From the Lawrence Daily World for Jan. 26, 1911:

• “Disregarding both the frantic signals of the owner and the lights of the stalled machine, the Ottawa plug crashed into the automobile of C. B. Mason of Eudora on the Quincy street crossing at 6 o’clock last night. The car was practically demolished but the four occupants had sufficient time to leap out of the machine and escape injury. The car was taken to the garage of the Lawrence Motor Car Company where an inventory showed the body completely demolished, one wheel crushed, the frame bent and warped, and the gearing badly twisted. The car will require a new body, and other repairs aggregating $100. It is a five passenger touring Premier.”
• “A telephone message from Rep. Don Carlos brings the information that the anti-Sunday baseball bill is apparently doomed. A bill similar to it in nature prohibiting picture shows, theatres, and all kinds of sports on Sunday was defeated in the house. Petitions signed by 40,000 persons against the bill were received; 10,000 of the signers alone are from Wichita. Rep. Kerr has an amendment prepared when the bill comes to the house to prohibit golf, croquet, tennis and other outdoor amusements on Sunday which will make the bill ridiculous, designed to defeat the measure.”
