HOLLAND PLEADS GUILTY.
His Story About Army Bacon He Adj
mits to HIVE Been False.

Jay G. Holland. who is charged with
criminal libel. pleaded guilty to the in
dictment yesterday in Criminal Court No.
1. At the suggestion of his attorney. he
was remanded to Jail by Justice Clabaugh
until Tuesday next. when he will again be
called into court to be sentenced.
Holland. some time ago caused to be
published in a New York newspaper a
statement charging Senator James P. Tai
iaferro of Florida, Major Ruthers. United
States Army. and others with being con-
nected with scheme to rob the Govern
ment of 215,00O pounds OF bacon at Jack
sonyille Fla, during the war with Spain
The scheme as outlined by Holland. was
that the officer in charge of the commits
sary department at jacksonville was TO
have the bacon condemned and then 1t was
TO have been sold and the proceeds divided
among the parties to the alleged plot.
Witnin few days after the story was
published Holland was arrested and was
released on S1.50o bail pending his trial.
week or so ago District Attorney Ander-
son called the case for trial. but as it was
understood that Holland was cut of the
city, the mater was let go over. On the
day set Cor trial, however. Holland turned
up in court. but as the witnesses for the
Government, many of whom were sum
moned from a great distance, had been adj
vised not to leave their homes until fur
Their notice was served upon them, the
case was postponed until June II next. A
day or two after this Reuben NJ. Harlow,
Hollands bondsman, surrendered him 10
the United States Marshal for the District.
and he was committed 10 Jail to await
trial.
To all who were in any way familiar
with the case it was therefore a great sur
prise when yesterday. Holland appeared
in court and withdrew his plea of not
guilty and pleaded guilty to the charge
against him. When this had been done the
Assistant District Attorney, Hugh T. Tag
CART, stated to the court that the prisoner
had acted of his own volition and not under
eny promise or offer of clemency from the
District Attorney.
1t was stated yesterday that Holland had
said that he was under the influence of
liquor when he made the statement con-
