Roy, 17-Year-Old Son of G. H. James
. Commission, Merchant, Loses His
Life While Bathing With Youth
full Companions. -.

1t has been many months since the
community received such shock as
was reports Of the drowning Of Roy
James, while bathing just above the
city, Saturday evening, about five
O'Clock. ... .'
t. Roy, who was the elder son Of G.
H. James, the we'll known wholesale
produce and commission merchant,
in company with Edward (Brother)
Fulks and Ruby Moss, was learning
to swim at the c. and o. transfer
Young James had contented himself
with padding near the bank >till he
was loaned a pair OF water wings
by Edward Fulks. With these he
ventured; further out into the river
and WAS apparently making progress
till the wings became detached. He
tried to,tonch bottom, but, being I'M
able to do so, became excited and
called to his companions for aid.
Young Moss, although much small
er than Roy, ask1Was Edward Fulks,
Inn nedtately went to his assistance,
and was grasped around the neck by
the drowning boy. Moss In turn seiz-
ed, as did Moss, IN freeing himself.
The boys cries ATTRACTED the atten-
ton of man who was fishing In a
boat near by, but when; he reached
the scene the murky waters of the

deep at that point
Every effort was made to resusci-

avail. The 20 minutes which had
elapsed since the waters rolled over

tinguish the spark Of life. The re-

ventiOn meets tomorrow there will be a
hard fight on the floor of the conven-
zion to modify the report of the creden-

thus avoiding two conventions. The anti
Dubois faction charges the Dubois fac
ton with using the machinery of the
party in seating both delegations for the

county was deprived of a vote on pre-
liminary organization was to further this
program. They charge that. having been
able 10 seat sufficient legal delegations

are willing to give Ada county its rights.
Bogus Contest.
The Dubois faction charges that il was
the anti-Dubois faction which inaugurated
bogus contests. The principal charge
against Ada coun<y was that some of its
delegates prosecuted contest against
Senator Dubois at Denver. Openly the
contest hinges upon the Mormon CUES
ton, Dubois threatening to disfrancf,se
the Mormons of the state, but in reality
the contest Is admitted to be one for con-
troll of the party machinery. Many lead
ing Democrats of the party are aligned
upon each side of the controversy. which
has grown intensely bitter. but with lit
tie danger of a repetition of the riots of
the Twin Falls convention which elected
delegates to Denver.
