GRAND JURY INVESTIGATING.
San Antonio Sports Being Summoned
Before the Wise Men.

San Antonio, Texas, Dec. 14.-Some
little excitement was caused among
the gamblers and saloon men today
when it became known that the grand
jury was investigating gambling, and
that a large number of witnesses had
been summoned before that body to
testify on that phase of the violation
of the law. Whether Governor Camp
bells action has anything to do with
it or not could not be learned. This
is the only new development. No sa-
loon men have been called before the
grand jury as yet. The county Off
GERS, whose commissions were held
up, confessed today, but gave out no
plan of action. They still maintain
the position that the governors action
cannot prevent them from collecting
their fees.
