1911 "The authority of the members of the excise board of Lincoln to revoke a saloon license under the present rules wlthotu a criminal hearing at which the proprietor Is found guilty of a violation of the rules or the Slocumb law was denied Monday by Judge Stewart in the district court in a decision In the case of state ex rel Frank W. Hollingworth against A. H. Armstrong, V. E. Unland and Harry Porter. Hollingworth was successful In his mandamus suit brought against the members of the board to compel them to recon. sider their former action and rest'i-e bis license. ". ; Judge Stewart directed that a peremptory :. writ of mandamus issue against Mayor Armstrong, W. E. Un- them to assemble In the council room end, immediately rescind the order cancelling the license, .. Was Without' Jurisdiction. The grounds upon which the decision rests follows almost precisely the argument advanced by T. J. Doyle in Kupport of the application of the writ. He referred to the provision of the Slocumb law which compelled the boards to revoke the license when the proprietor was found guilty in a criminal prosecution of a violation of the rules. The provision was mandatory, he said, and in the absence of a iif-f erent procedure as laid down by excise board rules governed the case of Mr. Hollingworth. This view was accepted by Judge Stewart' in his ruling in the case. "There must be a specific provision for the procedure to be followed'ln the revocation of the license," Judge Stewart declared. "The law in this state is well settled in regard to the Slocumb law. In the absence of express rules by village or city boards regulating the saloon business, the law itself governs. Here there was no special provision for the revocation of a license and the natural procedure must be when the case has been passed upon by a criminal court."
