FISHERIES SOCIETY MEETS
Limit Reaching Yarn Relieves
Scientific Papers.

The annual three days session of the
American Fisheries Society opened yester-
day in the New York Aquarium Na-Uu-
rally at such a gathering a few up-to-date
fish stories are in order. The members are
used to them. and eagerly look forward 10
the Matching of some new ones eacn year
The limit was reached yesterday. how
ever when John z. Gunckel, of Toledo,
president of the Newsboys' Association
interrupted the regular order of business
nv the statement that he could tell some
things about fish culture that would make
all sit I'D and take notice.
Il have been pursuing fish culture so far
that I have had fish growing on trees,
said Gunckei.
IF Ananias were here he would be jeal-
GUS retorted Seymour Bower, of Detroit
who is president of the society.
4 can prove it by pictures. protested
Gunckel.
.rFellers Of hsh stories are not supposed
to prove anything, nor are they required TO
tell the truth" answered the presiding
officer
The laugh which followed this retort was
enough to squeleh the aspiring narrator Of
fish stories. and the regular procedure was
resumed.
Every state in the Union was represented
at the meeting which will be devoted
largely to the presentation of papers by
prominent fchthyologists- Among those
who will give expression TO their ideas IN
this manner are Professor Francis n. Her
rick, of Western Reserve University; Pro
fessor Bushford Dean. of Columbia Z nj
versity; w. H. Stafford. superintendent of
the Crawford Hatchery; Hugh NJ. Smith.
United States Deputy Commissioner of
Fisheries. and Professor Raymond c. Os-
burn. assistant director of the New York
Aquarium.
The principal speaker yesterday was Dr.
Charles H. Townsend, director OF the New
York Aquarium. He maintained that the
neglect of rivers had led TO a national bur
den, and that the pollution Of public
waters was a most common act here and
a most uncivilized practice. The speaker
referred especially to the conditions in the
Hudson River and its tributaries, which he
called deplOra BILE.
