The campaign or the district attor ney's office against the social clubs of the city will shortly start. A petition for an injunction against the Cactus club, located at South El Paso and West San Antonio streets, will be filed soon, and this is only one of many that will be filed, district attorney W. V. Bridgers says. In the case of the Cactus club, the injunction will be asked on the ground that it is operating without a liquor license, he says. It is undertsood that the bowling and billiard features of the club will not be attacked. All of the Injunction proceedings will be based on the decision of the district court in the Austin Country club case, where it was ruled that all social clubs are subject to the law requiring the taking out of a liquor license to sell iquor. To Clove Other Clnba- The district attorney's office will proceed against all social clubs In the city not operating under the liquor laws, and information is now being gathered and petitions for injunctions are being prepared. At the request of district attorney Bridgers and the police department, the Century club, on Broadway, has voluntarily closed. The Century club was recently under fire In an Injunc tion suit brought by J. A. Robertson. The jury In the case failed to agree and was discharged. DELINQUENT TAXES CUT PENSION FUND OF TEXANS Austin. Tex, June 3. Many confed erate veterans on the pension rolls are protesting to the state pension depart ment because they only received J1S.25 for the present quarter, while for the previous quarter they got JS2. In or der that the cause for this decrease may be known and explained, pension commissioner J. C. Jones is sending out a circular to these old soldiers ad vising them that the decrease Is due failure to collect a sufficient amount Of taxes to provide for the appor tionment of a larger sum. Pensions are now paid through a special tax of S cents on the $109 prop erty valuation and this is calculated to yield something like J500.000. while the amount collected for the past quar ter aggregated only $218,00.
