he Battalion
AUSTIN (AP) — Alleging deceptive advertising
aimed primarily at senior citizens, Texas yesterday be
came the ninth state to file a lawsuit against Publishers
Clearing House for its sweepstakes.
The lawsuit, filed in TVavis County, asks for damages
and an injunction against the Port «
Washington, N.Y.-based company for
creating “a web of trickery that snares
consumers and sucks money out of
them month after month.”
“Sadly, the preponderance of the con
sumers who are victimized by this type
of practice are our senior citizens,” Texas
Attorney General John Cornyn said.

“very surprised and disappointed” by the lawsuit.
The state accuses the company of creating a false
sense of urgency with “deadlines” and inflating the like

draft deposit slips and false 1099 tax forms and asking
people to return a map telling the Prize Patrol how to get
to their homes.
Cornyn called the company’s mailings "letter bombs,

AUSTIN (AP) — Early voting
started statewide yesterday as Tex
ans began taking part in what has
become an every-other-November
tradition — making law.
The 1999 Legislature left it to vot
ers to determine the fate of 17 pro
posed amendments to the Texas
Constitution.
Secretary of State Elton Bomer,
the state’s chief elections officer,
hasn't yet projected a turnout for
this year’s vote, spokesperson Jane
Dees said.
Typically, she said, about 30
percent of the total ballots are
cast early.
Counties had the option of start
ing early voting over the weekend,
but Monday was the day it was re
quired to begin across the state.
Dees said. Ballots may be cast early
through Oct. 29, she said.
Thrnout in recent constitu
tional amendment elections has
been low.
It was 7.86 percent in November
1995; 6.94 percent in a property tax
amendment vote in August 1997
and 10.6 percent in November
1997, according to the secretary of
state’s office.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) —
Pleasanton police are defending
their actions in the arrest of a black
businessman based on a tip that he
might be related to Jeremiah En-
gleton, a black man who fatally
shot three law officers.
Keith Gordon, the man arrested
Saturday, was an out-of-towner who
was unrelated to the gunman.
Engleton shot and killed two sher
iff’s deputies and a Department of
Public Safety trooper and wounded
two other officers Oct. 12.
Gordon, a general contractor
from San Antonio, was arrested
when police found an unloaded 9
mm gun in his truck.
His 15-year-old son, who was
with him, was handcuffed and
read his rights before being re
leased.
A report that Gordon had made
unflattering words about law en
forcement officials and a tip that Gor
don and his son might be Engleton’s
brothers — which later proved false
— were reasons enough for police to
swarm, Pleasanton Police Chief Kei
