CHAPTKE IX.
Administeation Bepoet or H. B. M.'s Consulate fob Khuzistan for the year
1925.
Personnel. —Mr. E. G. B. Peel, C.I.E. continued to hold the post of Consul
till the 8th April 1925, when he proceeded on leave and was succeeded by Mr.
E. D. Gr. Monypenny of the Levant A geographical area corresponding to the region around the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Consular Service.
Except for a month's absence on leave Captain C. C. L. Ryan continued to
hold the post of Vice-Consul throughout the year.
Adwinistration. —On the relief of Mr. Peel by Mr. Monypenny the Consulate
was transferred from the Government of India to H. M.'s Foreign Office, London.
The Vice-Consulate was, however, §till maintained throughout the year on the
Government of India establishment.
Local Government. —Sartip Pazlullah Khan was Military Governor General
till May 4th, when he was recalled to Tehran and the Civil Deputy Governor
Mirza Ahmad Khan Amarlu, a nominee of Sharif-ud-Dauleh, at that time Gov
ernor General" of Luristan and Khuzistan, became acting Governor till his depar
ture for Tehran on December 1st as a Deputy for Behbehan in the Constituent
Assembly. At the end of the year he had not returned, nor had any one been
appointed in his place. The Officer Commanding the troops in Khuzistan was
acting as Governor in conjunction with Afgham-es-Sultan, who had been Mirza
Ahmed Khan's assistant.
Mr. H. Homan, one of Dr. Millspaugh's staff of American advisers, arrived
in November and toot over charge of the post of provincial Director of Finance
from Muffakham-es-Saltaneh, the Pishkar-i-Malieh. The latter is now working
as Mr. Homan's assistant.
The head quarters of the Adliyeh was transferred to Ahwaz from Shustar
in December.' A local branch had been previously opened, but had been removed
by the Military Governor. The Adliyeh now, however, appears to be established
as a permanent institution, much to the chagrin of the Military authorities.
On the departure of General Fazlullan Khan, the province was divided into
two areas for the purposes of Military administration. The troops at Dizful and
Shustar were incorporated in the Western Command, while the troops further to
the South and the East remained in the Southern Army.
SJmiMi of Mohammerah. —The year 1925 has been mainly remarkable for the
final elimination of the Shaikh of Mohammerah and the consolidation by the
Persian Government of their authority over the Province. At the beginning of
the year the Shaikh of Mohammerah, though effectively shorn of his former pres
tige and authority was still hoping for the fulfilment of the Prime Minister's pro
mise that troops would be withdrawn and the Shaikh restored to power in the
spring. This hope, however, was soon extinguished, and the Shaikh was reduced
to a state of despair by the gradual encroachment of the Persian authorities on
his private properties and the constant humiliation to which in various forms he
was subjected. He had thus come to believe that the Prime Minister had'no in
tention of taking any steps at all either to rehabilitate him or even to make any
arrangement regarding his lands, such as would enable him at least to feel secure
in the position of a more landowner, and leave him free to travel abroad. It was
in this frame of mind that Mr. Monypenny found him on his arrival from Tehran
with a special message _froi% the Prime Minister, to the effect that the Shaikh
should either gratify his desire to travel by mkaing Tehran his first goal, or
should send a suitable representative there with full authority to deal with the
question of his properties, his ownership of which His Highness assured him he
would do his utmost to regularise and confirm. The Shaikh, however, was unable
to overcome his suspicion of the Prime Minister and refused to go to Tehran,
notwithstanding the assurances of H. M. Minister as to* the sincerity of the
Prime Minister's attitude and his general anxiety to put the question of the
tenancy of the Shaikh's lands on a proper basis. While these negotiations were
still in progress, in fact on the evening of the same day on which the Shaikh had
intimated to H. M. Consul his inability to go to Tehran, His Excellency was
arrested by the Governor-General, Sartip Fazlullah Khan r on his own ship the
