Counsel for Sharkey called the atten-

there was no difference. aud he there
fore argued that a CAse involving the
purse FOR prize lighting had no stand

this Wow, and said hc would have ter
minated the proceedings earlier had
that point bcen called tn his judicial
attention. The court held that under
the California statute the civic board
