DEAD FINANCIER
HAD MORE THAN
PAYNE WHITNEY
Thomas F. Ryan's Estate Esti-
mated from $50 to 500 Mil
lion Dollars

New York, Nov. 24.-(R-Thomas
Fortune Ryan, who died here yester-
day at the age of n, was rated as
one of the greatest financiers in
this country.
Few men had more extensive and
varied interests than the man who
rose from poverty and died one of
the richest men in the world. Es-
Inmates of his wealth vary from
500, 10000 to $50O,OO0,OOO. The
more conservative guesses in the
financial district place his fortune
around $250,O0O,0OO. This would be
greater than the wealth of the late
Payne Whitney, whose estate Of
$194, ,O0O,O 900, appraised this week,
was the largest ever recorded in this
city, a center of world wealth.
In tobacco, traction, railways,
mining and rubber Mr.. Ryan was
a dominant figure until 1908, when
he retired from 35 corporations Of
which he was director.
He was stricken on Wednesday
with inflammation Of the gall blad-
der. His age prevented an opera
tion, and death occurred yesterday
afternoon, with rs of his children
and grandchildren at his bedside in
his Fifth avenue home. His son,
Allan A. Ryan, from whom he was
estranged, is in France, but Allan's
wife and their six children were
present.
A solemn high mass of requiem
will be held Monday morning in the
church Of St. Jean Baptiste. The
body will be placed in q vault in
Calvary cemetery here until it is de-
cided where burial will take place.

over on the bridge was reputed to be
big and often.
But yesterday it was . far dif-
ferent man who faced the Judge in
Kings county court. A pudgy, gray
haired man with tear-dimmed eyes
heard an assistant district attorney
declare him q menace to society"
and urge that he be sent to jail for
life. He had been arrested for pass
ing bogus check. and % it was his
fifth offense q life sentence under
the Baumes law is compulsory. He

FIVE DAY WEEK
POSSIBLE, SAYS
WILLIAM GREEN
Called Necessary Accompani-
ment of Increasing Use of
Machines

New Orleans, Nov. 24.-(AP)-Ir
a formal statement issued today
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor. de-
clared that the five day week is
both practical and possible"
The statement said the five day
week is a necessary accompani-
ment of increasing use of machines
and mechanical power" and declared
that substantial progress" toward
its adoption had been made during
the past two years.
1.-TWO major trends for which la
Dor is responsible for watching" he
said, "are: That hours of work be
increasingly shortened in order that
mechanical progress may raise
standards of human welfare and
that wage increases shall correspond
to increasing productivity.
This latter purpose is both q
measure of economic justice and q
provision necessary to provide busi-
ness with enough buyers for the in
creased output of industries"
Mr.. Green said that 514 local
unions report that their 165, ,O29
members are now working a five
day 40 hour week.
"These striking gains, made al.
most entirely since the federation
first announced it's five day week
policy at the Detroit convention two
years ago, .,rove that the establish
ment of the five day week is both
practical and possible" he said.
Committee meetings furnished the
only activity of the annual conven-
tion of the federation today. The
convention recessed yesterday until
Monday after receiving reports from
all committees whose work has been
completed.

into the portfolios of his sitting
room. Overhearing an attache say
ing "This is terrible" Mr.. Hoover
smiled and replied:
"Oh, I've seen worse"
A swab welded by a member of

Nov. 24.-(AP)-President elect
Herbert Hoover today began putting
the finishing touches on the first two
speeches of his Latin American good
will tour. He will deliver them Sun
day at Amapala, Honduras, and La
Union, Salvador.
Each address is about 500 words
long, requiring only five minutes for
delivery. Since the president-elect's
Spanish is limited, he says, to about
the names of California towns, the
address will be repeated by an inter-
prefer, who also will have to trans
late to Hoover the address of well
come by the officials of Honduras
and Salvador.
These speeches are expected to re-
fleet the philosophy which led Hoov-
er to decide on this unprecedented
mission. This philosophy is known
to be one of mutual aid between the
American Republics through better
understandings and exchange Of cul-
ture, science and education.
The Hoover party enjoyed . con-
cert by the ships band last night
and also attended movies for the
third night in succession.
