MARRIAGES

San Francisco, Mar. 2.-The state supreme court to-day in effect afirmed the judgment of the ap- pellate court at Los Angeles which held that a Filipino is not mem- ber of the Mongolian race, by refus ing to review the lower court's de сівіод.

The appellate court's ruling was made Jan. 2 when it granted a position for a writ of mandamus compelling the Los Angeles county lark to issue a marriage license to a Filipino and a white person.

The clerk had refused to issue i license to Salvador Roldan, a Fili pino who sought to marry Marjorie! Rogers.

The court held that the Califor nia legislation which the county clerk hold to apply actually refer- red to persone of the Chinese Tace and of countries adjoining China having the same racial characteris tics.
