Fito Boza Sentenced To Three
Years In State Penitentiary

Fito Boza was arraigned in
criminal court this morning and
sentenced by Judge j. Vining
Harris to three years confinement
at hard labor in the state peni-
Tertiary at Raiford. He was
found guilty on statutory
charge by a jury last week.
Before passing sentence the
Judge told the prisoner that the
jury which found him guilty adj
dressed a communication to the
court, signed by F. F. Hoffman,
foreman, and the other members,
asking leniency.
In capital offenses, said the
judge, the court is obligated to
act merciful when it is so recon-
mended by the jury. but in cases
such as the one just concluded,
the court can use it's own dis
cretion.
The judge expressed the belief
that the jurors in arriving at the
verdict of guilty, did so con-
scientiously and were also con-
scientious in asking for clemencv,
He then stated that it was his
intention, before reading the
petition of the jury to sentence
the defendant to five years, just
half Of the maximum provided BIZ
the law. But would take i'm con-
sideTation the plea Of the jury and
make the sentence three years.
Before the defendant was ar

ctuded by saying he aud the other

ANTI-NEPOTISM
Law NOT MEANT
FOR TEACHERS
SUPREME COURT OF FLORIDA
HANDS DOWN RULING RE-
LATIvE TO ACT PASSED BY
LEGISLATURE
tny Associated preSsl

TALLAHASSEE, Aug. 5.-Su-
preme court ruled today the anti
nepotism law passed by the recent
legislature does not apply to
school teachers.
Because of state laws governing
the examination and appointment
of school teachers. the definition
of nepotjsm does not extend to
them. the court held.
A test of the law was brought
by Gertrude Nj. Robinson, Hills
borough county teacher. who it
was charged, was related by mar
rage to a member of the school
board.
The court held she is not within
the prohibitions of the act, saying
,tncpotism has been defined as a
bestowal of patronage by public
officers in appointing others to of
fices or positions by reason of
their blood or marital relationship
to appointing authority, rather
than because of merit or ability Of
appointee."
Our construction school statut-
es is that under these laws teachers
are requested to be appointed be-
cause of their demonstrated and
proved ability to teach and not by
reason of their family status or
the usual political consideration,
that may apply to the ordinary
civil office or position permitted
to be filled at the discretion of
the appointing authority"

new ATTORNEY
CENERAL'SAID
IS FROM SOUTH
MODERN REPRESENTATIVE
AT AUSTERE DEPARTMENT
OF JUSTICE IN WASHING.
TON is STELLA AKIN
By SIGRID ARNE
cry Associated PreSs)

| WASHINGTON, Aug. 5
The one-time crinolined
ladies of the south now have
a very modern representa-
tive at the austere depart
ment of justice.
Stella Akin, one of the newly
sworn in special assistants to the
attorney general, is the first
southern woman to gain admit
lance to this branch of the federal
government.
She is a young Savannah, Ca,
lawyer with curly red hair, spar
king brown eyes and a low voice
softly southern in it's accent.
No Crinolines Here
Miss Akin went to the attorney
generals office to take her oath
of office just as any other titan
haired lady might--with jade
green hat to set off her bright
colored locks, a matching green
purse and wearing smart black
and white figured crepe dress.
There she found not only At
torney-General Cummings waiting
to see this new member of the de
partment, but Postmaster General
"Jim" Farley as well.
Farley. no doubt, remembered
the way Miss Akin tramped up and
down Ohio, Michigan and Yves
Virginia during the last campaign
and the long hot days and nights
at the Chicago convention wher
Miss Akin worked around the
clock.
Started As Stenographer
Miss Akin was just II years ole
during the war when she obtain
ed a stenographer's position in 9
lawyers office. The big, brown
law books interested her so much
that in three years she was ad.
mitted to the bar. the youngest
woman to gain that honor in hel
state at that time.
Since then she has been secre.
tary for her states democratic
committee and vice-president OF

sional women's association. all the
while keeping a general law office
going full tilt.
No Time For Golf
Just a general practice" she
explains, divorces, claims. even

Her activity explains that lack
of time. The day she was sworn
in she chatted few moments and
then began looking around rather
vaguely. Her new chief. the at
/ torney general. asked her il she
was looking for anything.
Why, yes. my desk" she said
i just thought I'd go to work.
So she did, in the claims de.

Vrgnia's New First Lady Knows Governors Job :.
Pollard CourtSfip Mixed Romance With Business
ossssossseeseesessee,
CBy Associated Press)

RICHMOND, Va, August s.
Virginia has First Lady who
could act as governor too.
When Miss Violet Elisabeth Nc
Dougall and Gov. John Garland
Pollard were married July 81, in
Winnipeg, Canada, home of the
brides mother, the executive of
fices lost an Executive secretary
who had won the commentator
of the four governors under whom
she has served.
There had been suggestions from
her friends that she aspire to the
states highest office herself, but
she cast aside these overtures with
smile, choosing instead to become
the wife Of the governor from
whom she has taken dictation for
the last three and half years.
Romance Kept Secret
The romance in the executive
office did not become known I'M
til the engagement was announc-
ed. Governor Pollard at the time
was presiding over the governors
in California.
Daily, Miss McDougall had gone
about her multiple duties, person.
ally supervising all official CORE
spondence; debating much OF it;
advising and consulting with the
governor; and conducting all par
don routine except formal hear
ings and final decisions.
The executive mansion halls and
garden paths will not be new to
her. Since the death of the
governors wife she had been fire.
quently called upon to lend her
domestic knowledge to household
problems there.
As bride and groom they will
live in the century-old executive
mansion until the expiration of
Governor Pollard's administration
in January. They will have the
distinction of being the first new
.ly we'd occupants of the stately
III the aasslaory Of two.
generations.
1t was in the same mansion,
however, that Susanna, the gov
ernor's daughter, was married
early in his term to Herbert Lee
Boatwright of Washington. al
though they did not live there af-
ter marriage.
'Conotary" Is Clue
When and where the courtship
between Virginia's jovial and
scholarly governor and his eff
cient and mild hammered isecre-
tary began is question yet unan-
swered, but the secrecy has made
it all the more exciting to society
folk.
Some have recalled quotations
from the "connotary" Governor
Pollard prepared for his friends
last summer, a volume containing
definitions not found in the die
tionary."
woman sometimes spelled
double you mani" he wrote, "a
member of that sex always right
except when they stop to think. "
Gentlemen" said another pas
sage. lis one who can disagree
without being disagreeable."
"Courtship-A man pursuing a
woman until she catches him"
the chief executive wrote.
Bride Native Canadian
The 'tccnnotary" was written
during vacation at White Sui
phur Springs. and Miss MeDougall,
there disaptehing his orders back
to his office, ineidently took die
tation for the 'connotary" in off
moments.
A native Canadian, Mrs. Pollard
still has a slight British note to
her voice. She has an excellent
reputation as a bridge player, likes
to read and is inclined toward do
mestic duties.

emotion, and has made his pictures
so consistently real that they have
seemed like actual bits of life.
Stahl has a firm conviction as to
the kind Of pictures which always
will be popular successes. Accord
ing to his version, all pictures to be
successful must have one prime req
uisite; htey must be of a nature
calculated to appeal to women.
Here is a part of his philosophy
on the making of pictures, as given
to me:
Women, not men, are the main
factors in the success or failure Of
a motion picture. I refer both to
the women players on the screen
and the women in the audience.
"A woman has a far greater
chance of reaching prominence in
Hollywood, if she has any ability,
than has man of equal talent.
Women are interesting to women in
the audience, as well as to men.
Men players have hold on women,
but very little hold on men. Our
greatest male stars are laughed at
and ridiculed by men, but seldom
does a woman receive such ridicule.
If she does, the women go to the
theater anyway, to see the clothes
she is wearing"
In the case of "Only Yesterday"
Mr.. Stahl spent three months on
the story. He came to New York;
he engaged three different sets of
authors to revise for screen pur-
poses the Allen story; and he went
back to California with what he
considered the best story he ever
had to direct. 1t is, in every respect,
womans story.
From the time Mr. Stahl Joined
Universal in 1880, he had produced
for the company notably successful
pictures Of this type. First there
was "A Lady Surrenders," in which
Genevieve Tobin made her debut.
Then following Seed" came
Strictly Dishonorable," and, fin
ally, Back Street"
only Yesterday" marks the
achievement of the masterpiece of
his career, according to Stahl.

THE. INDIANAPOLIS ZINES !.
HOUSING PLAN
is GOING OVER
SAYS BECKETT
'PreiudiCed Opposition No
Bar to Path, Says City
ReaItor.

The indianapolis c ommu unity
housing project will go through as
planed by the federal government,
regardless of any local "misinformed
or prejudiced opposition" Joe Rand
Beckett, attorney and Indianapolis
real estate man, told the members
of the indianapolis Engineering So
ciety in an address in the Board of
Trade building yesterday.
Mr.. Beckett admitted that public
opinion support had not been forth
coming in Indianapolis on the
housing plans, but he insisted that
too much misunderstanding existed
regarding the basic benefits and
plans of the project"
Many other cities in this coun-
try, Cincinnati, Toledo, Cleveland
and others, have taken enthusiast
tically to the federal government
plans" Mr.. Beckett said.
Points to Unemployment
"Our portion will be $4,600,000, and
we should avail ourselves of this
money in order to get something to
show for the taxes we shall be COM
PEELED to pay eventually" he said.
THE housing plans will put men
back to work and will greatly relieve
our housing conditions.
Normally, we have about $4,000
men employed in the building in
dustries, but only about Is per cent
OF them are now employed Of those
on poor relief now, approximately SO
per cent are those engaged in the
building industries.
Approximately 10 per cent of
our people now are bearing 26 per
cent of our social costs in Indi-
annapolis. The unemployed are or
ganizing and making many I'M
reasonable demands all over the
city and country. Our community
housing plans will put at least 1000
men back to work and will stimu-
late the low-coSt building field.
NRA Is Upheld
I'VE shall have at least a ten
time turnover of every dollar in
this project, which will mean ap-
proximately $45,000,000 of new bust
ness in this city. This will mean
that our pay rolls and purchasing
power will be developed and our re-
tail trade will be materially bene-
fitted.
1.-THE NRA should have the pa
triotic Endorsement of all citizens,
and community housing projects
are but part of the national pro-
gram which should have the loyal
support of all classes of citizens"
he said
Russell T. McFall presided as
chairman. He announced that the
society would devote a future pro-
gram for "round-table" discus
sion of the project.
