School for Teachers, Rogers Avenue
and Park Place. Il mao oeen arranged
by the teachers in the 18th Assembly

Emma l.. Johnston presided, and the
auditorium, which seats 800 persons,
was crowded. The doors were closed
long before the first speaker took the
floor, and an overflow meeting of al
most 500 persons was organized on
Rogers Avenue.
The principal speech of the evening
was made by Katharine b. Davis, Com
missioner of Correction, who addressed
the overflow meeting. She said that
she wasn't going TO say much about
votes for women. There has been
enough talk; the next thing IN order
is % give the women chance 10 show
what they can do with the vote. She
urged her audience TO write 10 their
legislators at Albany urging support
for the Nills-Hoff bill, designed to re-
