Teheran, Persia, Oct. 31: The Majliss, or national assembly, today adopted a resolution deposing the Kajar dynasty, which has ruled the country since 1779. The vote was 80 to 85 in favor of deposition. The Majliss is a governing body with powers of a national assembly. The Majliss and a constitution were instituted in 1906 in compliance with a popular demand. Previously, the Shah of Persia was an absolute ruler. The throne of Sultan Ahmed Mirza Kajar, Shah of Persia, appears to have been tottering for at least the last two years, as the young ruler continued to show a greater liking for the pleasures of European cities and watering places than for his duties at Teheran. Rumors of his deposition have been frequent, and in March, 1924, the premier, Reza Khan, was said to be planning to establish a republic.
