COMMENTED
ASSERS0N

washington, Nov. 26.--Civil Engineer
Peter Assersou. u. s. N. retired, has
written letter TO the secretary of the
navy in reply to the charge made by Rear
Admiral John II. Upshur. retired. to the
effect that the former was using visiting
cards bearing the title. Rear Admiral" "
after his name. and that inasmuch as he
was not entitled TO that title his conduct
was unbecoming an officer and a gentle
man. Civil Engineer Asserson was retired
with the rank OF Rear Admiral. and the
question at issue is whether he has n
right to the title az well as the rank OF
Rear Admiral.
Civil Engineer Assersons letter has not
yet been made public, but IL Is understood
10 be In substance a statement that mas
much as he was retired with the rank of
Rear Admiral and as he received letters
from the department addressed to him a.
Rear Admiral he concluded that he was
right I'm assuming the title.
He adds. however, that if he was not
right In such action he erred unwittingly
and is prepared TO make such amends az
the secretary OF the navy may require.
The letter concludes with n vigorous
criticism OF Rear Admiral Upshur for his
officiousness in entering complaint. II Is
pointed out that there Is no official ac-
cuser In the navy. as there is in the army,
and that charges against naval officers
must be formulated by the department tt
self upon facts ascertained 10 be suffi-
ciently presumptive of guilt TO justify
action
Officials OF the department who have
looked into the matter declare that Rear
Admiral Upshur has overstepped the
bounds OF propriety and has rendered
himself liable TO a sharp reprimand. They
also took especial pleasure yesterday i'm
pointing 70 Rear Admiral Upshur's record

DOG COMMITTED SUICIDE.
This Spaniel Could. Not stand Bully ing of Kennel Mate, It Is Thought,
 So Ends Life with Gas.

Mig, a pet spaniel owned by Lafay- cite Heidell, of Rochester, N. r., is dead, and the manner of his shufiling off establishes a precedent in dogdom. He died by asphyMation. and whether the case is one of suicide or murder is puzzling the disconsolate owner
 In company with bull pup Mig oc- cupied comfortable quarters in MT HeidelPs home for several years, and his lot was happy, far beyond that of the ordinary dog. If his end was in duced by his own devices the cause for the act is hard to trace Motive for the murderous deed on the part of the bull pup Is equally difficult to find. Therefore mystery surrounds the lam entable case. But Mig is certainly dead.
 Mir Heidell was awakened one night recently by a nauseating odor of gas. Being familiar with the use of gas jets, he was convinced that he had not blown out the gas before retiring, so he searched the premises to discover the leak.
 The cause of the trouble was found in the kitchen. where the gas range was discharging it's fuel from an open pipe. Near the range were stretched the two dogs. Evidently they had be- come restless and in moving around the stove had opened the stop-cock. Both had been overcome, and Mig had passed away to the dogs paradise. After some trouble the bull pup was revived and is still in the ring, though weak.
 Persons acquainted with Nlg's dis position are inclined to believe that long suffering from the pups bullying abuse. he sacrificed bis life in a spirit of revenge.
