Disappearance of C. 0. Mcintosh
Baffles the Police.
HAD NO DEBTS OR WORRIES
Last Seen Two Months Ago by Family
at Arlington, Va.
SEARCH OF COUNTRY FUTILE
No Trace of Former Georgetown
Merchant at Washington Home.
Suicide Theory Discredited.
Renewed efforts are being made to locate
Charles Oscar Mcintosh, who stepped
off the porch of his daughter's home in
Arlington, Va., about two months ago
Into complete oblivion. The facts surrounding
his disappearance, baffling police
authorities all over the country, have
not been made public until this time.
Mr. Mcintosh, who was formerly a
merchant of Georgetown, lived in Washington
at 719 8th street northeast. August
7 lie went to spend a month with his
daughter,- Mrs. Nora Tetlow. His wife
accompanied him, and the entire family,
consisting of two sons and two daughters,
besides Mrs. Tetlow, were staying
at the Arlington house.
On the morning of Monday, August
17, Mr. Mcintosh, according to the story
told by his daughter, arose about 6
o'clock. He seemed to be in the best
of health and spirits. He was dressed
In the old clothes he sometimes wore
I when doing work about the house or
yard. He gave several dollars to his
son-in-law, Tetlow, to purchase a damper
lur a siove rur mm, ana roia xeiiuw ne
would see him in Washington, where the
younger man was working, about 10
o'clock, as he had some business to attend
to in the cityOffered
to do Marketing.
Mr. Mcintosh gave $10 to Mrs. Tetlow
at the same time to make some purchases
with, taking it from a roll of about $5100.
Before leaving for the city tie asked if
there was any marketing the family
wanted done in Washington:
Mr. Mcintosh walked out on the front
porch with his wife about Ave minutes
past 7 o'clock. There his wife bade him
good-bye and went into the house. That
is the last time Mcintosh was seen. Mrs.
Tetlow says she called to him about two
minutes after her mother had come into
the house, but received no answer. Supposing
he had gone, she did not go to the
door.
All of the family say there was nothing
unusual about his actions before leaving
the house. He was not expected back
until about 7 o'clock in the evening, and
as he did not return then one of his
sons went to the 8th street address in
Washington and found the door of the
house locked. He went back to the stable
and found that locked also. He broke
open both doors, but found no evidence
that any one had been in either building
since his father and mother had left there
ten days before.^
Each day the family hoped Mr. Mcintosh
would come back, and so neglected
to notify the Washington police until
two weeks after his disappearance. The
officials of Alexandria county were not
notified until recently, when Mrs. Tetlow
told Commonwealth Attorney Crandal
Mackey all the circumstances of the case.
Mr. Mackey immediately started an investigation,
but so far neither the police
here nor the county authorities have been
able to find even the slightest club to the
whereabouts of Mcintosh.
All Large Cities Notified. #
The police of all of the large cities in
the country nave been notinea ana furnished
with a description, but every effort
so far to find him has been unsuccessful.
It was thought for a time that
he had fallen into the well in the yard
of the Arlington house, but this was discredited
because of the high wall surrounding
Its mouth.
At first his family feared he had committed
suicide, but could see no reason
why he should, as he was in perfect
health, had no debts or worries that tney
knew of. did not gamble, drink or smoke.
Some of them thought he had lost his
mind, but the officials did not give this
theory much credence. Another theory
is that he met with foul play, either in
the country or after, he reached Washington.
It is almost conclusively proved
that he never reached the city, as none
of the conductors or motormen on the
electric line saw him on the cars that
day. and he was not seen on the road.
The county officials think that if he was
held up by some one for the purpose
of robbery and perhaps killed in struggling
with the highwayman, there must
have been some trace left for them to
follow, but none haB been found.
The theory of a purposeful disappearance
is discredited because of the fact
that in the thirty-two years of his married
life he had never spent a single
night away from his wife. She was
prostrated at the time of his disappearance.
and is still in a precarious. state.
Members of the family say there had not
been the slightest dispute about anything
at home, and Mr. Mcintosh seemed
very happy and contented.
Described as Tall and Slender.
The descriptions given the Washington
police ana Mr. Mac-Key Dy tne aaugnter.
Mrs. Tetlow, say that her father was
fifty-two years old, about 5 feet 10
inches tall and rather slender. He
weighed about 150 pounds. His hair was
dark, slightly streaked with gray, and
was thin on top. When last seen, Mr.
Mcintosh wore a derby hat, a blue coat,
striped trousers and high black shoes.
He carried a pocketbook which bore his
initials, "C. O. Mcl." He wore a low
collar and a black tie. His eyes are described
by his daughter as blue^ He had
an average nose, she said, and a rather
large mouth.
Crandal Mackey is conducting a personal
investigation of the case, and the
county officials are still trying to fin?
some clue to the mysterious disappearance.
The police have not relaxed their
efforts, though they have little hope of
locating Mr. Mcintosh now.

POLICE CHIEF S FIND
Articles in Evidence Against
Alleged Dynamiters.
ALARM CLOCKS AND TAGS
Exhibits Said to Have Been Propj
erty of Bridge and Structural
Ironworkers.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., October 26.?
Alarm clocks, gumshoes, nitroglycerin
cans, tags from dynamite packages and
wires were produced before the jury
at the "dynamite conspiracy" trial today,
and Identified by Martin J. Hyland, chief
of police of Indianapolis, as having been
taken from the vaults of the International
Association of Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers the night that J. J. McNamara
was arrested.
Photographs of packages of dynamite
also were identified by Chief Hyland.
All these exhibits, which were introduced
by the government to sustain its contention
that the forty-five defendants now
on trial are equally guilty with the McNamara
brothers and Ortie E. McManigal
in causing explosions, were piled in heaps
on the floor before the jury.
Police Chief's Testimony.
Chief Hyland testified that on the night
of April 22, 1911, when McNamara, secretary
of the union, was arrested, President
Frank M. Ryan and others of the
defendants were present. The witness
said Ryan on the advice of his attorney
had protested against a search of the
union's vaults before a warrant was pro
cuifed.
Out of a vault in the basement of the
Ness building, the witness testified, four
packages containing sticKs of dynamite,
fuse and other articles were taken.
"I now hand you a package. State
whether it was taken out of that vault?"
said James W. Noel, special counsel for
the government.
"Yes, it was. It contains fourteen
alarm clocks," replied Chief Hyland.
The clocks were shown to the jury. They
are said by the government to be part of
those used by the dynamiters in causing
bombs to explode several hours after
they were "planted," as was done in the
blowing: up of the Los Angeles Times
building.
Finds Explosives in Barn.
Chief Hyland described how on information
given by McManigal, secretly
held under arrest in Chicago, he drove to
a farm four miles west of Indianapolis
and there in a barn found-nitroglycerin
and dynamite packed in sawdust.
"Did you notice anything peculiar about
the dynamite found in the barn?" Chief
Hyland was asked.
"Yes; I noticed that the trade mark
on each stick had been cut off."
JIcManigal in his confession said that
.T -T MnNamara heonmin^ nneasv over
the loss of life at I?s Angeles, and fearing
they would capture James B., had cut
off the trade marks with a knife.
The witness said such anxiety prevailed
in Indianapolis after the discovery of
the explosives that to preserve the exhibits
it was necessary to send them to
a powder company outside the city limits.
Suit Case in Evidence.
Among the other exhibits shown the
jury was a suit case referred to by the
government as having been especially
designed to carry a twelve-quart can of
nitroglycerin on passenger trains, and as
having been brought by Henry W. Legleitner
of Denver, a member of the
union's executive board, from Pittsburgh
to Indianapolis.
The government also charges that at
on time in the union's vaults on the
fourth floor of the office building eighty
quarts of nitroglycerin were stored.
Textile Company Official Summoned.
BOSTON, October 26.?John Golden,
president of the United Textile Workers
of America, was served with a subpoena
today to appear in Indianapolis next week
as a witness in the federal dynamite ca?e.

father and other relatives are distressed
over her continued absence, but none of
them was able last night to suggest her
possible whereabouts.
Mr. Appold told the police that when
his daughter was first missed it was
thought she had called on a young woman
friend residing on Potomac avenue
southeast, but when he learned she had
not been there he became alarmed.
The father thought his daughter probably
had gone to visit her grandmother
at Clarendon, Va? or that she had left
home to seek employment. Miss Appold
was formerly employed at a drug store
on North Capitol street, the police were
told, but she has not returned there toask
for employment.
Miss Appold is small for her age, the
police were informed, and has blue eyes
and brown hair. When she left home she
wore a brown suit and black hat.

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS
Voters Show Little Interest in
Political Campaign.
WHOOPING COUGH FATAL
Young Son of Rev. Quincy Hall
Dies of Malady?Crusade on
Sunday Gunning.
Special Torres pomieuce of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va., October 26, 1912.
With the national election but ten
days away, there Is absolute Indifference
apparent in this city among: the
voters. Probably never before in the
history of a presidential contest has
less interest been shown than there is
in the outcome of the coming contest.
Up to date there have been no political
rallies, and it seems a hard matter to
get people even to talk politics.
Efforts are to be made by the Wilson,
Marshall and Carlin Club, however, to
get out a large vote on election day,
and if possible there will be a rally
shortly before the election for the purpose
of stirring up enthusiasm.
So far as this city is concerned, the
contest will prove a one-sided aifais,
with Wilson far in the lead. Republicans
claim, though, that President
Taft will make a better showing here
this time than he did four years ago.
The third term candidate will receive
a few votes, but the republicans claim
that his percentage will be exceedingly
small.
For Congress from this district, Representative
Carlin's only opponent is
Frank T. Evans of this city, who is the
progressive candidate.
Preachers Exchange Pulpits.
Rev. G. E. Williams of Falls Church
will preach at the 11 o'clock service
tomorrow at Trinity M. E. Church, exchanging
pulpits with Rev. G. A. Luttrell,
pastor of the local church.
Revival services will be continued at
this church during the 'coming week,
and the services in their order will be
conducted by the following out-oftown
ministers: Monday, Rev. T. G.
Owen; Tuesday, Rev. H. C. Owen; Wednesday,
Rev. J. W. R. Sum wait; Thursday,
Rev. G. E. Williams; Friday, Rev.
A. S. Mobray.
The services at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow
night at the Second Presbyterian
Church will be conducted by Rev. Mr.
Seig, missionary in Kongo, Africa.
Rev. J. L. Allison, pastor of the local
church, will preach tomorrow night at
his old church, Westminster, Baltimore.
Resident clergy will preach at the
other churches.

GETS CUSTODY OF SON
Court Revokes Order Giving
Grandfather Possession
After Her Remarriage.
LOS ANGELES, October 26,-Mrs. Virginia
McDowell-Clark-Tanner today regained
possession of her son, J. Ross
Plnrlr for whose onstodv the rhild's
grandfather, J. Ross Clark, millionaire
railroad owner, had obtained a court
order six weeks ago, on learning of the
mother's remarriage. The court revoked
the order that had been previously made
>by Judge Rives, after hearing brief arguments
on Mrs. Tanner's suit.
Mrs. Tanner was the widow of Walter
Miller Clark, who lost his life when the
Titanic foundered. She married "Jack"
Tanner, a New York clubman, six weeks
ago. She had left her baby boy here,
and when the grandfather learned of the
marriage he instituted proceedings to establish
his legal guardianship over the
child's person and property.
Returns From Europe.
Meantime, Mrs. Tanner went with her
husband to Europe, but returned two
days ago and brought suit to regain the
boy.
The order restoring the child to Mrs.
Tanner is temporary, and Mrs. Tanner's
custody of the baby- is restricted. He

BOY SCOUTS SPENDDAT
AS MIC SOLIBS
Take Lessons in Signaling,
Test the "Tenderfeet,"
m a.
tngage in snam battle.
Weary from the strenuous e.vents of a
day spent in the open air in the country,
eighty-five boys, members of the
Boy Scout Troop of the Washington Y.
M. C. A., returned to the association
building soon after dark last night, then
separated to go to their homes.
The troop started from the building on
F street early yesterday morning, and,
under the leadership of Dr. George H.
Ashley, scout master of the troop,
tramped out to the old fort near the
north end of Rock Creek Park on the
Military road.
Practice in Signaling.
After arriving at the fort, the first
thing the boys did was to practice those
signals of the United States Army Signal
Corps which they already knew and receive
Instruction in various branches of
signaling from Lieut. J. G. Taylor of
the corps, who met them at the fort.
About a dozen of those in the "tenderfoot"
class, who aspired" to be "'secondclass
scouts," were required to prepare
lunch for the entire troop. They each
had to make a fire without the aid of
paper, and were allowed to use only two
matches in doing so. Then they had to
cook potatoes and pieces of steak without
cooking utensils. When the boys had
done this they were declared "secondclass
scouts."
Candidates for the "tenderfoot" class
were previously put through the required
tests, and ten boys were successful in
"passing muster."
Following the test the boys had a sham
battle, one-third of them occupying the
fort and the rest attacking, with the object
of capturing it. Little chips of wood
were used as ammunition, and a boy
struck by one of these chips was declared
to be dead by Dr. Ashley, who acted as
judge of "the battle. The attacking" force
almost completely demolished the defenders,
and were declared to be the winners.
The boys completed their "out-of-door
day" with a six-mile tramp back to the
Y. M. C. A. building.
