ACTOR HANFORD NOW A POLAR SEA DICTIONARY Pormer Shakespearean Exponent Delves as Deeply Into Icebergs and Penguins as He Did Into Richard m. BY LEONE. CASS BAER. CHARLES B. HANFORD and Shakespeare, or rather, to put it In point- of importance, Shakespeare and Charles B. Hanford, have been In separably linked lor so long: that it Is next to impossible to get Mr. Hanford to talk on any subject other than the one nearest his heart, the Shakes pearean drama, and its whys and wherefores. Only one other subject will tempt him to chatter at lengrth and that one is as embracing: and opeu to discussion as Shakespeare. Mr. Hanford can be persuaded to talk about motion pictures and about the Captain S-"cott pictures in particular. He has developed into the most rabid sort of movie fan and the history of the 111 fated expedition has become ?o great a part of him that he should be able to write a wonderful book about It. From every source which he finds pro ductive he reads and digrs and delves into research of the life and achieve ments of every man who was ever as sociated with the great explorer. Kvery Scott Film Verified. Mr. Hanford is one of the sort of men who likes to "verify" thing's. So far as possible he has verified all the history of every phase In the Scott pic tures, tor instance, he was reading: a treatise on the habits of the penguin, issued, by a London research society. Personally, I considered It rather heavy literature and said I preferred looking- at the pictures. Mr. Hanford said: "That isn't the point. The penguin pictures tell wonderful story of bird habits, and are complete in detail. That in itself Is small part of the pictures. I've made n detailed study of all animal and bird life in cold regions and a personal reading research into Polar expedi tions. I actually believe I could fit one out and not go wrong in one es sential. But I do not have hankerings to go on any such wild chase. "Movies" Chosen With Eyes Opea. Mr. Hanford says that the chief rea son he entered the (notion picture field was because he looked over his usual and time-honored field, Shakespearean build; star on forehead; mane roached; long tail: weight about 850 to 900. repertoire, and realized that it was so full of aspirants that someone would have to get hurt. As a matter of record there were 11 Shapespearean companies on the road. Of these, only Robert Man- tell and the Stratford Players, who come next week to the Heillg. matte any money. Margaret Anglin. Forbes Robertson, Sothern, without Marlowe, and even John Drew, have not made Shapespeare pay this season. Next year Mr. Hanford plans to re turn to his first beloved. Shakespeare. Mr. Hanford is a Californian and this is the twenty-sixth time he has crossed the continent. He calls Portland his Mecca, and shares the delight of all the much-traveled clan who may stay any length of time in our city. HORSES AND BOYS GONE Sheriff Seeks Youths Believed to Be on Trip With Stolen Animals. ESTATE SUIT JURY SECURED Legal Battle by 100 Claimants to Get Slice of Property Begins. After 23 prospective Jurors had been excused by peremptory challenge a Jury was selected in Circuit Judge Morrow'a court to try the Winters' escheat estate, in which there are more than 100 ojaimants to property, worth approximately 180,000. These claimants, most of whom al lege they aTe heirs of Henry D. in ters, a Portland recluse, who died with, out known heirs In 1911, are divided Into six or seven groups. These claim their relationship through as many different persons who they claim was the father of the recluse. An independent claim against the estate is that of will K. Purdy, who Bays he received a deed for a part of Winters' estate from the owner before his death, but by agreement this was not to be recorded until after the erantor's death. Judse Morrow has ruled that tne claims wilt be taken up separately. "LET UP" CRY RAILWAYS TRAFFIC DIRECTOR W1XCBELL RE.

Wlnchell, traffic director of the Union Pacific System, declared yesterday he had found in his Western trip from Chicago. Confidence Is apparent every where, he said, and business conditions are likely to improve more rapidly as assurance becomes more crystallized. The people of the country have It In their power to make better times simply by demanding that there be a "let up' In political agitation In the state and National governments. In or der to give business a chance to go ahead." was the declaration made by Mr. Wlochell. "The Railroads will begin to make things move Just as rapidly as the public wants them to do it and are only, asking tne opportunity to go ahead."
