New York, Dec. 22 40 - Every ''cop" looks like Santa Claus now to Vincent Carney and his wife and four children.
 Tine dingy Carney flat in Brook lyn was much upset this morning when the head of the family was summarily removed to police head quarters,
 No prisoner was more solemnly welcomed than the puzzled Carney, whose arrival was awaited by a num- Der of high police officials. Before Vincent could inquire what he was wanted" for, Chief Inspector Mich ael A. Lyons handed him S1,324 in banknotes of all denominations.
 As Vincent's throat swelled and his eyes filled with tears, the chief inspector explained that 4000 Brooklyn police patrolmen and off, cials had contributed to the present ''in recognition of your fearlessness and bravery on the occasion of the attack of Patrolman Frank Dazkie- wics and Edward F. Byrnes by four desperadoes on Nov. 19."
 Carney had heard shots, rushed to the street where Byrnes lay dead and Dazkiewics, wounded several times, was clinging 10 one of the bandit gang with his last strength. trnhesitatingly.

DEATH PENALTY IS

Grove Mill Prosecute Cr0arkin
 for Murder

Chicago, Dec. 22.-LP)-Tive days after he beat siX-year- Walter Schmith 10 death with a black smiths hammer in the loft of a rid ing club, Harold Joseph Croarkin. 26, was indicted yesterday for nur- der. Since his surrender Sunday. Croarkin, the son of wealthy family, had been held In strict se- clusion without q formal charge, but yesterday. he was placed in the county jail.
 Five witnesses, including the father of the dead boy, and Dr.. Jacob Goodman. coroner's physician, appeared before the grand jury.
 The coroner's physician testified that the lad had not been mistreated and that testimony was accepted as bearing out Croarkin's confession that he slew the child in fear that Walter would tell his parents that Croarkin had tied to force him to commit an act of degeneracy.
 A plea of not guilty will be enter ed when Croarkin is arraigned, probably tomorrow, and a jury trial will be asked, the defense lawyers said.

CONGRESS- READY FOR ADJOURNMENT
Will Probably Quit Today to Resume Sittings Jan. 3, 1927

Washington, Dec. P Pl-Congress turned its attention today to the most widespread immediate concern of the American people and. inci- dentally. of large part of the world-the Christmas holidays.
 Members of the house, whose Christmas shopping has been inter- ferred with for two and half home last night with nothing to do today except to go through the for mality of voting to do nothing fur ther until January 3.
 In the senate, where the interior department supply bill threatened to cause a little serious considera- tion, the situation was a bit more complex, but nobody had much doubt that Santa Claus and not Vice-President Dawes was the real presiding officer, regardless what eye-witnesses might testify if plac- ed under oath.
 Since the session began. one of the ten annual supply bills for exc cutive departments has been passed by both houses and the measure providing salary increases for fed eral judges has been signed by President Coolidge. The supply bill which has gone through the two stages of legislative procedure makes appropriations for the treas ury and post office departments for the next fiscal years and is now in the hands of joint conference com mittee for adjustment Of differences in various provisions.
 In addition, the house has dis posed of two more of the supply bills, for the interior department and agriculture departments, and the senate Is expected to act on the former after the holidays. The house also has passed the alien pro- perty bill. which is expected to arouse considerable argument when it is brought up in the senate, where another measure that has produced volumes of controversy, the rivers and harbors bill, was passed last night. The rivers and harbors bill was passed by the house at the last session, but the senate has made many amendments and adjustments of differences in conference will be necessary.
 For good measure, the house has passed five bills making changes in postal rates and the senate has dis posed of the poison gas protocol for the time being by sending 1t back to the foreign, relations committee

GREEN IS FREED ON THEFT COUNT
Dry Agent Not Guilty of En-
 beZZling Liquor

San Francisco, Dec. 22 P-SiX- teen minutes after the fate of Col onel Ned NJ. Green. deposed prohi- bition administrators, had been put into the hands of jury, he was set free. acquitted of a charge of em- bezzling eleven bottles of confscated liquor for use at riotous parties.
 Thus did federal court jury yes terday dispose of the accusations against the distinguished soldier and dry law worker who admitted he was mo lily" who confessed to talk ing an occasional drink. and who told them he would have gone so far as to steal liquor for his sick friends if he thought they needed it.
 In freeing Colonel Green. the jury took a view directly opposite that of United States Judge A. r. St. Sure, before whom the case was tried. Earlier in the trial Judge St. Sure commenting on arguments of counsel in the absence of the jur- ors. declared he considered the evil dence sufficient to convict.
 The verdict also showed the jur- ors passed lightly over assertions of Assistant United States Attorney Eugene Bennett to the effect that de- fense witnesses had invited prosecu- tion for perjury because of the wide difference between their testimony garding liquor at parties attended by Green.
 A few minutes after the acquittal defense attorneys wrote telegram to Assistant Secretary of the Treas ury Lincoln c. Andrews, requesting the reinstatement of Colonel Green es prohibition administrator for northern California and Nevada.
 T feel that this has vindicated me entirely of charges of which I was innocent" was the former dry chiefs only comment on the ver- dict.
 Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant United States attorney gen. eral, who came from Washington to assist in the prosecution, left the court room without making a state- ment.
 The jury's verdict was the signal for an ol '',urst of applause, Col onel Green rushed forward to shake hands with the jurymen. but the court put peremptory stop to it..
 "Please pass out" Judge St. Sure ordered. "This is no reception"
 The speediness of the acquittal was in vivid contrast with the de- liberate charge of the judge to the jury. Speaking for 50 minutes, he

 Several other controversial sub jects have advanced in various ways during the brief period. kepubli- cal leaders have decided to silelNe all tax legislation for the session. but the democrats have not given up the fight to bring their reduction measure to the floor. A revised McNary-Haugen farm relief bill also has been introduced in both cham bers. showing a number of altera- tions but retaining the equalization fee principal which aroused deter mined opposition from administra- ton supporters at the last session.

Despite the progress made thus far. relatively little inn pression has been made on the long programs which confronted the members two and Q half weeks ago, anC Chairman Shell of the house rules committee, has just listed five more measures which are being con- sidered for legislative preference after the holidays.

 Put at S140S

Washington. D. C., December 22 The Department of Commerce an- nounccS q summary of the eXpendi- lures and indebtedness for public population of over 5000 for the fiscal year 1925. These statistics in c,ude only those for the public schools under the supervision of the city corporation or of the indepen- dent school district practically CO., extensive with the city corporation. The total population of these cities represents 35.3 per cent of the en- tire population of Continental United States
 Operation and Maintenance
 The payment for the operation and maintenance of the city schools for 1925 amounted to S571.S27,13S, the cost per person in these PAT cities being s14.03, and representing 37.5 per cent of the expenditures for maintenance and operation of all general departments of the cities. General departments. as the term is here used, do not include public works electric plants, or similar service enterprises, such as water public service utilities) The above payments do not include interest paid on bonds issued for school buildings, which, at four and one half per cent, would amount to ap- proXimately s39,000,000. So that the per capita payments for school operation, maintenance, and inter est for 1915 in these cities were ap- proximately s15.0O, while the cor responding payments for 1925 were only s6.0S per capita.
 For 146 cities covered by the re- ports of the Department from 1905 to 1925, the cost of operation and maintenance of all general depart ments has increased but the cost of schools has increased at much greater rate than that for other gen eral departments. The increase in cost of operation and maintenance for schools was S5.3 per cent from 1905 to 1915, and 209.4 per cent from 1915 to 1925: while that for other general departments was 77.2 l per cent from 1905 to 1915, and l27.0 per cent from 1915 to 1925.
