HE RESIGNS JULY 1
Morton Will Be Succeeded by
C. J. Bonaparte.
WILL BUILD SUBWAY LINES
Secretary of Navy Confirms the An-1
nouncement of Retirement From
Cabinet Will Become a
Partner of Ryan.
WASHINGTON. May 2L President
Roosevelt today authorized the announce
ment that Charles J. Bonaparte, of Balti
more, would be appointed Secretary of
the Navy, to succeed Paul Morton, who
earlier in the day stated that he would
retire July 1, to go to New York to take
charge of the plana for the construction
of a cubway system for operation In con
nection with the surface lines.
The President also authorised the state
ment that no other change in the per
sonnel of the Cabinet was likely to take
place In the near future Secretary Shaw
has already Indicated his Intention of re
tiring from 'the Cabinet probably next
February. Rumors of the retirement of
Attorney-General Moody have- been pub
lished, but It Is understood to be his in-,
tenticn now to continue in the Cabinet
for a year and a halt and perhaps longer.
Appointment Is Surprise.
To all except the President's closest
advisers the announcement of the selec
tion of Mr. Bonaparte as th'e. head of the
Navy came as a distinct surprise, al
though it had been determined on by
the President for some time, in anticipa
tion of Mr. Morton's retirement. In all
the gossip Mr. Bonaparte has not been
suggested. For many years he has been
an Intimate friend of the President. So
great Is Mr. JRoosevelt's confidence In
him that on many matters of National
concern he has sought his advice. To de
termine accurately the legal phases of
the postal frauds the President desig
nated Mr. Bonaparte and Holmes Con
rad to Investigate the subject and on
their report he took decisive action with
out hesitation. Eminent as a lawyer and
as a publicist and a consistent advocate
of cMl service reform, Mr. Bonaparte
has not been supposed to have more than
an academic Interest in the Navy. In
the upbuilding of the Navy, however, he
Is known to be in perfect accord with
the President and doubtless will carry
into effect the views of Mr. Roosevelt.
Morton Will Build Subways.
Mr. Morton's announcement of his ex
pected retirement followed a conference
with the President lasting about an hour.
It has been stated with authority that
Mr. Morton would retire July 1 provided,
the President would accept his resigna
tion from that date, and today's state
ment therefore officially confirms what
has been known for several weeks. When
he Tetitt-s, he will have rounded out ex
actly one year of Cabinet life. He suc
ceeded " William H., Moody or Massach
usetts, who became Attorney-General.
Secretary Morton gave out the following
statement: "Paul Morton announces that he will
retire from the Cabinet on July 1.
1905. He will go to New York to live
and will become associated with Mr.
Thomas F. Ryan. It Is understood that
Mr. Morton will at once take active
charge of the plans for the construction
of the proposed comprehensive system of
underground rapid transit lines in New
York City for operation In connection
with the existing surface lines."
Mr. Ryan is a well-known capitalist
of New York, who has control of a large
portion of the surface street-car lines of
the city and. proposes to construct a
large subway system. He was one of the
supporters of Judge Parker In the last
Presidential campaign and was a delegate
from Virginia to the St. Louis conven
tion, as he has a home in that slate.
"Will Build Competing Subways.
NEW YORK, May 3L The surface lines
in this city are operated by the Metropol
itan Stcet Railway Company, which Is
controlled by the estate of the late Will
iam C Whitney and his associates. This
company plans to build an extensive sub
way system In competition with the In
terborough Rapid Transit Company,
which operates the existing subway and
the Manhattan elevated lineB.

vowed she should not setter foot on
French territory. Nevertheless Jerome
took her to Europe, but she was pre
vented from landing. He went to Paris
to plead with Napoleon, while she sought
refuge In England. A few days after
"her arrival, her son, Jerome Napoleon
Bonaparte, was born. Although the
Pope refused to dissolve the marriage,
the French Council of State did so at
Napoleon's dictation. Her son. however,
waa declared legitimate by the Council
of State under Napoleon III.

Baltimore, though ho never became an
American citizen and remained Intimate
with his father and the French court.

Civic Federation, of the Board of Indian
Commissioners and a leader in thet Na
tional Civil Service Reform League. He

Investigate the postal frauds and the
work of the Dawes Indian Commission,
and Is regarded as a citizen of high In
tegrity and ability.
After the marriage of his grandmother
to Jerome Bonaparte was anuulled by
the French Council of State, the latter
married Catherine Frcderlca, Princess of
Wuerlemberg. by whom he had three
sons. The survivor of those was Prince
Napoleon, the dynastic claimant to the
French throne, known as "Plon-plon.
His on. Prince Victor, baa inherited his
claim.

Lorenz Gives State's Evidence
on Postal Frauds.
TELLS THE STORY IN COURT
Two Days Spent In Conference on
Division of Spoils Gained From
Contract for Ietter-Car-rlers'
Satchels.
WASHINGTON, May SL George E. Lo
renz. of Toledo. O.. who was convicted
with Aug. W. Machen and Samuel and
Dilior B. Groff on charges of conspiracy
to defraud the Government In connection
with contracts for furnishing supplies for
Ihe Fostoftice Department, today turned
state's evidence in the trial of William
G. Crawford, who Is charged with con
spiracy. i Machen and Lorenz were Indicted Joint
ly with Crawford. Too former pleaded
guilty, and was sentenced to an additional
two years in the penitentiary and Lorenz
was granted a severance for trial. It Is
generally credited that Lorenz is testifying
for the Government under an agreement
that he shall not be prosecuted under In
dictments pending against him.
Tells Whole Story or Scheme.
Lorenz did not spare himself In the
testimony. He declared that an agree
ment had been formed by himself,
Machen and Crawford to get contracts
to furnish letter-carriers' satchels to the
Postoffice Department and that they had
Shared In the profits. The contracts
were gained by reason of Machen's con
nection with the supply division of the
Postoffice Department and were filled
by Crawford, who was the general man
ager for the Postal Device & Lock Com
pany, of New York. According to Lorenz,
be was the go-between, although there
were meetings of the three at the rooms
of Lorenz when he was staying at a ho
tel In this city In the early part of June
1K2.
The courtroom was crowded when Lo
renz took the stand. For several days
It had been rumored that he would tell
all he knew of the contracts made with
the Government by the company of which
Crawford was manager, and by so doing
would escape further prosecution.-, al
though this was denied at the office
of the District Attorney.
The preliminary examination was In
relation to Lorenz' acquaintance with
Machen. The witness said he had known
Machen since 1SSS and they had been In
timate ever since. Lorenz said he had
seen Crawford in Machen's office, but
met him first In Crawford's office la
Washington, where they discussed the
details of an agreement to put in bids
for postal supplies. He asserted that
the matter had been discussed before
between himself and Macben and that
Crawford showed familiarity with the
plans for such an arrangement. Ir
speaking of the arrangement among the
men. Lorenz called It a subsidiary com
pany. He was asked by Holmes Con
rad, special counsel for the Government,
who were meant by "subsidiary com
pany." and 'he said Machen, Crawford
and himself.
Machine Divides Profits.
According to Lorenz, he arrived in
Washington on the evening of June 3
and met Machen. The next day he called
on Crawford and spent most of that day
and the next In Crawford's office. The
witness said that the evenings of June
4 and 5 were spent In his room at the
hotel, where he, Machen and Crawford
were In conference.
"Who first suggested the division of
the profits under the contract obtained
by Crawford's company?" asked Mr. Con
'rad. "Machen was in my room and said
there should be some agreement as to
the division of the spoils. He said:
" 'Crawford may suggest that he re
ceive one-fourth, you one-fourth, and that
one-half shall come to me. If he does,
that will be satisfactory to me.'
Machen then said, whatever the ar-
krangemcntar he and I should divide our
shares equally. . That Is, if tbree-iourtns
came to us. -we would divide 1L"
Further questioning brought the state
ment from Lorenz that Crawford had
made the suggestion of the division when
they met the next day and the figures
were in accordance with those that had
been named by Machen. He said that
the three men came to terms according
to that agreement. Lorenz testified that
he had,, made division of the amount of
the draft according to the terms of the
contract.
At this point the court was adjourned
until tomorrow, when the examination
of Lorenz will be continued.
