SHAW APPEALS FOR HARMONY
COmbats Idea That New York or
Ohio Will Furnish Candidate.
Says individuality, Not Geography,
VIII Dictate Conventions Choice,
and Scouts "A WnIkover.

Des Moines, Iowa, Dec. Ex-senator
Leslie NJ Shaw Sc headed for Iowa. and
will address Des Moines bankers next
week on currency reform. Incidentally. he
will look into the political situation TO see
what encouragement might develop in be-
half Of a Shaw Presidential boom.
Anticipatory Of his visit. Secretary
Shaw wrote the Des Moines Capital a
letter. which was published this evening.
and is causing a vast amount Of COM
ment
The Capital stated a few days ago that
Ohio or New York was almost certain To
furnish the next Republican candidate.
Shaw's letter combats this theory. and
declares that individuality. and not geo
graphical location. win determine the
conventions choice
From Lincoln 10 Roosevelt" he OBJ
served, 1t was the man and not the
location which determined results. and
Cleveland was even nominated against
the wishes of an opposing delegation from
his own State"
That Secretary Shaw feels this is the
time TO end the factionaI war In Iowa is
evidenced by a warning that we are not
likely TO have a walkover in 1905" and
that this is not the time for dissensions
within the party ranks" He concludes;
The next Republican national convention
is likely to present a more interesting
contest than has been witnessed for
years.
Let US hope that before it adjourns il
will select that man who best represents
the principles Of the party and the one
who Will be most loyal 20 these principles
after the election. and whose administra-
ton will best conserve the interests of
100000 people, regardless of the State
OF his birth or State of his choice"
Mr.. Shaw's appeal for harmony is in
terpreted here as also rejecting the belief
that so long as factional war is to con-
tnue neither Cummins nor himself can
hope for further prestige in national Do
litical affairs

WILD man Is CAUGHT

for Twelve Years.
IS A SEIPwRECKED SAILOR
Only Survivor Of the Norwegian
Barque Mygrenn - Resembled IN
Animal, and Fought His Captors.
Mental Activity Restored When
Addressed In Native Tongue.

Brussels, Dec ga lone survivor OF
the wreck of the Norwegian bark My
grean, wrecked on the French coast in
Of Soignies. near the Belgian town OF
the same name.
Crazed by the terrors of the wreck, the
dreadful battle in the waves after his
ship went down. and the violence with
which he was battered on the rocks to
which he finally clambered from the sea,
the sailor has wandered for twelve years,
a veritable wild man, in thickly settled
France and Belgium.
His mysterious appearance from time
TO time in the outskirts of Soignies finally
led TO the organization of a party to
hunt him down. Those who saw him
described him as a monstrous ape-like
creature who swung himself from tree
TO tree, but always vanished when any
one was bold enough to address him.
The hunters hid in a thicket where he
had been seen and were rewarded by q
glimpse Of him after several hours wait
ing. He fed when the party tried TO
seize him, and was pursued to a nearby
village where he was cornered and over
powered.
Looked Like an Animal.
In appearance he was scarcely human.
His hair was long and matted. his body
almost naked, and his skin weatherbeaten
and SCARED until he was as black as a
negro. Around his neck was a chain. with
medal attached, on which was the word
''Mygrean."
Investigation revealed the fact that a
vessel Of that name had been lost off the
French coast and the Norwegian philan-
thropist. Baron Grynsdaal, hearing of the
case, sent funds TO have the castaway
