place from the home of her relatives, No.
:35 9Th street southeast, at O'Clock this
afternoon. Relatives and a few friends of
the young woman followed the body to its
last resting place in Gienwood cemetery.
According to a story in New York papers
the mysterious man who visited Miss Le-
hoir Sunday night, and who had been
known as Doc" was Doctor Hans Tres
kow. 1t was stated that there had been a
quarrel in the room between him and the
young woman shortly before he left, and
so loud was the language used that occu-
pants of other rooms were disturbed.
DR.. Treskow has, it is said. an elaborate
ofnce in the house of Mrs. Tryon, at No
141 West 34tn street, and also a dispensary
and drug store at No. 497 9th avenue New
York. He had known Miss Lenoir for a
long time. When she lived at the house OF
Mrs. DR.. McCleary he called upon her fire.
quently, and. after she went 10 the Sturte-
want House he was frequent visitor there
1t is stated that the doctor has only few
patients to call at his elaborate saith street
office. while ia his room, on 9th avenue he
Goes fairly good business.
The doctor is married man, but some
time ago he separated from his wife, and
the latter is living in Harlem.
" men DetecllNe heBal OF the Sturtevant
House came to DR.. McCleary's house, eaHy
last Monday morning, ana lolo Aer that
Kate Lenoir, her former lodger, had COM
mitted suicide at the hotel, DR.. McCleary,
before she would give the officer any infor-
nation insisted upon sending out for Dr.
Treskow. The young man appeared in fif-
teen minutes, and, after learning the cir
cumstances of the suicide and assuring
himself that the young woman had left no
messages. he gave the detective the address
of her relatives in Washington. He de-
clined to give his own name and Dr. Nc
Cleary also refused to inform the police or
the coroner of the name of the man who
had been the young woman's frequent yisi-
tor. All she would say was that he was
friend of Miss Lenoir's relatives in Wash
ington. and that his relations with the girl
mad been merely those of an acquaintance
of the family.
1t is stated that the doctor is acquainted
with many actresses who were friends of
Miss Lenoir, and that he called at the house
OF Miss Rainez the night that Miss LenoIr
stopped there, after she left Mrs Dr. Nc
Cleary's house. DR.. Treskow, 1t is said,
first met the unfortunate woman either in
this city, or in Baltimore and that he has
relatives In this city. Friends of the dead
woman say that they know nothing about
the doctor.

Dissimilarify of Arms Used by tn,
Army and NAVY.


Dissimilarity of Arms Used by the
Army and Navy.
The consideration of the naval appropria-
tion bill before the subcommittee now
framing it has drawn attention to the dis
similarity of arms used by the army and
the navy, and Representative Hilborn CT
California. a member of the committee
feels that steps should be taken to bring
about uniformity in the arms of the vari-
Gus branches of the government service
Mr.. Hilborn points out that at presebt the
army gun is the Krag-Jorgenser of 30
caliber, while the navy uses the Lee gun of
% caliber. In case of an emergency there
could be be interchange. and reserve sup
ply of ammunitiohl by one branch could not
be available to the other branch. This is
said to be particularly noticeable in the
case of the marine corps, which is naval
branch which operates with the infantry
branch of the army. Although thus brought
together, the marines have the small cali
Der rifle while the infantry has the large
caliber. The equipments of one are there
fore of no use to the others
Mr. Hilborn does not expect to see this
remedied by the naval appropriation bill,
but favors a joint committee of the Senate
and HoLse who could take expert testi-
n nony with view to securing uniformity
