 NAMING GOVERNORS
Rebel General Defines Rela-
 tiOns With De La Barra
IN COMPLETE CONTROL
While He Is, of Course, Head of the Political Party Growing Out of Revolution, Yet De La Bar
 ra's Word Is Law

Juarez, Mex, May 2S.-The chief task confronting Francisco L Madero, Jr., at present and which, in a statement today, he outlined as the principal ob- j ct of his future conferences with Senor De La Barra. will be the selec- tion of the provisional governors of IA states as was agreed upon in the pre- liminary peace negotiations.
 A stumbling block appeared today when it was reported that the legis- 1ature of the stiite of Sonora proposs4 Avelino Erpirroso for governor, while Senor Maderos choice Is Jose M. May torena for governor and Eugenio Gayon for vice governor. Steps similar to those taken when the Coahuila legis- lature recently baked at accepting Se- nor Carranza will be adopted. Influence again will be brought to bear on the state legislature through President De La Barra and the insurrecto army around Hermosjllo. the state capital, will receive orders to be In readiness to march on the town should the state legislature refuse to accede to Maderos wishes.
 Senor Madero, in a statement today, outlining his proposed activity In be- half of the new governors, took occa- sion to define his exact relation to President De La Barra, which he be- lieves has not been correctly interpre- ted.
 It is true," said Senor Madero in his statement that as private cit izen and as chief of the political party emanating from the revolution, l am going to play an important role in the qualification of the country but my part will be reduced merely to indicating in harmony with public opinion the gov ernors of the states as was agreed in the preliminary negotiations. Even in this same case I am going to cooper ate with President De La Barra but in no way shall I oppose his wishes.
 De La Barra Supreme
 Respecting the important business of the administration, his resolutions shall be final for the reason that he has been designated president of the re- public by two parties and because we haze full confidence in his tact, his honor and his correctness of views. I make this declaration because as a Mexican I wish to guard the prestige Of the representatives of our nation, and in this case equally so the prestige Of ,Senor De La Barra, whom I esteem greatly though I do not know him per- sonally. I wish to state for all time that as representative of the nation, always shall treat Senor De La Barra with the respect and attention which hs deserves and privately with the af- lection and sympathy of which he has made himself creditor"
 Senor Madero was pleased to receive a telegram today from Guadaloupe Gonzales, now at the city of Zacatecas, in the state of the same name, as fol- lows:
 We arrived today in the midst of public demonstration over the triumph of the cause of liberty. Governor Fran cisco Zarete resigned and the congress O. the state, before I presented my self. named me proyi sional governor. I met all the chiefs of the insurgent forces in the state and already they have agreed to obey immediately the order for the cessation of hostilities.'
 The legislature of the state of Chi huanua which is to name Abraham Gonzales as provisional governor may not be convened for some time as latest ireports from the city of Chihuahua say only three members of the legislature have remained since the triumph of the revolution. Senor Gonzales today said special session soon would pc called however, and an election held even if it was necessary to name some new members of the legislature.
 Senor Madero reiterated today his dcrredation of the attack on the train which conveyed General Diaz to Vera Cruz. He declared the assailants were not revolutionists and that their chief. never had been affiliated with the in surrection. -t
 With the dissolving of the provisional government here, the duty on corn and beans, which was removed after the ba tie of Juarez will be re-imposed. An effort now will be made to have the duty removed by statute at Mexico City as food conditions in northern Mexico are said to require such legis- lation.
