More Than 99 Pct. Of Liquor Seized eld Spurious More than 99 per cent of the liquor being seized by prohibition officers throughout the country is spurlous, and a large part of it is actually poisonous, Prohibition Commissioner Haynes declared to- day on the basis of analysis made by chemists of the Internal Rev=- enue Bureau. Seven million gallons of fllicit liquor were seized during the year, he said, and 90,000 samples were analysed, representing fairly the kind of liquor now on the market and including seizures from every State. The commissioner declared his forces had kept so constantly after the bootleggers, moonshiners and concocters of synthetic compounds that they were forced to put their product on the market in a raw state, “most deleterious to the con- sumer.” He added that 160,000 stills and parts of stills were con- fiscated last year and that the breaking up of moonshining and the decrcase in the dlversion of industrial alcoliol to bootleg chan- nels had turned the fllicit vendor to the smuggler for supplies. With the Coast Guard rapidly getting the smugglers under control, he sald, the lllicit supply is growing less each day.
