Water and Healh Departments
 At Odds Ouer Cut in Service
Tenants, Whose Landlords
 Fail to Pay Bills, File
 Complaints and Get Quick
 Action.

In an attempt to bring pressure to bear upon landlords who are delin- quent in paying water rents, the board of water commissioners has ordered service cut off in a number of dwell lings. and in response to complaints by the tenants. the board of health commissioners has, in some cases, or- dered the water board to restore serv- ice.
 The water board some time ago adopted this means of bringing in slow taxpayers. but apparently did not anticipate that the health board would be called upon to exercise it's powers in the matter. Shortly after the first service was cut out com plaints began 10 come into the health department and orders were promptly issued.
 It is explained that the water de- partment has the right to cut out water service where the rentals have not been paid. unless such action gives rise to an unhealthy or insani- tary condition. Many times the ten- ants are no. responsible for the fail- ure Co make prompt payments. since the bills are sent to the owners of the property. When they complain, the health board acts in their inter eefs.

AMERICAN FLAG
 ON EMBASSY LAWN
Someone Makes Present to Germans-Police Called;
 But Who Did It?
Ry The Assonlated ptess.

By The Associated Press.
 Washington. Feb. 6.--Some time be. tween dark and daylight this morning an American flag on a slender flag staff was planted on tho lawn of the German embassy which on instructions from Berlin has failed so far to half mast its German colors for Woodrow Wilson.
 This morning the stars and stripes had been removed again from tho embassy grounds. but both the man. ner of the flags appearance there, and the exact story of its removal re- mained somewhat of mystery.
 The police reported that they re- ceiyed a telephone complaint regard ing the invasion Of the embassy property, which technically is German soil. They did not know from whom the complaint came. Embassy officials said they made no such complaint and refused to discuss the subject fur ther. whether any member of the po- lice force had taken the flag away was not clearly established. That the Ger man embassy did not, like other diplomatic missions here, haIf-mast its colors for the dead president, aroused resentment among some American Legion officials, who declared they would ask the state department to take action. During the night fl is as- stunned that a small group of men or some individual who had been arous- ed by the incident took the matter in hand in themost direct way.
 It was said by those at the embassy that Mir. Wilson was regarded as a private citizen and that therefore the Berlin government saw no reason to pay him the funeral honors due the head of a foreign state. It was for that reason, if was declared. that the German flag had not been raise at all over the embassy since Sunday. Late yesterday, however. after the situation had been noiscd about Washington and had created something Of a sen- sation the embassy changed its mind. and announced that after 1z:s0 ?. m. today it would raise is nag and tie it at half-mast.

EEACJA 77ON OF VERA CRUZ
 BY REBELS LIKE 4 PANIC
 XSAlMERICAN OFFICIALS
INSPECTOR RESIGNS
 OVER SALARY FIGHT
Other City Employees May Follow Inspector Cur
 tins Lead

The first resignation to result from the common councils refusal to in. crease salaries came today when Electrical Inspector Cyril J. Curtin served notice on the building com. mission that he wishes to be excused from service in that office after March 1.
 Inspector Curtin raps the common council in his letter to the building commission, pointing out that he took the job at a low salary with assur- ance that an increase would be made with the next readjustment of salary, and he asserts that the common coun- cil declined to carry out the city's side of our agreement"
 The retiring inspector is an cleo trician of eight years experience and has worked at his trade in this city and in Staten Island. New York. He conducted an electrical contracting business here several years ago. He plans to engage in electrical work after March l.
 Curtin's letter to the commission is as follows:
 Chairman I. WeXler,
 Building Commission.
 City.
 Dear Sir
 ''Feeling as I do, that the salary connected with the office of electrical inspector is not nearly commensurate with the amount of work that proper execution of the duties of that office require, I hereby submit my resigna- ton as electrical inspector, and ask that it become effective March 1.
 When l assumed office it was with the understanding that the niggardly salary connected with the position was low, only because the office was going through the experimental stage, hav- ing been established only short time prior to my appointment. Upon as- surance that an increase would be granted with the next readjustment of salaries. I agreed to take the place at the pennrious salary provided.
 Although the National Under writer's Code has been adopted, in- creasing greatly the work of this of- flee, and this fact together with the under which I accepted the place were made clear to the common council, that body declined to carry out the city's side of our agreement, and for this reason, in justice to myself, I must ask 10 be cx- cused from service as city electrical Inspector after March I.
 Respectfully. ......

MINERS ARE LOST | IN FLOODED LEVEL
 Pond Runs Into Works and fl Men Are Killed
 BUT SEVEN SURVIVORS
Water Will Re Pumped Out, An Oper- alton Which May Take Months, fin Search For Bodies-Organizations Take Care of Widows
By The Associated Press.

| By The Associated Press. Crosby, Minn., Feb. 6.-Collapse oI part of the bottom of swamp lake | sent a torrent of water into the Mil | ford iron mine near here late yester. l day and snuffed out the lives of fl | miners caught like rats in trap. More than 150 feet under ground the AS miners were working when | with hardly a warning. water burst through the roof. flooding the mine within 1 5 minutes to within few feet of the top ol the shaft. Alarmed at the first rumbling as the earthen roof and timbers gave way. seven miners near the shaft darted up the stairs to safety but their fl comrades, caught in the muddy swiriing waters met almost instantaneous death. The first check up last night in- dieated that of the normal crew of 55 men, 49 had been in the workings, but the final figures announced early today by company officials put the number at AS and death list at Al with seven survivors.
 These survivors are Harry Hosford, at first reported dead; Jacob Ravan- ich. Emil Kainu. Frank Pravatin, Jr., whose father was drowned; Carl Frausand, Mike Zakatnik and Matt Kangas. Kainu was the last survivor to leave the workings. High powered electric pumps, rushed here from Duluth were pumping water from the muddy swamp lake and the mine to- day and mining experts said the work ing and the lake bed must be emptied before it would be possible to remove the bodies.
 Water from the mine is being pumped into Island lake a quarter of a mile away. Between this lake and the mine shaft lies the mud lake from whose waters penetrated the mine workings, causing the worst mining disaster in the history of the Minneso- ta iron ranges.
 Mining experts said today that the drift of the Milford mine, which is on the cuyuna range and produces man ganese ore, did not extend under the lake and they believe the water had worked subterranean passage to the roof Of the mine and the pressure finally crushed in the roof.
 May Take Months to Clear
 Tho pumps at work now are draw ing out the water at rate of 12,000 gallons minute and experienced min- ing men say it may require weeks, perhaps months. to free the imprison- cd bodies.
 Organizations of the villages here- abouts and the American Red Cross have taken over the work of minister ing 10 the widows and orphans of tho victims and everything possible leaders said. is being done for their comfort.
 The victims ranged in age from 2s

InsuTection Broken

By Tbe Associated Press.
 Mexico City, Feb. 6.-War depart ment officials declare that with the flight from Vera Crut of Adolfo de la Huerta, the backbone of the insur- rection against the Obregon govern ment has been broken.
 De la Huerta is believed to be head ing for Merida, capital of Yucatan. This is indicated in various wireless messages sent from his steamer signed "J' containing final requests ''instead of orders to the rebel military com- handlers in the Campeche, Yucatan and Tuspan regions. Similar wireless requests have been intercepted signed by Judgc Prieto iaurens, chief poli- teal lieutenant of de Ia IIucrta and president of the Coopcrista party. Prieto Laurens in these messages gives his title as deputy" instead of chief of supplies" which position he held in the so-called revolutionary government at Vera Cruz.
 Vera Cruz Oce.ipicd Soon
 Following the smashing success gained by the federal column under Gen. Martinez the war department be- lievos the occupation Of Vera Cruz it. self will not be delayed beyond the end of this week, pending the repair Of portions of the railway torn up by the fleeing enemy. It is believed the rebel forces still remaining in the Tuxpam oil region and in the Isth- mus of Tehuantepec will not be able to make effective resistance. since they were weakened in furnishing re- inforcements for the defense Of Vera Cruz.
 No official information is available regarding the whereabout Of Gen. Guadalupe Sanchez the military com mander-in-chief Of the de la IIuerta rebellion.
 With the capture of Cordoba the federals were enabled to complete theird military line including the rail- way to Santa Lucretia. San Geronimo and Salina Cruz. thereby isolating the Vera Cruz movement from the other affected regions Oxaca and Jalisco. The operations intended to result in the capture Of Jalapa and cut off the revolutionary leaders operating in the Tuxpam oil region from Vera Cruz are continuing.
