From the Lawrence Daily World for Feb. 25, 1910: Sunday if the weather will permit the mammoth turbine engine at the local power plant will be tried. It will be the first test in the city and many anticipate a boost in local power. If weather is bad, the test will come later. The turbine will help prevent any more power outages from ice floes on the Kaw River, as we had earlier this year. The only other such turbine in the city is at the university. The new turbine is more powerful and serves more area. . . . The YWCA girls have settled the touchy issue of only men being seated at their banquet while they could only wait tables. The seating is now open to male and female as it should be. . . . O.C. Pueschel who was fined and jailed for selling wine and whisky has been allowed to leave jail to tend his farm and work with his family. He will be watched, of course, by lawmen. . . . W.O Hamilton’s Kansas basketball team has been leaving a trail of defeated teams in their latest tour and their latest victim was Iowa State at Ames. Nebraska was defeated earlier.
