. Bird has been a candidato before the people for the office of Sheriff three times before, as an independent labor candidate.

PROSECUTOR'S STATEMENT Defense . "Will Try to Prove That Ttassman and a Confederate Have Tried to Place Blame -on the Sailor. D. C. Kelly Is on trial for his life In Judge CI eland's court on a charge of hav ing shot and killed Thomas Flcmmlngs, an old man, on the night of December IS last, at the Centennial Hotel. 431 Sherlock street. The murder was the culmination of a robbers', and Henry Rassman. a youth, 13 years old, has confessed that he was one of the participants, and that Kelly fired the fatal shot. Rassman was arrested in Tacoma and brought back to Portland, and he will appear as a witness against Kelly. Under the statute, both. If guilty of robbery which resulted In the taking of a human life, can be hanxed, but Rassman. In view of his having agreed to testify for the state, will bo permitted to escape with a penitentiary sentence. Kelly Is 22 years old. of medium build, an-" havincr followed the sea for a living, is known as "Sailor Kelly." and because the backs of his hands are heavily tat-, tooed he Is also called "Tattoo Kelly" by acquaintances. Letters written by him show that he Is possessed of a good edu cation. During the proceedings yesterday his actions were cool and commonplace, and one could not detect the slightest emotion in his countenance. He Is of medium height and build, dark hair and mustache. He was well and neatly dressed. The jury selected to try the case Is comprised of the following-named per sons: David L. Ambler. R. D. Dcpuc, J. O. Downing. J. P. Coulter. Alex. Aitkin. A Munson. P. A. Eddy. W. G Griebcl. A. K. Watson. Edgar Allen, IL W. Park er, J. 1C. Manning. District Attorney Manning Is conducting the prosecution, assisted by his deputy, Mr. Adams. John A Jeffrey, an attorney, formerly of Ashland and Salem, appears as counsel for the defense. Mr. Adams made the opening statement to the Jury for the state- He stated that Rassman had confessed, and would testify that Kelly fired the shot which killed Flcmmlngs. Kelly wore gloves to conceal the tattoo marks on his hands. These gloves belonged to Rassman. and one fln jrer was turned back and sewed up be cause Rassman was minus a finger on one of his hands. The gloves. Mr. Adams said, were found in Kelly's room, also oth er articles, which will be used as evidence against him. Mr. Adams further stated that Kelly, aince his arrest, told an offi cer that the man who stood by the door" wore the gloves and did the shooting; which statement the attorney raid shows Kelly was present when the murder was done. The officer referred to is John F. Ker rigan, who visited Kelly at the County Jail, in response to a letter he received from him. Mr. Kerrigan still has the let ter. The remains of the cover of an um brella from which cloth wan cut to make masks will be Introduced In evidence Mr. Jeffrey, In his opening statement, declared Kelly was innocent, and said it was a conspiracy on the part of Rassman, a self-confessed murderer, and detectives. "It was time for the officers to mako a record. Somebody had to be convicted, and they got this boy, 13 years old, to come in here and tell this story." Mr. Jeffrey further asserted that Kelly was Indisposed on the night of the robbery, and retired to bed early. "The guilty man Is the witness who will appear before you and some one else, and the officers told Kelly so," counsel said. In concluding his remarks. At the time of the robbery' Flcmmlngs ran out of the barroom to the street, and struck at one of the robbers as he emerged from the place after the robbery had been completed. The robber thfn nhnt i Flcmmlngs. S. L. Rousch. who resisted In the barroom, was shot through the elbow. John Kings! ey. a laborer, and W. A. Whittcn, the bartender, testified concern ing the affair. KIngslcy said Kelly was J about the size of one of the men. and ho admitted being acquainted with Kelly. The evidence thus far has not been of a sensational character. Rassman will oc cupy the witness-stand today. Trial of Jvcrn and Scinlcr. At the trial yesterday of A. E. Kcm and Dr. Paul J. A Semlcr for attempting to extort H from Meier & Frank Co Judge George refused to allow the prose cution to call witnesses to testlfv that Kern and Semlcr liaH boon guilty of sim ilar conduct toward others. The court decided, however, that witnesses might testify that the reputation of the defend ants for truth and veracity, was bad. If such witnesses could be found. The de fendants will also be permitted to call witnesses who will testify that their rep utation Is good. Witnesses examined yesterday for the defense were: H. Locding, Otto Doehring, W. P. Keller. C. J. Schnabcl. Mias EL Mcacliam, Lulu Webb, Anna Moore and Rev. C Beuchler. The last-named scored a point for the prosecution by admitting that he was told by Julius L.
