MOLINE ATTORNEY
IN DOUBLE ROLE
Charles 5, Roberts Appears for State
and the Defendant at the Same
Time.

Playing the role Of both defending
and prosecuting attorney was an op-
portunity offered Charles S. Roberts of
Moline in the court of Justice Carstens
yesterday. Mr.. Roberts was appearing
for one Dan Fuffas. charged with strik-
ing Ruth Pascoe, an employee in the
Boston restaurant, owned by Fudas.
While waiting tor the representative
of the state to appear Mr.. Roberts was
called to the telephone. On the other
end of The wire was States Attorney
Thompson who asked that the Moline
attorney represent the state in the
case, AS attorney for the defendant
Mr.. Roberts moved that the case be
dismissed. In the capacity Of prose
cutting attorney he then moved that the
case be continued until Monday after
noon. Judge Carstens decided that
Roberts spoke in the more convincing
manner when he made his second mo-
ton and continued the case.

Dangerous NitrogIYcerIn.

Nitroglycerin is a fearfuIly danger
Gus explosive and at a temperature of
only 100 degrees-that is. very little
more than the warmth OF the human
body-it begins 10 decompose.
Tons Of nitroglycerin are turned out
every day, for it is the explosive from
which guncotton is made But all the
mixing watts are artificially cooled by
coils of cold water pipes.
The cleaner nitroglycerin is made
the less the danger. consequently it
undergoes any number Of washings be-
fore it is fit for use. In the earlier
days of its manufacture nitrogiycerin
waste water was allowed to run away
through open drains, or into streams.
1t was not realized that this waste
constituted a source of danger until.
