SOUTHERN STATES
BlANK[TtO BY
SNOWSIORM
Weather Bureau Records For
Years Are Broken
SIX INCHES IN GEORGIA
Some Cities Visited. by First Snow
of Any Amour. in More Than
Dozen Years

The South and Southeast last night
shivered in the grip OF a general
snow-storm which blanketed The At
lantic seaboard as far south as south
ern Georgia and reached to the gulf
states. Weather bureau records for
from s to 20 years were broken. Fall
ing temperatures accompanied the
s.crm in many sections, the snow
turning to sleet.
The heaviest snowfall was reported
IN Georgia, Louisiana and Mississip-
Up, South and North Carolina. At Ma
con, Ca, the precipitation reached a
depth Of six inches, while an almost
equal amount was reported at Angus
Ia and Savannah. In Louisiana and
Mississippi The snow began falling
about noon and at nightfall 1t had
been recorded from trace in the ex-
IRENE South to six inches In the
northern section. Thermometers at
New Orleans, Mobile and ether gulf
points lowered about tho freezing
point and the snow melted as 1t fell
While snow fell in southern parts of
North Carolina, low temperatures in
the northern section Of the state as
well as in Virginia and Tennessee
caused the precipitation to be very
light.
Snow fell over a large portion of
Mississippi and places in Louisiana
yesterday, affording residents of that
section of the country an unusual sight
1t was much colder on the gulf coast
and sleet fell, but no snow. The
heaviest fall reported was a Laurel,
Miss. where the ground was covered
with a six-inch layer with more COM
ing down. Fruit trees and garden
products probably will suffer as the
thermometer registered 80 degrees or
lower almost to the coast. A light
snow fell in New Orleans yes :erday
fer the first time since 1908. The
snow melted as fast as it fell.
For the first time in something like

WHITMAN INTENDS
TO TRY BECKER
ONCE MORE
Will Not Take Responsibility of
Turning Him Loose
is LOOKING FOR EVIDENCE
District Attorney Endeavorlns to Sc
cure Confederation of Certain
Testimony

New York, Feb. 25.-District Attor-
ney Charles S. Whitman will not per.
sonally assume the responsibility OF
letting Charles Becker go free on the
charge of numbering the gambler,
Herman Rosenthal, it was learned to-
night. At least It was indicated that
the prosecutors present intention is
to move for n second trial Of the
former police lieutenant whose con-
yiction as Rosenthals slayer was set
aside by the State Court OF Appeals
yesterday.
1t was reported today that MIR.
Whitman feeling that he could not
secure n second conviction owing to
the wording OF the higher courts rul-
ing concerning evidence presented at
the first trial, planned to seek Beck
er's indictment on the charge OF ex-
tortion and bribery instead, basin5
his allegations on information that as
head of the strong arm" squad Beck
er mulcted gambling houses.
Mr. Whitman tonight. however, de.
MED he had such move in mind.
Interest centered tonight on what
hope the district attorney might have
of finding witnesses TO corrobcrate
the testimony OF vaion, Rose and
Weber who at the time OF the pros
ecution of Becker and the gunner re-
ceived immunity on their promise to
tel the truth.
Schepps' testimony was In effect
held by tho higher court to be that Of
an accomplice.
WALTON late today broke tho long ST.
lence he has maintained since Beck
er's conviction and denied it was he
who fred the ehot that killed Rosen.
thai. Valon's statement was made
after Becker In Sing Sing today had
declared he thought WALTON was the
slayer.
Becker is pretty smooth" said Val
len, land his object In accusing me is
plain. He hopes that the accusation
and his expressions OF sympathy will
influence the four men In the death
house to think he is going to do
something to aid them. His idea Is
that as long as he can make them
think he is their friend they will not
confess and give information implicat
ing him to the distric. attorney"
Mr.. Whitman tonight said regard
ing WALTON that no evidence was ever
presented at his Office that WALTON fir
ed the fatal shot. "The reports were
intound.' he said. THE highest court
in he state has decided that the con-
viction of the gunner stands and
that they committed the murder"
Becker VIII be brought there from
Sing Sing death house late tomorrow
or early Friday and placed In the
Tombs pending new trial or the
quashing OF the murder indie .ment.
His counsel said tonight that the
decision of the Court of Appeals auto
matically restored Becker as a men,
Der Of the police department under
suspension. II was reported also that
If the murder indictment should be
dismissed. Becker's counsel would
contend that his suspension would be
thereby litter automatically.
