50 ADMINISTRATION REPORT OF THE
PERSIAN GULF
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
These Chiefs were accompanied by Muhammad Jawad Khan, Muntaz-
zim-ud-Dowleh, and Sultan Ali Khan, Shahab-us-Sultaneh, the former of
whom was sent to Dizful, the latter to Behbehan, as is elsewhere stated.
#
During the time the Amirs MufEakham and Mujahid were associated in
the executive of the tribes, relations between them were exceedingly strained
and eventually ended in an open rupture, in connection with the Shahab-us-
Sultaneh's conduct of the Kuhgelu expedition, as mentioned on page 61.
Shortly after, in the month of May, the Chiefs returned to their respective
homes in the Chahar Mahal.
Later, in the month of June, a split occurred between Lutf Ali Khan,
Amir-i-Muffakham, and his brother Sultan Muhammad Khan,

orders to his younger brother, Sultan Muhammad Khan, to come to some
modus vivendi with Muhammad Jawad Khan, which he had, perforce, to do.
Early in the summer the Bakhtiari Chiefs commenced to reap among
their own tribesmen the first fruits of the tree of " Liberty, Egalite, Frater-
nite," which they had planted and so assiduously tended in 1909. The minor
Chiefs and heads of sub-tribes complained that, though they and their tribes
men had been instrumental in obtaining for the ruling Chiefs the highest
and most highly paid posts in the land, they themselves had got " all the kicks
and none of the halfpence," and threatened to throw off the yoke of their
allegiance, unless the Chiefs alleviated their lot. The Chiefs, being in no
position to risk serious internal trouble among their tribesmen at this junc
ture, called a special meeting at Dizak, at which it was decided to accede to
the demands of the tribesmen and lighten the burden of their taxation.
This same malcontent spirit showed itself again in October, in connection
with the Kashan operations; after the capture of Kashan, having possessed
themselves of a large amount of loot, the minor Chiefs were ordered by the
ruling Chiefs to get back the loot from their men and return it to the owners.
Subsequent on this the minor Chiefs returned to Ispahan, threatened to throw
off their allegiance to both the

The most notable of the events of the year, with regard to Bakhtiari in

led to bloodshed in the early autumn.
