REFUSED TO PAY TAXES
WARLIKE PERSIAN TRIBE. MINISTER KILLED IN SKIRMISH. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) TEHERAN, April 5. _ During a tour of inspection Amir Lashkar Tashkar Tahmnspi, Minister of Public Works, was killed near Khoramabad in a skirmish with a warlike tribe of Lurs, whose constant refusal to pay taxes recently necessitated a punitive expedition. The Government announced that the Lurs were finally subdued, and the Shah departed for Khoramabad to carry out a long-projected tour of Luristan. The fact that Tahmaspi was accompanied by a strong escort suggests that the Government was not oversanguine. Consternation reigned in the Mejliss on receipt of the news, and it immediately adjourned.—Australian Press Association.
