this report. Mussadiq -es-Sultaneh benefitted from the strong support and
advice of the Qawam -ul-Mulk, whose influence throughout Fars is very
great.
In December Mobamed Ibrahim Parrash Bashi of Nasr Diwan of Kazerun
was released. While it was indisputable that lie had taken a leading part in
the murder of Wills and Sergeant Coomber at Kheneh Ziman it had proved
impossible to secure conviction. He was released on condition that a suitable
security was deposited that he did not return to Kazerun and that he took no
retaliatory measures against witnesses in the case.
After the tribes had migrated to their summer quarters Salar Hishmat
Ilbegi suddenly attacked Ayaz Kikha and result of which was the division of
the Darashuri tribe again and Nasrullah Khan and Ali Penah claimed most of
the tribe.
Sardar
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
Ehteshem, however, would not agree to the dismissal of
Ayaz Kikha as Kalantar and handed over the money of the tribe to Ayaz Kika
and his son. Salar Hishmat was expected to resign in consequence of this
but did not do so. This was the only important instance of inter-tribal fighting
during the year. During the summer months
Sardar

Ehteshem lay seriously
ill in Ispahan. In September a tentative rapprochement was arrived at
between the Qawam-ul-Mulk and the Soulat-ed-Dowleh which consisted of an
agreement not to interfere in each other's affairs and the deposit of 20,000
tomans
10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value.
each in the hands of the leading Shroff in Shiraz. Nothing came of
this, however, as the money was not deposited.
While Prince Arfa-ed-Dowleh the Persian representative of the League of
Nations was proceeding from Isfahan to Shiraz en route for Geneva all his
baggage was looted including his credentials. The culprits were Ayaz Kikha's
D irashuris. The Qawam-ul-Mulk accompanied by a party of South Persian
Rifles later effected the recovery of the Prince's property.
Towards the end of the year endeavours were being made to settle the
question of Soulat-ed-Dowleh who in the opinion of the majority of those who
carried any weight, was the only man strong enough to be II Khani.
There have been no note^svorthy events in Behbehan during the year.
Behbehan usua ^ chronic state of unrest and raid
and counter raidcontinued during the
year. At the end of the year one Agha Baba Khan was sent to Behbehan
from Sheraz to look after the work of the elections.
Hayat Daud under Haider Khan's good and wise government remains
H.y .t Dand .a Lir.wi. sti11 peaceful and contented. His advice
in current local politics is frequently
sought and as freely given.
Agha Khan of Lirawi was perturbed at the advent of Haji Sayed-es-
Sultaneh the owner of Lirawi from Europe. This gentleman wanted to sell
Lirawi to the Sheikh of Mohammerah, a project viewed with much alarm and
dissatisfaction by Agha Khan and Haider Khan but the matter fell through
eventually. Rumours that the Bakhtiaris had bought Lirawi were frequent
but unfounded.
The many changes in the Cabinet in Teheran have not affected Bushire
Baahire. ^ l eas ti Bushire being thoroughly
self«8centred and quite indifferent to
the politics of the far away capital. In the same way the threat of
Bolshevism in the ftiorth was merely a subject of idle conversation and
nothing more. There is an under current of anti-British feelings which is
never very apparent but is none the less there. At the end of December
elections took place iu Bushire and out of 5 candidates for the two seats Mirza
Ali Kazeruni secured more than half of the total number of votes. This man,
who is in Teheran, was notorious during the war as Wassmuss's right hand
man, and had been strongly anti-British even before the war. The candidate
who secured 2nd place Mirza Mahmud Behbehani was disqualified as under
age and Shaikh Abdul Kerim of Shiraz, a man of no note, secured the 2nd
seat.
The commercial life of Bushire suffered a severe shock in the autumn owing
to the bankruptcy of the Qassmieh Company in Shiraz who had a branch here.
