The Navy Department official who have charge of public Works are much inter ested in the effect of the law relating to tion of such work to eight hours a day. It is estimated that this requirement will mean an increase of from 5 to 10 per cent in the cost of public works. Instruc tions have been given to those in charge of work at the navy yards to see to it that there are no violations of the law and that all such occurrences are reported prompt ly and specifically to the Washington au thorities. The law for the present is in terpreted in th Navy Department as applying only to the work itself, and not extending to the production and prepara tion of the material which enters into the construction of naval public works. In the specifications which have been com piled lately, an addendum gives special warning of the requirements of the new law and what is expected if government officials.

Uy its Third StrMt, Portland, Ore. r hlrrlra to meet keary (Scrlpps News Association) Milwaulkee, Wis., August 17. Under the auspices of the Badger Club Aurelio Herrera, the Mexican boxer, is to fight Charlie Neary, tSe German boxer, this evening. Herrera and Neary are to fight eight rounds and Herrera is to receive $1000 for his trouble, whether he wins, loses or fights a draw. It is believed that Herrera will put up the fight of his life and that there will be r.o draw this time. Neary and Harrera have fought three draws, two at the Panorama and on in Grand Rapids, Mich. The fourth time they were to have met was in Butte, Mont, on July 4, of last year, but the au thorities stopped the battle in the first round. Herrera has lost a great deal of his popularity since the fiasco with Nelson at Los Angeles, but he is still a hard hit- ting'fightei and may be depended upon to give a good account of himself this time, particularly, as he has a personal grudge against Neary. As the Eagles are hold ing their convention here this week, a large attendance at the fight is expected. According to the arrangement with th principals, th sixty per cent of the gate ree6,pts wl" be d,vided ttwen tn""' KID ERWIN MATCHED Kid Erwin, the clever 1 26-pound boxer has been matched, to fight ten rounds with E.

Among the fair sex the big battle has createa a splurge of interest, and they will never be con tent till they' see the" fight for them' selves.- Dispatches say that scores of application have been received by Tex. Richard, president of the club, from women in th mining camps who wants seats at the ringside reserved for them. At first Richard wasn't going to ac cede. Then he thought that if the dears were so anxious to see the fight as that why not let them do it? Therefore the women will be privileged spectators at the great prize-rimr battles. The favorite? With the fair sex, of course. There could be no other favorite than the Batter, most attractive of his sex. Nelson's blue eyes and fair hair have sent the Goldfleld girls into rap tures. "Oh, the dear thing. 1 just hope he will win" these and others are some of the sentiments that sour him nn Under such conditions could a man very wen fake, even if he wanted to?
