He was a member of the Board of Indian Commissioners from 1902 to 1904, chairman of the National Civil Service Reform League in 1904 and appointed a trustee of The Catholic University of America in northeast Washington, D.C.

He was active in suits brought against the trusts and was largely responsible for breaking up the tobacco monopoly. He became known as "Charlie, the Crook Chaser." In 1908, Bonaparte established a Bureau of Investigation (BOI) within the Department of Justice which had been earlier established in 1870 under the direction of the Attorney General himself. By the 1920s, under its long-time director, J. Edgar Hoover, the Bureau had again been cleaned up and streamlined and in 1935 was renamed the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Le nom des Bonapartes prend effectivement un S puisqu'il s'agit d'une famille illustre, voire régnante. Le S était de mise au XIXéme et XXéme s et ne saurai être omis.
Comparaitre des elections du milieu du xix eme a celles sous general de gaulle est d une crasse imbécilité...l electorat et le droit de vote etant trés trés differend.un peu de sérieux

Salut je me demandais si Napoléon III est bien le neveu de Napoléon Bonaparte? Aussi, j'ai lu que Louis Bonaparte est le fils du Compte de Marbeuf.
The exact name was Paterson and not Petersen.
