CANADIAN WHISKEY NEARLY ALL FAKE Is Mostly Denatured Alcohol‘ and Moonshine Chicago, Nov. 8 (# — The flood of Canadlan whiskey which epilled over the border during the first years of prohibition, has largely been dammed up and the thirsty get only “moonshine” and ‘eut” whiskey with Canadian labels, re- ports from St. Paul, Detroit, Cleve- land and Chicago nldlcate, | Prohibition authorities in the &t Paul area say that 55 per cent of the liquor sold there {s redistilled alcohol. Rum running over the| Minnesota line, they say, has been “well in hand for two and a half | Iiven the anti-prohibitionists ad mit little Canadian liquor is avail- | able. What there is comes in by | automobile, generally run at night on non-stop trips from the borde: to the Twin-Cities. The alcohol used in concocting fake lquor comes in from the east under falst consignment and many large sciz ures have been made, 16,000 Blind Pigs There are 16,000 “blind pigs” in Detrolt, estimates Frank H, Croul commissioner of police, which | would indicate a large and steadily flowing supply of alcoholic drinks. | Before prohibition there were 1,- 300 licensed saloons. Some genuine liquor escapes the blockade on the | Detroit river and on Lakes &t | Clair, Huron and Erle, but federal agents assert that most of the | Canadian labelled whiskey is spu- rious, some of it polsonous and | most of {t green and unfit for con'} sumption. Rum runners in the Detrolt area get a comparatively small return for the chances they take, the rate of pay being G0 cents m case for beer and $1 a case for whiskey. wholesalors, however, pay the runners a flat salary, generally ! $30 a week. | “Cutting” s Profitahle “Cutting” has become more and more profitable.

Just what processes are used, be- sides redist ion, is a mystery which federal sleuths and chemists are trying to solve. THey suspect the moonshine magnates have in their pay chemists as clever as any in government employ, In striking at this particular source, prohibition ficld agents | raided a Chicago drug store where the principal stock was body-rub alecohol. Much of it still was in car- tona but some had been poured into two-gallon jugs. In these floated a liver-like substance which resem bled the “mother” of vinegar. The druggist explained that this sub stance was Russian mineral oil | which had been put into the alco hol to consume its “denatures.” As | to whether he disclosed his real se. cret, prohibition agents are uncer- | tain. | Thus far the department has un- earthed fewer “cleaning plants” handling industrial alcohol in Chi cago than on farms; in out-of-the. way rural places, and in small towns.
