...described as Marylanders, were said to have perpetrated a most shocking outrage in an outlandish place called Elkton, discoverable only with difficulty on Persian maps. In this apparently wild and uncivilized region natives had set upon the King of King's august Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary Ghaffar Khan Djalal on the ground that his car was "speeding"-the natural right of a great Khan. As she should beat any dog of an Iranian policeman who dared to halt the Khan, his wife was understood to have taken a crack at Elkton Town Officer Jacob Biddle. Iranians boiled with...
...Among Washington correspondents the Great Khan is known as "a squawker." Some time ago the Washington Star printed a piece critical of Iran's Government by Foreign Editor Constantine Brown. The Great Khan squawked to the State Department that he might lose his post as Minister from Iran. The Star then struck off two copies of a special edition in which Writer Brown was reported as having been arrested by order of the State Department and sent to jail for 30 days on bread & water.

He is so fond of pleasure that in the last five years his string of race horses, whose upkeep costs him $150,000 a year, have won nearly every important race in Europe, and become, with the possible exception of the Whitney stables in the U. S., the most valuable in the world...
...England, the Aga Khan's only considerable competition as a winning racehorse owner has been supplied by Lord Derby whose Bobsleigh was considered the one horse in last week's Derby which had a chance of beating unbeaten Bahram. When Bobsleigh was scratched, Bahram, a bay three-year-old by Blandford, who also sired the Aga Khan's 1930 Derby winner, Blenheim, went to the post at the phenomenally low odds, for a 16-horse race, of 5-to-4. He broke well, was in fourth place going downhill toward Tattenham Corner, came into the straightaway third...
