[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
Washington, Jan S-The Tribune's disclosures
regarding the faulty and dishonest work OF the
contractors on Drydock No. 3 at the New-YOrk
Navy Yard have arrested the attention of a
good many Congressman and excited a lively In
terest. Already intimations are heard that an in
vestigation by a committee Of Congress may be
necessary in order to get at all the facts and TX
the blame where 1t properly belongs Among those
who offered this suggestion was member of the
House Committee on Naval Affairs. who re-
marked that "A naval court Of inquiry. like a
military court. is too apt to whtewash the ac-
cused if he be officer In the service"
On all sides the friends and supporters OF the
existing naval policy express deep regret that
the facts Justify The Tribunes exposures They
fear not only that bad and dishonest work may
be found elsewhere which has been done under
the supervision Of the Bureau Of Yards and
Docks but that great AMI unlooked-for difficulty
will be experienced in inducing Congress to vote
needful appropriations for the enlargement Of
some OF the Government drydocks now In exist
ence and the building of two or more new ones
