During the few weeks he was in charge before the close of the year
Mirza Hasan Khan opened 14 primary schools in the villages and a girls'
school in Kerman Town.
Amnieh. —Sarhang Kaiwan Mirza remained in charge till September when
he was relieved by Naib Sarhang Malikzada.
Both these officers have done their best to cope with the robberies, details
of which have been given above in paragraph 8.
The strength of the Amnieh force is, however, quite inadequate for the
defence of the Duzdap and Bandar Abbas roads in view of the fact that the
Bahichis and the Bashakirdis have never been disarmed. The Baluch robber
menace has been effectively held in check by the despatch of a small military
force to Bam and Narmashir (from May till the end of the year), but the
Bashakirdis have not yet been tackled.
On the whole the force has been paid fairly regularly.
Telegraphs. —Mirza Hadi Khan " Daryush ' has remained in charge
throughout the year. He is a pleasant man and friendly to this Consulate.
At the end of the year four Persians arrived to take over the wireless
installation from the Russian who had been in charge. The installation is
now complete and will probably be brought into use very shortly.
At the close of the year a telephone service was opened between Kerman
and Yezd (218 miles).
10. Local Politics. —There is little of interest to record. The people
of this Province seem resigned to the view that Kerman is a back-water
which cannot hope to receive any consideration from the Central Government'
and remain plunged in apathy as regards the future both for themselves and
their country. They blame the Mejliss rather than the Shah for their neglect
but they appear to have no great enthusiasm for the latter, though the rumour
in the autumn that the Shah would shortly visit this Province roused some
interest.
In June a Bahai shopkeeper was murdered by two well-known Muhani-«
madan bad-characters. The Mullahs did their best to excite religious svm"
pathy for the murderers and nearly succeeded in causing riots. The militarv
assisted the police, however, and order was maintained. '
1 he only local paper published with any pretence of regularitv
is the Istiqamat . Its Editor has in the past been on good terms with
the so-called democrat party which is friendly towards this Consulate For
some reason he quarrelled with the democrats in the summer and began to
liirt with the Socialist party and the Soviet Consul.
Of the other papers which appear at the most irregular intervals two,
the ^ Aaeenah-i-Junoob and the Zikr-i-Haqayiq " (a recent publication)
are simply used as a means of blackmail; the other paper ''Sadaa-ve-Kerman"
is an organ of the moderate political party.
