A nfw policy on the part of the city adrpitiistratjon which the city po lice officials will confine their activ ities to the territory embraced in the city limits except on rare occasions was announced- today by Mayor E. Tucker. L- I city executive: in a statement is KUe'd. to the press said his decision has been arrived at after long considera tion and the result of considerable criticism and ridicule of the police ac tivities in the rural districts.

He said that only on special Occasions will tlu- poliee be permitted to go outside the city except to aceoriipany the county sheriff or some federal officer. No Penalty Announced. There said to be a political aspect to the mayor's recent decision also. Previous to the primary election' there was some talk that things were not ex actly in harmony between the city and county officials, i Friends of Rh'-iff Arbuckle contended that the. city police were making arrests-in the county to "show up" the sheriff and they leeply resented, this action and are said to have complained to the mayor.

With the primary, out of the way this political talk has settled down somewhat, however. Police officials denied there was any thing; political and insisted they: were merely answering complaints, i The mayor did not state what action will be taken in case the city officers repeat tlw-ir work of arresting parties the country district, although he intimated that some action possibly would result. However, In cases where the sheriff or his deputies or a federal officer ask assistance of a city officer or employe the latter will be ermitfed to co-operate. mayor said he is of thie; opinion that, there enough "going on" in Columbus for himself and all the officers without doing that of lie county officials. Says Police Were "Goats." While the mayor did not exactly commit himself, it is that the arrest of certain parties from the city while on the highway and in rural lo cations redently of which there have been much 'discussion! and speculation.

the direct cause of the action.1 It was intimated that a nit-mber of persons have, personally conferred, with him in regard to his authority to per mit his officers to make such arrests. The mayor stated Ithat he was not finding fault with men as he believed they acted iitij good faith and made arrests only i onj complaints, but declared that fnsofar as many of the complaints have proved to have grown out of personal grievances or malice, the police were the ones who were made the and received the criticisms, In many instances, it is said, persons fiave laughed openly at what they termed" "boners" and this the mayor deeply resents. The mayor also stated that his offi cers hereafter ill be required to 've warrants where they act on their owrn authority. 1 in speaking of several cases he stated that in inves- igating complaints and rumors re ceived, it was learned: that the person making the complaint was worse than the ones being persecuted and hereafter each and every complaint ill be deeply investigated before action is aken." The mayor stated he is strong- in favor of upholding and enforcing he law but that, he could not permrt his- officers to do the work which is ightfully the work of county officials and outside of his jurisdiction.

Keller Sells Structure at Seventh and Washington Streets for $150.

TO BE MOVED BY JULY 1 BUILDING WAS" ERECTED AS RES IDENCE IN EARLY 50'S ONCE OFFICE OF OLD CEREALINE COMPANY. The old building at the corner of Seventh and Washington streets, which was condemned, some time ago as a fire hazard, has been, sold By C. M. Keller to Albert Lazzell, who will raze the structure and use the umber for the construction of a resi dence property. The purchase price was $150.

I Work of tearing down the structure will be started about the middle of next week and the building will be removed before July 1. Several months ago as a result of action by the state fire marshal in which the building was condemned and ordered razed, Mr. Keller appealed to the circuit court and the case was then compromised by an agreement on the part of Mr. Keller to remove the structure before July 1. Whether Mr.

Keller will erect a new building on the lot has not been deter mined, he said this morning. The old structure, which is to be removed by Mr. Lazzell. is one of the landmarks of the city. George Pence, who in his boyhood days-lived across the street from the house, said this- morning when asked concerning it hat it was built in the early 50's and by Joshua Sims, he thinks.

Cereal Served Free. The house was used for many years as a residence. Afterward it was used as the office for the old Cerealine company, and an addition, the north-! ern i part, was at that time. The Cerealine Company, which Is' said to have been the first company in world to manufacture corn-flake, cer eal, used this building as an office while its product was manufactured in the buildings now used by the rhomas elevator and the" Cummins Bngine Works and later in a building on the site of the present city hall. In one of the north rooms of the building the Cerealine company advertised its new breakfast food by serving it free to persons who vistted the The room was rigged up some thing like a little restaurant and here the cereal was dispensed for the purpose of inducing people to use it as a regular breakfast fare.
