II was working then for a concern whose

had dealings with one hlan who always

He never had enough to pay all that was

We are all liable TO make mistakes. For

BUSCH TELLS OF BOODLING
Former State Senator Makes Sweep ng
Confession in st. Louis.
INVOLVES NAMES OF PROMINENT PEOPLE
Desire for Peace from Mental Torture
Drives Him 20 Tell All He
Knows of Legislative
CrOOkedness.

ST. LOUIS. May 15.-Unable to bear the
strain OF mental torture which he says he
has suffered since the grand jury investisa-
ton into legislative boodling was instituted,
former State Senator Fred i. Busch went
before Circuit Attorney Folk this afternoon
and made a complete and far-reaching con-
fession OF his connection with corrupt deals
extending over a period OF eight years,
Busch's declarations involve several men OF
prominence, and he names those who have
been conspicuous at the state capitol as
distributors OF Doodle.
Later Busch was taken before the grand
Jury, where he remained an hour. When he
emerged from the jury room tears were
rolling down his cheeks. With his face
buried in his handkerchief. he hurried down
the steps and made his exit.
II viii give YOU until Monday to tell all
you know about ~boodling." was the ultt-
matum which Circuit Attorney Folk served
on the former senator the other day.
A right. Mr.. Folk replied Busch. II
will think it all over. II has worried me a
good deal"

IT am willing to tell everything" said
former Senator Busch to Circuit
Attorney Folk. IT have bodied practically
from the FIRST week of the 1889 session. In
1897 1 received money for voting for the
school textbook bill. p
In 1889 Schweickardt paid me $3.50 for re-
fusing to call up a resolution demanding
that certain bills be reported. l got $500
for my vote on the 81. Louis transit bill. l
received a salary from the lobby to a
care Of the railroad and other legisla-
ton, usually amounting to about 500 for
the session. AS near as I can inquire l
made about SIS, 900 out of my legislative
experience. No one knows how much l
suffered during the past few weeks. l
an sincerely sorry"
This, in substance, is a part OF Busch's
written statement made to Circuit Attorney
Folk. He has corroborated much of the
confession by former Senator schweick-
hardt. Busch's confession is far more de-
tailed that than Of sc~hweickardt. He
goes much more deeply into the work
!ngs OF the corruptionists who have ng-
ured in legislation in the past Ave
years. Busch was first elected to the state
senate in 1855 from the Thirty-thlrd dis
trict OF st. Louis and served three terms.
schweickhardt was before the grand jury
again today. Before entering the jury
room he told Circuit Attorney Folk OF

during his term as senator.

ADROIT METHODS OF DUNNINC
Women Collectors More Successful Than
Men in Securing Money.
SOME INSTRUCTIVE EXAMPLES OF NERVE
.SlOwpays of Experience and Wide
Reputation Chased on n
Block and nduced to
Settle Up.

At IL o'clock the man on the fifth floor
paid the bill. At u o'clock everybody In
the building knew he had paid it. Also,
everybody was surprised, because the man
had boosted many times that he would
never pay 1t. FinaiIy curiosity got the bet
ter Of discretion, and one OF his ~neighbors
asked him why he did it.
Because they sent a woman collector
around" was the reply.
That did not explain the case to the UNI
initiated, but it explained 1t to one other
man. who also had the habit of running
up bad debts.
They've done me the same way he
said. Nowadays the minute 1 see a wo-
man collector step inside the door 1 begin
to write checks. l can't help myself
Therein lies the virtue of a woman col
lector. There is a compelling force about
her that makes people write checks. Not
all women nave that golden gift. Those
who have were born with it. All women
can spend money; only a few can collect
It. They who can collect can also earn.
They may not, entirely usurp the place OF
men as collectors, but there are many Arms
that will gladly give them a job. Those
firms generally number several deadbeats
among their custom srs. Women have a
special talent for dealing with deadbeats'
Cynics affirm that their success I'm that
line is a practical illustration of the theory
that Il takes a rogue to catch a rogue, but
that is a libel. Women are good collectors
because their training in wheedling money
out Of mankind for generations has fitted
them for just such work. The deadbeat
and his forbears have cultivated a type OF
feminirity capable Of outwitting him. and
the best thing he can do to square himself
is to pay up.
Not a WheedIeF.
Still, II is not fair 10 the woman collector
to give the impression that she owes heI
success TO wheeling. She makes her points
in a strictly legitimate way, but the legiti'
macy OF her methods 10 often so impreg'
mated with her own personality that sh'
leaves a creditors once with money In hei
pocket. whereas a man would be turned
away without a hearing. II takes a con
hrmed sinner to hold out against the nm
ished woman collector. Her eyes NIX hin

You are keeping back money that be

Busch named several senators who pro-

are members OF the present assembly.
He broke down twice while conferrins
with Mr.. Folk. and, weeping bitterly. said
Il am telling these things only 20 ease my
mind"
Going back to the thirty-eighth assembly,
when the bill to create a school book COM
