Toilette. a wealthy rancher and orch
ardist in the Palouse country, living

seeks Senator Samuel II. Piles's seat.
Mr.. La Toilette is a pioneer Of Whit
man county. where he settled 80 years
ago with nothing but lot of pluck
and youth, and he has since then ac-
cumulated fortune estimated at
$25O.O00 by farming and orcharding.
He has been member of the state
legislature of Washington. He is a
leader in republican politics in Whit
man county. an 'insurgent' by in
stinct and has much of the fighting
spirit of his famous cousin. He was
urged to allow the use of his name as
state senator and other offices on sew
eral occasions, but he declined on the
ground that his farm interests requir-
ed all his time.

Former Richmond Man, and
Prominent in Literary Cir
cIes, Is Read Out of Episco-
palian Priesthood.
CAREER HAS BEEN A
VERY PECULIAR ONE
Recently Attracted Attention
BY Century magazine, With
drawing His Interview With
The Kaiser.
(Palladium Specially

Boston, Mass, Jan. 3-The informa-
tion that has reached his former par
ishoners in Middleboro, Mass, that the
Rev. William Bayard Hale has been
deposed from the priesthood Of the
Episcopal church. has caused very little
surprise here and in MiddleborO DR..
Hale was rector of the church of Our
Savior in Middleboro from 1892 to
1899, coming from Richmond. Indiana.
When he first reached Boston IT was
as a student in Boston university. He
is also a graduate of Harvard univer-
sity and the Episcopal theological semi
nary in Cambridge. He was ordained
a priest of the church in 1894. Clashes
with vestrymen of the Middleboro
church were frequent it is said. and
this trouble led to his resignation.
Ability 10 Recognized.
But his ability had become recog-
nized throughout New England and the
entire east. An opportunity to leave
Middleboro came when he received an
offer to assume pastorate at Ard
more. Pa. near Philadelphia. Later
he married a beautiful Boston girl.
Miss Mabel Jolly. Not long after he
returned from the wedding journey
Mr.. Hale became seriously i'll. Mr.. Jol-
ly heard Of this and went to Philadel-
phia to be with his daughter. Then
he learned for the first time of their
unhappy married life. Even his SON
in-law's critical condition did not deter
Mr.. jolly from giving expression to his
feelings. Mr.. jolly took his daughter
away with him. while Mr.. Hale was re-
moved to a sanitarium. On his re-
covery. owing to the divorce proceed
ings, Mr.. Hale resigned the pastorate
and decided to take up literary pur-
suits. In this capacity he set the
whole world by the ears by a remark
able interview with the Emperor Of
Germany, which he wrote for the Gen.
tury magazine. and which that maga-
zine withdrew from its form on the
eve of its publication.
1t was while he was in charge of
the church at Middleboro that Rev.
Hale stirred up the Episcopalian
church in America by an article in the
Forum magazine. full of caustic criti-
cisms of church fairs and entertain
ments He became active in politics
and many Of the planks in the Demo-

Issue Appeal.
american News SerNice)

New York, Jan. 3.-The American
federation of labor has begun the new
year with an appeal to it's members
for funds to fight the steel trust. A
circular was sent out from Washing
ton asking each of it's 100000 men,
bers to subscribe 10 cents, making a
total subscription of s154,OOO. This
appeal will be followed by others and
the total fund TO be raised is expected
to reach millions. The appeal is bas-
ed on the decision of the conference,
held in Pittsburg December IS and

Gompers and the principal officers Of
the American Federation of Labor,
the Amalgamated Association of Iron
and Steel Workers, the Tin Plate
Workers Protective Association and

union.
Conspiracy Alleged.
The circular, which is signed by the
executive committee Of the Fedora
made deliberate, insidious and per-
sistent' aggressions on union labor
and with being engaged in a con
spiracy worthy of Caesar. a Napoleon
or a Bismarck, against the American
institution of unrestricted production,
fair dividends, just legislation. an i'm
partial judiciary, and free and uncor-
rupted press, an unmanipulated mar
ket and the highest estate for labor
that production can justify"
The circular also charges that the
trust is paying dividends on a half bill
lion dollars of watered stock and con-
cludes:
The trade unionists Of America
have now their choice between lying
down and letting steel trust methods
have their sway. or standing up and
arraying with men who intend to fight
to maintain unimpaired the rights,
the duties and standards of the civil
lization, that Americas founders and
preservers bequeathed to our gener-
ations and time"
