A CLEAN SWEEP
NEW SULTAN TIDIES UP OFFICIALS AND CONCUBINES DISMISSED (Suu Cable) LONDON, Nov. 21. The Rabat correspondent of the Daily Mail states that the boy Sultan’s first act was to dismiss his father’s 300 wives and concubines, also Sidi Abdallah, the palace major domo and his father’s boyhood friend, whose sentiments were anti-French. The Sultan declined Sidi’s plea for an interview, and the slaves enthusiastically ejected their former hard taskmaster. Nearly all the functionaries have been dismissed except the Grand Vizier El Mokri. The Sultan is devoting three days to prayer at the tombs of his ancestors.
