QUAKE E'SEXTENT IS
 NOT YET MEASURED
Impossible to Calculate How Many Hundreds Are Dead
 From Italian Disturbance
By Associated Press

Rome, September 8.-Italy is again suf- the extent of which has not yet been measured. It is known. however that hundreds of people have been killed and thousands injured. Many small towns and villages have been wrecked, and although assistance is being hurried from area, there is much suffering for want of food, medicines and shelter for the people, Though not so great, the present disaster recalls the distant tragedy of Messna.
 It is not yet possible to calculate how many hundreds are dead--the list up to this evening shows close to 400 already reported. There are many bodies under the ruins and there are injured also under the ruins who have not been reached by the rescuers. There are be- lieved to be many thousands of injured; the hospitals have already received about 800. and 300 others have been taken to other hospitals near Spezia.
 Improvised hospitals composed of tents are caring for many others-nobofy knows how many. The injured and the homeless are thankful at least the weather keeps fair, but at night it is very cold especially on the mountain slopes,
 All Glasses are combining their efforts to render aid. Monarchsts as well as republicans. socialists and even an- archists are Hooking to the scene of the erathuuake from the bigger cities Spezia. Florence, Luca and Modena.
 Survivors describe the shocks most terrifying. The air was filled with chok- ing, blnding dust so black that the sun was lost to view.
 "It seemed like the end of the world" peasants say.
 The great towers of medieval castles were shaken and partially destroyee. was the summer residence of Napoleon's sister was seriously damaged.
 MORE SHOCKS FELT
 dozen additional shocks have been felt in the afflicted region since the first one. further increasing the terror of the population. Fortunately no fresh disa sters are reported. Telephone com munication with Massa Carrara is in terrupted. Al Pisa the inmates of an asylum for the insane were terror-stricken and tr'ed to escape some of them succeeding Prisoners clamored to be freed, but were calmed when they were transferred to Ia laree court ward. wher liner was lit He danger of the walls falling on them. I1p to 6 o'clock tonight the number of dead reported was 327. although this is only approximate, for there are many bodies under the ruins. From scores or small towns and villages come reports of great destruction to homes. Some families were almost entirely plotted out and each place has it's toll of dead.

MINES EMPLOYING CONNECTS ORDERED
 ID CEASE EXPORTS
Told By Governor 10 Stand Ready to Restrict Market ing Coal to State of Ala
 bama Alone

Montgomery, September S.-Four
 coal mining corporations of Ala
 bama, employing state convtcts in
 their coal mines, were notified To-
 day that no part of this output
 shall be exported beyond the con-
 fines of the United States during
 the bituminOus coal miners strike
 in the Alabama coal fields. The
 companies were further informed
 to stand ready to restrict the mar
 keting of convict mined coal to the
 state of Alabama alone.
 The action was taken upon the order of Governor Kilby. who had received that many public institu- tions, schools and utilities had been unable to secure adequate supplies of coal for the ensuing winter, and Chair- man c. B. Rogers of the state board of control issued the instructions to the corporations involved.
 "In view of the limited amount of coal now being mined in the state," the governors letter to Mir Rogers said. with the prospect of further curtail- ment of the product resulting from the miners strike. condition which must inevitably bring distress to the people of Alabama increasing as cold weather I have deemed 1t expedient
 
 victs shall not mine coal for shipment to foreign countries. 1T con- ditions hereafter justify such action. It will be necessary to require that all convict mined coal be held for the sole use of the people of Alabama
 Although the state has no right to dictate to coal companies as to where they may find a market for their out mt if can say that convict labor can he used in mining coal only for cer- tain purposes, and contracts between the companies and the state Tor con- victs are revocable by the state with or u;thout cause About 1,200 convicts are now engaged in mining coal in the state. the average production being 5000 tons per day.
 c. B. Rogers, chairman of the board or control, notified the four coal companies of tbe Birmingham district holding con vict contracts of the new policy Wednes- dav afternoon, and informed them that if would be necessary 10 comply with the eovernor's order to the letter.
 About 2,950 tons of coal daily will be saved to the country if ar the convict mined coal has been exported Coal com nanies affected by the policy are the Sloss Sheffield Steel and Iron Company. Banner; Pratt Consolidated Coal Company, operating Flat Top; Bes- semer Coal, Iron and- Land Compsny, operating Belle Ellen, and Montevallo Mining Company, operating Aldrich. Ban ner and Flat Top produce about 1000 tons each daily, Belle Ellen 450 and Aldrich
