FAILING SIGHT

 END HIS LIFE
Was Ambitious to Rehabilitate Shattered Family Fortunes Father Comes Here Today With Explanation of Tragedy -
 Son Was Over StudiOus

Hereditary despondency to which was added the dawning knowledge that failing eyesight would prevent his restoring a fond fathers depleted for tunes, were the causes which prompt ed George H. Rees, Jr., of Northport. l.. l., to commit suicide yesterday morning in Seaside Park, where he shot himself through the head with a .32 calibre revolver.
 It was a prema atlrely aged father
 who with slow and faltering steps came down the gang-plank of the Park City as she docked from Port Ieffer- son, this morning, and later. complete the remains of his son at the Cullinan & Mullins morgue. But for the com fort and sustaining arm of Arthur Bernard CopleO president of the Northport Lirn ber & Coal Company a personal friend and in business with whom both fatlsar and son had been identified-the aged parent would have completely colIa psed.
 MT. Copley in arranging the details of removing the body said: T have known George Fl. Rees, JF.. since his and was adored by his family, consist ing of father. mother and one sister. He is undoubtedly the victim of hered- itafy aff1iction coupled with an ardent desire to acquit himself highly in the profession of civil engineer, for which he had overstudied. He wanted to re- store before his fathers death the for tunes which had been lost in unfor- tunate mining ventures, but recently failing eyesight had necessftated his coming to Bridgeport for special treat ment. During his stay here he had engaged his services to various ern- ployers, and it was but a few days ago when he had sent home a money order for $3S50 enclosed in most roseate letter concerning his future.''
 In Bridgeport, young Rees made ht- tie known concerning his employment or prospects,. He was reticent and taciturn, eating at the Star Lunch in State street, where he held a1oof from cornpanionship and living at the house of Mrs. c. s. Mariel1o, Ss6 Broad street, to whose husband 1t was recalled yes tertlay he had made several signifi- cant remarks, little suspected at the time to forecast his later act.
 After preparation for burial the body was shipped to Northport this after noon upon. the Port Jefferson boat. =

ARNOLD 90 YEARS
 IN POLICE FORCE Strong Arm of the Law" Physi- cal as Well as Mental Marvel Veteran Head of Detective Bureau Recipient of Many
 Congratulations on
 Anniversary

Though passing the fiftieth anniver- sary yesterday of his appointment to service as a police officer in the city of Bridgeport, Captain of Detectives George H. Arnold presents today as vigorous, intelligent and forceful char acter as any younger men who may aspire to fill his place as admonitor of the human family. He is, literally, as well metaphorically, the strong arm of the law as has been proven in many an encounter with the unre- generate. His is the arm that reaches to convict.
 George Arnold was a comparatively young man when in 1862 he was first made a constable here, but by leaps and bounds he gained fame. It was first admitted as regular patro1rnan to the present force, being assigned to night watch" under the direction of Capt. Bryan. His rise was spectacu- famous New York inspector, Byrnes. can boast of more clever criminal de- tection than can the present head of the department here.
 Yet in his treatment of erring hu- nanity his methods are tempered with kindness, and intuition guides him to capture rather than physical suasion. It is the boast of the man whose de- duction has brought to justice such offenders against the law as Jim Boinay and Weeks gang, that given one fact as a clue he would appre. bend the criminal quicker than by a dozen contributory clues.
 Captain Arnold is today the recil,- tent of many congratulatory letters and expressions of good will for his continuance in the capacity he has so long filled with skill and efficiency.

VINCENT WILL
 LOSE POSITION
 ON TAX BOARD
Bull Moose Leader Will Not Get disappointment, Rumor
 Has it
Activity in Last Election Puts Business Man ''In Wrong
 With Republican Leaders

s. F. Vincent, Bull Moose nominee for Congress in the recent election, undoubtedly will be eliminated from the Board Of Apportionment and Taxa tion when Mayor c. B. Wilson makes his appointments this week. MT. Vim cents term as a member of the board expires on Dec. 31, and his successor is named during the month of Decem- ber
 Recognized as the real head of the Progressive party movement in this city, and one of the men who had Q great deal to do with retirement of Congressman F. J. Hill from active political life, it is not probable that MT. Vincent will receive other than scant consideration from the Republi- can leaders here. There is no charter provision against his disappointment, even as a member of the Progressive party There is, however strong feeling among the Republican bosses against his succeeding himself, these bosses holding that MT. Vincent and his friends did much to overthrow the control of the Republican machine, To- cally, statewise and nationally.
 Mayor Wilson was asked today if he had considered anyone to succeed Mir. vincent The mayor said he has not given much thought to the appoint ments of any board members, and wouldn't comment on the probability of MT. Vincent's being shelved.

 FINE FOR MRS. LANG

 Mrs. Lang cried hysterically in her husbands arms, the young bridegroom holding back his own tears to comfort her. James Clark, the wonaan's father whose opposition to the marriage was partly responsible for the tragedy broke down completely. The sight oE the aged man weeping and the pa tretic parting of the young pair af- fected every person in the courtroom
 This scene followed another quite as touching when Judge John Lairy and Prosecutor Michael Fansler vainly tried to lead the year old daughter of the dead woman through descrip- tion of the shooting. The frightened child did nothing but cry on the stand. Judge Lairy, after a brief statement of the case against Mrs. Lang. indi- cated that she was fortunate to escape prosecution for first degree murder.

 OF CURRENCY

Washington, Dec. 6-In Q message teeming with optimism, President Taft today urged upon Congress an ad- vanced program of legislation on the fiscal, judicial, military and insular af- i fairs of the nation.
 Pleading for the immediate passag of currency reform measure along the lines of the Aldrich pIan the Pres ident declared for @ bigger navy, a further reorganization of the army to provide for greater reserve during times Of peace, continued supervision over Porto Rico and the Philippines, federal regulation of water powers in navigable streams and the promulga- tion of a worlzingnen's compensation act.
 The President highly praised Col. Goethals, chief engineer of the Pan anna Canal. and recommended that, in recognition of his wonderful work. Goetha-ls be made major general of gfneers when the present incumbent is retired.
 The tariff the President discussed with a. few paragTa pI1s. It was my belief that these cls- toms duties ought to be revised down ward he said, t7but now that a new Congress has been elected on a plat form of the tariff for revenue only rather than 8 protective tariff, it is needless for, me to occupy the time of Congress with arguments or recorn-
 
 The Presidents plea. for a revised banking and currency system was es- peciaIly emphatic. Declaring 1t to be the most crying need of the ountry today he recommended the inmed- fate adoption of an elastic currency system. along the lines of the central bank idea proposed by the A1drich currency bill.

 The President warned Congress against the proposal of the Democrats to. grant freedom to the Philippines
 Praising the new disciplinary rules for the navy which largely obviate severe punfshments for assertions and purely military offenses, the President declared for a bigger navy.
 We have no desire for war; he said, i've would go as far as any nation in the world to avoid war, but we are a world-pOWer and our manifold inter ests require us to recognize our posi- ,tion as one of the foremost of the fam dies of the nation
 Reviewing the work of the Supreme court, the President warned against radical antitrust legiSla ton and sounded the praises of the Sherman law.

 One report tells of the huntsrnen losing their way in a wild section of the woods and being forced to camp out all night in hay-mow. Hitting the hay in a literal sense proved such a treat for "Bill'' Futile that he bought the haynow and camped in it many nights while on the hunt
