George w. Norris are said to be

For a week republicans have been

TRAINMEN NOT .
ALL FOR WILSON
Veteran Engineer at Columbus
Throws Doubt on Assertion
of Democrats.
QUESTION ADAMsoN LAW

Columbus, Neb., Nov. 4.-(Special
Telegram. )-Assuranc that the vote
OF the Nebraska trainmen is tucked
away in the democratic fold was ques-
toned by veteran Union Pacific
engineer, Joe Coolidge, here today
Acknowledging that an order came
to support Wilson, Mr.. Coolidge new
ertheless, asserts that the men are a
little leary about the Adamson law
being for their actual welfare, and
the best the democrats can hope for is
their usual rock-ribbed party men.
Of course, comparatively few train
men are opposing Wilson, but when
they reach the election booth it is
expected that the majority of them
will, as usual, vote republican.
Another trainman, veteran, how
ever, who is openly and emphatically
supporting the republican ticket is
Eber Smith.
Evidence that members OF the
Platte county democratic party have
not much confidence in their chances,
was shown by an election bet made
today between Dan Schram, promi-
nent republican, and several demo-
Gratis.
Schram was forced to put up $500
to the democrats $500. Schram
also has an even wager OF $500 on

The pathway of any man, any

seeks the easiest way out OF difficult
ties leads inevitably to disgrace and
dishonor," declared Mr.. Edeerton.
Nations must, like individuals, stand

VICE CONSUL IN RUSSIA
From a Staff CorresponAenl. }

tFrom a Staff Correspondent)
Washington, Nov 4.-(Special rele
gram. Victor H. Duras, a Nebras-
kan by birth, born in Wilber. vice
consul of the United States to Petro-
grad, has been arrested as a German
spy, according to information received
at the State department from the
American embassy in the Russian
capital. In consequence Of these ru-
mors, the family OF Mr.. Duras, espe-
cially his brother, {. o. Duras, who
was born at Crete, Neb, and now a
resident OF Washington and connected
with the patent office, has been NOV
ing heaven and earth to get further
details.
Vice Consul to Leige.
Victor Duras was appointed vice
consul to Leige. Belgium, in 1918
After the fall of Liege, Mr.. Duras
was transferred to Petrograd in a
similar capacity. Now comes the in
formation that he has bee arrested as
a German spy and imposter. On Oc-
tober "a the State department was adj
vised by cable from the mbassy at
Petrograd that on the 10Th, permits
sion having heen given Messrs. Dem
ing and Armour, secretaries OF the
American embassy at Petrograd, they
called on Duras in the presence Of the
Institutional judge.
The embassy reports that Duras
seems mentally unchanged and is well
physically. The hypothesis was ad-
vanced by the judge that Duras was
killed at Liege land the prisoner is
German spy and imposter"
Brother Not Dead.
In an interview with {. O., Duras
today. he said to The Bee correspond
ent that there was an awful mistake
about his brother being killed at
Liege, as he had received letters from
him since he reached Petrograd. He
said he had importuned the State de-
partment for further facts, but the de-
partment seemed entirely nonchalant
regarding the affair, notwithstanding
that an American life may be in
jeopardy. Having received no en-
couragement at the department to
seek additional facts, Mr.. Duras will
make an effort to get prominent cit-
zens Of New York interested in his
brothers case, and may even call on
Colonel Roosevelt for aid in saving
his brothers life, as he knows the
man arrested in Petrograd is not an
imposter, nor was his brother killed
at Liege.
