IS ARRAGNED FOR
EXPORTING $4,000
WelI-knOwn Lawyer and Society
Man Accused by J. E.
O'Brien, of Philadelphia.
BOYS CHARGE THE BASIS;
ACCUSED DENIES GUILT
Decorator Threatened with
100000 Suit, 1t Is Said,
Which He Compromised.

NEW YORK, April 2.-Carl Fischer
Hansen, well known lawyer, society and
clubman, will be arraigned in the Gen.
eral Sessions Court today to plead to
an indictment alleging that he obtained
SIS, 900 by extortion from Joseph E.
.0'Brien, of the firm of O'Brien & Co,
decorators of Walnut street, Philadel-
phia. :
The lawyer. was arrested yesterday
after the Grand Jury had heard Mr..
O'Brien's and others testimony, and
was arranged before Justice Foster,
who held him in $15,00 bail. The bail
bond was furnished by Isaac V. Bro
kaw, of the Newark family of that
name, whose son-in-law Mr.. Fischer
Hansen is.
The charge on which the Indictment
is based grew out of suits with which,
it is said, Mr.. O'Brien was threatened
by Mr.. Fischer-Eiansen as counsel for
Antony Macaluso, a 19-year-old boy, of
Italian ~parentage, said to be living at
457 West Fifty-fourth street, who has
o yet been found by the district at
torney's office. ttEe
In January Mr.. O'Brien learned that
he was about to be sued by Mr..
Fischer-Hansen as counsel for Macaluso
for 500, 900 on the charge that Mr..
O'Brien had physically injured the boy
by kicking him, in the side, and had
failed to live up to a contract to adopt
and educate him.
MIR. O'Brien consulted with a friend
in this city. who saw Mr.. Fischer-Han-
sen, and the lawyer, it is said, showed
him O'Brien's letter and also other let
tiers addressed to the boy by other men.
1t is charged that the lawyer threat
ened to bring a criminal action against
O'Brien unless the 500, 900 suit was
promptly settled.
1t was finally agreed. according to
the story, that for $25,0 0 Mr.. o'Brien
was to get all his letters, the letters of
the other men and the diary kept by
the boy. The Philadelphia finally paid
$40, 900 in cash, it is said, and later on
his friend paid 5000 more to Mr..
Fischer-Hansen, leaving 500 due.
The letters were given to Mr., o'Brien.
together with the original affidavit in
which the boy made charges against
O'Brien. Mr.. O'Brien has destroyed his
own letters, but the letters said to have
been written by other men are in the
possession of the Districts Attorney.
= Mr.. Fischer-Hansen says that the in
dictment was obtained upon perjured
testimony; and that he is entirely inno-
cent.

Mr.. SHEA IMPERSONATES
MATTHIAS IN 1.-THE BELLS"
Gives Painstaking Enactment of
Familiar ROle-Mr. MantelI
Changes Plans.

Another change of program at the
Newark Theatre last night gave
Thomas &. Shea the opportunity of re-
Vealng his conception of Matthias in
The Bells" The actors impersona-
ton of the murderer haunted by the
memory of his crime was careful. in
telligent and occasionally forceful, but
lacked variety and distinction. 1t
demonstrated anew, that without
marked mobility of countenance and
eXpresslVeness of voice, no actor can
reach the heights even of m~elodrama-
TIC acting. Mr.. Shea's physical limita-
tons are severe. and, though his intel
lectual grasp of the character could not
be doubted his embodiment of it seemed
quite uninspired md mechanical. His
support was moderately good. The
bright spot in it was the comedy of
Spencer Charters and J.. r. Gilbert,
who im-personated two old cronies with
a fondnsss for their cups.
In connection with the coming of
Robert Mantell to the Newark next
week it is announced that a change has
been made. in his program. Instead of
Macbeth Mr.. Mantell will present
1.-THE Merchant of Venice on Satur-
day afternoon. playing the "Thane of
Cawdor' at the Wednesday matinee.
The change is made by William A.
Brady, Mr.. Mantelrs manager. in re-
sponse to n request from the superin-
tendent Of schools. The pupils of the
Newark schools have been engaged in
the study of THE Merchant of
Venice" and their only o%pportunits OF
seeing the stage production will be on
Saturday afternoon.

sionaries might teach them"
Father Chang told me much about
the work of the missionaries in China
and what they have to contend with,
He a y that china can be Christian
lied, and said that when the mission
aries first came there, about twenty
years ago, the services were held in \
stable. There is much opposition 10

Make 1000 Converts n Year.
The average number of converts is
almost 1000 a year. At present there
are 147 Catholic churches and chapels
I'm the diocese and about 500 other places
Of worship. In 1000 villages there are
Catholic families and 700 children ARE
being cared for in orphan asylums. He
said there are now IL native priests, IS
students and a total of 80 priests and
30 sisters actively engaged in spread
ing christianity. while there are fully
500 catechists. male and female, two
hospitals and many schools.
Father Chang wears the regulation
garb of the priests of this country. His
queue reaches to the knees. and on be-
ing asked why he wears it, he said tina
he has to wear it in order TO keep the
respect of his fellow countrymen.
/ was much impressed with the Chi
nese priest and thoroughly enjoyed my
little talk with him. He also showed
me some of the hand-painted pictures
from his town, which were very inter-
esting. With an impressive Gluten
