"Mr Manning has abandoned his in
tention OF marrying" said woman
who called herself member of his
family. "He became so Disguised with
the publicity that has been given TO
the affair that he called IT of.
Did the opposition Of his relatives
influence him ," she was asked.
"Oh. no." she said. "Of course. we
talked TO him quite little about it, but
he did it himself"
But does Miss O'Bricn get the half
million"
"Of course not. That was mere talk.
Mr.. Manning said that he had intended
10 make some sort of settlement. but
he never intended it to be so large"
Then the romance is all of - it was

FOR PROHIBITION
Friends, Thinking Move
Political, Await Gov
ernOr's Message

Governor Whitman has announced
him self as "in accord with the general
temperance movement" and his friends
and others are eagerly awaiting his an
nual message TO the Legislature on
January 3 to find out what prohibition
measure he will favor. He made his
position known at dinner conference
in Washington on Saturday night, when
he discussed party questions with Re-
publican Representatives from upstate
districts.
No comment on his action could be
obtained from the Governor last night
Asked what sort OF legislation on the
liquor question would be recommended
in his message, he replied that he had
not decided what ne would say to the
Legislature.
"The sentiment in support OF prohi
bition is increasing throughout the
country. and ! am in accord with the
general temperance movement the
Governor told a friend in Washington.
"The sentiment is meeting more and
more with the approval OF the intelll-
gent sections of communities IN TINS
state and throughout the nation"
Several temperance measures Will be
before the Legislature at its next ses-
sion. There are the annual bill pro-
viding for statewide referendum on
the suppression of the manufacture Of
liquor and the traffic in it, the local
option bill providing for referendum
by towns, cities and counties and the
optional prohibition remonstrance
bill"
The last brings the question down
