WILSON MAKES APPEAL
 TO JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER
Chief Executive Desires Fin ancier's Aid in Settling Col
 OradO Coal Strike.

Washington, April 27.-President Wilson has made a personal appeal to John D. Rockefeller to bring about a settlement of the Colorado coal strike and end the violence which has cost a score of lives and large property loss.
 7. Mr. Rockefeller, who owns a large part of the mines affected by the strike. in response to telegram from the president, declared he had turned over his interests in Colorado to his son, John D. Rockefeller, IT,, whom he would ask to cooperate with Chairman Foster of the house com mittee on mines and mining. The president sent MT. Foster to New York today to talk with the younger Rockefeller
 Upon the outcome of the confer ence depends whether federal troops which have been asked for by all sides of the controversy will be sent to the strike zone.
 ''Nothing that has happened in Mexico,' said a cable official today, compared with the awful things that have occurred in Colorado. The public mind has for the moment been centered on Mexico and has not ob- served the great domestic struggle between the strike breakers and the if1fs1ers and the militia in Colorado.

JOHN ANDERSON RE-APPOINTED. Chosen By Mayor Quigley For Public
 Works Board

Mayor George A. Quigley this morning re-appointed John A. Ander- son of Bassett street to the board of public works for a term of three years. He is the only member re- maining who has been with the board since it was inaugurated in Mayor Lander's administration, eight years ago.
 MT. Anderson has been prominent ly connected with the Swedish Luth- eran church for many years, being trustee at the present time. He is also member of the firm An- derson Brothers, is a director in the Savings Bank of New. Britain and is recognized as one of the most influ- ential of local Swedish republicans.
 The announcement of MT. Ander- sons re-appointment was rather ex- pected, and, as this paper stated some time ago, his friends were con- f1dent that the new mayor would choose him on the board.

said, would be to deal directly with the arrest of the American blue jackets at Tampico and other indig- I.ities against American honor.
 Ambassador Riano of Spain, who re- ceived the private advices of Huerta's s reported decision expected to be in a position today to place the provisional presidents formal acceptance before representatives of the South American republics. The next move would be the revelation by the diplomats of lines of settlement they propose.
 Whether the arrest of Consul Gen eral Hanna by federals at Monterey would widen the breach and add to the task of the diplomats was one of the days possible developments. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan are reported to be greatly incensed over that incident. Hanna reported he had been subjected to insults at the hands of federals and kept a prisoner in the government palace until consti- tItionalists captured the town two days later and released him. That was after the seizure of Vera Cruz
 Reported utterances of one of Car ranza's confidential agents that the constitutionalist leader would make no statement on the proposal of the South American diplomats, but that "the offer is a hopeful sign, and any proposition that looks to peace is ac- captable to the constitutionalists,' = added to hope in Washington that the crisis might simmer to settlemens. From Chihuahua Carranza had or Gered his officers to redouble their al- tack on Tampico and apprehend federals responsible for affronts to the United States at that port, so they might be tried by a rebel court. It was reported that Carranza had been asked for statement of his attitude to clear up questions arising from possibly faulty translation of his note issued after the seizure of Vera Cruz.

Stars and Stripes Hoist !! ed at Noon Today Over Fletcher's , Headquarters
Mexican Authorities Agree to Provide Transportation for Americans in Capital.

N Washington April 27.-Europcan diplomats in Washington, 1t was learned today, are pessimistic over
 the successful outcome of mediation proposals by South American Sov- ernments to prevent war with Mex ico While the action of Great Brit
 ain, Germany and France in urging
 Huerta to accept the good offices f proffered by Brazil, Chila and Argen- tina has had encourag ging effect
 upon officials here, there are few who believe that success can event. 4 uate from the undertaking.
 At ? o'clock Ambassador Da Cana and Ministers Suarez and Naon ended . a protected conference as to future procedure in the mediation proposals. Though no announcement was made. N7t was reported that no definite plan
 for the next move had been deter mined.
 The Spanish ambassador, MT. Riano, was in early conference With the Argentina minister, MT. Naon, concerning the next move to be made { by the mediators, and Ambassador ! Da Cana of Brazil, with the Chilean administer, Suarez, and MT. Naon held
 lengthy conference. MT. Da Ganla, following this conference, called upon Secretary of State Bryan, and state ment was expected later in day 7 relating to the next move to be made z in the mediation. C N Seen s.Akter Secretary Bryan f1s-s formed President Wilson of the ad.
 vices from Mexico City that Huerta
 had acceded to the preliminary steps
 in the mediation proposals, further
 encouragement in the situation came :. in advices from Berlin that Germany. France and Great Britain had urged Huerta, through their diplomatic rep resentatives in Mexico City to yield sto the American demands. When this was communicated to the president he Swas greatly pleased.
 Later the German ambassador, MT.
 von Bernstorff, informed Secretary
 Bryan that his government would sup
 port the mediation proposal.
 Another cause for optimism among
 Washington officials was the assur-
 ance from Admiral Badger that
 through the efforts of British and
 German officials in Mexico City ap- nrehension over American and other
 foreign refugees in Mexico had been
 greatly dispelled. Am official dis
 patch from Admiral Badger to the
 navy department declared that the
 authorities in Mexico City had agreed
 to provide transportation for all
 Americans from Mexico City as far
 as Soledad. the Mexican controlled Wend of the railroad to Vera Cruz. It was announced that the first train
 with 250 American refugees would
 leave Mexico City today The con-
 clusion of negotiations in this con- nection was gratifying to the presi-
 dent and Secretary Bryan as well as
 to the war department officials
 Activity continued at the war and navy departments during the day.
