GREAT LITTLE MAN is
STAR OF UNIQUE BILL

MI Al. JAMES D. DOYLE, less than
MI four feet tall and of Lilliputian
AtA and Tom Thumb fame, opened a
weeks engagement as the vaudeville
headliner at the Unique last night. The
diminutive entertainer proved his right to
the title of the great little man." his
funny songs, peculiar stories and odd per-
sonality combining to make the act one of
unusual interest. The major had not APP
peared in Los Angeles since 1894, when he
was the stellar attraction at the Burbank.
He will be seen and heard at every
matinee and night performance at the
Unique during the current week.
The Monarchs. musical entertainers, are
also on the list with a splendid act that
won and deserved liberal applause. Thos
Meegan and company, comedy sketch
artists, completed the olio with a turn of
splendid merit.
Richard Cummings latest production
"A Jury Trial" was the new offering of
the Unique comedy company. 1t is a roar
ing farce comedy that kept the audience
in happy mood from the rise to the fall
of the curtain
Edythe Edmonds sang the illustrated
songs. and the Unique-o"scope showed
three novel films.

CITY MUST PAY MORE
FOR COAL THIS YEAR
SUPPLY COMMITTEE LAYS BLAM E
~ DEPARTMENTS
Finds Bids Are Higher Than Prices
A-k-d CT Private Consumers, and
Z IS of a Combine Are
Freely Made

unwilling to assist in possible hold
up of the city through an agreement
among dealers the city council yesterday
referred back to the supply committee
all bids for furnishing coal for the city
The committee was late in advertising
for bids and when the prices were ex-
amined it was found they ranged higher
than private consumers were asked to
pay and higher than the city paid last
year.
AS result new bids will be asked un-
less in the meantime it is deemed adj
visable to take the coal at the bids Of
fered, because the fall market is already
advancing.
Chairman Walter Wren said that the
delay of the heads of departments in
naming their probable needs for the year
put the work back and as result the
city will probably have to pay thou
sands of dollars more for coal than if
bought a month ago. Last January the
committee asked for these statistics.

GEORGE AIDE is AT WORK
ON "A PLAY FOR KENDALL

George AIDE himself Hoosier, is writ
ing a play for Ezra Kendall.
There is more in that statement than
appears on the surface. for AIDE never be-
fore his written a play to order; and Ken
dali never has had a play written for
him In fact, there are theater goers who
have never missed a Kendall show and
who assert confidently that the popular
monologist never appeared in real play
in his life.
Kendall probably will use the AIDE piece
in the east later this season. 1t has not
been named as yet, but the scenes will
be laid in Indiana, and the piece will be
more pretentious than anything the man
under the hat has yet done.
AIDE, it is thought, should succeed In
fitting Kendall nicely. In THE County
Chairman" he showed his ability to de-
pict country character in way that
spelled dollars in the box office and with
Kendall as a model he is expected to
turn out another big success.

WOMAN MUST FACE
PERJURY CHARGE.
is ACCUSED OF TESTIFYING
FALSELY
Two Senoritas Claim Mexican Con-
Victed of Burglary as Common
Law Husband and Bive
Conflicting Evidence

Josepha Borie. Mexican woman, the
star witness in the now famous Chacon
burglary case, yesterday was held for
trial in the superior court after pre-
liminary examination before Justice
Stephens on perjury charge.
Her bail was fixed at $1,000, and in de-
fault thereof she was remanded to the
county Jail, where she has been held
prisoner since the arrest of Attorney
Rymert several weeks ago.
Chacon's prosecution has caused
much scandal. The Borie woman ad-
mitted that Chacon had been her COM
mon law husband, but yesterday a
beautiful young Spanish woman took
the stand and also claimed the way
ward Chacon as her husband. Josepha
Borie alleged that on the night of the
robbery Chacon had been at her home,
which also was his house, all evening,
and that he had not once been away.
The surprise of the trial came yester-
day when a beautiful Spanish girl not
more than 20 years of age admitted that
Chacon had been her common law hus-
band also, and that on the night re-
ferred to he had been with her for a
time. She testified that during the
evening he left her, and later returned
dripping wet and bringing with him
many pieces of jewelry, and that after
looking at the jewelry they had re-
tired.
When the Borie woman heard thai
statement she glowered at her riva
but said nothing.
When Chacon was arrested charged
with the theft of watch valued at S.
the Borie woman was a strong witness
in his defense. Two other Mexicans
We're witnesses for him, but later con.
fessed to perjury, and a third Mexican
confessed to subornation of perjury
They were freed after testifying against
Attorney Rymert, who was also ac-
cused of subornation of perjury and he
was found guilty of contempt of court
and was fined $780, He is now serving
a 100-day sentence in the county Jail il
default of payment of the fine.
The Borie woman was arrested after
Chacon had been sentenced to two
years imprisonment. She pleaded not
guilty, and has thus far fought the case
after having refused to even look al
the jewelry which Chacon was alleged
to have stolen.
Yesterday her evidence at the pre-.
liminary examination was not taken
she reserVing the right to make &
statement only after appearing on tbs
witness stand in the higher court.
An effort may be made to secure hei
release on habeas corpus proceedings
