B00TLECCERS TO
 BECOME EXTINCT

Chicago. Jan 1S-(U.P) )-Boot- leggers are on the way to becom- ing as extinct as the great Aux if figures and conclusions of Arthur J. Mellott. deputy commissioner of internal revenue. are correct.
 Mellott told 75 state liquor ad- ministrators to-day that the federal government has the bootlegger on the run and expects to eliminate him without descending to price competition by reducing taxes.
 "The courts, enforcement officers and the public no longer show the maudlin sympathy" said. Convictions and sen- tences are the rule now. not the exception. Still seizures made since repeal are approximately 11.000 and arrests 21.000. These figures represent a decline of 37 per cent in seizures and 81 per cent In ar- rests from 1892. They indicate that bookkeeping is rapidly decreasing.
