 Today is February 2, That means lit is Ground Hog day According ia popular supeTslilians and lime hoRoFed traditions the ground hog, one day each year, usually the first day following February l, assumes the nature of weather prophet, He IS not by nature a pFognostieatof, but becomes So by accident,
 When his underground calendar tells him il is the second day Of the month which first saw The birth Of Washington, the ground hog, who has been hibernatiRg all winter, wakes np. shakes himself a few times and de- eides he is hungry. There is only one thing for animals, human or oth- erwise to do to allay the bangs Of hunger. and the ground hog does it- he starts out to ind something to eat.
 This is where the trouble occurs. If it is a bright sunshinny day, he be- comes frightened at his shadow and goes back to his winter home for six weeks. That Is just what happened this morning. Mir. Ground Hog came out fofaging for food. He was play ing around on the snow. trying to find something 10 relieve the pangs of the inner hog, when the sun burst forth in its most brilliant manner in weeks Immediately NJ. Ground Hog saw he was being followed. He was not ac- customed to company and his flesh crept in fear as he imagined visions Of a wolf or mayhap farmers dog.
 With one terrifying leap, flip Of his tall and a furry of snow on the ground, he dived back into his sub terranean domocile, where he imme- diately curled up in safety and went back to sleep.
 Thus the wintry winds will continue to blow. The snow flakes will fall again. More icices will form on the caves and slippery sidewalks will be with us for another six weeks. Coal men will be besieged as they now are with orders for anything we can get" and the furnaces will continue to eat up the anthracite as voraciously as ever.

NO HERESY TRIAL IS TO
 BE HELD FOR DR. GRANT
Bishop Manning Says That lie i' Willing ta Let Matter Rest
 Tor Present,

New York. Feb. s.-Rey, pr Percy stiekney Grant will not he tried for heresy because Of recent sermons before his pastorate in the Protestant Episcopal church of the Ascension, he was informed last night in a letter from Bishop William T, Manning,
 The bishop, who had requested Rev, Dr. Grant to ''reeant or res sign" because Of his professed doubt of the deity of Christ, said he would let the matter rent for the present, because the pastor, replying io the request. had not made clear whether he really doubted christ's deity or not.
 You are not brought to trial because your letter in response to mine is vague and ambiguous, in- stead of clear and explicit" the bishop wrote.
 You have. by your niterances. caused grave doubt in the mind of the church at large as 10 your be- lief in the deity Of our Lord Jesus Christ. You have been given an op- portunity to remove this doubt, but you have not done so, You have made your reIly to me words that fail to make clear your belief in this essential truth"
 Of the threatened heresy trial Bishop Manning said:
 Even though the faith of the churcl, may virtually be denied and doubt cast upon her most essen- tial belief. a court ought to be con- vened only when this denial is in terms that are clear and free from ambiguity"

WATER PLANT
QUESTION UP
HERE TONIGHT
Judge Flannery, Head of Com
pany, Arrives From St.
Paul to Meet Commission


Judge George P. Flannery of St.
Paul, president of the Bismarck Wa
ter Supply Company, Pierce Butler,
st. Paul attorney, and R. c.. Flan-
merry of Minneapolis arrived here at
noon to meet the members of the
Bismarck city commission on the
waterworks question.
No comments were forthcoming in
advance of the meeting between the
parties. The city commission had
adjourned Monday night until 2
o'clock this afternoon, but the meet
ing was further postponed, and it
was expected that Judge Tlannery
would meet the commission tonight.
During the afternoon the water coh1-
pany representatives discussed vari-
GUS phases of the business, and
Judge Flannery met number of old
friends.
The city commission and Mr.. Flan-
merry had agreed last summer that
the city would purchase the plant Of
the Bismarck Water Supply Com
pany for $265, 900, taking possession
on September 9, but the deal was not
contaminated owing, to delays in
completion of arrangements with
financial houses. Both parties, it is
understood, desire to reach an agree
ment, but there may be a number of
questions which have arisen since
the first agreement was made that
will have to be settled.

PREDICT BIG
"a BUSINESS
Executives Approve Billion
and a Half Dollar Expan-
sion Program for Year
BREAKS ALL RECORDS
New Locomotives, Cars and
Equipment to be Bought
BY the Railroads
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Nov. 8.-Forecasting for
1924 another period Of such record
breaking trade traffic as the United
States has experienced in the year
just passing two national organiza-
tions of executives of the foremost
railroads today adopted an ambitious
program of financial and physical
expansion for the next IL months.
The program, drawn by the board
Of directors of the American Railway
association, representing 240 roads,
was approved by the full member
ship and later by heads Of the 1874
class one roads which comprise the
association Of railway executives.
1t contemplates the aggregate ex-
penditure, exclusive of what appro-
priations may be contained in the
1924 budget of $243,sO4,O 900 already
authorized for new locomotives, cars
and, equipment. This would bring
total capital expenditures of class
one roads since 1922 to $1,732,516,-
600, high precedent in the history
of American transportation for any
similar period.
Although the program did not
specify the total capital expenditures
for 1924 that might be written in
the budgets of individual roads it
expressed complete satisfaction with
results of the billion and a half dol
lar plan of expansion embarked on
last spring.

WALTON FAILS
IN APPEAL TO
FEDERALC0URT'
Judge Holds He Lacks Juris-
dictiOn and Governor Must
Go on Trial
enters HIS PLEA

Oklahoma City, Nov. 8.-(By
the Associated Press)-Governor
j. C. Walton went to trial at
1880 p. m. today before the SEN
ate to answer % impeachment
charges all involving wilful neg
lect Of duty, moral turpitude and
misuse of office.
Oklahoma City, Nov. 8.-Denied
federal intervention by which he at
tempted to halt impeachment NO
ceedings Governor j. c. Walton will
go to trial before the senate court
of Impeachment on 22 charges of
official misconduct.
The Governor is determined to
make another bid for government
mediation on the ground that he
will not be given a fair trial before
the state legislature conspired be-
forehand with the Ku Klux Klan to
remove him from office but his op-
ponent in the action considered it un-
likely that it will meet with any
more successes than the first at
tempt. On this assumption it was
predicted that the impeachment hear
ing will be long-drawn out, possibly
lasting month or more, since the
Governors lawyers say they will in
sist the court hear evidence on all
the charges before voting on the ver-
dict.
Conviction on one of the impeach-
ment articles would automatically
him from office.
u. s. District Judge Cotteral in
federal court at Lawton late
yesterday refused to grant
the Governors application for
an injunction to restrain the legis-
lature from proceeding with the
trial, holding the court had no jur-
isdiction in the case. The court, how
ever, left the way open for another
ruling on the petition when it grant
ed the Governor new hearing at q
date yet to be set. An appeal to the
U. S.tsupreme court will be taken if
the action is finally denied. the ex-
ecutive's counsel indicated.
While the proceedings were being
held at Lawton, the Governor appear
ed here through his counsel and en-
tered plea of not guilty, at the
same time making sweeping denial
of all impeachment charges.
