Washington, April 30. It was as-c-rted here today on unquestionable r ::hority that the South American rr.voys seeking to avert a crisis in Moxico have appealed to European governments for friendly offices to facilitate mediation, between Mexico the United States. The appeal, it was stated, did not include a re vest, as reported from abroad, that xl.e powers use their influence upon President Wilson to name conditions which would insure success of the ne cc.iations. Carranza Asked to Join Armistice. it also was learned that a proposal to Gen. Carranza, as the head of the constitutionalists, to join the armis tice proposed between the United States and Huerta, has been made iy the mediating envoys. The propo .! was forwarded to General Car r;.nza following his acceptance of the seed offices of Brazil, Argentina and Chile, and is' a part of the plan of the envoys to secure a general ces sation of hostilities in all Mexico rending the mediation negotiations. The mediators also saw. several ru-?n prominently identified with va rious Mexican elements, in the can as being made of pcinc or differ ence and agreement, with a view to gradually working out some com Eon basis. It was reported also but tiot confirmed that personal represen tatives of Huerta and Carranza would be sent here to be the medium of direct communication with the medi ators. Fighting Reported. Federals and constitutionalist are fighting at Mazatlan and Acapulco, according to a dispatch received here from Admiral Howard, commander of the Pacific fleet. Admiral Howard reported further that the news of me diation, through A, B, C, is favor ably received by the better class of citizens at Mazatlan. The message was sent through the lines to the constitutionalists. A Hopeful Sign. One of the hopeful signs in the Mexican situation were instructions issued today by the state department to certain consuls in Mexican cities. The instructions authorized the con suls to return to their posts and re nme their official duties "in their fpersonal discretion." Tho American consuls were ordered cut of Mexico and the affairs of this government turned over to repre sentatives of Brazil and France short ly after the seizure of Vera Cruz. Mediators Encouraged. The mediators of the South Ameri can republics who are seeking to compose the Mexican crisis resumed 'Lyir sessions at the Argentine le ;?tion today. Their plans were for a s morning session from 10:30 o'clock utiii l, an afternoon session and the evening to be devoted to conferences and possibly a late night session as eh'-'-umstances might require. The mediators were greatly en couraged in their work by the definite res alas already accomplished, first in Paving the way to an armistice sniorig all the warring factions and, second, in bringing Carranza within ;h'j scope of their intermediation. It na.; been a matter of surprise to dip if fe and official circles generally 'i this much has been accomplish efi by the mediators in the few days --i they have been at work and out;tg as to their efforts which pre ' -d in some quarters during the stages are given way to a more -" -' -al feeiing of confidence. ? is still felt, however, that the cru'-inl Qtoco in thp n Ae-ntiat.ions yet to be met and that this will de-) 'r,'fj p within the next few days. Mot - standing this, the spirit of conces thus far shown gives the media-'- v hnnft th.n- all sides will enter ; .o final sta rp. in the same spirit conciliation which will permit ':-;.! ir. firi anma middle ground oil r rvH several i American ministers were J 1 LI I Lit-. J.Ai.e I ;3 into conference. It was under fed this related to a plan advanc t(i iy some of the South American ' Juries to have all of the. repre tpi'tatives ioin as a semi-official part ike mediation procedure. It is the spf. station, however, to continue the Ofsauization as now formally accept by all elements and at the same ii'ie have the co-operation and back of the united republics of South ai;P- Central America. Jo Ask rowers . Await Word From Carranza. When the mediation envoys adjourn ed their conference for luncheon it was declared that they were awaiting word direct from General Carranza as to whether he would agree to an armi stice. Some of the representatives of the representatives of constitutional ists here, it was known, did not favor an armistice, but the envoys, was shown in the original note to Carranza offering their good offices, are dealing with the constitutionalist chief and not through representatives here. cnould Carranza reject an armistice the mediation plans probably would be thrown back to the international basis between this government and Huerta, with the internal Mexican trouble elim inated. Request of the Powers. The request of the powers, it is declared, already has borne fruit, as several diplomatic representatives of European nations have consulted with Secretary of State Bryan with relation to the negotiations. Denials of previous reports from abroad with regard to this matter, it was pointed out, were based on the report that the powers had been asked to insist upon a modification of the attitude of the United States. Officials here who are in touch with the negotia tions, insist that such action was not even considered, and that the friendly offices of some of the European gov ernments had been extended before the mediation envoys made the gen ral request. It is believed here that any step taken by the European governments would be limited to emphasizing through their representatives here the hope that mediation would be succos ful and their desire to facilitate this purpose. There was no desire, it is said, on the part of these govern ments to interfere with the policy of President Wilson. The mediation envoys. Ambassador Da Gama, of Brazil; Minister Naon, of Argentina, and Minister Suarez, of Chile, ' renewed their conferences today after the Brazilian ambassador had conferred with Robert Lansing, counsellor of the state department. Up to noon no announcement had been made by .the envoys, but definite information regarding the next step in the negotiations was expected soon. President Wilson indicated in talks with callers during the morning that he was very hopeful. The acceptance by Carranza of the principle of me diation after he had conferred with General Villa at Chihuahua is re garded in administration circles as significant. With the exception of the constitu tionalist forces, a general truce, ae desired by the mediators, is believed to be in operation at present, al though its terms have not been de fined; nor, in fact, has there been any formal acceptance on the part ot any of the principals. Secretary Bry an was duly notified yesterday of the belief of the mediators that their efforts to accomplish something de finite would be greatly facilitated by the proclamation of a general ar mistice. No definite reply was made by the United States government for the reason that it first desired to ascer tain the intentions of the Huerta government. However, Mr. Bryan said today he assumed there would be a suspension of hostilities. In the war department it is stated there is no present intention of at tacking the Mexicans, if our troops and marines at Vera Cruz are left alone and no attempt is made to ill treat American civilians. Reports emanating from Mexico City last, night that an American war ship had bombarded Manzanulo, on the Pacific coast of Mexico, and that American marines had landed at Sa- lina Cruz, caused officials here con siderable concern. Both reports be ing untrue, they feared that they might have been circulated in Mexico for the purpose of arousing resent ment against Americans. The hope here is that no untoward incidents ' will arise to hamper the peace negotiations. E W0RDICA S SINKING FAST I Batavia Java, April 30.

Wil liam Vincent Astor, son of the late Colonel John Jacob Astor, and ,Miss Helen Dinsmore Huntington, whom he has known since childhood, were mar ried shortly after noon today in the big oak panelled library of opeland House, home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert P. Huntington. Less than fifty persons witnessed the ceremony and of these three were the superintendents from the Asto-, the Huntington and the Dinsmore es tates respectively. The other guests were relatives and close friends of the families. Plans had been made for an elaborate church wedding but Mr. As tor's recent illness which threatened pneumonia made necessary the aban donment of these plans. Eighteen hundred wedding announcements were sent out after .today's ceremony but the small company that witnessed it had been invited by informal notes, penned by Mrs. Huntington's secre tary. A fine rain was falling when the guests from New York City arrived at the four hundred-acre Huntington es tate. Guards had been posted at the en trances and only those whose creden tials were unquestioned were admit ted. Mr. Astor himself is a deputy sher iff of Dutchess county and some of his fellow deputies acted as sentinels at the gates. Green foliage and spring flowers from the Huntington conservatories and from New York hung everywhere throughout the rooms of Hopeland House. Buried in blossoms with here and there a touch of green wa3 the marble mantel piece in the library before which the couple stood. Mis. Huntington entered the room on the arm of her father. At her throat gleaned a magnificent necklace of pearls, the gift of the bridegroom. Her bridal gown was of white tulle, with a train of white satin. Her lace veil., had been worn by her grand mother, Mrs. Dinsmore, and by , her mother before her. Herman Oelrichs of New York, an old friend of Vincent Astor, was best man. Miss Alice Huntington, sister of the bride, was maid of honor and the little Misses Muriel Astor and Margaret Dows, were flower girls. The two children were prettily garbed in corn-colored chiffon and dotted net with blue sashes. Small flowers wreathed their hats and each carried an old-fashioned bouquet. Mrs. Robert Huntington, the bride's mother, wore blue taffeta and chif fon. A screened orchestra of twenty pieces played the Lohrengen wedding march and the Rev. Charles H. Dun can, rector of St. Margaret's church, Staatsburg, read the Episcopal mar riage service. WThen the pair had risen man and wife, the wedding party assembled in the "long room" adjoining the li brary, where a wedding breakfast was served. " Mrs. Ava Willing Astor, mother of the bridegroom, was among the wed ding guests. The young widow of Colonel Astor, although invited, was not present. She is m the south. Among others present were Robert Huntington the bride's brother, who is home from St. Paul's School, at Concord; Mrs. William B. Dinsmore, the bride's grandmother; Mr. and Mrs. William B. Dinsmore, jr., the bride's uncle and aunt, with their two chil dren; Miss Madeline Dinsmore, another aunt; Nicholas Biddle, one of the exec utors of the Astor estate, and a few neighbors and friends. Vincent Astor is 22 years old; the bride is 20. Until a week ago the young heir to the vast Astor estate estimated at from $75,000,4)00 to $100,000,000 was ill in the Huntington residence. While visiting his fiance a month ago he be came seriously ill with an abscess on the lungs. Although his physicians permitted him outdoors for the firct time only four days ago, young Astor insisted that there should be no delay in the wedding. It is understood that Mr. and Mrs Astor will remain at their country home, not far from the Huntington place, for a month. They hope that Mr Astor's health then will permit a yacht ing cruise and a visit to England, at the home of his mother, Mrs. Ava Wil ling Astor.

W. Bullard Go. Signed Lease Received by Mr. Dunn Last Night, Covers a Long Term of Years Great Commercial Gain for Char lotte and This Section. In last night's mail was a letter of tremendous interest and commercial import to Charlotte. It was addressed to Mr. R. A. Dunn and was signed "Woolworth & Company". The letter contained a lease, signed, seal and de livered, between the Woolworth Com pany and Messrs. R. A. Dunn and W. R. Burwell, for the building on West Trade street formerly occupied by Liles-Nix and last by J. W. Bullard & Company, and owned by Messrs. Bur well & Dunn, the building to be oc cupied by the famous Woolworth 5-10-25 cent stores. The lease covers a long term of years, and the occu pancy to begin as soon as the building is re-built (after the fire which recent ly destroyed the interior.) For a year or more there have been runic .in- time to- time-that Woolworth was " coming to Charlotte, but not until the present transac tion, which it is The News' privi lege to give first to the public, was there ever any definite move made by the famer 5-10-25 cent multi-mil lionaire to establish a store here. Af ter the Bullard fire, Mr: Dunn wrote ' TVTi "XrrtrltT7Tfl- fnnino1 Trim r-f fho i fire, the building, the stand, etc., and offering the building for long lease if the Woolworth Company thought of coming to Charlotte. By return mail came a letter saying "our rep resentative will be in Charlotte to see you in two days." He cafe, and the signed leai3e received by Messrs. Burwell and Dunn last night, is the sequel to the stiry, and gives The News the pleasure of telling , of the good news, of additional evidence of Charlotte's growth, and the pres tige the city commands as a busi ness center. The Woolworth stores are famed throughout the country. There are hundreds of Woolworth stores and the fac tthat Charlotet is to be added to the list is cause for commmercial rejoicing in the city. The coming of Woolworth will add impetus to the commercial life of the city. Charlotte already is fortunate in this line of business, having the mag nificent store of Kress, on Tryon, and the United 5, 10 and 25 cent store, on Trade. With the coming of Woolworth, the city will feel itself go forward into even quicker commercial activity, the old adage that competition is the life of trade, being true in the past, pres ent and future. The Woolworth Company will occu py the entire Burwell & Dunn stand, which is three stories and large base ment. To Mr. Dunn's thought and the fact that Charlotte has great inducements for business enterprises, Charlotte has gained a coveted prize the Wool worth storefi. The building and location are splen didly well suited for the new store, ihe building is one of the handsom est in the up-town district, and in the center of trade. It was not Charlotte's privilege to contribute to the height of the Wool worth building in New York the highest in the world but when the next Woolworth building is erected higher han the highest, Charlotte dol lare will help build the foundation. rasTcVV CHARLOTTE S001 REBELS CONTROL NORTHERN ERON I TIER OF MEXICO Brownsville, Texas, April 30.

Four strategic garrisons towns and 80C mires of rich land are included in the territory. The rebels completed their control of the ' section when Nuevo, Laredo and Piedras Negras were occupied without the firing of a shot. Previous ly. Matamoran, opposite Bronwsville at the moyth of the Rio Grande, and Juarez, where revoltions are made, were the important northern points under the sway of Venustiano Carran za. The Federal garrison of Nuevo La redo and Piedras Negras evacuated their town suddenly after United States forces landed at Vera Cruz. Beside the four large towns the rebels also held on the border Las Vacas, opposite Del Rio; San Ygnacio, in the cattle country below Nuevo Laredo; Guerrero and Mier.

The occu pation of Las Amimas.and Fremont counties by United States troops, the continuance of negotiations between strikers and militia at Walsenburg for the surrender of the, strikers' arms, the taking of additional testimonv at Trinidad at the coroner's inquiry into me JL,uaiow or April 20, were the chief events in the Colorado industrial war today. Federal soldiers who reached Fre mont county yesterday formally took charge of the district today. The sec ond squadron of the fifth cavalry reached Trinidad in a drenching rain. aeverai nundred citizens welcomed the soldiers at the station while at their San Rafael camp strikers con tinued their accustomed occupations ano diversions. One of Major Hplbrook's acts was the issuance of a statement urging "all law-abiding citizens to carefully read the president's proclamation and com ply with its provisions." The parleys between Colonel Ed ward Verdeckberg and strike leaders at Walsenburg continued until . long after midnight, and today no informa tion had been received at the adju tant general's office as to whether satisfactory terms had been arranged for the surrender of arms as pro posed in the truce agreement late yes terday.

Others located will not be brought out until tonight.

Thirty soldiers -who had served in the militia under Major Lester forgot their alleged grievance against ' the state on account of n 3t receiving back pay and late last nignt went to .Walsenburg to offer their services in any future conflict witn the strikers.
