Indy TO- REMAIN
IN OTTAWA TODAY
ConSuIts With Officials About
Conditions Over Northern
Canadian WiIds.
BY the Associated Press.

OTTAWA, July 3I,-Like a couple of
motor tourists stopping to ask how the
roads are ahead, Col. and Mrs. Charles
A. Lindbergh tarried here today to con-
suit with Government air and radio
officials concerning conditions over the
Northern Canadian wildS which lie In
their path to the Orient.
Time for departure on the next stage
Of their journey was not announced, but
Col. Lindbergh said 1t would not be
before tomorrow. Their next flight will
take them to Moose Factory on James
Bay, the Southernmost arm of Hudson
Bay, 46l miles from here. From there
on the route lies over some Of the wild
est, most sparsely settled country on
the continent.
They landed on the waters OF the
Ottawa River at the Rockcliffe airport
here at 4:36 pm. yesterday after a
leisurely flight at los miles an hour
from North Haven, Me-, which they left
at 1905 pm, after saying good-by to
their infant son and Mrs Lindbergh'S
parents at the Summer home Of Sena-
tor Dwight w. Morrow. They covered
the $50 miles In hours and 80 minutes.
A crowd of $500 was at the airport
to welcome them, including Hanford
McNider, United States Minister to
Canada. and Mrs. McNider, at whose
home the Lindberghs will stay while in
Ottawa.
Mrs. Lindbergh proved her skill as q
radio operator during the flight from
North Haven by sending frequent bull

rival.

ESTATE
COLLECTORS ASKED
Seay, Executor and Heir Un-
der One of Wills, Urges Court
to Conserve Assets.

Harry A. Seay, former secretary Of
Senator John B. Henderson and named
as one Of the executors and residuary
legatee under the November II, 1880,
will of Mrs. Mary F. Henderson, widow
Of the Senator, today asked the District
Supreme Court to appoint collectors for
Mrs. Henderson's estate. No effort Is
being made, he says, to protect and con-
serve the income from the enormous
holdings Of real estate and personal
property, valued at 100000. It Is
necessary, he claims, for collectors to
be appointed.
Through Attorney Norman 3. Ian
dreau, Seay informs the court Of the
death of Mrs. Henderson at Bar Har-
Dor, Me, July is and asserts that her
only heirs at law and next of kin are
Henry Arnold, a nephew, and Francis
Arnold, q niece, both Of New York City
No mention is made in the petition Of
Mrs Beatrice Henderson Wholean, the
reputed granddaughter and adopted
heir of Mrs. Henderson.
The petition sets out that the assessed
value of the real estate approximates
$4,000 900. and that the stocks and secur-
tiles are estimated at like figure. It Is
pointed out that there are six wills
filed and no petition for the probate OF
any has heen presented to the court.
Seay says he is large creditor OF
the estate, as well as being named as
executor and one of the residuary
legatees under the will Of November IL.
1880. For more than 20 years, he tells
the court, he has been intimately con-
nected with the management and direc-
ton of the affairs of Mrs. Henderson.
He anticipates, he says. a long drawn
out contest over the estate.

WRITER FEARS WAR
FROM D|SARM|NG
Simonds Sees Threat in
EquaIized Armies in Pres

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WILLIAMSBURG, Mass, July ST.
War instead Of peace. said Frank H.
Simonds today, might be the result Of
disarmament in the present stage Of
world affairs.
Simonds, well known writer on po-
dressing the General Conference on
Disarmament at the Institute Of Poll
tics It was the nrst sitting Of group
sessions at the institute.
The disarmament group Is presided
over by James q. Mcdonald Of New
York. Afnaments, Simonds, said, have
nothing whatever to do with the pres
ent situation between France and Ger
many, where two great peoples are at
odds lover issues which 70 them spell
life and DEATH" Disarmament or reduc-
tie the fighting force Of the nations
might perpetuate war, he said.
Another speaker was Norman Thomas,
director Of the League for Industrial
Democracy and Socialist presidential
candidate In 1928. He also stressed the
futility and danger Of disarmament as
. sole and SUFFICIENT means Of peace.
Farley Difficulties Noted.
Opening the discussions, Chairman
Macdonald emphasized the Importance
and difficulties of the forthcoming dis
armament conference. II the confer
ence fails to secure reduction Of the
present crushing armament burden"
the worlds efforts to build up an ade-
ouate peace machinery will be re-
tarded perhaps for generation" ne
said. Nevertheless, today the prospects
for the first real disarmament confer
ence in Geneva next February are not
encouraging. Now failure seems more
likely than success. The recent elab-
grafton Of the French program discloses
how difncult her terms Of acceptance
viii be. Great Britain ana the United
States, particularly the latter. are COM
pletely unwilling to give the guarantees
demanded by the DUAL D'OrSay," Mr..

Simonds visualized postwar chaos as
