 AGAINST EXC|SEMEN.
Seeking to Compel Board to. Renew Wholesale Li-
 quOr License

The mandamus proceedings brought by the Iron City Distilling company seeking to compel the excise commission of Jeffer- son county to renew wholesale liquor license issued to the company came up yesterday before Judge c. c. Nesmith of the first division of the city court. The contention of the petitioner is that the excise commission has no authority to deny the renewal of license so far as wholesalers are concerned, their conten- ton being that the wide discretion given the excise commissioners under the pro- vision of the Smith bill applies to retail dealers only.
 The arguments were commenced yester- day in the case. but were not concluded. The hearing will be resumed this after noon at o'clock.
