Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. i NEW YORK, September 2.—Thou- gands of fish of varying color, size, breed and temperament—if fish have temperament—-will swim for their honor and that of their owners in the Aquarium_Society of New York exhi-| bition to be held on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Members of the Aquarium Society already ere getting all worked up about | the show. It seems that a controversy | already has developed—one that has been simmering for some time— and is to be settled. if the aquarists have their way, during the show.

The show is an unusual event. (Copyrigat, 1931.) INDEPENDENTS 0PPOSE STANDARD OIL MERGER California Assacution Protests Combine Would Control Price Fix- ing and Violate Trust Laws.
