THREATS MADE

SAN FRANCISCO, April 16. CUP
- Large crowds attended a theatei
here today for personal appearances
of Primo Camera, Italian heavy.
weight, while California's athletic
commission continued investigation
Of his bout with Leon Chevalier
2l6 pound negro, at Oakland Mon
cay night.
Commissioner Charles Traun 2,
head of the official inquiry, had
secured a good sized transcript of
testimony about the sixth round vie
tory of Camera over Chevalier when
Bob Perry, who was receiving $50
fer administering TO the negro e
needs between rounds, threw a towel
into the ring.
Included in tvs record was Che
valier's charge that Perry had toid
him between the first and second
rounds, "I1l kill you if you don /
take kayo punch-I'll bolw your
heart out
Traung announced that among the
witnesses h he intends to question
possibly today, is Frank Churchill,
western representative of Camera.
Churchill readily admitted he sat
behind Chevalier's corner during
tine fight but denied he had talked
with Perry between rounds. He
added it would have been of offense
if he had held a conversation with
Perry during the bout.
Perry's license to act as a see
ord was ordered suspended indefl-
nitely by the commission following
the Testimony of Chevalier that his
life had been threatened if he did
not take kayo punch and after
witnesses had testified they had
seen Perry talking to Frank Church
i'll during the fight.
After the suspension Of Perry S
license the commission adjourned
without setting date for resump-
tion of the hearing.
That Chevalier was fighting vail
antly and could have finished the
10 rounds was the opinion expressed
by Tim McGrath, the negro's man
ager. in testifying before the com
mIsisoncrs.
Chevalier testified he was assured
5000 as his end of the purse. He said
that. Bob Laga, his chief second,
had told him he could not win the
fight.
Chevalier further declared that
Perry said to him on his way from
the dressing room "I'd have to lay
down. The negro said he replied,
II won't do it. ! am going to do
my best to beat Camera. Between
lounds he put grease on my face
that hurt my eyes and burned my
mouth .r

HUGE X.RAY TUBES
 WILL BENEFIT SICK
Ten Foot Device Practi- cally Produces Radium
 Rays

Pasadena. Cal, Sept. IS P-A new giant X-ray tube which design CTS believe will unleash healing pow CTS which cannot be surpassed by use of radium has been developed at the California Institute of Technology here.
 The tube, measuring 10 feet in length and 12 inches in diameter, was designed and developed by Dr. c. c. Lauritsen and his associates, Dr. Robert A. Millikan noted physicist, acted in an advisory capacity.
 In appealing to physicists to device a more powerful X-ray tube, Dr. Rollin H. Stevens, of Detroit, secre- tary of the Pathological Research Institute, recently said i've now pro- duce X-rays of from 5000 to 250,o00 volts and if we went to 300,000 or 100000 volts we could get practically radium rays from an X-ray> tube and we know results would be much bet ter. But we cannot go that high for we lack the tubes to stand it."
 Dr. Lauritsen and his associates said they were producing X-rays with more than 600000 volts.
 The tube, experimented with for the last three years. recently was re- built by Dr. Lauritsen to allow ob- servation at close range.
 Rays from the tube can be de- tected through two inches of lead and are apparent through more than two feet of concrete.
