He was arrested "1 N8Ples last July and after q long fight was brought back to this city in December.

Hollander was sentenced this after- iioon to fifteen months’ imprisonment' in the federal prison mt Atlanta. The sentence was comparatively iight and so passed in view of the p_risoner's age and Plea of guilty.

When Hollander, who is 5 native of Austria. and has had ,, distinguished' business career in Germany, I}nglan»d and New York, was discovered de- frauding both the government and his customers in January, 1910, in ran away to Montreal and Quebec. He was followed by Special Avgut P_0“lin. 0! the bureau of investiga- tion of the department of justice, When finally caught at the Park Ho- tel. Nipples. ii was round tim he hiui a certificate from the Mayor of Que- \>€C Betting forth that the bearer, Jacques Borhomme, was a resident Of Quebec and 5 British subject. He fought extradition through all the Courts of Italy. but gave up the iight and was brought before the federal courts h-ere. _The first specific charge against him was based on n customs entry of an automobile for Henry Clews, the banker. Hollander, as customs brok- er. entered the machine at the .cus- toms' at a valuation of $850, but` charred Mi~_. ciews duty on $1.850.

An examination showed that Hol-

lander had been doing busiiniss in the Same Way for years, among his _clients_being J. P. Morgan, Andrew- Carnegie and other millionaires, for whom he acted as agent in the im- l10Ftation of various objects of art. Hollander was 3, member of exclusive clubs and lived among the wealthy. AI-le is 5 good musician, ii connoisseur in 8". and was a Patron of art clubs. -__A CITY BUILDING PERMITS.
