Mrs Holmes held amid Tilman resolution turmoil
In Washington on January 15 acting and a telegram from William Joles of New York led police to detain Mrs Holmes who claimed to possess papers for the president and Secretary Taft.

Washington officials later discussed Tilman’s resolution to investigate the Mrs Morris incident. The measure was introduced and tabled 54 to 8, amid concerns it insults the president.
