    Libbie M. Smith v. State of Illinois.
    
      Opinion filed December 19, 1908.
    
    License Pee — Di Gosola v. State - ante followed. This claim is similar to that of Di Gosola v. State, supra, and the law governing the allowance of that claim applies to this claim.
    Homer J. Galpón, for Claimant.
    W. H. Stead, Attorney General, for State.
   Libbie M. Smith, claimant herein, seeks to recover two hundred ($200.00) dollars on account of the payment by her of a license fee in that amount to Honorable James A. Rose, Secretary of State, on or about May 10, 1902, for a license to operate a “private employment agency for hire” in the city of Chicago, under an Act of the General Assembly relative thereto, passed April 11, 1899, and going into effect July 1, 1899, held unconstitutional by the Supreme Court April 24, 1903, in the case of Mathews v. The People, 202 Ill., 389.

This case is on the same state of facts and involves the same questions as in the case of Michaele Di Cosola v. The State, decided by this Court at the present term, and in which an award was made in favor of the claimant. "What was said and held in that case controls in this; and likewise, as in that case, the Honorable Attorney General consents to an award herein in the sum of two hundred ($200.00) dollars.

■We, therefore, accordingly award claimant the sum of two hundred ($200.00) dollars.
