Account in du Croo’s Generaal Swart (1943)
From W. Muurling
In May 1911 the Kedjoerön Petiambang and fourteen prominent chiefs visited, under Muurling’s leadership, the jaarmarkttentoonstelling at Koeta Radja; the administration was temporarily conducted by lieutenant Snell, who while acting brought in eight more uitgewekenen and four muzzle-loaders. During that visit Rödjö Tjoet Pasér with his panglimas and the blah-heads of Pasér and Reröbö solemnly begged the Governor’s forgiveness.
From Koeta Radja
In 1910 a Normaalcursus for the training of village schoolteachers was founded at Koeta Radja, which brought the necessary improvement in the quality of volksonderwijs. In 1915 Swart laid the first stone of the building of the Javasche Bank. In 1911 the jaarmarkttentoonstelling (annual fair exhibition) at Koeta Radja was visited under Muurling’s leadership by the Kedjoerön Petiambang and fourteen prominent chiefs of the Gajò Loeös, during which Rödjö Tjoet Pasér with his panglimas and the blah-heads of Pasér and Reröbö solemnly begged the Governor’s forgiveness. In December 1916 a meeting of progressive young oelèëbalangs and Acehnese officials was held at Koeta Radja in Swart’s presence, out of which the Sarekat Atjeh arose.
From Gajòlanden
1911 brought steady submissions — twenty-two of Penosan in January with all their panglimas, twenty-five of Pasér and Reröbö in February — and in March the apparent end of Lebé Grondong, surprised between Tampor and Lésten by a brigade under sergeant Wisse with a haul of one M.95 rifle, a Mauser repeating rifle, a Beaumont and a Mauser self-loading pistol. The same month brought the murder of Rödjö Kemala at the instigation of his kinsman Si Taib, and Taib’s escape from the transport escort at Lésten and death, wounded and starving, on the twenty-sixth.
