MORTON GOES OUT
BOnaparte to Succeed
Him as Secretary of
the Navy.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, May 31.-President
Roosevelt today authorized the an
nouncement that Charles J. Bonaparte
of Baltimore, Md. would be appoint
ed Secretary of the Navy to succeed
Paul Morton, who earlier in the day
stated he would retire July 1 to &C
to New York to take charge of the
plans for the construction of the sub
way system for operation i'm cOnnec-
tion with the surface lines.
The President also authorized the
statement that no other change in the
personnel of the cabinet was likely tt
take place in the near future.
To all except President ROosevelt'S
closest advisers the announcement OF
the selection of Mr.. Bonapartc as the
head of the navy came as a distinct
surprise. For many years Mr.. Bona
Parte has been an intimate friend OF
the President.
Eminent as a lawyer and as pub
liciSt and consistent advocate of civil
service reform, Mr.. BOnaparte has moi
been supposed to have more than al
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
i'm the strengthening of the naval es-
tabliShment.
Secretary Morton today gave out the
following statement:
Paul Morton announces that ne
will retire from the cabinet July -
1905. He will go to New York to live
and will become associated with Thos
F. Ryan. 1t 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 con
struct a large subway system. He
was one of the supporters of Judge
Parker in the last Presidential cam
paign.

Republicans here say that there is to

asked if he was a stakeholder and his
reply was that he would be- He was
then asked about the two papers. He
said that he did not know, but judged
that there would be but one paper.
You will notice he said, that the
incorporatOrs are the same people and
from this it can be reasonably infer
red that there will not be two pa

would take a portion of the stock, but
that this decision was reached with
the understanding that there would
be but one paper If there is but one
paper, he said, he would give the
paper support by putting up some
moneys for stock He seemed to think
that the paper was a certainty, would
