SLEUTHS SEARCHED
STEAMER HAVERFORR
Three Detectives and CustOE In
SpectOr Allen Board Vessel Near
This CITY

For a short time yesterday Detec-
tives Miller. OLeary and Green. OF
Philadelphia, thought they had cap
tured one OF the Humberts who are
wanted in France for swindling
French and English bankers. Yester-
day afternoon the detectives came to
Grubb's Landing, on the police boat
Ashbridge. There by appointment they
met B. b. Allen, deputy customs inspcc-
tor, of this city. Together they board
ed the American Line steamship Hav-
erford. which sailed from Liverpool ON
May q.
It was believed tho Humberts were
on this vessel. and for days the arrival
of the Havorford has been anxiously
awaited. The detectives were armed
with photographs and descriptions of
the noted swindlers. and as soon as
they boarded the vessel consulted the
purser. He said he thought he had
az least one of the family on board.
lie pointed out TO the detective and
the Inspector a young woman who an
swcred the description Ia the posses
sion of the detectives.
They thought the girl appeared to
be worried and agitated. The slenths
mingled with the passengers. who soon
snotucd the detectives and had much
fun at their expense. They were told
fake stories. and friends among the
passengers had the officers shadowing
each other.
The three detectives rode to Phila-
delphia on the steamship. When they
arrived there they announced that the
swindlers were not aboard.

Their Release

Friends of John Lynn and Harry
White are in Dover today before the
Board of Pardons in the interest of
the two men. who are now serving
time in the workhouse on the charge
OF defrauding the county of funds.
The contention is that the men are
not criminals. That they have paid
all their fines. suffered all the punish.
ment and shame that should be in
iiicted
Afidavits of prominent citizens de-
clare that in business transactions
with the men for many years their ac-
counts were 'always straight even TO
the penny. Whites friends make a
public accounting Of everything except
$3.50. and urge the board to hasten, as
his term expires in August.

PEOPLE COMPLAIN OF DUST
Say Street Is Never Swept and Is Very
DiSagreeable

Residents along Shearman street are
complainaing about the condition of
that thoroughfare They say the
street is never swept, and the dust is
very thtick, and on a windy day. or
when the people try TO sweep in front
of their houses. the dust is very dis
agreeable, and blows into their homes
and ruins the furniture. The dirt is
allowed to collect in the cutters also,
and this holds the water and causes il
to become stagnant An unhealthy
odor is emitted and helps to make life
more unpleasant
Tho people say the other streets in

WATCH CAST UP BY THE SEA.
Gold Timepiece Believed to Be Relic
From the Lost Rio.

From the San Frsncisco Examiner.
After having been tossed by the waves of
the Pacific for probably more than a year,
figures almost obliterated by the wash of
the sands, was found yesterday at high
tide on Bakers Beach The finder, Mrs. o.
Haldeman, wife of a collector for the tele-
phone company, who lives at 437 O'Farrell
street, thinks the timepiece may be a relic
Of the wrecked Rio de Janeiro. Mr. and
Mrs. Haldeman were strolling along the
beach when Mrs. Haldeman observed what
she thought was an unusually bright shell.
She stopped to pick 1t up, and found that
it was watch which the incoming tide had
cast up.
The timepece is of French make and un-
doubtedly was at one time valuable. AL
though its mechanism is rusted and cogged
with sand, the case is as bright as the day
1t left the watchsmith. The case is hand
carved On the back are traced two doves
Inside the case are engraved the numbers
22,164 and $685. Haldeman says a local
watch from him, but he will not sell it,
1t might be priceless memento to some
one who lost a friend or a relative at sea,
he says. IF any one can prove his right to
it am ready to give 1T up

Plural Names of Edible Fish.
From Notes and Queries.


A few days ago 1 was asked by a for
eigner, why do you say two herrings'
and two soles' and not two Gods and two
salmons?" do not think my answer was
very satisfactory, but the question sug-
gested the thought that there are several
cases in which 1t would be difficult to say
whether there is anything like consensus
Of opinion as to whether a plural form Of
the name of a fish is admissible. We all
speak of soles. herrings, sprats, lampreys
and anchovies, the singular form never, I
believe, doing service for the plural No
one, l think, says mackerels Gods, SAL
mons, trouts, Dreams, shads, earps, places
basses, barbels. Sturgeon, perch, mullet
pike, turbot, funny and skate have not un-
usually the plural form in "s."
Fishermen and f1shmongers are inclined
to avoid the plural form in some instances
where it is employed by the majority of
educated people. In some cases there is
considerable uncertainty. This I have as
certained by means of a fair number of
tests Among them are carps, shads.
tenches. Compilers of English grammars,
SO far as my experience goes, in treating
of plural forms of nouns make no note Of
the names of fish which do not vary in the
plural.

DEATH OF DIR. DARLING
PRACTITIONER IN DISTRICT FOR
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
Graduate of University of Virginia
Interment to Be Made in Rock
Creek Cemetery.

DR.. Henry Darling of Brightwood, ID. c.,
died at Garfield Hospital last night at IL 30
o clock after an Illness of several weeks. At
the hospital yesterday DR.. Ford Thompson
operated upon him for cancer of the stom-
ach, but the efforts of the attending physi-
clans proved unavailing DR.. Darling was
fifty-eight years of age and he leaves a
widow and six children-four sons and two
daughters-all of whom reside in the Dis
trict.
The funeral will take place tomorrow af-
ternoon at 4 o'clock, from Rock Creek
Episcopal Church, Rev. Charles f. Buck,
rector of the parish, officiating, Interment
will be made in Rock Creek cemetery. The
pallbearers are selected from the dead
mans personal friends and will consist of
the following persons: Messrs. f. r. Keys,
Z. c. Keys Robert White. Edward Stumph,
R. E. Morse and Henry E. Davis.
DIR. Darling was well known In Washing
ton and had many friends. He was con-
sidered an able and conscientious physi-
clan and was highly respected in the COM
munity where he was known. He came TO
Washington about twenty-five years ago
and located at Brightwood, where he has
practiced his profession continually ever
since with the exception of two or three
months prior to his death. The early life
of DIR. Darling was spent in Montgomery
county, Md, his father being a farmer in
the Sandy Spring district. He graduated
from the College of Medicine of the Uni
versity of Maryland, in Baltimore, and
practiced in that city for several years be-
fore removing to the District of Columbia.
About three years ago DIR. Darling was
severely injured in a collision with a
Brightwood street car, when three of his ribs
were badly crushed. Since receiving this
1t is alleged that the accident greatly has
tened his death.
