LIBEL SUIT FILED
PENSACOLA JOURNAL IS SUED FOR
 BIG SUM.
N. Goldrfng, a wholesale And Retail Liquor Merchant, Takes Exeep- tions to An Editorial fin The
 Pensacola Paper.

Pensacola, Fla, Sept, 22--(Special)--- A libel suit in the sum of $20.0O0 against The Journal Publishing Com pany. is the result of the prohibition campaign now being waged in-@this county
 N Goldring, wholesale and retail liquor dealer and who is the proprietor of five saloons located in various sec tions of the city, has brought the suit against the paper. His allegations are that the paper in a recent editorial criticised him personally, and he has brought suit to recover personal damages.
 His attorneys, when asked on what grounds the suit was based, replied that recently the paper in replying, to an article by Otto GoldstulSer, father in-law, of Mir. Goldring stated that the latter was proprietor of five saloons. which '.are commonly called dives. Beyond this, the attorneys stated thai they did not care to be quoted.
 The article in question appeared in the local morning paper on Thursday. The portion referring to MT. Goldring and which caused much interest here, was as follows: many people do not know who Mir. Goldstuker is, or why he is taking such an unusual interest | in keeping Pensacola wet. It may serve to Identify him in the public mind when we impart the information that | he Is the father-in-law of N. Goldring. Why he Is, may be readily seen when 1t is seen that son-in-law Gondring, | is the proprietor of five barrooms, | commonly called dives in Pensacola, and claims to be the biggest shipper into those countries which have made it a crime. for son-in-law Goldring to do there. what he does with immunity here. Knowing now who he Is and why he is, 1t ought to be reasonably plain what Mir. Goldstuker's motive Is. With prohibition in Escambia county, son-in-law Goldrngs five barrooms, commonly called dives. would have to be closed up.r The suit, coming at this time, when the interest In the prohibl-
 tion fight Is at fever heat has caused l much dScusSion.

Many Bodies Found.
OF these victims six dead bodies
had been taken from Mine No. & at
midnight last night and 65 others
were piled up in the entry awaiting
completion of facilities for bringing
them to the surface. From Mine No.
s at the same hour fourteen bodies
had been removed and a number OF
others are ready to be brought out as

to each party, are working at different

400 Lives Lost.
Clarence w. Watson Of Baltimore,
president of the Consolidation Coal
company, after comforting with the
mine superintendent and other local
representatives of the company, said
there was no doubt but that 400 lives
had been lost.
while nothing definite is known at
this time." said President Watson, ito
fudge from the small volume Of smoke
it is evident that the diaster was
caused by the explosion Of dust, which
was probably ignited by a pocket of
gas or a blowout shot"
Explosion Was Terrific.
The explosion occurred shortly after
10 o'clock yesterday, after the force of
over 400 men had gone to work in the
two mines affected. These mines are
located on opposite sides Of the West
Fork river at this place, but merged
in their u~ndergrounds workings by
a heading and on the surface by a big
steel tipple and bridge.
Evidence of the awful force of the
explosion is shown in every section
of the mines that has been reached
by the rescuers. Huge quantities of
coal and rock have beeen loosened
and hurled into every opening and
all of the underground structure is
completely wrecked.
Work Until Exhausted.
The American miners of the town
were placed in charge of the relief
work and the Italians and other for
eigners are working under them most
faithfully. The rescue forces are d.
vided to work in relays with frequent
~reliefs. Many relief parties have al

and heartrending.
Overwhelmed With Grief.
Wives and mothers and sweethearts,
together with children and members
of the stronger sex move from place

and making no attempt to conceal the
