Bonapane Defends
His Department;
Assumes All Blame
Bonaparte'S Statement

Secretary Bonaparte issues the
following statement today:
In so far as the publications in
question reflect on me personally,
1 do not care 10 say anything at
all about them; but they reflect,
by implication, upon my subordi-
mates as well, since they allege
in substance that the work of the
entire department is languid and
Ineffective; and IL is my duty, as
its head, 10 pronounce this state
ment a bald falsehood, originat-
ing either in malice or else in
gross and willful ignorance of
the facts.
The work of the department in
creases every day, and 1 do not
believe it has ever received more
jealous and faithful attention
than it receives now from the Of
icers and employees Of the de-
partment, with the exception, of
course. of the Attorney General
himself.
do not. indeed, consider it any
part of the departments duty TO
furnish a liberal daily supply OF
headlines fO- newspapers, and the
department is not administered
with that laUdable end in view;
but for this opinion and its prac-
teal application, no one is re-
spOnsible or should be blamed
but my unworthy self.

Vice Consul Hutchinson has started

During the year 1906 property In the
United States to the value OF more
than half billion dollars was de-
stroyed by fire. OF course this enor-
nous total, which is said never to
have been equaled in any country, at
any time, was due in large part to the
San Francisco disaster. Nevertheless.
the executive officer of the Interna-
tional Society of Building Inspectors
has declared that nine-tenths of the
national fire loss is preventable.
