Financier Leaves Directorate of All But Three, Assigning Physicians Orders as
 the Cause.
TOBACCO MAIN INTEREST
Continues Policy, Begun Two Years Ago, of Unloading Responsibili- ties; "AbsoIutcly Nothing
 More to It." He Says.

New York, Dec 2S,-Thomas r. Ryan admittedly one of the greatest powers In the financial world, announced today that yielding to the advise of his phy- sicians, he has resigned from tho di- rectorate of 3l different corporations. The only enterprises in the manage ment of which the noted flnancier re- talns G hand are the Morton Trust company, the National Bank of Com merce and tho American Tobacco com pany. Mir Ryans action in withdraw Ing from the directorate of the many industrial and transportation compa- nles in which ho has been long a pre- dominant factor, Is taken in pursuance of a policy of retirement at first adopt ed two years ago At that time he was told by his physicians that the null tipllcity of cares devolving upon him from his active management of so many financial organizations, some of which, such as the Equitable Life As- surance society and the Interborough- Metropolitan Street Railway system of New York, were more than sufficient in themselves to tax the endurance of any one ipdlvlduel, was rapidly undermn- ing his health.
 After busy career of 40 years, most of which had been spent in mapping out and carrying to successful issues consultations of street railway and lighting interests of gigantic magnl- tude, MT Ryan feels that he can un- burden himself of his many business responsibilities and devote the remain Ing years of his life to compara<ve leisure.
 In speaking of his action Mir Ryan said today:
 This step has been taken after long and mature delbcration, There is no significance to 1t other than that my doctors told me I ought to let up They first advised mo to unload some of my responsibilities two years ago and since then l have gradually withdrawn from the drectorates of 3i corpora tions. My recent resignations are but lthe continuance of the policy adopted two years ago, of unloading business responsibilities as rapidly as l can in ! justice 10 the interests involved, There Is absolutely nothing more to It than | that"
 Among the corporations from the di- rectorate of which Mir Ryan has re- signed are the Commercial Trust com. pany of Philadelphia; the Contlnenta
 Rubber company of Amcrlca the In dustrlal Trust company of Providence
