From the Lawrence Daily World for August 31, 1910: “This afternoon Lawrence will entertain America’s foremost citizen. Some time between 5:45 and 6 o’clock the special car carrying Colonel Roosevelt and party will reach the city limits, and this moment will be the signal of unrestrained license among the whistles and bells over the town…. Melvern McCall, who was so seriously hurt by a fall from the World basement banisters [see OHT for August 26, 1910], is better today. The physicians are still inclined to think the skull was fractured but have abandoned all idea of operating. The lad is so young and his cranial bones are still so soft that it is believed they will unite well enough in time if undisturbed…. The Czar of Russian and the Czarina arrived in Friedburg, Hesse, today to visit the Grand Duke, Earnest Louis. An important meeting with Kaiser Wilhelm will take place. Extraordinary precautions are being taken to guard Russia’s ruler…. The wreck of the first aero glider built and successfully tried in Lawrence lies in a pasture west of town. The machine was constructed by two Lawrence young men, Ogden Jones and Frank Pryor, and was built after the model of an aeroplane, although without a motor. The machine was used in numerous trips and was successful. It was left out of the shed one night last week, and in the storm that came up the glider was torn from its moorings and the uprights broken.”
