Death of Charles Joseph Bonaparte, (of Maryland), grandnephew of Napoleon I and grandson of N's brother Jerome. Long-time (summer) resident of St. Andrews. Member of Roosevelt Cabinet July 1/1905 as secretary of navy. Attorney general 1906. Overseer of Harvard University.
"News of the death of Hon. Charles J. Bonaparte of Baltimore was received here this week and caused sincere regret not only among his friends at the Algonquin but of the townspeople, many of whom were intimate friends. Mr. Bonaparte has been a resident here for 25 years (1896). Hon. Charles Joseph Bonaparte was a grandnephew of emperor Napoleon I, and grandson of Napoleon's brother, Jerome, who married the beautiful Betsy Patterson of Westphalia. He was born June 9, 1851 in Baltimore. His parents were Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte and Susan May Williams-Bonaparte. His elder brother, Jerome, died several years ago leaving two children, Countess de Molke-Huitfeldt of Denmark, and Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, of Baltimore and Washington, who now is head of the American branch of the noted family.
Hon. Charles J. Bonaparte made such a reputation by attacking the political rings of Maryland and President Roosevelt got him as special counsel for the government to prosecute the perpetrators of postal frauds. He entered the Roosevelt cabinet on July 1,1905, as secretary of the navy, and was transferred to the attorney-generalship on December 17, 1906, holding that office until the inauguration of President Taft. As attorney-general he directed several prosecutions of the 'trust busting' series.
Mr. Bonaparte was identified with many charitable and educational institutions and was known as a practical reformer. He was an overseer of Harvard University for twelve years, a founder of the National Municipal League and a trustee of the Catholic University of America. He married in 1875 Miss Elling Channing Bay of Hartford.

Facts which Convict the Government on its Own Board. Map of railway system in New Brunswick/Maine. "The Grand Trunk Line from Montreal to Portland, Maine, 172 miles in length, according to Sir Joseph Flavelle's report to the government, cost the people of Canada, last year, $1,627,613, the loss in operation along being more than 1 million dollars. In other words, Canadian taxpayers contributed more than 1 million last year to pay the loss in operation on a line which took Canada's traffic away from Canadian ports and diverted it toward an American port. . . . When the Laurier government proposed the building of the Transcontinental railway it appealed to the people. The result of the general election of 1904 was the people's answer. But not one word of the proposed purchase of the CNR and the Grand Trunk Systems was mentioned by the Borden-Meighen faction in the 1917 campaign. Yet before the echoes of the campaign had ceased they proceeded to recklessly squander the people's money in the purchase of railways. The CNR put a hole in Canada's credit to the extent of some 626 million. What the Grand Trunk cost has never been accurately ascertained."
(It was common to "hiss" one's disapproval at political rallies.)
