IIS THE RESULT OF PLEAS

Approximately $46,525, in increased ! pay "for teachers in Richmond public schools, was added to the school budpet for 1920-'21 at a recent meeting of the board of education, it was announced Monday. . These increases have been written into contracts for next year, which will be sent out within a few days. Details of the 'budget are not yet ready for publication. In addition to increasing teacher's pay,- the board of education decided to lengthen the school year from nine to 10 months. This will become ettective in 1920-21. "This extension will prove of great benefit both to pupils and teachers. The curriculum is crowded and the added month of school will enable the work to be done more effectively and rasilv." said, a member of the board, Monday. "The added month's salary will increase the te'acher's yearly income and will reduce the summer vacation period by one-third. Teachers receive no pav during the summer vacation," he said. Bobbins Thinks It Acceptable. Bvram Rohbirts." counsel for the Teachers' Federal ion, said floes not. know whether this that he increase j will met with the recent demands of the teachers. However, the federation merely asked for a fair living wage. ' This increase added lo the extra month's salary will probably prove acceptable, he said. Following the presentation of the straits to which teachers of the city, county, and state and nation had been reduced, some time ago. the local teacher's federation, decided to ask the board for an increase. After several meetings, the federation fixed a flat increase of $500 as being a just oner and through the attorney presented the request. Agreeable to Public. Public sentiment has been generally that something must be done to stop the flow of teachers from the professions into others paying more, and to reward the faithful ones who hare etuck to the profession through loyalty. , Many cities, towns, and counties of the state have already taken such action, and it is being taken wherever the subject is presented. "Individual increases on contracts have not been figured yet," said Superintendent Bentley, Monday. prebleIady for TUESDAY PRIMARIES EATON, O., April 26.

WET ISSUE BOBS UP

One of the hottest fights waged within the ranks of the Republican party in Ohio in years is expected to be decided in the state-wide presidential primary tomorrow when Senator Warren G. Harding, senior United States senator from this state, and Major General Leonard Wood, contend for Republican preference and the delegation to the Chicago convention. Senator Harding's estimate of General Wood was contained tn his speech- a few nights ago at the coliseum, when he said, "one of his opponents was over in Ohio, wasting his time," but close observers predict a hard fight, with a large -vote. A complete list of candidates for districct delegates and delegates-at-large, pledged to Senator Harding, is on the ballots while candidates for delegates pledged to General Wood, have been entered in all except three of the districts, and two candidates, avowedly for General Wood, are running for delegates-at-Iarge. The . Harding candidates for dele-gates-at-large are former governors Frank B. Willis and Myron T. Herrick; Mayor John Galvin, of Cinvinnati and H. M. Daugherty. an attorney of Columbus. The Wood dele-gates-at-large are former Attorney General Edward C. Turner of Columbus and Attorney William H. Boyd, of Cleveland. Four are to be elected. Proressives for Wood. In general the Wood organization is headed by men who were prominent in the Proressive party in 1912. Senator Harding's campaign for the most part is in the hands of men affiliated with local party organizations. While there -re no distinct sets of Wood candidataes for delegates in the two Cincinnati districts, the candidates in these districts are pledged to harding as first choice and Wood as second choice. In the three Cleveland districts the Harding candidates are pledged to Senator Hiram Johnson as second choice while ..the . Wood candidates are pledges to James R. Garfield: second choice. - -..'-- So far as the Democratic party is concerned Governor James M. Coi has a clear field without opposition, for all- candidates ; for delegates are pledged to him. Loca 1 conditions, however, have resulted in contests for district delegates in a few districts. In the Sixteenth district (Canton) the wet and dry queston was brought forward as an issue and resulted in several candidates being entered. Wet and Dry Contest. Though all candidates for. delegates the democrat ticket are pledged to on Governor Cox, local conditions have re sulted in contests in a few districts. By reason of the few contests on the Democratic ticket, party leaders expect a light vote to be polled. Republican state headquarters, calling attention to the fact that only 27 per cent of the Republican strength in 1916 was represented at the primary, is urging countv organizations to make all possible efforts to get the voters out. The contest between General Wood and Senator Harding, however, is expected to bring a much greater percentage of Republican voters to the polls than will be represented by democrats. Harding Men Confident. That "state pride has asserted itself" is the claim of Harding managers, who made public Monday a summary of reports received from regular committees in every congressional district. Each one is seen as carried in the voting Tuesday, without, exception. A summary of these reports for counties near Wayne follows: First and Second Districts (Hamilton County) "Harding will carry First and Second Districts by from 8,000 to 10,000 for all Harding delegates." Third District (Preble, Montgomery. Butler) "Harding sentiment growing by leaps and bounds and all reports gratifying. Farmers are almost unanimous for Harding, and he will have a sweeping majority. Wood management concedes election of Harding delegates." Fourth District (Allen, Mercer, Auglaize, Darke, Shelby and Miami) "Harding will carry every 'county in this district by a large majority." Firemen Can Wear Corduroy, Is Board of Works Ruling On account of the high price of uniforms, the board of works granted the city firemen Monday morning, permission to wear corduroy or other material in place of the expensive regulation outfits.

Reports that the Adriatic question, including the disposition of Fiume. would be settled by the San Remo council in accordance with President Wilson's program appeared from San Remo advices last night to be at least premature. It was stated last night that the settlement proposed by Premier Nitti, although following generally the lines of President Wilson's note of December 9, varied from it by including a constitution for the buffer stat of Fiume, to which both the French and British premiers objected, considering that it limited too largely the character of the new state. Premier Nitti, it was said, was Informed by both the French and British delegations that Italy either should accept President Wilson's plans or abide by the pact of London, which gave Fiume to the Jugo-Shvvs. The council began its work today with the intention of finishing its remaining labors before nighL The premiers had i mportant decisions ta make, chiefly those concerning the form in which the note to Germany, setting forth the allied position with regard to execution of the treaty of Versailles, would be drawn, and theAdriatic settlement.

jto a sympathetic civil rule. Zionists are represented in San Remo by Benjamin Cohen of Chicago, 111., who came from Palestine with Dr. Chavjrn Weizmann. president of the world Zionist commission, there. "Zionism, as a political movement, has ended," said Mr. Cohen today. "With the creation of a national Jewish home its work now is the development of Palestine and the bringing there of Jewish immigrants from eastern Europe. This development will be largely agricultural. "Palestine now has a population of 700.000. In the time of David it had 2,000,000." Jews in Russia, Poland and Rumania would be glad to emigrate. "The plans of these Zionists are that we shall work with the hands rather than with the brain, as the Jews have been doing for the most part in other portions of the world. It will be an interesting social experiment. It will not be socialistic, but I think it may be called social. "America. I think." added Mr. Cohen, "will have to supply most of the money until the new state gets going. While some of the expenditures will be productive, others will be unproductive."
