Sternberg Opposed to an Investigation
at the Present Time.
Washington, Sept. 3.-Surgeon-Gen
eral Sternberg today sent the following
letter to New York medical publica.
ton which had made Inquiries Of him
concerning the conduct OF the war with
reference to the medical department,
and especially about the subject of hay
ing an immediate. investigation OF his
bureau. He says:
81 am ready at any moment for a
complete investigation with reference
to my administration OF the affairs OF
the medical department. but the war
department is not disposed to make
such an investigation as the result OF
sensational newspaper articles. There
is at present an evident craze to c1iti.
else, without regard to truth or justice.
| have no doubt there will be congress.
siona investigation into the conduct OF
the war, but do not feel at liberty at
present to insist upon an investigation
for nv own vindication, because it is
contrary to the general interests Of the
service. 1t would be wrong for me tt
give up all the important official WORK
which at present almost overwhelms
me. for the purpose of devoting myself
ia a presentation OF the facts relating to
nv administration. 1t would make it
necessary to take clerks away from
their daily tasks in order to look up the
documentary evidence on file in my
office, and in the meantime important
matters would necessarily be neglected
ard the sick in all pats OF the country
would suffer. 1t would make it neces-
sary to call upon the medical officers,
who are now urgently needed for the
care OF the sick in our various camps
and hospitals, to come to Washington
az witnesses, and all this to satisfy the
clamor OF irresponsible newspaper re-
porters. There has been no Official
campaign with reference to my admin
istration OF the medical department.
"With regard to Mantauk point, |
intend to send ut once, Lieutenant
Colonel Charles Smart, an experienced
officer and the professor OF hygiene in
our army medical school, to make a
thorough sanitary investigation. 70
90 myself, much as should like to do

THREE BATTLE-SHIPS.
Bids for the New War Vessels Opened
In Washington.

In Washington.
Washington, Sept. 3.-Four firms to-
day offered bids for the three new bat.
tleships authorized by the last congress.
The lowerst bid OF each for any type Of
one vessel follows:
Newport News Shipbuilding Co
$3.50, 900; Cramps, Philadelphia,
$3.50; Union Iron Works, San Fran.
cisco, s2,674 900; Dialogue & Co.. 4,
Camden, $2,640.
The result of the bidding is eminent.
ly satisfactory to the navy department.
From the face of the bids it is clear
that the government is going to secure
much more in the matter OF power and
speed than was expected; that the cost
is going to be less than was paid pro.
poltionately for the Illinois class, and,
finally, that the department will be
able to distribute the work among the
three big building concerns, a method
of construction that always rebounds to
the advantage of the government.
The Newport News Company is the
lowest bidder, but bids for only one
ship. The highest is the Union iron
works, but the act of congress makes an
allowance OF not to exceed 4 per cent
in favor of the Pacific bidders, So that
brings their bid within line. The
Cramps come in between them. and
consequently the three ships are likely
to be distributed geographically in that
order. In the case of the 1S.knot ships,
both the Cramps and the Union iron
works submitted similar plans. The
Newport News bid for the lS-knot ves-
sci is original with them. If it should
not be satisfactory to the department,
then the Cramps would probably get
two ships.
The bids have been taken under ad-
visement by Acting Secretary Allen.
The bids were made in three classes,
the first being under the plans prepared
by the navy department calling for
ships of about II, 800 tons with a speed
Of l6 knots. Other classes were under
plans prepared by the builders them
selves, and in some cases additional
plans were prepared by the engineering
bureau, but included in the original
Specifications sent out to bidders.

NOT GOOD DETECTIVES.
New York Police OGieiaIs Think Women
Not Adapted For Sleuths.


There has been n great deal of talk late
~ ahou. the women detectives in certain
department stores, says the New York
sun. When queStioned on this subject cx
Police Inspector Alexander :. Williams
said:
II can tell you In two words what
think Of woman qualifications for detect
i've work--prccious little. When woman
attempts to do detective work of any kind.
In department stores or out of them. she is
inclined to go too far, to overstep the
bounds, and for that reason she is not
qualified for the work"
what noted women detectives have
been on the police force during the last %
years." asked the reporter
Not one" answered cx-Inspector Viii
liams cmphatically. About % years ago
there was woman connected with the po-
lice department In a kind of way who
started out very clcvcrly. She was bright,
clever, pretty little woman, with a trim
little figure. and, 80 far as know, was all
right when she started in the business.
But she saw 20 much had that she got bad
herself"
Captain George W. McClusky, chief Of
the detective bureau, has a LITTLE better
opinion Of woinan's ability TO hunt out
crime and criminals than the ex-inspector,
but his estimate Is not likely to turn the
heads Of the women detectives
There are no women connected directly
with the police department, F" said Captain
McClusky, 'and mono has been in the
last quarter Of century, presume Wo-
men n regular detectives are no good, but
on special cases, when IL comes 20 fine ing
things out, they 10 fine work. Their van
iiy, however, sooner or later makes = sm
oycr1calous. We have two or three .ng
women that we call on frequently, and
they do exceedingly clover work, such as
getting acquainted with clerks suspected
of stealing 10y their employers and getting
into houses and making the acquaintance
Of people. We do not concern ourselves
about the morals Of the women we employ
tn do detective work any more than we do
about the morals Of the men employed
Experience has taught me, however," adj.
mittcd Captain McClusky with a smile
and n shrug that told more than his words,
THAT women who do detective work are
very bread minded and liberal in their
views"
