Political.
In this respect the Persian does not necessarily wilfully mislead (thoueli
he is apt to overstate where tribes are concerned in order to exaggerate the
numbers of the irregular sowars at the disposal of the Persian Government)
for he has no idea of numbers in the mass. >

The smaller tribes are the Ahmedawend, Jellawend, Biwanij, Usmana-
wend, who are generally attached to one or other of the larger tribes.
Last year's report compiled up to the 21st of March 1908, closed with
the misdoings of the acting Governor, Azam-ed-dowleh Zengineh, who was
officiating for his father, Zahir-ul-mulk, and who was cutting off heads and
blowing men from guns in the recognised autocratic manner. His conduct
received attention in the Tehran Majlis and he was finally dismissed in the
middle of April, the Prime Minister demanding explanations of his conduct
from him.
Wazir
Minister.
Akram, formerly Governor of Kazvin, was appointed to
be Governor of Kermanshah.
The Kuhai tribe, taking advantage of the general anarchy, had refused
to pay revenue and the Kalhor tribe were called out to bring them to reason,
but, on hearing of the appointment of a new Governor, the latter returned
to their homes. It may be remarked, in passing, that the Kalhors had no
more paid revenue, than had the Kuliais.
At the end of March, all the chiefs of the tribes met in conclave and
resolved to telegraph, asking that Zahir-ul-mulk, Chief of the Zenginehs,
should be appointed Governor, a most undesirable appointment, since the
chief duty of a Governor is to keep the tribes in order. At the end of the
month the newly-appointed Governor resigned his appointment and was
appointed Governor of Tehran.
Kaimmakam was then appointed Governor of Kermanshah, but no one
expected that he would join his appointment. The Prime Minister ordered
lhat Azam-ed-dowleh should be sent to Tehran for punishment for his
offences, but, as the only person to carry out the order was Zahir-ul -mulk,
the father of the culprit, it was not likely that it would be obeyed.
In the meantime, there was no Governor or Deputy-Governor, and mat
ters in the district went from bad to worse; the Kakawends, a Luristan tribe,
crossed the border, the villagers fled and the robbers occupied the villages on
the Tehran road, looting extensively near Bisitun and Chamchamal, about
25 miles from this town.
The Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Stead of the American Mission were held up
between Sehneh and Kermanshah while driving in from the former place
which is about 30 miles from the city. They were robbed of everything they
possessed, Mr. Stead being left with only a pair of trousers, his servan
being stripped. Mrs. Stead, however, was only relieved of her jacket an
outside skirt, indeed, she would not have been touched, had they realise
