Libel for $l,OOO,OOO Dam
age Filed
PAPER SERVED ON OFFICIALS
In Libel Proceedings 1t Is Charged
That Nantucket Was Proceeding at
Two High Rate of Speed In Fog.

Declaring the sinking of his vessel
was due to the negligence and careless
ness of those in command of the
steamer Nantucket, Captain E. E.
Johnson, commanding the ill-fated
steamer Monroe, filed libel against
the former vessel at Norfolk, Va. He
claims $1,000,000 damage. The libel
was filed in the United States district
court at this point and served on Off
cials Of the Merchants and Miners
Transportation company at Norfolk
and Baltimore. Nineteen passengers
and twenty-five seamen perished in the
accident.
Captain Johnson alleges that the
Monroe was proceeding at half speed
or less before the accident and had laid
to after hearing fog whistles.
He says the Nantucket came upon
him at such speed that collision was
unavoidable although he had ordered
his ship ahead at full speed to avoid
the on-rushing bow of the Merchants
and Miners steamer.
Wireless Operator e. L. Etheredge,
of the Monroe, declared that the lone
boat launched from the Monroe saved
twenty y-eight lives at one time and
went back for second trip.

Building In City for 1914 Has Good

The building prospects for Jackson
vile. Fla, during 1914 look particu-
larly good.
Last year was the largest building
year in the history of Jacksonville, and
every indication is that this year will
be-even greater. For the past several
years building has increased over the
preceding year, and that with the fact
that this month is greater than the
same month last year, is the base for
the statement Of that city's prospects
for this new year.
Permits have already been issued
for many new residences, small build
ings and for remodeling many struc-
lures. In 1913 two ten-story buildings
were erected, and If this year is to
surpass this record it will have to step
lively. These are the views Of the
commissioner Of the building depart
ment, and are based on good judgment
