The fee at, White Bear lake is in fine
condition and was covered yesterday with
ice boats and skaters. Tbs. dee boating
was especially fine and two or three
dozen of f1iers were on the lake.
There is a good deal of ice along the
river bottoms and many spent the day
gliding about there. Down on the flats
the children had an especially fine time.
Few of them own skates, but they can
all slide, and tin pans and boards were
also pressed into service to furnish more
means of locomotion.
The small lakes in the parks In the
outskirts of the city, and the dozens of
ponds about town were all well frozen
over and all offered good skating.
Hockey Players Get Ready.
With the advent of the skating season
the lovers of winter sports have already
commenced preparations for their inning.
The hockey players of the city have al
ready organized their teams and they
will strive with the one purpose this year
of developing a team which will take
away the United States championship
from Houghton. Mich, which won it from
PittSburg last winter. The st. Paul team
had its hands fairly on the prize last year,
when an injury to one of the best players
dashed the teams hopes and it lost by
a score of to 4.
The City Hockey league will probably
be re-organized in few days and contain
nearly all the teams which played last
year, and perhaps one or two more. All
the clubs will be strengthened by new
men and some crack aggregatiOns are
expected to be turned out before the
season closes

A PRIMARY BILL
AS A COMPROMISE
Electoral Boards to Choose
Judges from Lists Fur
nished by Parties,

The compromise measure agreed upon
by the subcommittee of the Senate and
House as a substitute for the Barksdalo
primary elections bill was yesterday
ravorably reported by the Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections. The
bill, as reported. Is essentially and al
most In every detail the same measure Of
fered by tho Halifax Senator. 1t Is
supplementary to the pure elections bill,
but provides also for n general prl-
mary plan, the feature OF which Is that
all the expenses of such primary are to
be borne by the State, district or coun-
sty and the returns are to 10 canvass
ed and filed Just as in regular elections,
The judges are to be selected by the
Electoral Boards from lists furnished
them by the several members OF the com-
mittees of the parties or factions. This
solution of the matter is regarded as the
best that could be devised. and comes
nearest to satisfying all parties. Under
the plan the judges are to be chosen
by the boards from these lists furnished
them.
The plan, If adopted. will restore the
old State district and county conventions
for the nomination Of candidates. Dele
gates 10 such conventions are to be
chosen by primary, however. !, herever
more than one county is Interested In a
nomination. n convention Is required by
the plan. Delegates may be selected by
precincts or magsterial districts. Tho
elections are to be held on the same day
to choose delegates to State or district
conventions.

MAY ACQUIRE
TRlCG SHIPYARD
United States Shipbuilding
Company Said to Be
After it Now.

While local officials Of the William r.
Trigg Company decline to talk at this
time as to their plans and the efforts
making to resist the petition the purpose
of which Is to have the company declared
bankrupt, there are good reasons for
the belief that the visit of Messrs. Myers,
Boyd and Leake to New York. was with
a view to making one more effort to
hasten the movement looking to reor-
ganization of the company. These gentle
MEN returned to the city yesterday, but
stated that they had nothing for publ
cation ut this time.
A special to The Times-Dispatch from
New York. however, conveys the infor-
nation that the United States Ship-build-
ing Company officials are considering ten
tatively a proposition to reorganiZe the
plant. This statement is regarded as dis
closing the purpose of the visit of the
receiver attorney and one OF the second
mortgage bondhoders to New York. Here
Is the telegram referred to:
Interests prominent in the United
States Ship-buildng Company are said
to have under tentative consideration
proposition to reorganize the Trigg Ship
building Company of Richmond, Va.
Local officers OF the United States
Ship-building Company state that II the
matter of reorganization Is being con-
sidered. 1t has not reached a stage where
they have knowledge Of IT.
The following telegram from The
Times Dispatches Washington correspon-
dent sets at rest the rumor as to the
claim Of the creditors to the unfinished
boats as assets of the company:
The Navy Department will give the
Trigg Company until the first Of May to
decide what will be done with the cruiser
Galveston and other government work
under construction at the yards when
the company ceased operations. 1t Is the
wish of the department to give the COM
pany all the time possible In which to
effect reorganization and get to work
again, but 1t will not wait indefinitely and
should there be no indication Of an early
resumption of work. the department will
advertise for bids for completion Of the
vessels and charge the amount OF the
successful bid to the primary contrac-
tors.
It was stated at the department to-.
day that work on the Galveston was fif-
teen-twentieths completed. This portion
OF the total cost has been paid. less ten
per cant. reserve, Therefore. there should
be no question as to ownership of the
vessel, and the department. has no fear
she will be seized by Trigg creditors as
an asset OF the company.

ningham's hands went up, but had
scarcely reached the level Of his head

Sheriff Rains hands went UP as
promptly as had Cunningham's. Rainn
was then relieved Of his gun, watch
and "a in money by Cunningham while
his partner kept his gun leveled on the
officer. IA II M y..s
The two bandits then marched Rains
to the train and, after putting him on,
returned his revolver to him, saying
that he might keep II, as Il was too
small for their business, As soon as
the train pulled out they again en-
tered the depot, held upthe agent and
robbed the till Of what money II con-
tanned The two men then coolly
