the recent Ftate penitentiary revolt
here. The; rebellion of the prisoner la

Fifteen convicts were flogged today.
Nine were whipped yesterday, three
fainting from pain and loss of blood.
The punishment will go on until all the
men who participated in the rising are
punished.
Entreaties Wot Beard.
Ths entreaties of the victims are Said
to fall on deaf ears. The warden, the

When the prisoners have had enough.
The trouble started when the convicts
protested against the prison fare. ''It
is rotten and not fit for even dog,"
they wrote In their complaint. The
prison steward said:
"The victuals are good enough for
convicts. We will continue the fare."
Then the convicts mutinied in the din
ing room and it was necessary to call
out state militia to restore order.
Punishment Used in Mexico,
The punishment is similar to ihat in,

Cost of Constructing Bridge 'Over Columbia River, Connect
ing Portland With Vancouver, Wash., Less Than $2,-
ernment to Be Asked to Aid
A cost estimated by Engineer Ralph
Modjeskl of less than $2,000,000 for the
interstate bridge between Portland and
Vancouver and that divided between
Washington, Oregon and Multnomah
county with a prospect of federal aid,
has given new and vigorous life to the
campaign for the span that Is to link
two stales and connect an Important
producing area with the Portland mar
ket. Mr. Modjeskl submitted his report to
the interstate bridge committee at a
meeting held in the green room of the
Commercial club yesterday at 2 o'clock.
This meeting will be followed by an
other of Washington and Oregon sen
ators and representatives with inter
state bridge advocates in Seattle. Oc

federal aid.
It was reported, that Secretary of War
Stlmson was traveling up the Pacific
coast toward Portland and Vancouver,
that his Inspection of Vancouver bar
racks would Influence his recommenda
tion as to Whether Vancouver should hi'
made a bridge headquarters and that
this recommendation would have In
fluence In determining whether the gov
ernment would be in a position to aid
t!i bridge -project for iU facilitation
of transportation.
Briefly Mr. Modjeskl reported:
Cost Given at $1,987,900.
That a bridge with 36-foot . road way
would cost $1,987,200, this being less
than his' first estimate of the cost of
a bridge with 24-foot roadway.
That the location should be between
the foot of Washington street In Van
couver and the extension of Patton ave
nue to the river shore near the present
ferry landing.
That no tolls should be charged the
public for use of tho bridge, but that
maintenance and so forth tie met, aside
from rentals charged the street car
company, out of the public fund.
Frank B. Hlley, chairman of the In
terstate bridge committee, presided at
yesterday's meeting, lie outlined the
plan for submitting bills for bridge ap
propriation at the- next, sessions of tho
Washington and Oregon legislatures.
Since Oregon could not constitutionally
pay uny part of the cost of the bridge
on Washington territory, it will be rec-
