PEN SENTENCE
i San Quentin, Calif., May 10.
—John J. McNamara was re-
leased from the state penitenti-
ary here today after serving 9
I years and 5 months for dyna-
miting th Llewellyn Iron Works
at Los Angeles in 1910. He was
sentenced to serve 15 years, but
earned the maximum reduction
by good conduct.
Alathean Cla«H Entertained.
Ranking am^ng the most en-
i terprising of the classes in the
1 Baptist Sunday school is the
Alathean class of which Mrs. A.
L. Leake is teacher and Mrs. H.
G. Humphrey is president.
It is a class of congenial mem-
bers who are “live wires” at
anything they undertake.
This spirit was exemplified in
the class party on Thursday af-
ternoon when Group No. 1 very I
delightfully entertained the;
other groups of the class in the
primary room at the church.
The room gave forth a pleas-
ing decorative note with its ar-
rangement of blooming pot
plants and ferns and a hand-
shaking contest served to start
the afternoon’s merriment.
The guests were then re-'
quested to divide into five
i groups and each group was
'asked to pantomime a particu-j

Business is reported “picking
up” with the I. & G. N. Many
men who have been laid off are
being put back to work, and it
is to be hoped that normal and
even better conditions will soon
obtain.
The resignation of A. G.
Whittington as general mana-
ger of the I. & G. N. is a matter
of interest to citizens of Mart,
where he resided many years
