13. Health and General TFeZ/are.—Alarming but unfounded reports of cholera
at Takht-i-Khushkuyeh near Bandar Abbas were received in April when the
Health Officer proceeded to Bandar Abbas to make necessary enquiries. He
rep 01 ted on return that the cause of the epidemic was a surfeit of locusts.
In the month of June the Health Officer received instructions from the Capital
to establish quarantine posts against cholera, which had appeared in Jallalabad
(Afghanistan). He proceeded to Bam to see if any posts could be established
above Bam in the direction of Persian Baluchistan and Sistan, but returned with
out achieving any object.
There were a few cases of typhoid at Sar-i-Asiab, a village 3 miles to the East
of the town, in Eebruary, otherwise the general health of the town has been fair
in spite of the extreme poverty of the masses and their under-nourishment.
14. Russian Interests .—The acting Soviet-Consul General, Ispahan, visited
Kerman in the middle of August and paid a call on His Majesty’s Consulate which
was returned.
In the month of September three Bolshevik agents, Predit Echensinj, Yoori
Bezrofoff and Yoori Worksi arrived from Duzdab with the intention of proceeding
to Persian Baluchistan. They called themselves locust experts and expressed
a desire to visit Jiruft and Budbar. The Governor-General arranged for them to
be accompanied by the Kerman representative of the Locust Department. They
tried to visit Bandar Abbas also, but the condition of the road in September
forced them to return from Sirj an. They eventually left for Tehran.
Early in the year the Bureau Perse advertised in the local paper the opening
of their branches in Kerman, Sirjan, Bandar Abbas, Rafsinjan, and Yezd for
forwarding goods from Bandar Abbas to the interior and vice versa. They also
offered to°ship goods to any part of the world from Bandar. Abbas by Russian
steamers.
M. Bysiantsky, the Russian Trade Representative in Kerman, was replaced
by M. Belooshapkin who had been in Kerman before. He is assisted by one
Russian assistant and a Persian interpreter.
The Russians decreased their commitments to a great extent during the
latter half of the year.
In the Kerman province the Russians hold 18 per cent, of the trade in
kerosene and 22 per cent, of that in petrol, the balance being done by the Anglo-
Persian Oil Company, Limited.
15. Military .—Sartip Rahimi, the Officer Commanding Kerman Teep, was
transferred to Shiraz while on short leave in Tehran in January. His brother,
Yawar Rahimi, acted for him till relieved by Sarhang Abbas Khan, Nauzari,
in the end of Eebruary. The Sarhang immediately on arrival asked the Military
Inspector from Tehran, Sarhang Ghulam Hussein Khan, who had already arrived
in Kerman for the purpose, to inspect the Qushuni accounts with the result that
within a week’s time Yawar Rahimi was put under arrest. As he was first
reluctant to obey the order of his arrest, he was roughly handled by the new Officer
Commanding, who continued in his endeavours to discover cases of corruption
against Sartip Rahimi (Ali Shah Khan). In June he confined to barracks Dr.
Yawar Seyid Mohamed Khan, the Principal Medical Officer of the Brigade. The
Yawar, who served in the South Persia Rifles, had made himself very popular.
He was known to be a rich man and a close friend of Sartip Ali Shah Khan. It
appears that Yawar was told that if he wished to escape a charge of lunacy, he
must either pay up or give evidence against the Sartip. However, he found an
alternative by slipping his guards and jumping down a well where he was
drowned.
In the month of April the Military authorities in Kerman arrested the two
notorious brothers, Darwish Khan and Mohamed Khan, sons of late Agha Haji
Duragahi. Mohamed Khan had for some time been put in charge of the Sirjan-
Tang-i-Zagh section of the Kerman-Bandar Abbas motor road. Both brothers
were charged of helping Sheikh Abul Hassan Sarkuhi during the 1929 rebellion.
Mohamed Khan had just married the daughter of Rafat-ud-Dauleh, Isfandiari,
the assistant Governor-General in Kerman, who too was dismissed shortly after
wards.
