Payment Follows Adjustment Plan
 By State Board
Average Sum Paid Sz.5O Although Some Received as Low as 10 Cents-7OO Benefit By Rebate Through Medium of Clerk N. J. Ryan

cation, stated that at present the stnte owes the teachers something on their payments to the pension fund, since the 10 per cent reduc- ton was made from their salaries The contract price is the basis on which the teachers pay into the pension fund and inasmuch as they have been receiving 10 per cent less than the contract figure but paying the full assessment on theIr full contract figure into tho pension fund, they were entitled to q re- fund.
 The amounts each teacher re- ceived to-day in refunds ranged from 10 cents to $5. But the average refund was s2.5O. accord ing to Clerk Ryan. Therefore, with TOO teachers receiving rebates the approximate refund amounted to $1,750. Although in most cases the amount of the refund was small the turn-back came at an opportune time and will help, it is believed, many of the teachers to meet expenses on various matters during the vacation period.

Ritchie portraits gazed down from all directions. | At the entrance of the headquar- ters hung large map of the Unit ed States. showing vast area in red representing Roosevelt dele- gate territory. Smith was asked if he had sene the map.
 "Yes, I saw it," he said. "As an exhibit. 1t looks good till you study 1t. The idea is not original. It was stolen from the Anti-Saloon League. When Wayne Wheeler went around to legislatures, he had similar map with the dry states lin blue. He got away with 1t until he came to Albany. I asked him what he was representing, acres or people.
 "You will find that Nevada with | 80,000 people, has six delegates. That's about half what an assembly district in New York state has. There Is a whole bunch of states In red which have less than 500,000 population.

 "Did you notice any states fin red that should not be marked for Rooseve1t?" Smith was asked.
 Well. there is Minnesota. They have Q contest on. There ought to be stop light on the map for that"
 How about New York?"
 That's q little mixed up for the time being. It would be appropriate to make that green. l forget what color they gave me. Brown, guess"
 Smith was asked if he had con- fcrred with Farley, the Roosevelt manager. :.
 Yes. going up in the elevator" Smith answered.
 "Did you ask him If he had any more bedtime stories?" Smith was asked. l.
 There was something like that but I said 1t with smile."
 He said he had no plans to see William G. McAdoo. but that he was not adverse to a conference.
 "I'm very easy to see," he added.
 He said he had consulted with no other candidate and indicated no interest in any combination.
 A persistent rumor circulated that Curry favored throwing Tam many Halls votes to Newton D. Baker, of Ohio. He said nothing would be announced before early next week. The New York dele- gation will caucus Sunday after- noon.
 Farley was asked about Smiths critical ana.yass of the Roosevelt map.
 q saw Governor Smith take q damned good look at the Roosevelt map last night" said Farley. "Of course, Gov Smith has a perfect right to make any statements he wants.
 "But tat maps absolutely corr rect with the exception possibly or Indiana which we colored red for Roosevelt. We learned later that there may be few Hoosicr dele- gates who don't support him" smilingly into the conference and remarked.
 ,"It looks like Roosevelt to the governor of Kansas"
 James Roosevelt, the governors son who is reporter for Boston newspaper. blushed when Farley introduced him.
 "I work for a good republican newspaper" he said, but I want to see my father president"
 Asked whether he had any "in- side dope.' about whether the gov- ernor would come to Chicago for the convention. Jimmy replied:
 No. l don't know whether he's coming. but I surely would like to see him."
