THOMAS ]. RYAN
TAKES own LIFE
Democratic Leader in Pennsylva-
MIA Faces Death Rather
Than Meet Poverty.

PHILADELPHIA. PA Special
Thomas J. Ryan, Democratic leader
of Pennsylvania, member of the DON
nelly-Ryan-Gumey triumVirate that
for so long controlled the organiza-
ton OF that party in this State, ended
his life late Sunday afternoon in his
office in the Land Title and Trust
building by shooting himself with a
revolver. The examination of the
pistol shows that the first cartridge
did not explode and the second ball
was the one that lodged in his brain.
Ryan was hopelessly involved
financially, and from a man OF great
wealth il is understood that he had,
through unfortunate investments. be-
come practically penniless. He was
Interested in Dreamland at Coney
Island, y. Y, and lost a large fortune
when the amusement park burned
down two years ago. This season he
built another amusement resort on the
site OF the old Point Breeze race
track here, but it has not been a sue
cess, and there was a meeting sched-
uled for his office today, where his
creditors were to gather and devise
plans for a trusteeship.
Several years ago. after he had
amassed a snug fortune, Ryan began
10 invest in local traction securities.
He was intimate with the Wideners.
and the late George d. Widener gave
him the concessions at all of the parks
on the lines of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company. In many Of his
ventures he was aided financially by
the Wldeners and James J. Guffey.
