BEET SUGAR MEN SUPPLIED.
WIN Be No Need for Hands to Help
Harvest Kansas Crop.

There will be no Macedonian cry.
for help in harvesting the Kansas
sugar beet crop. So says T. B. Gerow.
state free employment agent.
'sI wrote q. letter to the mayor Of
Garden City. and to the officials in
other cities and counties where sugar
beets are being raised, and asked them
If they needed men to help in the
sugar beet harvest. or IN caring for
and cultivating the beets. I have re-
ceived no replies asking for help.
Therefore I conclude that the beet
fields are being taken care of. and that
Whatever extra assistance has been
needed has been secured from the
men who have finished their work in
the Kansas wheat fields. I will ask
for no harvest rate to the beet fields,
nor will I send men out there unless
specially requested TO do SO. It may
be that our department can be Of. ser
vice to the individual beet raisers in
supplying men when there is special
need.

lie ADMITS MURDER.

The Topeka police made a good
grab" last night when they landed
Nick Manduric. a fugitive from Kan
sas City. The Topeka officers pulled
this Austrian. who is wanted in Kan
sas City for murder, from a Rock Is
land freight train after he had easily
eluded a Kansas City detective who
had chased him to Lawrence.
About $3.50 last night the police
received a telephone message from
Lawrence. Detective Clark, of the
Kansas City force, had chased a for
eign murderer to Lawrence and
there lost him It was strongly sus-
pected that the fugitive had boarded
a freight train on the Rock Island.
The Topeka police had just Is min
utes to catch the train at the Santa Fe
junction, on the eastern edge
of North Topeka. The wagon
was hastily manned, and the
run, through spring breaking holes,
was made in time. The officers
spread out along the train, and cap
tured Nick Manduric as ne attempted
to unload. He proved to be a half
witted foreigner, who did not realize
the enormity of his crime, but he had
no difficulty in eIevating his hands.
Inside his clothing was found the
murderous dirk knife with which he
had stabbed and killed Thomas Rutell
at 1904 West Ninth street, Kansas
City. Mo. on the night of August 4.
TIE victim died next day in a KAN
sas City, Kan. hospital Saint Mar
garet's. After being stabbed Rutell had
run one block and fallen in a dying
condition on Kansas soil. Thus the
crime was committed in Missouri and
the victim died in Kansas. which may
raise some legal complications in the
trial of Nick Manduric.
After the stabbing the foreigner ran
away. Yesterday Kansas City detec-
tive located him in Lawrence. The
enough to get away. The detective was
almost ready to grab him in Lawrence
! last night, when the man saw the Off
GERS surrounding him and hastily board

nered and captured at Topeka. the first
mitted stabbing the man in Kansas
City but being short on the English

The detective who arrived few
hours later, and took him back at
o'clock this morning, readily identified

When the man was taken from the
| freight train last night, he seemed sc
