The Gases Growing Out of
 the Chicago Strike
THE LEADER IS UPHELD
He Need not Make Answers Prejudi- Cial to His Case - There Was no Marked Spread of the Strike Yes- terday and no Disorder.

Chicago, May 25.-Cornelius P. Shea, president of the International Teams ters' union, was upheld today by Judge Kohlsaat, of the federal court, in his refusal to answer questions before Master in Chancery Sherman, which might end to incriminate him. Shea is now under indictment in the crim- inal court and Judge Kohlsaat declar- ed that the answers to some of the questions put to him might prejudice the hearing of his case.
 In the same decision, which excused Shea the court ruled that Bernard Null ligan. president of the Express Driv- CTS union and John Donohue member of the same union had refused to an- swer questions which could not in any way connect them with any criminal proceedings and they were therfore in contempt of court He sentenced both men to jail but allowed them to remain in nominal custody in the hands of United States Marshal Ames for five days in order that their attorneys may perfect a review on habeas corpus pro- ceedings before another federal judge. The men will be held in a hotel for five days in charge of two deputy mar shals.
 Arguments on the motion to com init the men were heard during the morning, and Judge Kohlsaat announc- ed his decision late in the afternoon. The court room was crowded with la Dor leaders and members of the teams ters union and many representatives of the employers
 At the conclusion of the hearing a large crowd gathered about Attorney Mayer. who had asked the court to commit the men for contempt. Presi- dent Shea edged his way through the crowd to the attorney and they shook hands.
 i Well, I got your co-conspirators, 9 said the lawyer, with a laugh. l "Yes. but you did not get me- an- swered Shea.
 1 The hearing before Master in Chan cery Sherman will be resumed at l o'clock tomorrow morning. Hugh Me Gee another official of the local teams ters union will be one of the first wit nesses. James B. Barry business agent of the same union, will also be called within the next few days. He was one of the men who were ordered by Judge Kohlsaat to answer certain questions and appeared before the master this morning and replied to them. He was not, therefore, cited for contempt.
 The strike did not spread to any
 great extent today and there was prac-
 tically no disorder. A number of lum-
 Der firms made few deliveries, but di6
 not attempt anything like their nor
 nal amount of business. For the firs
 time since the commencement of the
 strike a large number of coal wagons
 handled by colored teamsters passed
 through the downtown streets without
 police protection. None of them were
 molested in any way. The large State
 street stores also made deliveries, go-
 ing even into the outskirts of the city
 without guards and no trouble was ex
 perienced.
 Mayor Dunne and Chief of Polic' O'Neil did not meet today with the re
 sponse expected when they called yes terday for 1000 volunteers for addi tional policemen. Not over 100 mel responded and only three quarters O these proved acceptable. In the lum Der districts several concerns when of fered police protection refused to ac
 cept it. saying that it was not possibl
 for them to make deliveries unles
 their wagons were guarded by soldiers Chief of Police O'Neil replied that h would not force officers upon them am that they could wait for the soldier If they so desired, but that he woul' cause their yards and the territor, around them to be patrolled by his of ficers.
 A committee representing the teams ters was appointed tonight for the pur pose of meeting representatives of tn team owners. The latter association has made another demand on the team sters for arbitrationof the question O violation of contract in the refusal O the delivery of goods to boycotte' firms It is possible the teamsters ma, agree to settle the question.
