 The proceedings were kept secret, but 1t was said that Driscoll did not tell the startling stories of corruption ac- credited to him yesterday.
 At the adjournment of the jury to- night Assistant States Attorney Fake said he was well pleased with the re- suits thus far obtained from DriscoiL The latter Is to be recalled tomorrow morning, and he was cautioned against making any statements as to what transpired within the jury room or to discuss the nature of hts testimony.

 Young Before sherman.
 Albert Young, ex-President of the Teamsters Union. occupied the stand this afternoon in the hearing before Master in Chancery Sherman. Much of the day was taken up by alterations between the attorneys.
 Young was asked a long line of ques. tions and in almost every instance he refused to answer, declaring he was afraid of standardization.
 Edward Hines, president of the Lum- bermen's Association, today submitted to President Shea. the head of the teamsters union. terms of settlement which were practically identical with those announced some time ago by the employees. Shea declined to consider them.
 Arthur Tall, a union driver, was shot this afternoon by a policeman who was escorting a lumber wagon and was fa- tally hurt Tall was sitting in a wag- on which had stopped to allow several lumber wagons, escorted by police, to pass. He jeered the officers and driv- CTS and one of the policemen drew his revolver and fired. The ball struck Tall in the back. The policeman who did the shooting jumped from the wag- on and disappeared. Later Officer Goudie was arrested charged with the shooting. He would not admit or de- ny that he had fired the shot.
 Dead Issue.
 The teamsters joint council appar- ently has come to the conclusion that the strike is "a dead issue" For the first time since the original strike against Montgomery Ward and Com pany was called the controversy was shelved in the council meeting as an "unimportant" matter of business.
 T don't see that the strike needs much attention any more" said Will liam Kelley. secretary of the Coal Teamsers' Union. ~No, I won't admit that we are beaten, but I mean to say that we have matters in hand so well that we can afford now to let the strike take care of itself"
 The proposed referendum vote, which certain labor leaders wish submitted to the teamsters, as to whether the strike shall be called off conditionally, was not brought up.
 President Bernard Mulligan of the Railway Express Drivers Union said of the referendum:
 Tt will never come up. Even if 1t should the teamsters on strike will vote to a man for the continuation of the strike until 1t can be called off on honorable terms.
