C hapter III.—ANNUAL EEPORT OE THE KEEMANSHAH CON
SULATE EOR THE YEAE ENDING THE 31ST MAECH 1906.
The jurisdiction of the KermaBshah Consulate extends to the Provinces
of Kermansbah, Hamadan, Kurdistan and Malayar. These districts comprise
practically the whole of Western Persia, i.e., to the south of Azarbaijan, north
of Luristan, and west of the small Province of Irak (with Sultanahad as the
seat of Government), as far as the Turkish frontier, and includes the cities of
Kermanshah, Hamadan, Senna and Daulatahad, besides the smaller towns of
Asadabad, Kangarvar, Bijar, Sakiz, Kerind and Kasr-i-Shinn.
Each of these four provinces is governed, by a Governor appointed by the
Central Government at Tehran, and each Governor appoints the Deputy
Governors for the sub-divisions of the Province administered by him.
Thus, the Province of Kermanshah includes the sub-divisions of Asadabad,
Kangarvar, Kerind, Sar-i-pul and Kasr-i-Shirin, while that of Kurdistan
includes Sakiz, Bahneh and Gerous : this latter is a small province in itself,
with the seat of government at the town of Bijar.
Of the four provinces, Kermanshah, from our point of view at least, is the
most important, and it is in the chief town of Kermanshah Province—Ker
manshah or Kermanshahan—that the Consulate was established in 1904.
In the end of 1903 I was appointed as Vice-Consul to Kermanshah and
arrived here in the beginning of July 1904. On arrival here, I relieved
Mr. H. L. Eabino, Manager of the branch of the Imperial Bank of Persia
here, who had acted since the death of the
Vakil
Elected representative or attorney, acting in legal matters such as contracting marriage, inheritance, or business; a high-ranking legal official; could also refer to a custodian or administrator.
B ed-Dowleh, British Agent, as
Consular Agent. I found established here a Turkish Consul-General, with a
Consul acting under him, and a Eusaian Consul, M. Nicolski, who had been
appointed here also at the end of 1903 and had come down at once to take up
his appointment. As I found that M. Nicolski's rank was that of a Consul,
I applied for the s-ime rank myself and this was sanctioned in the month of
July 190 i.
My first act here was to look out for a building appropriate for the Con
sulate, and this I was lucky in finding before long. A house and garden were
bought at a price of 9,000
tomans
10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value.
(roughly about £1,500) and Government
sanctioned the further expenditure of a sum of
tomans
10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value.
2,000 for the necessary
buildings.
Very shortly after my arrival here, the Medical Officer appointed as Con
sular Surgeon, Captain "Williams, I.M.S., for Arabistan and Kermanshah
arrived. At the end of August, both Captain Williams (Consular Surgeon) and
myself were ordered to proceed to Urumiah on special duty connected with the
murder of an American missionary and other outrages committed by the Kurds
of that place.
Captain Williams returned from Urumiah in the early part of November
and at Hamadan, on his way back to Kermanshah received news of the
outrage at Khoremabad, whereby Major Douglas, Millitary Attache at Tehran,
and Captain Lorimer, Consul at Ahwaz, were severely wounded. Captain
Williams at once proceeded to their assistance and gave them the medical
assistance of which they stood in need.
He then proceeded to Kermanshah, whence again he left for Luristan
with His Highness the Earman Earma, Governor of Kermanshah and Luristan
to take measures against the Direkwand Lurs, the aggressors in the late attack
on Major Douglas and Captain Lorimer. These measures proving entirely
abortive. Captain Williams was sent back to Kermanshah, where he arrived
early in May.
I had myself arrived from Urumiah on the 22nd April 1905, and had
again taken up the duties of His Majesty's Consul here. His Highness the
Earman Earma remained in Burujird until the end of October 1905, when he
returned to Kermanshah. The ten months of His Highness* stay in Luristan
