WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 3. =.
Congressman Burnett of Alabama, who
has charge of the Honolulu federal
building bill in the House, feels GER
tain that action VIII be taken before
Congress adjourns, though it is quite
possible that the bill will not come up
aniil just before the session ends. The
Ifouse Committee on Public Buildings
aid Grounds has made number of
changes In the measure which passed
thE Serate, aiii IL Is likely that they
will be agreed 10 by the House and
later on viii be- modified when the
matter goes to conference.
One OF the important sections which
las been stricken out is that provld-
iEg for the repayment of the $35, 5,e1G
y lich was sui,sc -il,r.l an,l usel for
:he opening nf Bishop street. This
wss done mainly through fight made
iii the committee by Congressman Will
liam A. Ashbrook of Ohio. It is like
ly, however, that this will be changed
wien the bill goes to conference and
rsarly certain that half the money
mentioned, If not all, win be refunded
under the provisions OF the bill when
it is finally pa ssed
This bill Is now Oh the unanimous
consent caleEdir and may be brought
up on September z, but, being Sen
ate bill, has IN especially good chance
to pass, even If 1t does not get
through under unanimous consent, as
such bill may be brought up In the
last three days, through n special
rule. while House bills are compelled
to wait over. Mr.. Burnett, with whom
r. w. Single of Honolulu has had a
number Of talks, Is favorable to the
general features of the bill. 1t is safe
to say, however. that he Will insist
that the Mahuka site shall be put upl

NOW
Claimed FOR 4
HOUSE NOMINEES

Four Republicans nominated for the
House of Representatives in the pri-
mary last Saturday are likely to claim
their election in the primary, and thus
bring up for definite decision a ques-
ton that has been given varying in
terpretations by different legal auth
critics here.
Clarence H Cooke, William T. Raw
Inns, d. p. R. Isenberg and Norman
Watkins all received large votes in
the primary and while the official re-
turns are not yet In, Republican lead
ers say that they secured majorities
of all the votes cast. Unofficial but
probably quite accurate returns give
Cooke 1885 votes, Isenberg 1885,
Rawlins and Watkins 1859.
The direct primary law provides
that candidates receiving at the pri-
mary a majority of all the votes cast
are forthwith elected and need not
run again in the general election. On
the other hand, the Organic Act spe-
cifies that members of the legislature
are to be elected at day in Novem-
Der, thus apparently fixing the No
vember date as one on which the can
didates must be balloted for.
A nice point of law arises as to
whether the direct primary act pass
ed by the last legislature does or
does not nullify this provision of the
Organic Act. The Organic Act fur
ther states that its provisions regard
ing election may be amended by an
amendment to the election law, and
the new question then arises IL the
primary law is an amendment to the
law.
Secretary of the Territory Thayer,
In his former capacity as attorney
general, held that members of the leg
islature could not be elected at the
primary.
If the four nominees who received
majority votes in the fourth district
decide to make fight to be declared

STEELE RESIDENCE
 |SDAMAGED BY FIRE
Captain Johnson Hurt When He Falls From Second
 Story Window

Fire of unknown origin badly dam aged the residence of J. M. Steele at 1911 Fourteenth avenue, north, about 11:3O o'clock yesterday morning and slightly damaged an adjacent house. The total fire loss was estimated at about 5000, and is said to be covered by insurance.
 One of the regrettable features of the North Highlands fire was that Capt. K. k. Johnson of the flying squadron was seriously bruised and shaken when he slipped and fell from the second story of the burning residence. Captain Johnson fell a distance of about 80 feet on his head and shoulders and only by reason of the fact that he landed on some soft dirt that he escaped serious injuries At that he suffered a broken finger and serious bruises about the face, hands and shoulders. He was un- conscious for several moments follow ing his accident
 Fire compa mics Nos. 5, g and Il an- swered the alarm at the Steele resi- dence and after about an hour of work had the blaze under control. Much Of the household effects in the residence of Mir Steele were rescued by the fire men.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Italian Language In Singing

To the Editor of The Age-H erald.
 Tn this mornings Age-Herald was pub lished letter from Mr. Gunster, taking issue with me on several points brought out in a recent interview
 MT. Gunster's courteous attack and able answer reveal the fact that he is sincere in his desire to correct a possibly errone- ous impression. The amusing part of the episode to me is that I agree with him in almost every detail and see that we are accidentally auibbling over a use of terms.
 It is very difficultrto avoid a misun- derstanding of remarks made during a brief interview. Had I ampified or elab- orated my ideas at all, I am sure MT. Gunster would not have been the first singer to differ with me. As it is. he has picked me up a technical point, and put me in debt to him for an af- firmation of the simple truth I asserted.
 Very naturally indeed. not only MT. Gunster, but others of the singing pro fession. at first thought would feel that l had uttered blasphemy by saying that There is no Italian methed.s That by itself does sound like pretty bold statement, but added, there is the won derful Italian language, every word of which is song" Possibly to a matter of fact mind, the language was a bit in terperate, but let me explain. From the point of view of the professional, details are far more marked than they appear to the layman, and minute changes may constitute important differences. The lay man who stands off at distance sees things in perspective as it were I cheer fully admit that there is a system of rules, which if followed. will produce the finest singing. Let me ask, however what makes this system the best, and where did the great masters of the Italian school get the basis for their method. Like all great discoveries it rested on very simple princple-the Italian speak, ing voice. Scientists tell us now that the Italian language is beautiful because the whole speaking apparatus of the average Italian, is almost perfectly developed. The natural law works always on the line of least resistance. Speaking is nat ural to us, but each separate language makes it's individual demand upon the speaking apparatus. The Italian language

ID ROB SAtt FRUSTRATED
Watchman At Jaffe Iron and Metal Go. Plant
 Drives Robbers Off

A daring attempt was made about 3 o'clock yesterday morning to blow up the safe of the Jaffe Iron and Metal com- pany at Eighteenth street and Ninth ave- nue, north but the "yeggmen were frightened away by the watchman who fired his pistol several times at the flee ing marauders. It is thought that one of the would-be robbers was struck by . bullet.
 The attempted safe robbery created considerable excitement about the vicinity Of the yards of the company. 1nvestiga- ton disclosed that the attempted rob- bery was engineered by three men-two of whom worked on the safe while a third acted as lookout for the watch man. The safe was thoroughly "soaped' with nitroglycerin and the fuse was laid ready to be lit.
 Then the s'loolk-out'' was instructed to attract the attention of the watchman while the men inside the office blew the safe. The Outside man succeeded only too well in attracting the watch mans attention for that vigilant official drew his pistol and started shooting. This 80 disconcerted the safe crakers' on the inside that one of them dived through an office window and carried sash and all to the ground. The '.yeggmen'' all man. aged to make their escape to their down. town headquarters.
 According to the detective department these ''yeggmen' are nothing but vag- rants and tramps and amatenrish in their work They will only attempt to blow the safes of country stores where there is little danger and little money to steal. In the six safes this gang has blown up in the last several weeks they have secured only about s100 in money and no valuables. In fact the explosions have caused much more damage to the stores than the actual money stolen.
 The detectives maintain that the req son none of these "yeggmen' are appre- hended Is because of the out of the way places they select to blow up a safe. Ii is asserted that there has not been a safe blown downtown since the Drenner job several months ago. and the de tectives maintain that such bold rob. bery could rot be perpetrated by the present gang" of second-class safe rob- bers now making Birmingham their head quarters.
