of Persian uendarmsrie and local
Political Aaviaer to got them to
to them to appear "by the 17th but
ud^DOUUiH has requested authority from Tehran to taKe
aiore active measures, through the Persian military and
genaarmerie if necessary. The Tehraii authorities still
h >d the matter under consideration at the end of the
month. It is oi interest to record that the Sub-Governor

from some unspecified quarter in Tehran to abscond. They
