THOMAS ]. RYAN ENDS LIFE
Well Known Democratic Leader in
Philadelphia Shoots Self
With Revolver.

Philadelphia, Oct. Thomas J.
Ryan, Democratic leader Of Philadel-
phia, member OF the Donnelly-Ryan-
Guffey triumvirate that for so long
controlled the organization of that
party, ended his life 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 bullet was the one that
lodged in his brain.
Ryan was hopelessly involved finan-
cially and from a man of great wealth,
1t is understood, though a man of
great investments, was practically
p~enniless. He was heavily interested
in Dreamland at Coney island and
lost a large fortune when the amuse-
ment park burned down two years
ago.
In many Of his ventures he was aid
ed financially by George D. Widen
or and Nj. Guffey.
