 KILLED IN TUNNEL
Result of Floods In Lisbon Total Fall of River Seine Ten Feet and Six Inches.
(Special from IJnited Press. ]

(OpOCIdI IrOIn OulI0Q @GT0SS.J
 Lisbon, Feb. 5.-AdviceS received here today state that as a result of the floods that have been prevalent all over southern Europe a tunnel be- ing built in the mountains in the Andalusian province in Spain col lapsed today, burying and killing 17 workmen. It is expected that it will take four months to clear away the fallen debris and continue the work.
 Paris, Feb. 5.-The total fall of the Seine since the recession began days ago, is today 10 feet and 6 inches. While there are still hundreds of basements and cellars flooded with water, the streets are practically free of water and within a week, about the only signs of the flood remaining would be the condition of the streets. Five thousand men are now at work in the streets and sewers and the number is being increased as rapidly as possible.
 The loss in Paris is now estimated by government officials at $180,000,- 900 and in other parts of France at $7O,00G,000. The loss sustained from interruption to business will bring the total far above these figures.

NO PAY FOR SICK FIREMEN Unless Their Illness Is Re- lated to Their Fire
 Duties
City Attorney May Be Ask ed to Decide Legality of Ruling of Fire Board.

The fire commission has stopped paying fremen for time off when sick unless the illness is the result of in- jury in performing fire duty. There are three f1remen who are ill at the present time from natural causes. It has been, the custom in the past to pay firemen who petitioned for their pay after being off duty. A member of the fire board said this morning: ''The iremen are as well paid as any firemen ip the country and when they are sick they get paid by the state at the rate of $2 per day. In addition
 many of them belong to some sick
 benefit organization and if they are able to draw their fire pay along with
 the rest it makes it quite tempting for man to be sick a little overtime" A fireman in discussing the matter said the courts had decided that the flremen were paid salary and that the members of the department were not
 to be treated as wage earners. Sev- eral or the Hremen are considering a proposition to have some member of the Common Council get an opinion from the city attorney upon the matter. The commission voted last night to
 one months back pay to Henry Kill leen of Mo- 3 truck company who was lnJuroQ ldSC CnflSCndS while perIOrfn- ing fire duty. He wrenched his right
 knee and leg. If the injured man is off duty another month the commis- sioners decided that he file another pe- tition for back pay. Killeen's claim was supported by pr. G. $. Ford, the department physician and pr. Wat son, family physician.
 There will be no charges brought against Substitute George Eek. Capt. James H. Long who reported that Eek had failed to Hay in'' a line of hose
 when ordered appeared before the
 board last nieht and stated that there
 was possibility the driver did not
 hear the order. The driver was giv- en the benefit of the doubt. As for
 the breaking of the spokes out of a wheel in an accident the driver ex-
 plained that the team he was driving
 was a pair of told skates that he could not keep moving fast enough on
 the slippery ice to keep from being pushed down by the heavy vehicle they were drawing. >'
 An applic2 tion for membership in the department was received from John c. Bowers of Is Carson street, a stationary engine fireman by trade.

TURKEY WANTS
 TO RULE CRETE
Special from United PressD


 Constantinople, Feb. 5.-The Island of Crete must eventually belong wholly to Turkey or Greece if it is to be removed as a cause of strife between these two countries in the opinion of leading Turkish diplomats. The pres ent plan, whereby Turkey is given a nominal sovereignty over the island while the actual administration is left 10 the King of Greece, who is ex-ffi- cio the high commissioner of the is land, will always be provocative of trouble, Turkey believes.
 The plan of a Turkish commissioner undertaking the government of Crete is proposed by Turkey and will be pre- sented to Greece shortly. In view of the fact that Greece will probably re- fuse to agree to such a proposal Tur- key will go right ahead in the work of strengthening her military forces. Hadi Pasha, the comma in-chief of the third army corps, has been summoned to Constantinople for a conference re- garding the strengthening of the from tier forces.
