Supreme Court Justice Dickey renewed the

in a game between the Hackensack Wheelman and
the Oritani Field Club about year ago. Koehler
editor of a magazine circulated among the mem
bers of the club wrote among others things that
the umpire's decisions unfair and that
downright robbery was manifest
Chester R. Wells, chairman of the baseball
committee of the Hackensack Club. testifying for
the defense said that after of Keefe's alleged
unfair decisions the people in the grandstand
shouted: "Robber, put him out of the game!'
Did they want to kill the umpire?" chuckled
Justice Dickey.
They shouted dirty ball" continued the wit

NAVAL TITLE FIGHT.
UPSHUR Makes CHARGES.
Says AsSerson Has No Right to
Title of Rear admiral.
frRom THE TRIBUNE suREAU.l

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE fight over naval
titles, which breaks out every now and then IN
the service. has reached a somewhat acute form
by the filing of charges on the part OF Rear Ad-
miraI John Fl. Upshur, who retired in 1880.
against Civil Engineer Peter c. Assessor,
u. S. N, who retired in 1901 with the rank of
rear admiral. The former officer lives in Wash
ington, and spends much of his time at the
Metropolitan Club. The latter makes his home
at Floral Park Long Island. The charges arise
from the fact that Civil Engineer Asserson has
the title Rear Admiral on his visiting card,
and Admiral Upshur maintains that his brother
officer has right to the title. being a civil
engineer without military rank. Asserson's
claim to the title of admiral arises from
the fact that he was retired with that rank, the
distinction in the service especially on the part
of line officers, being that between rank and
title. The charges are understood to have sug
gested that Asserson guilty of conduct I'M
becoming an officer and gentleman" This is
a serious allegation to make and is not likely to
add to the cordial relations between the line and
staff. Most of the staff officers however. do not
believe that any of their class entitled to
line titles, and few use them in any way
To-day the Secretary of the Navy had occa-
sion to act adversely the protest of Pay Di-
rector A s. Kenny, of the navy. who objected
to being addressed such in official communca-
tons. He was formerly paymaster general Of
the navy and asserts that he should be styled
"Paymaster General. L. S. A, retired" He did
not claim the title of rear admiral, although he
was retired with that rank and receives the re-
tired pay Of the grade. that is. when he IS not
drawing the higher pay from the government as
disbursing officer treasurer of the Panama
Canal Commission.
A year ago another civil engineer, Franklin G.
Prindle, of the retired list, who was also re-
tired as admiral was reported by Admiral
Upshur for using the title of rear admiral, and
it is of the traditions of the Navy Depart
ment that Assistant Secretary Darling rebuked
Admiral Upshur for taking active a part In a
campaign against other naval officers who were
employing titles regarding the use of which
there might be some question 1t was then
asked why retired officer should institute the
inquiry Admiral Upshur has been Vtgllant IN
this respect and while many officers agree with
him in his opinions about titles. they do not IN
dorse his action in preferring charges and seek
ing to have officers punished by reprimand. The
department will undoubtedly sustain Upshur In
his complaint against Asserson but 1t Will not
bring the latter officer to trial on any sucn
charges as are introduced by Admiral Upshur.

HURT ON RAILWAYS IN YEAR, $4,000.
Accidental Injuries Likely to Reach That
Number in 1905, Says Doctor.

The fourteenth annual meetineg of the New
York and New England Association of Railroad
Surgeons began at the NewYork Academy of
Medicine yesterday. Among the papers read were
Relief and Hospital Department by Dr. G. G..
Thomas, chief surgeon OF the Atlantic Coast Line,
and Transportation of the Injured with Il Mod
Hospital Car" by DR.. D. 5. Fairchild, surgeon
OF the Chicago and Northwestern Railway.
Hospital to be used in accidents and rail-
way hospitals were especially discussed. The rail-
way hospital is a feature of many OF the railways
of the West including the Santa Fe. but the
surgeons connected with the Eastern railways con-
tended that it was not only impracticable in the
East but not needed. because of the admirable
hospital service TO be secured in almost any town
OF consequence along the lines of the Eastern
railroads. The proposition for the institution Of
system of hospital cars TO be attached 10 wreck
ing trains was likewise opposed. the ground
that their utility In emergencies would be doubt
full. 1t takes from two to four hours to make up
a wrecking train, il was declared.
Dr. Z. s. Van Duyn, of Syracuse. who read
paper. asserted that the persons killed hurt in
railway accidents in the year ended March 1901,
numbered O0OO. OF these So per cent were ems
pIoyes of railroads. The number. he said, seemed
likely to reach 1900 for 1905.
