COAST GUARD TESTS
NEW ELECTRIC BOATS
The Tampa Named for Ship
Lost in War.

The Tampa. first electrically driven
Coast Guard cutter. named for the
Coast Guard convoy ship torpedoed off
the English coast in the last year Of
the war with a loss of all hands, came
In from her sea tests on Monday night
and anchored off Staten Island. Her
skipper. Capt. w. J. Wheeler, and her
chief engineer. J. I. Bryan. said they
were delighted with the new drive.
which they described as little less than
wonderful In reversing and stopping the
cutter. From full speed ahead at bet
ter than is knots to dead stop in less
than the ships length was her record.
The best that any other cutter has
done has been to stop within three
ship lengths. Engineer Bryan said:
Members of the crew pitched for
ward. so suddenly did the cutter como
tn r. step. Next to this feature that
makes the Tampa a valuable addition
to the Coast Guard fleet Is her almost
total lack Of vibration. which appealed
to me as a big improvement over steam
driven cutters.

ANTI-BEER BILL MAY
BE A LAW IN 3 WEEKS
Agreement Reached to Vote

Special Despatch to THE New YoEK HERALD.

Special Despatch to THE New YoEx HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Nov. Q.
Enactment Of legislation barring me-
dicinal beer was rendered practically
certain to-day. After months OF fill
clustering, the vets abandoned their OBJ
structive tactics and entered into a
unanimous consent agreement to vote on
the Campbell-Willis anti-beer bill on No
vember Is.
Prediction was generally made that
the bill would be passed by a vote of
three to one. 1t already has received
the approval Of the House, 80 that i'm
mediately after Senate action 1t will 20
to the White House. Dry leaders ex-
pressed confidence that President Har-
ding would sign 1t promptly. Unless
some entirely unexpected obstacle in
tervenes. the bill will become a law
within three weeks.
Nevertheless the medicinal beer has
one good chance of recognition as 4
product within the law. Wet forces
are planning to begin vigorous legal
battle at once to retain the right to
brew beer for medicinal purposes.
