Controlling the States.
One Of the great sources Of dissatis-
faction among the Mexican people IN
der the old government was the prac-
tice Of appointing the governors by
appointed the jefes politico. Thus the /
people were ruled by alien officials. /
As a matter Of fact however, the people !
have had no more voice in the election
OF the governors Of the various states
under the MaderO administration than
they enjoyed under the rule OF Por-
firio Diaz. In total disregard OF the
pledges Of the revolution which pro-
vided for the sovereignty OF the states.
Mr.. MaderO, by actual force Of arms, I
compelled the people OF the states OF
Chiapas and Neracruz TO accept his
nominees for governors In Chiapas

chihuahua Bank Robbery.
During the Diaz regime the Banco
Minero In chihuahua city, which was
owned and controlled by. the Creel
family, was robbed OF 100000 pesos A
number of unfortunate members Of the l
lower classes were arrested. charged Z
with the crime and untold punishment
was inflicted upon them to secure
confession, several succumbing to their
fortunes The people Of chihuahua
have always been convinced that the
crime was committed by the Creels
themselves, but the government was in
their own hands and proof could not
be secured. When the new govern
ment assumed control I'm the state, gov
ernOr Abraham Gonzales started an in
Testigation OF the matter The matter
was placed In the hands Of a Judge who
was incOrruptble and ii soon became
evident that he would fasten the crimes
upon the Creel family. At this point I
in the proceedings Mr.. MaderO sent
three letters TO GOV. Gonzales plead
ing in behalf Of Mr.. Creel, but not /
succeeding in his endeavOr finally sent
the following telegram
With my approval the minister OF
finance viii send you today a list OF
three lawyers in order that you may
select a special Judge for the Creel
case, removing Judge DOZaL' Mr. Ma
dero secured Immunity for the Creels
and he gave as his reason that It
would be Injurious to Mexico to have a
former ambassador to the United States
found implicated In such q crime. The
reason, however. is to be found in the
fact that Mr.. MaderO's family and En-
riQue c. Creel associated themselves TO-
gether in commercial transactions.

BenitO JuareZ, Jr.. the son OF the
Iiberator, was elected the governor OF
