Atlanta. Ga, Feb. 25.-Fhe south | and southeast tonight shivered ia the grip of @ general snow storm which blanketed the Atlantic seaboard as far south as southern Georgia and reached to the gulf states Weather bureau records for from eight to twenty years were broken. Failing temperatures accompanied the storm in many sections the snow turning to sleet
 While no sdrious interruptions to traffic we're reported early tonight, many trains were behind their sched- ules in localities where the snow fall was heaviest.

AUTO RACES WILL
 BE HELD MARCH r
ST. PATRlCk'S DAY SELECTED AT REQUEST OF AMERICAN
 AUTO ASSOCIATION.
In Order Not to Conflict with the Postponed Vanderbilt Cup Race in California.

The date of the Hot Springs auto | mobile race meet has been set for ] March Y, St. Patrick's day, at the request of the American Automobile | Association. The original date was announced as March 3, but the post | pOning of the Vanderbilt cup race and the grand prize contest il Call- l foTnia on account of rain caused 1 conflict in the schedule of events and as the Hot Springs meet has at- | tHacted the attention of several of the noted daredeyils who are also en- tered in the Vanderbilt cup race the controlling body in automobile sport asked that the Hot Springs date be set ahead two weeks.
 With the races failing on st. Pat rick's day. the Little Rock and Pine Bluff motor fans will also be much better pleased, as they had also ask. ed that the date be made later in March and preferably St Puicks day
 J. A. Sloan. who returned from Chi cago yesterday wlere he went to sign up several of the big star nacing pill. o,s, reported more interest in the meet announced for Hot Springs than any dirt track championship event in a long time. He said the reason TOT this was that many of the grea. drivers who had heard of the train. ing conditions here through the ball players were convinced that it would be the place for them to get in con dition for the great S50000 sweep stakes race at Indianapolis.
 The drivers who are now on the coast but will ship east for the open ing of the speed sport at Hot Springs will be the first of the drivers to ar. rive in the city. They will stop over here long enough to take advantage Of the baths and at the same time take chance at the large cash prizes which have been announced.
 Two officials of the Stewart-Warner Speedometer Company are now at the Eastman and a request will be made that they send the electrical timing device to the Hot Springs meet Verne Nadal, who is now on inc coast timing the Vanderbilt and grand prize races, will he asked to come here to operate the electrical instru- ment
 Eddie Hearne, star member of the famous Benz team, and probably the greatest driver Chicago can boast,

DISTRICT ATTORNEY WHITMAN WILL NOT MAKE MOVE TO
 FREE OFFICER.
DENIES NEW INDICTMENT
Will Not Seek to Convict Him for Bribery and Extortion-Becker Would Like to Get Back on New York Police Force Again.

New York, Feb. 25.-District Attor- ney Charles s. Whitman will not per sonaily assume the responsibility of letting Charles Becker go free on the charge of murdering the gamb- Ter, Herman RosentLal, it was learn ed tonight. At least it was indicat- ed that the prosecutors present in- tention is to move for a second trlal of the former police lieutenant whose conviction as Rosenthars slayer was set aside by the state court of ap- peals yesterday.
 It was reported today that MT Whitman, fearing he could not get a second conviction, planned to seek Becker's indictment on a charge ot eXtortion and bribery. Mr. Whitman tonight denied he had such a move in mind
 Interest centered tonight on what hope the district attorney might have of finding witnesses to cofroDorate the testimony of Valon, Rose and Webber, who at the time of the pros ecution of Becker aud the gunmen received immunity OH their promise to tell the truth.
 Nallon late today denied 1t was he who fired the shot that killed Eosen- thai. This statement was made after Becker in Sing Sing today had declar- ed he thought Walton was the slayer.
 Becker is pretty smooth, said Vallun, "and his object in accusing me is pain. He hopes the accusa- tion 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 no, confess and give information implicat- ing him to the district attorney
 MT. Whitman tonight said no evi- dence ever was presented at his Of. flee that Nallon fired the fatal shot The reports were investigated and no corroboration was found," he said The highest court in the state hH decided that the conviction of the gunmen stands and that they com mitted the murder"
 Becker will be brought here from Sing Sing tomorrow or early Friday and paced in the Tombs pending ne Wtlldl or qudShlhE or Vne muf- der indictment His counsei tonight said the court decision automatically restored Becker as a member of the police department under suspension. His counsel say that his move, if he makes one, to get back as a police man will be to get a writ of nAln- damus directed against the police commissioner. Then he could be tried before a deputy and have an op- portunity to prove his innocence of an ycharge against him.

BRYAN FINALLY INSISTS THAT REMAINS BE SURRENDERED
 TO THE WIDOW.
URGES DELAY IN THE SENATE
Other investigations Of the KHlinq of American Citizens in Mexico are Under Way-Legation Guards to Go to Mexico City.

Washington, Feb 25.-The Mexi can situation which the last few days has centered chiefly on efforts to de termine how and why the ccnstitu tionalists executed Wm. s. Benton, q British subject, was broadened today when Consul Garrett, at Nuevo Lar edo. was instructed to inquire into the hanging by Mexican federals of Glenn. ente Vergara, an American citizen.
 The consul was directed by the state department to demand the body of the dead American from officers of the Huerta government in the vi. cinity of Hildalgo, Mexico, where Nergara was Killed.
 Earlier in the day Marion Letcher, American consul at Chihuahua, had been instructed to insist that Gen. Villa permit the delivery of the body of Benton to the widow for burial where she may wish.
 These with an explanation by Sec retary Bryan to the senate foreign relations committee of all the state departments information on the Ben ton incident and Mexico generally, constituted the principal develop ments Of the day.
 Gen. Villas message of last night offering to permit the widow of Ben ton or relatives and an American of ficial to see the body when eXhumed is taken by the American govern ment to mean that complete medical examination may be performed. Sec retary Bryan told the senators that the United States was insisting that two American representatives be per mitted to see the body and that one of these be an army surgeon. He also has made inquiry as to exactly where the grave is located.
 Gen. Villa late today had not re- piled to the last request of Secretary Bryan for the surrender of Benton's body but it is understood Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambassador for the present, will be satisfied if there is an opportunity for an autopsy to determine whether Benton was shot by a pistol or by rife bullets from a firing squad.
 It is thought the British ambassa- dor is anxious that evidence be ob- IdlhCu HbSls DtlltflHS ulotUSolOH Oi the disposition of the body can be taken up afteTward The same army surgeon who will be detailed by Gen. Scott at Fort Bliss to act with the British consul, Chas. A. S. Perceyal, when he arrives at Fl Paso, will re- port to the American government on the condition of the Benton corpse.
 The British ambassador had brief conference with Secretary Bryan early in the day and later was kept informed of messages received by the state department.
 That no change of policy in connec- tion with treatment of the Mexican problem was discussed in the senate with Secretary Bryan be- came known afterwards. It is appar- ent, however, that while officials are not preiudging the Benton affair and are waiting for facts, the danger to the safety of foreigners in northern
