SAW MANNING HOLD
 HANDS WITH SISTER
0'Brien Testihes in Breach of Promise Suit for Million

New York. Juno 16.-Justice Crop sey in the Queens county supreme court held both q day and night ses- sion yesterday in an effort to bring to a conclusion the trial of the suit of Miss Honora May O'Brien, 2S years old, against John B. Manning, the 84-year-old Wall Street broker, for $1,O0O,O0O for his failure to marry her.
 Mrs. Margaret Cohalan, wife of Justice Daniel F. Cohalan of the New York county supreme court, was the first witness of the day. She proved a good witness for Miss O'Brien. not withstanding the fact that she said she was related to both Miss O'Brien and Manning. Miss O'Brien is a second cousin of Mrs. Cohalan on = her mothers side. while MT. Manning is q second cousin on her fathers side. She testified that about last Thanks giving Day Mir. Manning telephoned to her and asked the house address of Miss O'Brien and that as soon as she could get it she gave it to MT. Manning's secretary.
 James O'Brien, brother of the plaintiff. was on the stand for more than three hours. He strengthened his sisters case materially on the direct examination, but under Martin w. Littleton's cross-examination he for the first time admitted that he had gone to lawyers office on the day following MT, Manning's alleged proposal to his sister and sought ad- vice concerning the drawing up of a prenuptiAl agreement for the settle ment of money on his sister.
 MT. O'Brien testified that the pro- posal of marriage to his sister was made on the night of December 13, when he and his sister had been in- vited to Mannihg's house for dinner.
 T was called into the library tes- tifed MT. O'Brfen, ''and there found Manning holding my sisters hand. He said that he had asked May to marry him and she wanted to consult me about 1t. I told him that his family might object. He replied that he did not care if they did object He was a rich man, and one of his sons was . millionaire, and he could pro- vide for all of his family as we'll as for my sister. T then told her that I did not care what she did, as she was the most concerned" MT. O'Brien said that there was much commotion in the Manning house when the family learned that Mir. Manning was to get married.

new government appears to be gain ing control over the situation. Russia has ceftainly been badly crippled by the intrigue and demoralization ac- companying the revolution; but there is still reason to hope that the new government will establish itself, and that in due season the Russian armies will be once more fighting for liberty which incidentally, she gained for herself when least expected. It Is in- conceivable that she will imperil that liberty by repudiating her agreement with the Allies, who are lighting for what Russia of all nations Is most concerned in preserving.
 The stock market Is of course en- tirely dominated by war conditions. and activity is chiefly confined to re- curities affected by it's prosecution and outcome. Steel is the most essential material of all in war; hence the marvellous activity and unhsard of profits in this industry. Naturally the steel issues led the market. U. s. Steel touched its highest point, and -is re- puted to be making nearly 100 per cent in net earnings. At present the company is paying out at rate of IT per cent, having declared an extra divident of per cent. which the man. agement suggested should be contri- buted for Red Cross purposes. Other large corporations which are making abnormal profits are taking . similar course, and for the time being the Red Cross'' group promise to be mar ket leaders. Industrials not affected by the war are comparatively neglect ed. Railroad shares maintain their position because of immense traffic and very large gross earnings. Man. agers and stockholders alike anxious ly await decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission, who may or may not grant the application for a 15 per cent advance in rates, which will hardly offset the heavy increase of expenses from the rise in materials and labor.
