Police.- -Yavar Ali Khan, the Rais Nazmieh, who had earned good
opinion from everyone in Kerman by his unusual honesty and his refusal
to mix in other jobs but his own, was recalled to Tehran in the summer.
Justice. —No change from last year.
Education. —Sayyid Tajuddin Khan, formerly Headmaster of the
Government School, became head of Education and Auqaf department in
the autumn, Ansari having left Kerman owing to ill health in August.
The new Rais-i-Muarif seems to be an enthusiast, and has already sent
teachers to open up schools in Jiruft, Rudbar, and Persian Baluchistan
(Bampur itself being one of the places chosen).
A mniyeh. —This department was in charge of Sarhang Kaivan Mirza
for most of the year, and since he came Kerman has been part of a large
area, including Yezd, Bandar Abbas and Duzdap, which is one administra
tive unit. The men are fairly regularly paid.
Telegraphs. —Mirza Hadi Khan 'Darwish' took over charge of this
department at the end of March from Ghulam Ali Khan 'Kashi', who was
a dishonest and corrupt rogue. 'Darwish' is pleasant and inoffensive.
New Persian telegraph offices were opened during the year at Sirjan and
Baft.
The Telegraph Master received instructions from Tehran early in the
year to submit proposals for constructing telegraph lines from Bam to Jiruft
and Bam to Duzdap; and complied. But he has heard nothing more on
the subject.
Administrative Committee. —Early in the year orders were received from
Tehran for the formation of a Committee composed of local officials to sit
weekly and discuss matters of general interest and other matters referred
to them by the Central Government.
8. Local Politics. Elections. —After scandalous delays, barefaced
bribery, substitution of votes, burning of boxes, coercion, and every sort of
intrigue, unparalleled (it is said) even in Kerman, the so-called 'free' elec
tions for the 6th Majlis at last came to an end during the year. The suc
cessful candidates were as follows :—
Kerman town and environs . Haji Mirza Murfceza and Mirza Abdul Hueeain.
Rafsinjan and Zerind . . Mirat-us-Sultaneh, son of
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.
Nusret.
Sirjan, Aqta and Bardsir . . Nasr-ud-Dauleh Badr.
Jiruft and Rndbar . , . Ata-ul-Mulk.
Bam and Narmashir . . . Mukhtar-ul-Mulk.
Baluchistan . . . Diwan Begi.
The Shah. —The Coronation was celebrated in Kerman in the Spring
with every outward appearance, if not of enthusiasm, at any rate of cordia
lity. But by the end of the year, the public attitude towards His Majesty
has undergone a decide 1 change. The hopes that were entertained one
year ago, of progress of the people and the country have wilted and died.
The general feeling now is one of disillusion and hopelessness, and of com
plete uncertainty as to the future of the present regime. Reza Khan has
been forgotten. The Shah is regarded almost with the same indifference
as the Kajar Shahs of old.
1 he Pi ess. Rais-ul-Mutakallimin continues to produce his useful and
well managed weekly paper, IstaqamcLt, with commendable resrularitv
During the year 3 new periodicals of a more or less ephemeral character
werestarted -.—the Nadd-i-Kermm, Sadd-i-Kerman, and Avma-i-Junub.
The Bidan also appeared occasionally.
The Habl-ul-Matin after a long period of welcome silence made its
re appearance in Kerman towards the close of the year Its 'policy of
spreading anti-British poison appears to be unchanged. But that l ind o f
propaganda has nothing like the effect it had 2 years ago.
0. Health and General Wei fare.—Dr. Dodson of the C. M. S. Mission
i eports that Kerman has been free from any extensive epidemic during the
