Borough President Coler said yesterdays
Mr.. Metz called me UP on the telephone 10 let
me know that he was very much annoyed over
the statement with reference to my telephone
bills. and that he never made the statement at
tributed TO him. What has been done in this Of
fee with regard to the telephones IN the homes
OF the officials has simply been to follow out a
practice long established. Mr.. Swanstrom had a
telephone in his home under the same cfrcum-
stances have paid for all my private calls
as have my subordinates. and the bills charged
against the city were simply bills for the rental
OF the telephones themselves
IL is very often necessary that In department
which has supervision over all the buildings OF
the city and control over all the highways and
sewers public officials shall be called up
after office hours because OF accidents. etc. 1t IS
on this theory that the phones were placed In
the houses of officials whose presence may be
required because OF any such accidents. not
only pay out OF my own pocket for the private
calls my phone but also for any, except
strictly official calls. on the phones OF the Office.

HUNGRY FOR LEARNING.
Students VII Not Oppose Opening
of Russia's Universities.

st Petersburg. Sept. 6.-At meeting tonight
Of Social Democratic and Social Revolutionist
university students It was decided not 10 oppose
the reopening OF the universities which IS scheo-
uled for October Ia. thereby furnishing strong
possibility that the paralysis OF the educational
ufa Of the country. which has lasted for two
school years. may soon bs ended.
Many revolutionary students favored aban-
doning entirely the obstructive attitude. re-en-
teing the universities and resuming their studies
instead Of making the universities temples for
the revolutionary movement" which was the
motive behind the short and fruitless resumption
Of work in the universities last year.
Among the student masses there has grown UP
a feeling Of resentment against the tactics
which are depriving them of education and
determination to resume studies regardless Of
arv strike decisions.
