As a result IS lights will be discontinued and 9 reapportioned. The changes affect only the residential DOT ton of the city. and will net the city saving of about s10s0 per year.

 The city pays $70 per year for the arc lights. and those that can be dispensed with net nice saving to the city.
 The commission considered the desir- ability of cutting out six lights of the 12 in Rhodes park. After consideration, however it was decided that the entire 12 lights be turned off at certain hour al night, which will result in a saving and at the same time provide the present de- gree of illumination.
 The lights which will be cut out by or der of the commissioners to the Birming- ham Railway Light and Power company are as follows:
 Fourth avenue and Eleventh street, First avenue and Fifteenth street, Eighth street and Morris avenue, Twenty eighth street and Fourteenth avenue, Thirty first street and Eleventh avenue, Twen- ty-ninth street and Eleventh avenue, Forty-flrst street and Glenwood avenue, Forty-first street and Summit avenue.

Evidence Designed to Set
Stage for Thrilling Story
in Court.

Los ANGELES, Nov. 25.--Reports to
the contrary notwithstanding. Ortie Nc
Manigal is to be the mainstay In the
States case against John McNamara.
At a conference OF attorneys for the
State today It was developed that the
entire prosecution has been so prepared
that McManigals testimony Will fur
nish the keystone of the case.
All the evidence will be designed to
set the stage for McManigars thrill
ing story. Everything will be presented
30 that the calling OF McMnntgai near
the end OF the prosecutions case will
serve az clinch on what District At
torney Fredericks says us the most
complete case ever made against q
murderer In California"
To refute McManigals statement. the
defense will not depend on the man on
trial but on his brother.
The secretary-treasurer Of the Struc-
tural Ironwarkers' Union VIII swear
that for year he believed McManigal
was private detective. On his ability
to demonstrate this fact to the satisfac-
tion of the pury will depend J. B. Nc.
amara's fate.
With eight permanent Jurors nov Ger.
tain, the actual trial Is expected to be.
gin within a fortnight. Judge Bord.
wells decision that opiniated Jurors are
able to serve, has removed the defense's
last chance Of prolonging the case. They
have only seven peremptory challenges
chosen, and It is certain that as soor
as they are exhausted, the work Of fill-
ing the box will not take half ar
