CROOKS DELAY A TREATY. Fugitives in Honduras Raise Funds to Defeat Extradition. Social to The Washington Post.

New Orleans, Feb. arriving from Honduras -say that the many American fugitives and crooks In that country have raised a large corruption fund to obtain the defeat of the extradition treaty recently signed with the United States. Honduras is the only civilized country that has no extradition treaty with the United States, and it has consequently become the 1 refuge for many fugitives. Some of them have grown quite wealthy through mineral concessions. The treaty with the United States ily, one.

Tuberculous Cattle Used for Food. The meat of cattle suffering from tuberculosis is sold as food In the District of Columbia, and, in fact, almost everywhere else throughout country, said Dr. Melvin, chief 6f the bureau of animal industry of the Agricultural Department, at yesterday's', hearing before the Moore special committee.

Dr. Melvin stated, however, that such meat was not unwholesome. Cattle suffering! from consumption, he said, but in sucb condition that inspection did -not Indicate that the flesh was affected, were permitted to be killed for sale as food. But cattle with sever ericas 'Of tuberculosis were not allowed to go on the market. Representative J.

Hampton Moore, of Philadelphia, chairman of the special committee, said he had reason to believe goat meat was being- sold as lamb In the District. Dr. Melvin said he could neither confirm or deny this, but that goat meat was not at all unwholesome. Interpretation It- we had always nftd women of Broad: wide and' sure technique as Mme! Narimova to Interpret Ibsen's women for us: the wall about tfce 'of Norwegian would raised- It la fetich of "myatlclsm" -which hag caused we to. seek for tfouWe meanings and Jridden jwmboJlsm xchere none This tact, was amply demonstrated last night-when the great Russian actress gave-nor -wondertuUperformance of Nora in the Belasco Theater.

AH "the supposed inexpltcabllUy of the oharmctflr was swept away and the woman we are permitted to awaken to, the fact that she Is a thinking free-willed numan 1 being, and not a mere plaything, wa8 revealed-in clear light of realism as opposed to the. symbolism With which "niast6 ufl we accustomed (on account ot. auto-suggestion) to Invest the character when we read the play or see It enacted by unthinking people of the It fa In stich plays as "A Doll's House" that Mme. Namlraova la able to prove, that her art is more comprehending than that of the clever technician. Here she bus a human being: to.

develop, to round out; to vitalize before an audience is merely receptive, not eager. The of Nora is as simple the -task of Its delineation is complex. We have merely the woman whose loul must be and before our very eyes. How 1 to do this is the problem of the actress, and how well Mme. 1-jazlmova solved It was shown by the rapt attention with -which the entire performance was followed.

The more hlffhly colored'scenes of the play--the rehearsal for the dance, the frolic with the children, the scenes with Krogstad--were enacted with the facility of the woman who Is familiar. with ail the artifices of her profession. But it was In the final scene with Helmer, when the veil, which has been stretched not only between husband and wife, but which has hidden the sou) of the woman even from herself, is torn aside, that Mme. Nazimova touched the deep, true note of creative art. Rarely has this big moment In the drama been enacted as it was at the' Belasco last night.

It IB not a scene which- fills the audience with an enthusiasm expressed In an outburst of applause. The silence which pervades the house is a far greater tribute to the actress than would be any clapping of hands. It is a difficult matter for any group 'of actors to appear in support of Mme. Nazimova. so surely do her perfect poise, her absolute ease of manner, and graphic delineation serve to throw 'out of focus all less impersonations in the picture.

Miss Grace Reals 'alone, as Mrs. Linden, gave a performance which was in perfect proportion to that of the star. Her scene with Krogstad in the third act was a wonderfully simple, unaffected, and convincing picture, thoroughly In keeping with the spirit of the playwright. Brandon Tynan 1 Is a much more effective Dr. Rank than a Torwald Helmer.

Here is a gifted young Mtor, who is developing tendencies towara the ro- bustious school 'of acting which is -long out of fashion. And In Ibsen! Indeed he should reform it altogether. His scene In the last act when he shows the effect of the champagne was capitally done, but later on he acted most patently, and. therefore, most distressingly. The cast was as follows: Torwald Helmer.

Nora Helmer Dr. Rank. Nils Kropstad Mrs Emmy. Brandon Tynan NazlmOva Sternrord Hasaon Grace Realn Miss Bertha Bar tie tt Lillian Slnglelon VIoletle Frances Htll "A Doll's House" will be presented at all of the remaining performances of Mme. engagement.

ONLY COURSE FOE POPE. Fakonio Backs Ireland in Interview on Fairbanks Episode. -Msrr. Dlomede Falconlo, apostolic delegate to the United Slates, yesterday expressed his regret at the FalrDanks incident, In which Pope Plus refused to give an audience In Rome, to the former Vice President, because Mr. Fairbanks had previously agreed to address the Methodists of the Italian capital.

When seen at the papal legation on Eiltmore street. Mgr. Falconio satd that Vhlle Catholics throughout the world regretted the Incident, under the clrcum stances there was no other course open to the pope. "The holy father," said Mgr, Falconio, "takes pleasure In receiving men and' women ftom all parts of the world, it they come properly accredited. Of course, a man of the International reputation ot four months, the treaty nas been held up by Honduras, and It Is believed that It hag been recalled by the Honduran government under pressure from the crooks.

He then referred to the methods of the Methodists in Rome, and said that Archbishop Ireland was right when lie said that 'the means that they adopted in proselyting Catholics was not honorable.

Font. New York, Feb. John C. Sbooner told 600 members of the American Paper and Palp Association, assembled tonight In the banquet hall of the Waldorf, that he did not believe there was a single senator or representative who would dare to put into the form of a constitutional amendment for submission to liis constituents, the provisions of the act for Federal incorporation and the tax upon corporations. An effort was being made, he said, to reply upon a new and dangerous construing- of the Constitution to encompass ends which wore extraconstltutional and which should only go before the people of the country In the shape of an amendment to the instrument of government itself.

"I cannot believe that Congress has the power to create manufacturing and trading corporations," said Senator Spooner, "except In the District of Columbia and In the Territories of the United Statcn. Nor has Congress the power under the Constitution to do what is solemnly proposed now: To adopt, the Federal incorporation act, I do not believe that the people at large realize the portent that lies In this proposition.
