ANNUAL YULE ADJRESS IS SURPRISINGLY BRIEF, VATICAN CITY.

Dec. i 33. (T) "Prayers, prayers, prayers" are necessary In the present international situation, Pope Plus told the college of car-dlnnls and Roman prelates in his an-nuul Christmas address today, "Money, money, money," he said. "i needed to wage war." Severely criticizing the sterilization program of Germany, the pope said tle Inconsistency of such practices in the light, of religious teachings was clearly sot forth In a papal decree of 1931 and In the encyclical "Castli Coimubll." Declaring that, the International situ ation is bound up "with uncertainties and distrust bv the clashing interests of fruitless negotiations." the pope said tlvi best comiiunt he could offer is, "nobody knows" what the outcome will be. Those who had been expecting a long, analytical pontifical address on this occasion were to be disappointed, he added, saying that the situation did not warrant a more than an intimate talk with tlie churchmen.

This year, from a religious viewpoint, has been one of religious redemption with "work In many souls and over a vast scale." There are many other things "that we feel In our heart, but cannot say," he continued. "All those who wish for the wellare, peace and concord of the world and th general good of the whole Christian family," snld Pope Plus, "but who are In the same sltuat Ion as are we, namely, obliged to Judge events by that which Is done or better said, that which is not done, for all those our word Is this: "They must, firstly, piny, secondly, pray, and thirdly, continue to pray. We Invite them ull to pray and persist In their prayers." Mankind until now, said his holiness, has "talked too much and too uselessly."

Defendant Says He Was Home at Time Crime Was Committed. EVIDENCE EY CARTON OVERRULED BY COURT (Staff Cnrrtsixindf nt) JBEEHOLD, Dee. 23 I'ranklyn P. Gratz, 23, Sea Bright, who has been In the county jail since last August charged with an attempt to break in the Sea Bright postoffice, was acquitted by a jury before Common Pleas Judge Harry Truax yesterday. Assistant Prosecutor J.

Victor Carton appeared for the state, Charles Frankel, Asbury Park attorney, represented Gratz. The defendant was charged by the postmistress, Mrs. Jane Garland, with having attempted to enter the post-office Aug. 13 about 9 o'clock in the evening. She testified that heard a scratching noise at a wire door and upon investigating declared that she saw the defendant cutting the wire.

Gratz was arrested by Police Chief Andrew Anderson later that evening at his home. Joseph Fary, another witness for the state, testified that he saw Gratz about the place at the time the alleged crime was committed. Gratz dclared that he was home at the time that the alleged crime occurred, but admitted that he had been out of the house before that day. Time after time on cross-examination Carton endeavored to introduce testimony which would prove that the defendant was under a federal indictment charged wtth stealing money from letters. To this Frankel objected and his objection was sustained by the court.

Mrs. Gratz testified that her husband was in the house at the time the post-office entry was attempted. After Frankel and Carton had summed up the case Judge Truax in charging the jury, in one phrase said, "It seems to me from the evidence that the defendant may have been at the door, when he was alleged to have been seen." He added that if there was a reasonable doubt in the minds of the jury as to a mistaken identity, on which the defense based their claim, the Jury should return a verdict of "not guilty."

The Ford charges, subjected to analysis today, were filed by William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor. Asking prosecution for law violation, the report held that Ford employes had been denied the right to choose their own representatives for bargaining with the employer and added that "either the government is supreme or the Ford Motor company is outside the pale of the law."

With their two special coaches appropriately decorated with red and green streamers and Christmas trees the members were all In the proper holiday mood. The first coach was temporarily remodeled as a buffet, where every member of the club could obtain a sandwich of any description together with a beverage to his taste. During the ceremonies President H. "Bert" Tolen, Wanamassa, and William E.

Beattie, Wanamassa, the club's treas urer, were presented with silk umbrellas as tokens of the club's appreciation of their untiring efforts towards the success of the new club. William Ronca. Deal, the club's secretary, was appropriately presented with a fountain pen. Several other members of the club were recipients of gifts of lesser value but of more significance. Alex Spencer, Brielle, received a 20 pound turkey sold on shares by the club.

Ticket 26 twice 13 brought Spencer his Christmas dinner in part at least. Ira Whyte, city passenger agent of New York, came down with the boys last night as he generally does and added to the prevailing holiday spirit wilh a donation of cigars.

The Central railroad of New Jersey as its Christmas gift to the club placed a large glass enclosed panel in the first coach to hold a copy of the club's motto which is "Start and end the day with a smile."

The members of the Jersey Shore Commuters' club likewise held a little celebration in its special coach while coming down last evening. Refresh ments were available to all members and to put it mildly a good time was had by all. Most of the members who use the club's special coach in the morning must have stayed in the city to do some Christmas shopping as the special coach was considerably lighter than usual. However, what they lacked in number they more than made up for in spirit. Those present included Jake Doll, Asbury Park; Teddy Beekman, Ocean Grove; Joe Lahey, Ferdie Von-Hoflman, Kenneth O'Connell, John Plate, Arthur Kelly, Russel Van Kirk, Sam Strassburger, Interlaken; Otto Gillig, Dick Strong, Cy Longstreet, Bill Strode, Joe Worthington, Charles Hendriekson, Red Bank; Edward Batchelor, Cortland White, Harold Bowiie, Shrewsbury; Dick Ballin, Fair Haven; Ernest Linburn, Long Branch.

With true holiday spirit the train crews were not forgotten. The Jersey Shore Commuters club and the Jersey Coast club each made a substantial gift to their respective train crews including the engineer and fireman. Collections were taken on mostall of the trains for the purpose of a cash donation to the crew. Charles Hendriekson, veteran Jersey City lawyer who makes his home in Red Bank, was receiving the congratulations of his fellow commuters on Thursday as a result of his 61st birthday. The genial lawyer has been practicing before the bar in Jersey City for the past 35 years.

For the last 24 years he has been commuting to his office daily from Red Bank. Hendriekson says he is making a collection of birthdays and hopes to ebtain a lot more. His fellow commuters join him in hoping that he will. The hours spent on the train are to him the most enjoyable ones of the day, Hendriekson stated. The taxi drivers and other bystanders at the Red Bank station stood with bowed heads Wednesday evening when one of Shrewsbury's prominent commuters dropped and broke a gallon jug of alleged applejack.

The unfortunate one's fellow commuters remarked that it was indeed a shame to suffer such an accident after carrying the package home from New York. Dick Barry, Branchport, won the electric clock raffled off by the Jersey Shore Commuters' club this week. Arthur Kelly, Interlaken, held the lucky number on a drawing for a hammered silver smoking set. Otto Gillig, Red Bank, is entertaining a few of his fellow commuters with a dinner this evening at his Red Bank residence. Otto has a reputation along the shore equal to Oscar of the Waldorf.

Henry Muller, Long Branch, arranged to have two large pastries put on the train at New York for him last evening with the understanding that he would meet the train at Long Branch to get them. Dfck Case, the all-accommodating brakeman from Point Pleasant, took the pies off with him at Long Branch but Henry was not to be found. Last evening the pies were resting at the Point Pleasant station. Charley Laug. Neptune, failed to get his car started Thursday and was forced to use the train from Bradley Beach to New York instead of only from Red Bank to New York which is his normal schedule.

"Doc" Ralph Cottrell, Interlaken, made himself a Christmas present of a new car. The depression must be over. Bill Maurer stated that Doc's new car looked like one of Texas Gulnan's cars which were recently sold at auction. Mayor Riddle of Manasquan varied his evening routine last evening to visit Newark catching his usual train at that point. Just a little special Christmas IKNN Dec.
