JANVIER, Judge.
This is the second attempt by Mrs. Estelle Rodi Soulet, widow of Theophile Soulet, to compel the City of New Orleans through its Bureau of Vital Statistics to change its registration of the death of her father, Steve Rodi, (sometimes referred to in this transcript as Steve Jr. and sometimes as Steve II) who died in New Orleans on February 19, 1953, so as to have that record show that her said father was a white man and not a Negro.
The result of the first attempt of relatrix to force this change may be ascertained by reading our decision in that matter. *110See State ex rel. Rodi v.…
