By the Assoclated Press. SEATTLE, April 24.—The asserted ex- istence and operation in San Francisco of a potential death ray machine, pro- ducing 3,000,000 volts of . man-made hining and said to be capable of de- veloping twice that power, stirred the imagination of engineers here today. Announcement of the invention was made simultaneously in San Francisco and Séattle yesterday. C. H. Melsome- Smith, an engineer of the Pacific Gas & Eleetrie Co., in San Francisco, de- clared the machine, invented by Hector Hassell, former Seattle wireless in- structor, ‘was housed somewhere in the California city. but refused to say where. At the same time'John T. Martin, president of the Marjohn Mines Co., ex- hibited films of the ray to stockholders of his company here yesterday. He said the machine was being used to refine ores. Spark 13 Feet. Martin declnreq the invention’was a death ray only in' the sense that it pro- duced enormous destructive power. He said its primary function was to oper- ate commercially. Martin declared the machine had thrown a spark 13 feet and that its power would be capable of jumping a gap 30 feet between termi- nals. The machine thus apparently has power to destroy life or disintegrate any solutions placed in its path. The ray is used to disintegrate min- eral solutions into their various ele- ments and is the result of. 14 years of experimentation. Hassell was employed by the company months, Martin “gald, the set-up complete and 500,000 volts was duced. At the next trial it was nlua to 1,000,000 and 10 days later to 3,000,- 000, he declared. “I am convinced that we could easily be able to produce twice that amount,” Martin said, “but we would have no use for it.’ Denies Transmutation.
