MUSIC AND CHAINS
ARE ALEXANDRIA HITS

Music crowds locks and chains for
the headline position on the Alhambra
vaudeville bill which opened Friday
evening for the week.
The Cox seXtet announces on the
printed program, thar 1t has appeared
on the Orpheum and Pantages circuits
and they proved that they are good
enough for the big time" circuits by
singing and dancing so well that the
encOres before the Cox family were per-
mitted to close the act.
The seXuet includes three girls, a
boy, wee bit of a lad, and a man
who plays the piano accompaniment
and furnishes most of the wholesome
fun. They sing popular songs without
any shouting, sing semi classical songs
with finish that is most pleasing and
do everything with an enthusiasm which
makes their act get over, and enter
tanned the first night audience i'm
mensely.
Leroy the "handcuff king" wraps
himself in ton, more or less, of chains,
handouts, padlOcks and straight jack
cts. He then proceeds to get free Of
the chains with considerable effort and
wear and tear on his shirt. He said
Friday night that the way the chains
were placed by the volunteer assistants
made his effort in freeing himself the
hardest he had ever had, and he looked
it when he took his final bow. He
also releases himself from a straight
jacket and various handcuff combina-
tiOns.

CUBA WANTS SEED
OF Ell PASO ONION

Requests for the seed Of the Ell Paso
onion are received by Ell Paso seed deal
ers from every state in the union and
even from Cuba. H. Feeback, of the Ell
Paso Seed company, says that the man
who brings the real Ell Paso onion back
to this valley can get $50 a pound for
the seed and he will not be able to sup
ply the demand for it. Mr.. Feeback
says.
I'VE get requests almost daily for the
seed of the Ell Paso onion. There is an
onion which the trade calls the El PasO
onion, but which is not the genuine, Ell
Paso valley product which was raised
here in the old days. The great white
Iripoll onion IS like the Ell PasO onion,
but 1t does not have the color, or fla
vor, Of the original onion which made
the FL PasO valley famous
AFTER looking at the sample sent by
II. H. Schutz, Of Las Lunas, N. NJ,
would say he has rediscovered the seed
of the genuine FL Paso onion. I have
never seen the real FL PasO onion, for
that was long before came here. But,
from the descriptions given me of it by
Benigno Alderete, and other old timers
in the valley, the Las Lunas onion must
be the same as the ones that were
grown so abundantly in the valley
THAT sample is not quite flat enough
TO be the true FL Paso onion" Frank
Simmons says. Il remember the onions
well and they were flatter, like a tur-
nip, than the sample sent from Las Lu-
mas. Those were great onions and I
valley"
TT is a mistake, I believe. to say
that the FL Paso onion seed has been
lost" H B. Stevens says. Il believe
that number Of the native ranchers in
the valley and across the river are
raising Ine real FL Paso onion, but they
know nothing Of the effort to locate
the seed"

WILL TRY AGAIN To
BRING FRENCH BACK
Second Set of Requisition
Papers Is Issued for the
Promoter.

Another set of requisition papers ask
ing for the return of G. W. French, pro-
moter of the Pacific Development COM
psny, was prepared by the county at
torney yesterday and now complaint
charging French with obtaining money
under false pretepses wns issued on
complaint of George o. Relf, manager
OF the Hotel Utah. n, &. Morgan, as
sstnnt county attorney, will leave this
afternoon for Sacramento to present
the papers TO Governor Hiram Johnson
and urge that they be honored.
In the latest complaint French is al
legged TO have passed q draft for S1400
at tho Hotel Utah by representing that
ii was worth its face value, whereas 1t
was worthless, according to the COM
plant. In the first complaint French
was alleged 10 have passed a draft for
$1,000 on the hotel This first draft was
not honored by D. Won Crsmer Of Van
couver, on whom it was drawn, though
at the hearing III Sacramento last week
Cramer, it is said, denied having re-
pudiated the draft.
The second draft was drawn on ]. F.
Clark, who acted as counsel for French
at the extraditiou hearing. Clark re-
fused payment of the draft, it is said.
The county attorney has considered
proceeding against Clark in connection
with the worthless drafts, though no
action has been taken to that end.
