LONDON, Nov. 2. (A. P.) A dis

The Daily Express has a similar re

IN PERSIA
A SURPRISE
Overthrow of Dynasty Not Ex
pected in London Shah
Deposed and Reza Khan
Reported to Have Seized the
Throne Teheran Is Re
ported to Be Quiet.
LONDON, Nov. 2. (A.t. P.) The
deposition of the shah of Persia by the
Persian national assembly "for the
sake of the, national welfare" caused
no surprise here, buf the action of the
mejlisa on Saturday, In the over
throwing of the dynasty, had not been
expected. The succession of some
member of the family frequently had
been suggested when reports of the
Impending dethronement of Sultan
Ahmed Mlrza, the 27 year old shah,
were current.
Some doubt is expressed as to
whether the abolition of the dynasty
represents the feeling among the f"er
Bians, who are said to have the theo
retical conception that the monarcy
waa strong. The voice of the people,
It la though here, will probably be
heard on this point as soon aa elec
tions to the announced cnostltuent as
sembly begins. Much, however, seems
likely to depend on Premier Reza
Knhn. who Is regarded not as a strong
mnn but possessed both of strategy
and of , statecraft. He will likely
sound public opinion respecting the
form of the new government. .' It la
said he can afford to do this, aa It Is
virtually certain he will retain all real
power in Persia In any case.' '
There Is' a rumor in London that
Reza has seized the' throne himself,
but this cannot he confirmed. A dis
patch to the Morning Post from. Te
heran, the Persian capital, reports
that tho former crown' prince left . the
city on Saturday for Paris, accompa
nied by a detachment 'of soldiers. The
dispntch adds that everything was
quiet and that the city was to be il
luminated for th fee nights as a sign
of rojoiclng. :- '
From Groom to Premier
Reza Kahn has risen from a humble
station. He formerly was groom and
subsequently a trooper In the Persian
Cossncks. He suddenly gained prom
inence, when In 1921, he headed a
military revolt which overthrew the
government. Reza then became war
minister nnd fn 1921 premier. He de
clared himself In favor of a republic
but wns thwarted In, his efforts to es
tablish one by the opposition of the
priests.
However, Reza has held power since
thnt time as the virtual dictator, mod
eling his conduct in example of Mus
tapha Kernel Pasha, president of Tur
key. Enrly In 11)25, he Induced the
national assembly to appoint him
commander In chief of the army.
The Morning Post says the shah
recently determined to return to Per
sia from his unlimited vacation in Eu
rope nnd engaged a Hulte on a liner
sailing for Persia hut thnt he haa can
celled his arrangements. '
PARIS. Nov. 2, -J- (A. P.) - The
young shah of Persia appears Indif
ferent to the news from Teheran of
the overthrow of his dynasty and
seemingly Is determined to continue
