, two weeks ago Reading High School
played an alumni team made up OF
professionals. The Tech manage
ment refused to allow Beck to play
so long as he participated with the
independents. Now that the Tech
athlete has decided TO place school
spirit first, it would be unfair to him
to keep him out of the Tech lineup.
At that rate, he would be playing
with neither quintet.
Tech Is anxious to meet Lancaster
and would have shown the visitors
every courtesy. But when It come
to debating terms, especially con-
corning the contest in this city, Tech
wants som ething to say. The rules
of the P. 1. A. A. COVER the Central
Penn League, with the executive
committee in control. With consent
coming from that committee making
Beck and Miller eligible, providing
they cease to play at cncc, Tech Is
breaking no rules of the league, and

Should Lancaster decide not to
take a chance, patrons will see Just

LONDON. July 1s Omitted Press).-
That the Irish Home Rule Bill, which
was to be operative six months after
the war. will be shelved for q new
policy was the general opinion to-day.
following a declaration in the House OF
Lords last night by Lord Birkenhead,
formerly Sir Frederick L. Smith and
ex-Attorney General.
There are not twelve constituencies
In Ireland favoring the present Home
Rule Bnl." Lord Blrkeuhead said.
That makes II certain that the Gov
rnment win take steps to prevent Its
operation. The Government intends an
early decision and win not be a party
70 any policy saoTincing Its friends."
The House OF Lorns adopted an
amended motion demanding an express
sion on the Irish question before the
session OF Parliament ends.
Referring TO Sir Edward Carson.
Lord Birkenhead said:
Il must express surprise that those
persons who have been publicly reas-
sured, by men In q position enabling
them TO give assurance. should Judge
the present moment opportune for mem
acing declarations with regard to con-
tingencieS which have not arisen and
which they know will not arise"

TO PREVENT SALE OF DRUGS
BY PEDDLERs.
The Liberty Jobbing House was
eth doing business this morning, but
the pushcart peddler was out of bust
ness for the day on account OF the
rain. He said he would resume busi-
ness after the showers ceased. Also,
he expressed a willingness to throw
away anything that was UP for sale
contrary to the law.
DR.. Royal s. Copeland had the mat
ter called to his attention by The
Evening World, and he issued the
following statement:
80 far as l am aware, the peddler
Is not violating the law. The Liberty
Jobbing House Is entirely within its
rights. But by Thursday night Of
next week II will be an offense against
the Health Code of the City OF New
York for any one 10 peddle drugs or
proprietary medicines without a per-
NIT from the Health Department
Permits are going TO be exceedingly
scarce, too.
Il am extremely grateful that The
Evening World has called to my at
tention a very serious matter. l can
not move the official machinery fas-
ter than TO change the code on
Thursday OF next week. II IL were
legally possible should do so to-day,
for It is OF vital importance that the
peddllnE OF drugs from pushcarts by
ignorant or irresponsible persons
should be stopped as soon as possible
NEVER CONTEMPLATED SALE
OF DRUGS FROM PusHcARTs.
"Under the present state and ma
tional laws II is permissible for any
one to sell proprietary medicines as
long as they do not Exceed to the
ounce two grains Of opium or one
grain OF codeine or a quarter of a
grain OF morphine. II the quantity
is not printed on the label and the
label has affixed one * the December,
1916, Board of Health seals, no one
can be prosecuted. But, II the label
shows a greater quantity than for
hidden by law II Is a crime under
both state and national laws.
"I do not think that anyone ever
contemplated "A time when proprie-
tary medicines would be peddled from
pushcarts and the laws were never
shaped 10 give the public protection
from this source. But / will act as
soon as the law will allow me. II
shall not longer be said that per-
son can buy in the streets OF New
York a proprietary medicine that
might cause death to ignorant per-
sons"
An official in the Health Depart
ment examined several OF the arti-
cies purchased from the Orchard
street peddler and declared without
hesitation that II SUFFICIENT quantity
OF a number OF them were consumed
by a person death would be certain.

Smith for troops. He added, how
ever, that there was no present rea-
son to think that such a stap would

The trouble last night, described by
some as a riot. although IL was not
quite as bad as that. started at mid
night when strikers from Manhattan
reached the Ward Line pier at tho
foot Of Joralemon Street, Brooklyn.
They burst through the pier gates
and dragged from the docks forty
members OF the crew. But the police
charged with night sticks. gained con-

One OF them had q water pistol, which
