uty without salary by Commissioner
Enright. This branch of police activ-
ity had been partly organized by Com
missioner Woods, and the police had
already done service in g,iardng the
citys bridges, water supply and other
vital points since the war started. Mr.,
Ryan has not been so widely quoted
on police matters as either Mr.. Wan
emaker or Dr. Harriss, but he has
done a great deal Of work In orpan-
izing and eQuipping his branch Of the
service, and for nearly a year he has
been In sole charge Of the guarding Of
the vital and easily destroyed points
of the city. He also had quite a hand
in the vice cleanup which the Govern.
ment inauguratod to remove tempta-
| ton from the paths OF the soldiers
and sailors.
Educated at Georgetown.
Mr.. Ryan is only So years old, and
| Is probably one Of the wealthiest
young men in the United States. His
father, Thomas Fortune Ryan, set him
up in business several years ago, after
he had taken a course at Georgetown
University and had gained consider
able business experience in various
banking and brokerage offices, and
Mr.. Ryan Immediately branched out
into many and varied lines of COM
percial and manufacturing activity.
He is a director of the Bethlehem
Steel Company, president of the Stutz
Motor Company. he promoted the
Royal Typewriter Company, and has
made many millions on his own ac-
| count.
One Of Mr.. Ryan's hobbies for years
has been aeronautics, and it is under
stood that he has given Mr.. Wanna
maker much valuable counsel and ex-
perience in the organization of the
aviation section OF the Police Reserve.
He was president Of the Aero Club Of
America in 1910 and promoted the In
ternational Aviation Tournament at
Belmont Park in 1910. Mr.. Ryan is
married and has five children, three
boys and two girls,
The reason Mr.. Ryan accepted the
post of Special Deputy Police Com
missioner was expressed by him thus
in a recent interview:
Il am in the work simply because
II feel that 1 can do some little good
In the war. Our efforts will be di-
rected to protect New York's water
front. and all other places in and about
the city where spies and plotters might
find opportunity to do mischief. In
addition we are going to look after men
in uniform who come TO this city for
recreation or to visit friends, and we
are going to work night and day to
stamp out any effort to lead these
men astray through furnishing them
with liquor or by permitting them to
meet and mingle with immoral char
acters."
| Once Loved to Speed.
Commissioner Enright's latest ac-
QUESTION to the ranks OF his millionaire
Observation-Disclosures N Guggenheim-
Is hardly known at all In comparison
with the other three members OF tho
quartet Of millionaire cops. He Is the
youngest Of any of them, being only
81 years old. He Is the son Of Murray
Guggenheim Of the American Smelling
Company. and practically the entire
"copper" output OF the United States is
controlled by his family. When he was
"a years old Mr.. Guggenheim went to
work as a laborer in the copper works
of the company in Maryland at Sc
week. although II is not recorded that
he had to pay his living expenses out
OF his wages. He did this to learn the
business from the ground up, and he
was so successful that to-day he is
vice president OF the Chile Copper
Company and OF the Braden Copper
Company, and the owner of many
millions which he made himself, thus
showing that even rich young men, IL
they are worthy and determined to
succeed, have splendid opportunities
for advancement in business.
Mr.. Guggenheim in 1910 married
Miss Marion Price. who then lived In
2 West Eighty-ninth street.
He had been arrested for speeding
many times In the few years before
he married, hut was released and all
the black marks against him on tho
police rolls marked out on his promise
never to drive a motor car in this
State again.
Mr.. Guggenheim last July enlisted
in the Motor Transport Corps and was
in an officers training school when
the war ended.
