 T declined to agree to this pro- posal the acceptance of which would have involved the abandonment, for the time being, of the methods of settling disputes provided in our industrial representation plan"
 Although formal notice of intention to strike August 1 was filed 30 days ago with the state industrial com mission in conformity with the state law. the actual issuance of the call was deferred pending the outcome of the conferences which broke up tonight and the exact date when the men will walk out, if the notice to strike is carried out, is as yet uncertain.
 The Colorado Fuel and Iron com pany employs between 5000 and 6,000 men in it's coal mines.
 The list of grievances submitted to the company contained 19, the first being recognition of the United Mine Workers of America. Most of the other grievances related to working conditions, including the eight hour day. One demanded removal of gun men from all camps, who are kept there to intimidate the miners and prevent them from getting or asking for fair play or justice
 Another grievance complained that the company had refused to check off one per cent of the miners wages at their request, same to be paid to the Red Cross during the war through the secretary chosen by the miners"

COCCH| GIVES
 GHAsTLYSTORY
 0F HIS CRIME
Republican A. p. Leased Wirc1

COLOGNE. Italy. July 27.-An of- ficial transcript of the interrogation in the Alfredo Cocchi murder case has Just been made public. Cocchi swears he was not helped by New York police, and says he confessed solely to Father Morretto. manager Of the Saint Refael society for Italian immigrants, New York, He declares he killed Ruth Cru ger with-a stick because she refused to cease calling for help. He did not as sault the birl before or after he struck her The slayer said he would not have killed the girl had she promised not to tell of the attack. He denies charges of his association vita policemen for unlawful purposes. or tha- he had an accomplice In the murder.
 The latter part of Alfreda Cocchi's confession of the murder of Ruth Cru ger at New York reads
 Tt is true, l killed her. For a week l had been constantly quarreling with my wife This day, the thirteenth, drank five glasses of wine to make me forget my family troubles.
 Tn a nervous condition 1 went to my shop about 1:20 o'clock when there immediately entered the girl who be- fore noon had left her skates for sharp ening. She was very beautiful and lost my head.
 When she went to the rear of the shop to get her sKaies without seeing me l barred the street door with a block of wood so that no one would be able to open it from the outside. Then I started to embrace the girl, but she was very strong and threw Tae back wards. I tried again and succeeded despite her resistance
 T picked her up and dropped her into the repair room below through square door feet first. holding her by the head and shoulders. All the while she was screaming police, police
 She fell about 12 feet below, strik- ing a motorcycle sidecar on her side but was ~not hurt. I jumjed after her she being again on her feet fighting and resisting with all her power. remember that before dropping her be- low I said to her please say nothing as have two boys but she continued shrieking for the police, although I do not believe any one heard her.
 When I joined her in the lower room my head was gone. tried again to em- brace her and kiss her, but again did not succeed, she was so strong. I re- lneHDtT Sllt was Oi SoiApiC@AiOil and stout of body, also that her hat fell off when I first attempted to embrace her.
 Finally, eXasperated by her resist ance, I grabbed in my left hand a stick of heavy wood a yard long and struck her twice or three times across the back of her neck, holding her with my right hand. She groaned and sank down, her head bathed in blood.
 "Horribly frightened and sorry, l would have killed myself had I had a revolver. Expecting to be discovered at any moment I took the yet warm body and dragged it into box in the left hand corner of the room"

morrow.
 The situation is serious" said
 James F. Moran president of District
 Mo- 15, United Mine Workers of
 America. No strike has yet been
 called and I have no means of deter
 mining just what the next move will
 be but it is more than likely that the
 men will walk out at an early date unless some development comes that will change the situation. There is nothing further for me to do with the present conference but to notify MT. Welborn that his proposition has been rejected"
 Chairman Hilts of the state indus trial commission said that he hoped to arrange another conference for g o'clock tomorrow morning but when the miners left the meeting they said they had voted to return to their homes. Whether they would agree to another conference tomorrow as sug- gested by Mr. Hits was uncertain to- night.
 The proposition which the union del- egates rejected was submitted by J.. F. Welborn, president of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company as a counter proposal to that of the men. MT. Well born said the company positively
 would not recognize the union and suggested a committee of four miners, one from each mining district, four other men representing the company,
 and representatives of the state indus trial commission as conciliation body. MT. Welborn in a statement given out tonight said: T agreed that every
 grievance, with the exception of the
 request for union recognition, should be investigated and adjusted satisfac- torily. or referred to the state indus

i 240,000, asks for appropriations to the amount of $8,673, 1868, 900 and the navy department estimating it's expenditures at $1200 900 900. asks for appropria tions of $1,324 17S,00G
 Total appropriations sought by all departments aggregate s11,651, ,193,993, l or nearly one billion more than esti- mated expenditures.
 Should this sum be authorized by congress with an additional s4,00O, ,0O0,- 900 for the allies, which would be nec- essary to keep up the present rate Of loans totalling s500,000,000 a month, the total to be raised for the current fiscal year would be more than $16.- GOO, 900, 900. It has been indicated that additional authorizations for the loans will not be required of congress until the new session begins in December.
 With estimated expenditures of $10,- 735, S07, 900 as the basis for computa- tion the following deductions from the total of estimated expenditures were made in reaching the s7.000, 100000 to- tai of new revenues needed:
 Income for the year under existing laws, s1,333, ,5O0,000
 Bonds authorized under the war fin ance bill of April 25, but not issued, s2,000 100000.
 Other bond issues previously author ized to reimburse the treasury for var ious items of expense, about $400,- 100000.
 Total, s3,733, 100000.
 The estimate of receipts during the next twelve months was computed as follows:
 From customs duties, s225, 900, 900; from ordinary internal revenue sources, $650, 100000; from the income tax, s350, 900, 900; from miscellaneous taxes and other items, s70,000,00; Panama canal tolls, $7,000,000 and deposits to retire national bank notes and item which is represented by the same fig ure on the credit side of the ledger, s30, 000,0 900.
 Radical differences of opinion exist within the committee regarding the future financial burden Some prom inent senators insist that despite the secretary's figures, at least sS,000, 000,- 00O additional revenue must be found. Senator Simmons, chairman, said to- night he expected the war tax bill would be revised promptly to provide for the s7,000,000,000 asked by the sec retary, although by far the greater part would be in bond authorizations.
 The latter, many members believe, must bear interest at four per cent in stead of 3k per cent, as in the case of the Liberty loan.
 With sentiment crystallizing toward increasing the tax levy provided in the bill to s2.000,O00,0O0 the increase of about sS30,O0000O is expected to be made up largely of higher levies upon incomes, war excess profits and pos sibly tobacco. A few minor taxes also may be adopted. Senator Simmons hopes to complete the revision by the middle of next week and have the sen ate proceed immediately to it's con- sideration.

 Governor Ferguson attributed the in dictments against him to ''contemptible politics" inspired by contemptible men. The basis of the indictments he de- clared, grew out of a deposit of S100, 900 insurance money collected in 1913 when the Canyon City (Texas) State Normal school was burned; that money was deposited by his predecessors at a low rate of interest and that when he became governor he withdrew the money and placed it in other banks and that the money was paid out nromDtly subject to builders estimates for the rebuilding of the Canyon City Normal school.
