BOSTON. July 12.-Misuse by Industrial

papermen who needed bail money and a
newspaper man are among those alleged
to have been benefited.
Trautman. Joseph Bedard and Joseph
Shahen composed the strikers relief COM
mittee. and are accused by the attorney
general of having used s19,6fS of the
fund for purposes other than for which
it was intended.
In his affidavit Trautman SAYS that he
never handled the funds and that many
payments were made without the consent
or knowledge of the committee. and for
which none Of the three should be held
liable.
New Set of Books Opened.
When the committee was called INTO
court Trautman says a new set OF BOOKS
were opened by others and items OF re-
ceipts that came in his mail, which was
opened by unauthorized persons. were
not entered until months afterward. when
it was found that money had been for
warded and not accounted for. one OF
these instances was the forwarding OF
$3.50 by j. Tobin of Detroit. Mich.
Trautmar charges that subsequently, by
specific order OF Vincent st. John gem

says that at least $500 Of the fund.
which had totaled $7s.O0O. was used to
pay salaries and expenses OF persons VINO
had arrived in Massachusetts after the
termination of the strike. and these men
were under orders of Vincent ST. John.

BUILDING Of TISSUES
BY AID Of THE X RAYS
Denver Physician Claims to
Have Discovered Remedy for
tuberculosis.

DENVER, Col. July 12.-Dscovery Of
treatment for tuberculosis which, it is
said, has effected So per cent of cures
the last twelve years was announced by
DR.. j. d. Gibson, Denver physician and
X-ray expert at the meeting Of the
National Society of Physical Therapeutics
in this city
The reading of the paper aroused wide
interest. especially as the treatment sug
gested by DIR. Gibson is along entirely
new lines and does away with the use of
toxine, serums and like agencies.
DR.. Gibson's treatment Is based entirely
upon the X-rays. He styles it ''intensi-
flying natural elements until they become
therapeutic agents. Usually during the
third month. in ordinary cases. the rales
begin to disappear. and he counts on the
lungs being clear by the end of the fourth
month.
Best Effects in Late Stages.
The ray, according to DR.. Gibson. has
more influence on the second and third
stage cases than on incipient cases of
very slight involvement. He also says
that any case that has vitality sufficient
to react to the influence of the rays and
furnish amboceptors. or anti-toXin. thus
completing the NdCCiile III inc
blood and tissues. is susceptible to ina
provement by the use of the rays with
proper dosage. nursing, food and care.
He declares he has seen more than one
ptient almost raised from the dead.
DR.. Gibson further states that this
treatment is not dependent upon circula-
ton, but penetrates all tissues, bones,
muscles. etc. 1t also penetrates the tu-
bercles, old and young, with its inhibiting
effect OH bacill, something that can be
accomplished by no other agent.
Intensified Sunlight.
The X-ray Is only intensified sunlight,
says DIR. Gibson, and you can put more
light through the lungs in ten minutes
with the X-ray than you will get in a
month of sunshine.
In concluding his paper DR.. Gibson said ::
These are some of the conclusions 1
have reached from observing something
more than four hundred cases, forty six
Of whom are dead from various causes.
The balance are alive at this time. and
the vast majority of them are breadwin-
ners. BY far the larger percentage were
