IN THE LAND OF THE SHAH.
MISERY IS VERY GENERAL IX THIS
ORIENTAL, COt'NTRY.
Parse*** ami Xlolin minetlan* Some
Personal Recollection* of n Trip
Through Persia—The Craze for
Titles Carried to an Extreme.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The European trip of the Shah ar.d the
attempt to assassinate him have attract- ,
,and attention to that country, the history
of which dates from hoary antiquity. Per
sia is one of the four countries—China,
Turkey and Morocco fce.ng the other
thrt—which have been marked out os
ready for partit on. It3 present condition
is so wretched that its inhabitants are
utterly indifferent to whatever political
changes may take place, as no change
could well be for th<" worse. Tb? Shah is
apparently a well-intentioned man, but *o
far he has done nothing, nor does it
seem likely that he will be able to do
anything for the welfare of his people.
That the prevailing misery and misgov
ernment have led to general and or
gan 7-ed outbreaks aga'r.s the existing
condition of affairs is due to two causes;
tte first, that the Persians, all Ori
entnls*. are easy-going and Png-suffering;
the second, that they are vaguely look
ing for help from without.
The rorslans—like the rest of the Quad
ruple alliance to which they belong—have
the highest possible opinion of themselves,
and call the liani, the noble;
the st of the world they name the Tu
ra ni, the ignoble.
Parsec* and Mohammedans.
Practically all the Persians- are Parsecs
or Mohammedans, the latttr being by tar
more numerous. The Par.ees are the
direct descendants of the old P rs an fire
worshippers, whose religion they maintain
rn ite pristine purity. I,ike their co-relig
ion Ist in they are distinguished
for their nobility and uprightne>s of char
acter. Because o? their firo-worshlp they
were formerly subjected to persecution,
hut row live in pface among the Moham
medans. There are but some 40) or 50)
fnrni ies of Parsees left. Their capital is
Obest.
It :s noticeable that even among the
Mohammedans there are taints of fire
worship, for in the walls of many of the
towns through which I passed I noticed
riches, in which, at suntise pnd sunset,
trumpets are blown and drums banged in
honor of the great luminary. The noise
made is enough to wake the dead, and
worse still to wake the living. The Mo
hammedans belong to the Shiite sect, and
they have th • most lively, natural and
reiigious hatred of ar.d cent mpt fo- the'r
Turkish co-religionists, who belong to the
unorthodox or Sunnite sect.
V (lifted People.
The Persians are a gifted and charming
people, of a high grade of intelligence, al
though their ' character is marred by
strong shadows. Between the upper and
lower classes there is a great gulf—a gulf
as great and impassable as that which di
vided Dives from Lazarus. The “up
pers” treat the “lowers” as if they were
dirt; the “lowers” l>ow To the “uppers”
as if they were gods.
What impressed me most among the
Persians* was their universal thirst for
gold and their abnormal greed for titles,
decorations and honors. If Mr. United-
States-English Astor would go to that
country he would be received as a man
aftfcr their own heart, and would get more
titles than he could remember—and new
ones every day.
The Persian is the most consummate
swaggerer conceivable. In his mind
clothes come immediately after money
and titles In importance. His idea of
happiness is to strut about in the most
magnificent coats, and to produce due ef
fect. he frequently piles six or seven on
top of each or her. But, to go back to
litles. such appellations as excellency,
worthiness, honor, etc., are ns common
there as Mr. in the Northern states or
'•olonel in the Sou4h. Even the servants
in the kitchen address each other in the
most highfalutin style, for instance: “Will
your Honor fcour the dishes?” “I will see
your Excellency hanged first. It’s your
turn to-day.”
Women Without Rights.
The Persian women may have rights,
hut they have ye*t to be discovered. The
marriage bond is not allowed to become
tiresome to man, who very easily gets rid
of a wdfe he no longer wants by sending
her back to her father. The Shah has
the most delightful way of freeing himself
of those who are no longer pleasing to
him, and at the same time of gratifying
Ms spite—he gives them to his ministers.
The relations between the Persian mon
arch and his people are less than those of
ruler to his subjects than of a father to
his children—a father whose children have
the righl! to support him. If the Shah
learns that one of his beloved subjects
is getting wealthy, or wealthier, he visits
him. This visit is rendered all the more
serious an honor as His Majesty never
travels in his own country with a retinue
of less than several hundreds, all of whom
have to be fed, and who expect (and ob
tain) presen’s, from their unwilling host.
They only w r ay to get rid of them is to
pay them to go away.
The Shah’s Private City.
The Shah’s (figurative) tent is pitched at
Teheran. There rests his ark—in olhr
words, his private city. This consists c-f
the Rirnum. or outer city, for men; and
the. Erdirum, or reserved inner city, for
v/omen. There is not one, but several
palaces in one of which is a large room
devoted to the storage of the treasures of
the Shah. In this room >here are twelve
bollcw pillars, of from six to seven feet
high and one foot indiametcr, all of which
are full of pearls. Boxes lie about full of
rubies, emeralds, diamonds and other
precious stones. These boxes are from
Delhi, and were p<art of the plunder
brought back frbm that city by an an
cestor of the Shah, who made and annexa
tion tfip there. One of the most remarka
ble objects of interest in the room is a
globe, one and a half feet in diameter, of
solid gold, which revolves in a golden
Irame. On this globe the equator and the
tropics are marked in diamonds; the bor
ders of countries are picked out In rubles,
turquoises and pearls; while the place oc
cupied on the earth's surface by the Per
sian monarchy is completely covered with
diamonds of remarkable brilliance.
The noble Persian does not condescend
to walk about the streets, but drives in a
closed carriage, attended by numerous out
riders r.nd attendants. The whole cortege
moves at a great rate, and fi is w’ell for
the common people in the way if they can
go* off the earth. It sometimes happens
that the overhanging burden of a mule ig
< aught by the wheel and thrown on the
ground. The muleteer naturally curses,
the driver lashes him in the face with his
'•hip for daring to be in the way, and
drives on
The Ladles of the Zennnn.
One of the sights of Teheran is the ap
pearance of the Shah and the ladies of
’/.- nona. Red-coaied outrunners, with sil
er-headed canes, and headgear like the
omb of • rooster; *|>earmen from the
loyal nomadic tribes, and the executioner,
w'ith his Ynule hearing his weapons. Them*
form the advance guard and surround the
Shah. The ladies teach of whom Is borne

them, as it might result in an application
of tire bastinado.
The Instruments with which the govern- j
ment is carried on are the Telleck and the i
Tscnoek The first is a stout stick; the
latier a bundle of slim and supple rods. It
h typical of Persia that when the rods I
nave been applied, the seourgers ask the
victim for a p r esent.
Every government official, from the gov
ernor of a prevince to the humble scribe,
pays a certain sum for his post, and take3
good care to get back what he invests,
with *l6 good an interest as possible.
Much was expected from the European
trip of the late Shah. The only result
which I noticed was the introduction of
patent leather shoes.
I nder the presem shah the squeezing of
♦he provinces has been carried on to a
greater extent than ever, and England and
Russia rook advantage of the dissatisfac
tion to step in. It was when Russian in
fluence began to predominate that the
shah resolved to follow the example of his
father and make a European trip.
MR. WESTCOTT TESTIFIES.
Tell* of Handling Carter’s Bond*.
Received From Greene.
The New York Sun of Saturday has the
following respecting the story told by Mr.
R. F. Westcott on the stand before Uni
ted States Commissioner Shields, in the
Greene-Gaynors heaVing:
Capt. Carter was appointed to be the
military attache at the Court of St. Jnmos
in the summer of 1897. He had been at
his new post only a few days when his
successor at Savannah. Capt. Gillette,
discovered a state of affairs in the gov
ernment work there that called for an
investigation of Capt. Carter’s conduct.
A board of inquiry was appointed and*
Capt. Carter at once returned to thl
country. The examination of Mr. West
cott began with the questions about events
immediately following Capt. Carter’s re
turn to this country. Mr. Erwin asked
him when he first had any talk with Oapr.
Carter about his troubles. Mr. Westcott,
who was clearly nervous and unhappy,
said that Carter had said nothing tbout
the cause for his return from England
a! first. His first intimation that any
thing out of the wnv had happened was
when Carter telegraphed to him to come
to Washington. He found Car/er there.
They had lunch together and /arter said
that he had osked his fatVr-in-law to
come to Washington because he was
lonely and wanted company. They re
turned at once to New York. On their
arrival Mr. Westcott said Carter told.him
that he was in trouble. He said that
he was afraid that he would be arrested
on account of the proceedings of the
Court of Inquiry, nnd that in that case
ai: his papers would be seized bv the
government. He asked Mr. Westcott to
take charge for him of certain stocks and
bonds of great value. Mr. Westcott said
that he at first refused to hove anything
t<> do with the property, as he had some
doubt as to how much its possession might
implicate him in any proceedings that
might he taken against Carter.
Carter then told him. he continued, that
ihe stocks and bonds had already been
turned over by Carter to Greene and the
Gaynors and that he did not care to have
them keep so much, that It might be diffi
cult for him to reclaim. Upon these rep
■ esentations Mr. Westcott consented to
receive the papers after receiving the ad
vice of his counsel. Thomas Thatcher, that
he might do so without entangling him
self. He telephoned to Greene, who was
at the Hoffman House, asking for a meet
ing for the handing over of the securities.
Greene and the Gaynors showed some re
luctance in meeting his requests, but after
a few days Greene appeared at Westcott’s
city house with all the securities
amounting to about $450,000. Greene, Mr
Westcott said, wanted to leave the bonds
there, but Westcott would not have them
in the house when anybody beside himself
knew they were there. Mr. Westcott said
this with a grin. He then compelled
Greene to accompany him downtown to
the vaults at 142 Broadway, where the se
curities were placed in a box hired by Mr.
Westcott. Afterward, when he had learn
ed more about the way in which Carter
had acquired these bonds, Mr. Westcott,
by advice of counsel, returned them to
Carter, taking a receipt for them. The re
ceipt was put in evidence.
Mr. Westcott told how the Greene-Gay
nor people had attempted to convince him
that he was a partner in the Atlantic
( ontraeting Company. The counsel of the
accused men visited his counsel, he said
and tried to secure from him an acknowl
edgment that he was a partner in the con
cern. At last Greene admitted in the
the presence of Mr. Thatcher that Mr
Westcott had never been a partner In the
contracting firm and that the only object
of getting him to say that he had been a
member was to save Carter.
After that, Mr. Westcott said. Carter
and the olhers asked him to go before the
court of inquiry and state that all the
great sums which passed through Car
ters hands belonged to Westcott and had
been handled by Carter merely as West
cott's attorney. “I told them," said the
witness, "that I couldn't do that. rt
would have been a lie; I couldn't swear to
what I knew as a lie. They kept after
me all the time and I went to Europe and
stayed until It was all over.”
District Attorney Erwin then began to
bring out the business relations between
Carter and Mr. Westcott. He showed
that in several eases where Carter had
bought pieces of property in the name of
Robert F. Westcott, the property had af
terward been transferred to Carter, and
Carter had paid Mr. Westcott for it in
full. He also testified that bonds which
Carter had bought for Mr. Westcott had
also been transferred to Carter upon the
payment of the price of the bonds to Mr.
Westcott. Mr. Westcott's testimony show
ed that while Carter had full authority
i to use Mr. Westcott’s hank account ns he
Pleased, and to use his name as he pleas
ed, large sums of money, of which Mr.
Westcott had no knowledge, were added
to the account in his absence and used
in his name. These sums were with
drawn afterward and made over to Car
ter, to whom they belonged. In this way
Mr. Westcott's acoaunts, which were in
evidence, showed that Westcott had made
loans to various sub-contractors in Sa
vannah to carry on their work. Mr. West
cott sold yesterday that he had never
heard of these people and knew nothing
of the loans.
Mr Kellogg remarked once or twice
during the examination that he wished
he might have known the witness was
coming He was not satisfied with the way
in which the district attorney brought
out seme of the testimony and constant
ly accused him of leading the witness.
"Treat him like any other witness!" he
exclaimed once. "This Is a court. Ask
him to name the date and place of con
versation and then ask him who was
present. The Secretary of War hasn't
anything to do with this ”
“I’m not sure,” said Mr. Westcott, ap
pealing to the c mmissloner. "May I ans
wer that question? I cannot very well
protect myself ”
"The Secretary of War will protect
you." shouted Mr. Kellogg, bouncing up
in his chair again. His manner was quite
explosive. "His partner sits right over
there to see that the deal goes through.
This makes me llred, anyway. Protec
tion!”
Mr. SHmson had risen at the first men
tl->n of the Secretary of War. He was
sitting aerrss the table from Mr Kelloeg
and was nearly fifteen feet from h'm. Mr.
Stlmeon’s face was quite while. "What
do you mean?" he satd to Mr. Kellogg
and advanced a lorg step across the
room.
"Oh. go cn,” raid Mr Ke'logg. "I know
y hat I am talking about. You can’t—'*
'■What do you mean, sir?" repeated
Mr Stlmson. who was bs!de the tabl“
by this time and was leaning across it,
looking at Mr. Kellogg squarely In the
eye,,
The general uproar was constantly In
creasing. The commissioner barely made
himself heard as he shouted at the top
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, AUGUST 13, 1900.
of his vcice: "Will somebody bring a
United States Marshal here at once? I
want a United States Marshal."
Mr. Kellogg was quiet at once. He sat
down and simply glared through h s
glasses at everybody in the room. Ev
erybody else was quiet. The Commis
sioner said In a moderate tone; “I may
have to have somebody arrested."
"Let me say," eakl Mr. SHmson. "that
Mr. Westcott is my personal client and
that l*am here altogether in his inter
est.”
Mr. Kellogg bounced up, looked at the
commissioner, bit hte lip end sal down.
He then listened almost meekly to a brief
lecture which was read to him by the
commissioner. The examination of the
witness went on. Check after check,
deed after deed and contract after con
tract was shown to the witness, who iden
tified each one. It was quite impossible
for one not familiar with the case to fol
low the significance of the testimony, but
Mr. Erwin said afterward that by com
paring the hooks of the different banks
In which Carter. Greene and the Gaynors
had kept their accounts, and by looking
over the books of the brokers nnd others
with whom Carter had transactions and
by an analysis of the Westcott accounts
during the time that Carter had charge
of them, it was susceptible of proof that
every time a payment was made by Car
ter to the contracting company as dis
bursing agent only the part of It needed
for current expenses was kept In Savan
nah. The rest of it was deposited to the
credit of one of the Gaynors or to the
credit of Greene, in a New York hank.
Within a day or two after it was deposited
the amount was divided into thirds. Two
thirds of It was traced by checks to
the possession of the Gaynors and Greene
after that, and one-third was checked
out in cash. Invariably within a feiv
days after such a division had been made
Carter appeared in New York and bought
stocks or bonds or real estate to the ex
act amount of the one-third that had not
been converted into cash. Nearly all
these purchases were made in the name
of Mr. Westcott. It was to prove that
the purchases, although made under Mr.
Westcott's name, were not really made
for him. that his testimony was of the
utmost value.
Mr. Westcott's cross-examination was
postponed until after the summer adjourn
ment to Sept. 27.
