TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, APRIL' 0. 1920 SI FRANCISCO MY LOSE CONVENTION Democratic Leader Says Oak land Will Be Proposed. COMMITTEE TO DECIDE Dissatisfaction With Accommoda tions Is Reported Anions . Chieftains in Party. CHICAGO. April 8. Fred Lynch, rational committeeman from Minne sota, said here today that dissatisfac tion of democratic party leaders with the convention accommodations at San Francisco will be aired at the national committee meeting: here April 20. when a proposal to move the conven tion across the bay to Oakland will be presented. SAX FRANCISCO. April 8. The statement of Fred Lynch was called an "lnaccuracy"by Postmaster Charles W. Fay, who was one of those most prominent in bringing the convention here. "The delegation headed by Lynch already has secured Its quarters in this city," he said. "Furthermore, as I understand it, the committee is to meet for the purpose of putting its stamp of approval n the arrange ments made for the convention in San Francisco. . I have heard of no dis satisfaction with the arrangements here and most certainly I am in a po sition to hear all complaints. Arrusencati S early Complete. "Arrangements for the convention Irtually have been completed and I cannot conceive of the committee overturning them now." George F. Mara, assistant to Homer S. Cummings, chairman of the demo cratic national committee, who has been here tor some months perfecting convention plans, is in the southern portion of the state. At his office It was announced that no inforatlon had been received there of any proposal to change the convention from San Fran cisco to Oakland. "The matter is settled," said Gavin McNab. one of California's leading democrats, and who figured promi nently in winning the convention for San Francisco. "Abundant hotel accommodations have been provided for all delegations. As to jealousy between delegates as to the choice of accommodations, that would be impossible to avoid," he added. Accommodation Held Ample. Concerning auditorium accommoda tions, he said: - "If it were possible to provide an auditorium sufficiently large to ac commodate all those who wished to attend the convention, it would be , futile, for they could not bear any thing." OAKLAND, Cal., April 8. Oakland has an auditorium in which 16,000 can be accommodated. It has the largest stage in the west and more than 25 committee rooms. Oakland has first-class hotel ac commodations for epproximately 3000 guests. Berkeley and Alameda can take care of 1000 more. Second-class accommodations amount to about 1500 guests. IS VANCOUVER IjAKJE PROJECT . IS DISCUSSED AT HEARING. Both Friends and Opponents At tend Meeting Engineers Report on Survey. VANCOUVER, Wash., April 8.- (Special.) The superior court was crowded today with friends and op ponents, at a public hearing before the Clarke county commissioners. M. E. Carson, Abe Miller and J. P. Kig gins, on the project of draining Van couver lake, four miles from this city. J. G. Poysky and Mr. Jessup, engi neer sent here by the government to make a survey of the proposition, were on the witness stand and both held that the project was feasible and desirable. It has been proposed to drain the lake by diking at a cost of about $70 an acre to reclaim about 9000 acres of land. The entire project would cost 8600,000. A, L. Haley represented the oppo nents of the drainage project and read the resolutions adopted by the city council the port of Vancouver com missioners, the Vancouver chamber of commerce and Pomona grange, all of which are opposed to draining the lake. The Grays Harbor Lumber company has purchased 300 acres, part of which borders on the lake, and there the company proposes to erect a sawmill and power plant, using the sawdust and refuse from the mill for fuel. N. J. Blagen, president, opposed the drainage of the lake, declaring it would not leave enough water in which to float the large supply of logs necessary to keep the mill in operation.

Historical and legal precedents were martialed to support this view and the writings of authori ties on international law quoted at length. Other speakers quoted other authorities and precedents and main tained that all that was sought was to end legally a war that had In fact ended long ago.

Senate Action Uncertain. Representative Flood, democrat, Virginia, leading the opposition, had not determined tonight the form the motion to recommit would take. Pos sibly it will contain instructions that a substitute resolution, more accept able to the democrats be reported back by the foreign affairs commit tee, but there was no anticipation that such a move could be put through. There was nothing to indicate when the senate would take up the reso lution.

BATTLE BRISK BUT BRIEF Shots by Detectives and Desperate Fight to Liberate Four Mem bers of Outlaw Ganj. NEW YORK, April. 8. (Special.) In two desperate attempts to rescue four members of the "blue limousine auto bandit gang" friends of the con victed men attacked the prison van in which the men' were being taken from the county courthouse to the Raymond street 4ail, Brooklyn, yes terday afternoon. - During the first attack 14 men rushed the van and were driven back by detectives. When the van reached Fleet place and Fulton street, one of the busiest spots in Brooklyn, two men, who looked as if they were members of the gang, made a rush for the van. One grappled with Joseph Kelly, who had driven the van for 27 years, and the other tried to wrest the reins from his hands. Drawing his revolver Kelly fired sev eral shots but missed and the men escaped. Shoo Quiet Gangaters. In the meantime the four gang sters, Louis Mango, John J. McDonald, John G. Biggan and Richard O'Brien, and five other prisoners in the van were making a desperate attempt to gain their liberty. They subsided when they heard the shots from Kelly's revolver. Policemen in the neighborhood also heard the shots and rushed to the assistance of the aged driver but the would-be rescuers had made their escape before the police arrived. Kelly finally succeeded in landing his charges In the Raymond-street jail without further interference. In the meantime a general alarm had been sent out for the arrest of the leaders of the rescue parties. It is believed that the gangsters wished principally to liberate Louis Mango, aged 19, of No. 66 Crystal street, Brooklyn, who was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment by Judge Dike earlier in the day in a scene of excitement in county court. He was the leader of a gang of seven men ar rested on March 18 as they were crossing the Williamsburg bridge. presumably to commit robberies. Tumult Follows Pleas. The courtroom tumult took place when the four men pleaded guilty. xney were arrested by Captain Dan iel Carey and Detectives Patrick Knowles, Charles Battalora. Thomas Carroll and John Dowley. When ar rested two guns .vere found on the men. All but Biggan pleaded guilty to grand larceny in the first degree. Biggan pleaded guilty to burglary, third degree, as he was the only one of the quartet who had not been in trouble before. District Attorney Lewis ursred Judge Dike to give the men a limit sentence, saying they were four of the most desperate characters who had come to Brooklyn to commit crimes. Mango, who is said to be the leader of the 'band, constantly lnter- ruptea Mr. Lewis and had to be silenced by his own counsel. Judge uiKe asKed the rour men who it was that suggested the cr.,:ies. Al. of them took the blame. Comvlct'm Requent Granted. "If you don't want to tell the truth you cannot get any consid eration, said Judge Dike. "I will sentence you Monday." lou sentence me today. I don't want to wait until Monday," replied Mango. "All right; that's one favor I will grant you." said Judge Dike. "Ten years in Sing Sing." Mango flushed at the sentence and as he was being led away he turnea around to Judge Dike and said: "You dirty , you're no rood. You never were any good and I did not expect anything better from you." Then, cursing and swearing. Mango was dragged out of the courtroom by two court attendants and detectives. During Mango's tirade Judge Dike and District Attorney Lewis sat Qui etly. Search Reveals Revolver.

He was taken before Judge Dike, who ordered the revolver taken from him. Tom Mango replied that he had a per mit to carry the weapon. Judge Dike then ordered the permit taken from him. Mr. Gilchrist asked the court to reconsider the sentence. "Yes." replied Judge Dike, "I never expect to look at that face again ex cept to preside at his trial should he withdraw his plea of guilty, and my only regret is that I could not sentence him to a longer term in prison."
