BRIDGE WORKERS STRIKE
There is Danger That It Will Break
 Out Afresh.

Pueblo. Colo. May 26.-Two days Of attempted arbitration of the strike of the bridge men doing structural work at the Colorado Fuel and Iron com pany's works have failed and their na- tional president, Frank Buchanan, left this evening for New York. The strike here was not included in the reported general adjustment made with the structural workers in the east two weeks ago, and the big steel works buildings, partly erected by the con tractors, still stands idle.
 President Buchanan, on leaving, strongly intimated that the 175,000 members of the Bridge and Structural Mems union in the whole country may be called out in support of the strikers here. who number some 200. Speaking of the action of the contractors who are attempting to build these mills for the fuel company, he said:,

RYAN'S DISCLOSURE
How lie Was Shaken
 Down. by P.O. Officials
He Was Asked to Furnish More Trimmings" for the Job Which Had Been Instituted in
 His Behalf.

Cincinnati, O., May 26.-John J. By an, whose confessions caused the ar rest of D. V. Miller and Joseph F. Johns in connection with the postal frauds, operated his get rich quick" turf investment concern from here and from St. Louis and ran winter races at Newport, Ky. Other warrants have been issued as a result of the invest- gation of Postoffice Inspectors w. J. Vickery of Cincinnati and R. NJ. Fulton of St. Louis.
 Ryan is here now and admits that he operated some time at St. Louis be- fore the inspectors got after him and later he was called to Washington. Ryan said: "I heard that others doing business like mine stood in with the postoffice department by giving up $25.- GOO, and I felt that those who were standing in with the department were behind the investigation so as to get me out of their way"
 After returning from Washington to St. Louis last November, Ryan says he got a telegram from Attorney Johns of Rockville, Indiana, that Johns could be of service to him with the department at Washington, and later Ryan and JO4lHS met III f1dule an says Johns explained how close he was to Miller and how Miller had ac- cepted a $2.O00 job in the postoffice de- partment at Washington with the idea that the job had certain trimmings" |" such as, Ryan says, Johns explained Ryan would be able to furnish.
 Ryan declares that Johns asked 5,000 to get from Miller a letter from the at torney generals office. showing that Ryan was entitled to use the mails. Af- ter a little dickering, Ryan says, Johns came down to S2.500 and the proposition was accepted. The proposition to pay s2.000 for literature so worded that it would pass muster if it was ever taken up in the mails was later accepted.
 Ryan asserts that Johns delivered the letter and literature to him December 16. Ryan says he gave Johns SLIGO cash and checks dated December r, one for &, 900 and one for 400.
 Then, Ryan says, everything went along smoothly until the trouble of February 9. A week later a fraud or der was issued against Ryan. and Ky an says an effort for another shake down was put on foot. but he would not stand for it. He says he received more telegrams from Johns. Ryan says he preserved all the telegrams and let ters.
