House Where Holt Stayed
in Washington Is Located
i From Prisoners Plans

The house where DR.. Frank Holt
stayed during the few hours he was
in Washington Friday was located this
morning by Maj. Pullman, superintend-
emit of police, who was aided in his
search by crude plan and map made
for. him by Holt himself in the Mineola,
L. l., jail. The house Is that Of Guy W.
McCord, at 1O7 D street northeast, and
the photographs of Holt were recog-
nzed by Triessa Beatrice Guyer, a
young colored girl who WORKS as a
maid in the house. She said Holt had
asked for towels, as he wanted to
take q bath, and she had given them
to him and remembered him distinctly
Searching the room in which Holt
stayed, detectives found a bottle which
had contained sulphuric acid. IT was
this element which had figured largely
in the bomb which wrecked the Sen
ate reception room.
Police searched the city all day yes
terday and for an hour or two this
morning before Maj. Pullman got "on
the Sob" and located the rooming
house Holt had said he stayed for a
few hours somewhere near the Union
station. When Maj. Pullman saw Holt
in the Mineola Jail he declared that
he could see a large building from the
windows of his room. and also a pile
Of rubbish in q yard. He drew plan
of the room. giving the location of the
furniture, etc. Maj. Pullman figured
that the only large building in the
vicinity of the Union station would be
the Southern railway ONCE at lib d
street northeast.
Accompanied by detectives he went to
the roof of the Southern railway build
ing and made a careful survey OF the
surrounding houses. He picked out
possibility, and it proved to be the
right one.
No one in the house at the time could
remember having seen Holt, until the
maid. Triessa, recalled Holt and his
request for towels. Then. on going to
the middle room Of the second floor.
Maj. Pullman found that Hollis plan
of the furniture, windows, etc, tailed
exactly with the room itself.
Interior and Exterior Photographed.
It is probable that United States At
torney Laskey will have the grand
jury take up the Capitol explosion this
week. Photographs taken of the in
terror and exterior of the rooming
house by Photographer Sandberg will
be developed this afternoon, and copies
Of them sent to Mineola, where they
will be shown Holt for Identification.
While the interior of the house tallies
in every respect with the description
given by Holt and there Is the ad-
ditional evidence of Identification fur
nished by the colored girl, Maj. Pull
man is anxious to have his case CON-
plete before 1t is turned over to the
district attorney for grand Jury tnvesti-
cation.
The Identification of the photographs
by Holt, 1t is believed. will make the
case complete and assist the grand
jury in reaching conclusion without
delay. Maj. Pullman is satisfied that
the charge of shooting Mr.. Morgan
| will be disposed of before any though,
| is given to the question Of sending the
nrisoner to this Jurisdiction.

Cessation Of War in Europe
Theme Which Causes Arrests
By the White House Police

Persons engaged in the investigation
of Frank Hollis movements in this city
| regard 1t as strange that he did not
visit the White House and seek an in
terview with the President
Most persons Of that type hurry to
the White House when they reach this
city" remarked a member of the police
force. 'They seem TO think that the
President is the one man who is able
to right all wrongs and cure all Ills.
Had Holt gone there, as most such per-
| sons do, Mr.. Morgan probably would
not have been shot and the explosion
| at the Capitol would not have oc-
Cured"
Five persons who displayed alleged
insane notions regarding the European
war have visited'the White House the
past several weeks, sought interviews
| with the President and were arrested.
Frank F'rycek came here from Chi
| cago several weeks ago, went to the
White House and said he had been ap-
| pointed special priest when he was q
| boy. He had a message from the Lord,
he said, which WAS to instruct Prest-
dent Wilson what to do in regard to

No Complaint to Make,

My business in the United States and
Canada expect to go to Canada very
soon-is to cooperate with Mr. Morgan's
firm and firms in Canada in the pur-
chase of munitions of war for England.
In this connection Ewant to say that
there has been no criticism of the
manner in which Mr.. Morgan has full
filled his contracts. What criticism
there has been was chiefly in Canada,
and was to the effect that Canada had
not been favored SO much in the award
of contracts as the United States"
Mr.. Thomas said he did not care to
comment on the latter subject. His
immediate plans. he added, were not
yet ripe for publication, but embra ced
trip to Canada within the near flu
ture.
News of the attempt to assassinate J.
p. Morgan had been received aboard
the ship.

ness" Mr.. Thomas said.
