MEN NOE SATISFIED.
Railroad Brotherhoods Said to Have
Expected Larger Average.

x
Washington, May 10.-Protests
against the findings Of the railroad
wage commission began to pour into
Washington last night.
Members of the four brotherhoods,
it is understood, have sent to Director
General McAdco complaints that the
increased wages granted mean no IN
crease at all IN some classes of labor.
The increase is over the 1915 scale
and it is pointed out that large num-
bers OF the men have had advances
,e then and the new figures do not
represent the proper raise over the
present wage scale. In some Instances
the present rate Of pay Is sealed
down slightly.
Representatives Of the four brother
hoods refused point blank to discuss
the increases granted until Director
General McAdoo approves or disap-
proves the schedules. But some OF
them gave indications that they hop
ed for an increase above the approx
innate 2S per cent that has been NAMED
! for them.

NICARAGUA'S ARMY.
War Decree Thought Wise for Con-
troll Of Enemy Interests.

War Decree Thought Wise for Con-
troll Of Enemy Interests.
Washington, May 1C.-The State
Department received yesterday the
text OF the decree whereby Nicarauga
declared war upon Germany. It's
third clause provides for the imn7edl-
atc mobilization of the Nicaraguan
army and confers upon thc Executive
all the powers necessary to cope with
the situation.
This does not mean, in the opin!cn
of the State Department, that the
Central American republic is prepar-
ing TO send It's soldiers abroad. It IS
regarded as wise step in order 10
nrovidc means of control under mar
,ial law for the extensive German in
terests ana the many German agents
in the country.
The first article Of the decree de-
clares a state Of VIZ with Germany
and Ausr;a-Hungary. The second an
nounces that Nicaragua aligns hersel.
with the United States and with inc
other Latin-American republics which
have declared war upon Germany.
No specific causes for the war dec
laration are cited. Her acquisition
was welcomed here on account of the
Importance of the canal route through
Nicaragua. which might otherwise fall
into German hands after the war.

CHURCH WATER BILLS
To BE Collcced for First Time In
Many Years in Richmond.


Richmond May 10.-Because the
discovery was made when the finance
committee was reviewing and devising
the revenue sources for this year that
the exemption from charges for the
use Of city water granted for many
wears to churches of every denomina-
tion was in direct conflict with the
state constitution, all the churches in
the city are now on the water depart
mcnt's list of consumers.
Churches will be allowed the special
rate, however, fixed by the committee
ard the council, which makes the
charge Only nominal. Under the con-
stitution no religious institution may
be exempted from payment of charges
for water, gas or any other commodity
supplied by the city. Charit liable insti-
tutons. however, are not thus restrict
ed. provided they are undenom'n2!-
tional
BY cxempting churches from pay
ncnt for the use of water, cities in
all parts of the state have been v!o-
lating section of the constitution for
many years, which is more honored
to this day in the breach than in the
Observance. It is believed that other
cities will follow the example set by
the Richmond council and fix : nomi-
mi rate to be charged religious insti-
tutions for the use of water.
