 On board the Prinz Eitel which up until the last minute before her time limit expired had appeared to be ready for a, dash to sea. Captain Thiertchens declared to-day that he was heartbro1zen because he had been forced to intern.
 Many foreign vessels left this port to-day as the result of the decision to intern the Prinz Eitel, which action operated to lift the American embar- go against commerce ships of allied European, countries.
 With the taking of the Eitel to the navy yard. to-day, the breech blocks of her guns were to be removed and the connecting rod of her engines de- tached. The Prinz Eitel had been laid up here since March 10 when she hmped into port following her re- markab1e commerce raidfng voyage from the Orient during which she de- stroyed the American ship William P. Frye.

 She was denied the right to vote in San Francisco on the ground that she had lost her American citizenship by marrying Gordon Mackenzie sllib- ject of Great Britain. living in Cali fornia-
 Her argument is that Congress cannot, merely because she has en- tered into marriage, take away her citizenship as long as she remains in the United States She points to the states granting full or partial 1Wom- an Suffrage as evidence that a hus- band and wife are no longer to be considered as politically one, with their identity merged into one. and tEat the husbands.

CHINESE TYPISTS
 GET NEW MACHINE

New York, April S.-Stenogra- phers may be interested in learning that there is a new sort of type writer which has just been invented by young student in the engineer ing department of a university here. The machine is different from the typewriters familiar to the average New Yorker in several respects. For instance the 'standard'' keyboard has twenty-stx letters and in most cases about a dozen keys devoted to fig ures and punctuation marks, while the new machine has 4,2O0 charac- ters in all and only three keys.
 One of the three keys is back the third is the key with which the 4,200 characters are struck. It. is possible, according to the inventor, to make more than 4,2OO characters by combinations of radicals or base characters. About o,00O char acters can be made by the machine, the inventor said last night.
 That stenographers ambitious to operate the new typewriter will find their task a little difficult at first, at least, was indicated by the fact that it required two hours to write the first letter typed by the machine. EsThis letter was written yesterday and coptained approximately 100 words, but the operator was unfa- miliar with the 4.2eO keys Stenog- rapherS or this city who do not WOrk in export or import houses dealing with China, however, are not to be called on to memorize the new key board for some time.
 The machine is said to be the first Chinese typewriter ever invented. Heuen Chi, theA student inventor, demonstrated the method by which the machine worked at his home at 419 West One Hundred and Eff teenth street. He conceived the idea that a typewriter could be made to write Chinese while he was at his home in southern China. three years ago, he said. He began a study Of the Chinese dictionary at once to is- olate the s'radicAF' or base charac- ters of the words. In most cases one character represents whole word in Chinese, thought, according to Heuen Chi, thousands of these characters are made up of simpler characters which alone represent words them selves. He continued studying the forms of the language during a year and a half he spent at London uni- versity, and began work on his type writer.
 Heuen came to this country as a government student and, on the prompting of Chinese officials who had become interested in his scheme, took up the study Of engineering at New York university and continued to work on the invention. He com p1eted the model, a short time ago, and has patented it in this country, China and Japan, for it also writes Japanese, which, he said, is quite similar to Chinese.
