POTOMAC IS FEET
IN SPRING FLOOD
Anacostia Naval Air Station
Lawns Under Water-Sea
Walls Covered.

Flood waters in the Potomac today
raised the level to Is feet above normal
at Chain Bridge, poured a six-inch
stream across the lawns and roadways
at the Anacostia Naval Air Station and
covered the seawalls at number of
points.
Despite forecasts Of more rain to-
morrow and tomorrow night In the
upper Potomac Valley, however. river
men expressed no alarm. The high
water is now at about its peak, it was
said, and probably will begin to recede
this afternoon.
The heavily swollen condition of the
river today was attributed by the
Weather Bureau to three causes acting
in concert-freshet water from the
recent heavy rains, which accounted
for a rise of about three feet above
normal at Sycamore Island, above the
tide line; the normal high Spring tides,
and southerly winds which have been
backing the water up in the Potomac
for several days.
At Sycamore Island the river was Al
feet above the yearly normal and was
about feet above the Spring normal
This rise is due entirely to freshet water,
the Weather Bureau said. The 16-foot
rise at Chain Bridge, however, is due
to the combination of all three factors
acting in the deep gorge there, 1t was
explained.
The river in Washington reached its
maximum height at 1886 o'clock this
morning, with the crest Of the tide, and
this afternoon the river Is expected to
be within its banks throughout the Dis
trict. The night tide shortly before II
o'clock tonight may bring the level
above the lower points along the sea-
walls again, but probably not as high
as this morning, it was said.

HENDERSON WILL
LITIGATION ENDS
Agreement Is Reached for
Redistribution of Some
of Major Bequests.

A jury in District Supreme Court has
written what appears to be the final
chapter in the sensational record of
litigation growing out of determined
plans of the late Mrs. John B. Hender-
son for disposition of her estate prior
to and subsequent to her death.
The jury yesterday upheld the 1ast
will of the aged society matron few
hours after it was reported disputant
heirs had reached an agreement not to
contest the document, but to make a
redistribution of some of the major be-
quests that had been in question.
Under the agreement, it is said, Henry
and Frances Arnold of New York,
nephew and niece of Mrs. Henderson,
will remain as principal benehclarteS OF
the estate, assessed at S1,600,000, but
estimated as worth much more. Mrs.
Beatrice Wholean, who Mrs. Henderson
announced was an adopted daughter OF
her son, and John F. Kellogg OF the
were diSinherited in second will, are
to receive certain shares, despite terms
Of the will.
Shima Accepts Smaller Bequest.
Jesse S. Shima, young japanese who
served as secretary and adviser to Mrs.
Henderson during her declining years,
was named in the revised will as the
prospective recipient of $100, 900 in cash
and of proceeds of a trust fund for a
like amount. Under the settlement
said to have been made at midnight
conference Wednesday, Shima Is re-
ported to have agreed to accept a
smaller bequest.
When the suit to contest the will came
up for consideration by jury in Jus
tice Jennings Bailey'S court Yesterday
afternoon, Mrs. Wholean and Kellogg
failed to offer testimony against it, due
apparently to the agreement already
made out of court. Only two witnesses
were heard in support of the validity of
the wiIl-Theodore D. Peyser and Mrs.
Maurice Berg, who witnessed the tesla
ment.
The jury returned its verdict sustain
ing the will in about five minutes. Mrs.
Wholean was represented by Minor,
Galley & Drury, attorneys, and Kellogg
by Edmund Jones.

heriting of Mrs. Wholean and the draw

ing up of a new will was the outgrowth
of an effort by Mrs Henderson to pre-
sent to the Government as vice presi-
dental residence palatial embassy
type building on Fifteenth street, into
which she moved from the famous
Henderson castle" She had erected
the Fifteenth street building with a
view to selling or leasing it to an en-
bassy or legation.
Gift Fought by Mrs. Wholean.
Mrs. Wholean filed suit in the Dis
trict Supreme Court to prevent compile
ton of the gift and to forestall what
she contended was threatened distri-
button of other assets of the estate. She
charged that Mrs. Henderson, because
Of advanced age, was mentally and
physically incompetent to administer
the estate.
Obviously angered by the suit, Mrs.
Henderson announced to reporters who
interviewed her that Mrs Wholean was
not a blood relative, but an adopted
daughter of her SON. She summoned
Shima and her chauffeur, William Car
ter, to 'corroborate" this. Carter told
of having been present at the sons
home near Ballston, Va, when the son
and his wife returned from a brief trip
with an infant baby they called Bea-
trice. Carter said the elder Mrs. Hen
derson did not know of the alleged de-
ception until after the death of her son
and his wife
About this time Mrs Henderson drew
up new will excluding Mrs. Wholean
from her share of the estate and
naming Shima and Carter as additional
beneficiaries. Months later it was dis
closed that Shima also had been decided
title to the legation property for con-
sideration of $100. The building was
said to be worth 100000. Shima later
reliquished title to the property, ex-
planning that he had never wanted it in
the first place, but that Mrs. Henderson
had forced him to take it "for home. !"
