Thomas Fortuno Ryan practically has achieved what bo has been quietly trying to do for flvo years torn himself loose from Wnll street. Ho has got his multi tudinous and monumental nffnlrs In such shape that It Is no longer neces sary for him to go down town. He has been in his office in tho Mor ton Trust, Compnny only two or three times slnco last summer. Formerly ho got thero early In tho day and fre quently stayed until seven and eight o'clock nt night, only to ride up town with Ills lnwyers, and, after a hurried dinner, work with them until mid night. Fourteen, sixteen and eighteen hours ware often his dally allotment of work. Now ho raroly puts In more than two hours and that In tho quiet of his library at CO Fifth avenue. Mr. Ryan has not engaged In n sin gle stock speculation in nearly three years; formerly ho was one of the most potent factors In making prices on tho stock exchange Ho still lioltld Wife He!ps Morse MRS. CHARLES W. MORSE is cling ing loyally to her husband, tho New York banker convicted of fraud in connection with tho National Rank of North America, and is making many personal sacrifices to aid him In bis fight to keop from going to prison. She has sold tho most of her jowels and works of art, as well as a great part of tho rich furnishings of her splendid home, to raise tho money necessary to prosecute her husband's appeal. It Is now said sho will sell her home, which is In her own name, for the samo pur pose. Morse, who Is confined In tho Tombs ponding an appeal of his case, now charges that he Is a victim of tho "big etlck" nnd that bo has been persecuted by secret service men working tinder United StntC3 District Attornoy Stim son. Morso has complained to Mnrtin W. Littleton, his counsel, that secret scrvlco agents hnvo even been plnced in n coll close to his that they might spy upon him. Monster Suspension Bridge Is Next 7 y-- - s WITH four gigantic bridges over tho East river, New York, represent ing n total cost of JGO.OOO.OOO, nmong his possessions, Fnther Knickerbocker soon will undertake tho construction of another bridge of tho suspension typo which, whon It Is finished about ten years from now, will bo tho largest of Its kind on earth. Tho plans aro completed and approved and nil that remains to bo done before work on tho structure which will span tho Hudson river begins 13 formal ratifica tion by tho legislatures of tho two states which It will connect Now Yoik nnd Now Jersey of tho $21,000, 000 appropriation necessary for Its construction. Tho length of this now monster will be 7,400 feet, or nearly a mllo nnd n half. This will ninko It moro than four hundivd feet longer than the fa organ Gets Relic of Washington IT transpires that nt tho samo tlmo that J. Plorpont Morgan purchased the Grecnwell collection of prehistoric wenpons, which ho bns Just; presented to tbo British museum, ho became tho ow'.er of n Wnshlngton family docu ment which It Is believed, in New York, tho financier will present to some American museum. Tho document is a deed 533 years old relating to tho snlo of land by William D. Wesslngton, which Is an old form of tho tho namo of Washing 'ton. Tho document was drafted In 137C In tho County of Durham, whero Georgo Washington's nncestors aro known to havo lived for a tlmo. IK ls uicniborBiup In tlmt body, but merely as n mutter of sentiment.

Harrlman, who alt-o wants to cut down his business responsibilities, but has been unable to let go. Mr. Ryan has dropped out of tho directorates of mnny corporations and now only re mains In eight, all but two of them, being banku nnd trust companies. The two lie remains In nro tho American Tobacco Company and tho Continental Rubber Company of America. His son, Allan, has taken his place In tho Uethlehem Steel Company nnd several other corporations In which he holds heavy Interests. Ho bns to other sons, Clcndcnnlng and .7ohn, who nro also sharing the burdens tho colossal wealth of their father has brought on tho family. Tho virtual retirement of Mr. Ryan makes it certain, in tho opinion of close friends, that he will not bo a bidder when the Metropolitan Street Hallway Compnny Is sold at auction .luno 1 next, pursuant to tho recent or der of .ludgo I.ncombe of tho United States circuit t-ourt. What notion tho interborough Rapid Transit Company will take as a corporation In the mut ter has not been decided. in Fight on Prison While Mr. Littleton would not dis cuss tho matter, It was learned thnt about six weeks ugo a "prisoner" was admitted to a cell on tho federal tier In tho Tombs nnd that ho was given no hearing before tho United States commissioner, although ho was sup posed to bo charged with postal frauds. Warden Flynn placed a stool pigeon In tho man's cell. Tho man played cards with tho "prisoner" und got his name and address. These were ficti tious, and the man disappeared. Morso made the charges In a signed Interview. "I am tho victim of tho 'big stick,' " he declared. "Hut for the activity of President Roosevelt I would not now bo behind the bars of u prison. It hns been by his personal activity In this case that I have been prosecuted, or, more appropriately, persecuted. United States District Attorney Stirason, by his own statement, has remained in of fice for tho past six montiis at tho re quest of Roosevelt to prosecute me." The former banker went on to sny that after Mr. Stlmson had been put on his trail a dozen secret-service men wore assigned to exnmlno evoryono who bad dealt with him In tho previ ous flvo years, In the hope of obtain ing cvldonco upon which to baso an in. dlctment. mous Williamsburg bridge over tho East river, now tho longest suspen sion bridge. In addition to being tho world's largest suspension structure, It will bo tho most expensive. Tho famous Hrooklyn bridge, which is G.01C feet long, cost $20,000,000, but thnt was be foro the real days of steel. Had the new bridge been constructed then It would havo cost, It Is estimated, at least $50,000,000. Tho cost of tho Williamsburg brldgo was $12,000,000, and Its length is 7.27C feet. Tho Manhattan brldgo, on which work was bpgun In 1001, nnd which Is not yot completed, will havo n total length of G.8G4 feet nnd will cost ?1C 000,000, while the news Quoensborough or niackwell's Island bridge, which has Just been completed, cost $12,000, 000 nnd Is 7.1 19 foot long. It Is of tho cantilever typo nnd tho second Inrgest of Its kind In the world.
