Mine Workers in Indiana Re- Ceire This Check from
 Birmingham
WAS LARGEST SINGLE
 CHECK IN DAYS MAIL
Secretary Wilson Expressed Thanks. Says coaI Trust Has But Little
 Coal In Reserve and That
 Will Soon Be Exhausted.

Indianapolis. Ind. July 2s-tspecial.o-- Among the large contributions received at the headquarters of the striking min CTS today was a check for the sum of 5000 sent by the miners of the union in Alabama. This check is one of the larg- est single checks received since the strike was begun. In the letter accom- panying 1t the miners of the Alabama district gave assurances of their hearty support and said they would send other contributions whenever such were need ed.
 The names of the officers sending this large contribution were not made public. but it is understood that the general of- fioers mailed 1t. Th1 union is said to be one of the strongest in the south and has headquarters in Birmingham. Only a few days ago a threatened strike in that dis trict was settled, and it is thought the large contribution was partly due to the fact that the miners had funds on account of preparations made by them for a strike unless their demands were grant, ed.
 Office Is Bank.
 The miners headquarters in this city have been converted into a banking room, and every inch of space is required to accommodate the extra force that has been put to work to handle the contrl- buttons received since the voting of the assessments on the miners, and the ap- peal for funds vas made. Secretary Will son smiled at a report from New York that the coal trust has 100000 tons of anthracite coal in reserve within one days haul of the metropolis
 T have not been east recently and do not know where this coal can be hid- den." said MT. Wilson, but If the ops orators have got 1t hope they will show 1t pretty soon. It would be a shame to keep us waiting too long to find out where this great supply is"
 Even if that much coal is being held In reserve 1t would not postpone the time | when the market will be exhausted very long, MT. Wilson declared. | The usual amount of contributions ar- rived at headquarters today. No record was kept of the total owing to the changes being made in the arrangement of the headquarters.
 Companies at Work.
 Scranton. Pa, July 2S.-Superintendent Rose, of the Delaware and Hudson. ad- mitted today that his and other com panies of this region have been engaged in cutting and loading coal and storing 1t at the foot of the shafts in cars, ready to b. hoisted when the companies see fit to do so. The work is being done by under bosses, company hands and the re- turned strikers of whom each mine has a small quota.
 The companies have been doing this work secretly so as to avoid drawing the fire of the strikers.
 Strikers turned back the men at tho Rocket Brook colliery in Candondale this morning but they came around at noon when the pickets had dispersed and start ed the washery.
 Carpenters at the Coal Brook and Northwestern collieries in Canbondale also were turned back this morning.

Senator Warren OF Wyoming, who was
a caller at the temporary White House

desires TO bring 20 the attention of she

tier of States. adjoining the Canadian
border. He wishes Mr. Roosevelt to
come into Wyoming by one Of the great
railroads, and while his special train IS
being switched to another part Of the
State, cover the intervening country on
horse back.
This plan would give the President q
jaunt Of 1G0 miles through the pic
turesqUe Western country with which sc
was intimately acquainted some years
ago. and would Introduce a pleasant va
riety into the continuous round OF re-
ceptiOns and bauquets
Mr.. Warren is awaiting the shaping
Of the itinerary by Secretary Cortelyou
and though present indications point TO
tour extending not any further than
Kansas, II even that far, he is hopeful
that the uniqueness OF the plan VIII
commend itself TO the President and Sc
cure his eventual acceptance.
