Smith was given into custody- of a U.S. Marshal who was supposed to deliver lil him to McNeil Island. The marshal, however, turned him over to the State, which tried him in State courts on a forgery charge. He was convicted and sentenced to serve from one to 14 years in Folsom prison. Smith went to Folsom, rather than to the Federal penitentiary, and was discharged on June 13, with time off for good behavior lessening his sentence.

Federal authorities arrested him as he left the prison and brought him here, planning to take him to McNeil Island.

Had Smith gone to a Federal penitentiary as he should have, the attorney argued, he would now be free. Assistant U. S.

Attorney William Licking said that he knew of no precedent for the matter, and granted that Smith's contention might be right. However, he asked for, and was granted, a 10-day continuance to look up the law further. RENTS WHITE ELEPHANT House at 1422 68th Avenue, advertised in Tribune as white elephant, is rented at once.

Donald W. Rowland, professor of history at the University of Hawaii, who spoke yesterday before the City Commons Club on "The Racial Situation in' Hawail." Dr. Rowland went to Honolulu from the University of California's department of history in 1930. The speaker said: "The population of some 368,000 is made up of native Hawaiians, Chinese, Portuguese, Porto Ricans, Filipinos, Spaniards and some 44,000 of others of white origin. Hawaiians number 22.000, pure blood, and about 15,000 mixed; of the Chinese there are some 6000 Porto Ricans, Spanish, 63,000 Filipinos, 37,000 Portuguese, 6000 Koreans and 139,000 Japanese.

"The history of the Islands shows that the mixture of races is mainly due to economic causes. When Captain James Cook, the first white man, came in 1779, the native population amounted to about 300,000. Some -sailors liked the Islands and settled there. "When it was discovered that sugar could be grown successfully, providing cheap labor could be obtained, the Chinese were brought in. The Portuguese then came to provide cheap labor and they were followed by the Japanese and Filipinos.

The presence of other nationalities which came, was also due to the demand for labor." Berkeley After Long Woman Illness Dies BERKELEY, July Katherine E.
