Ml BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1936 Float in Queens Tercentenary Parade Plays Tercentenary Role I. Produce To Form Feast At St. George Mp HsWiitiawmwi Here is the H. C. Bohack float, which is to be in the Queens Tercentenary celebration parade on Saturday.

One of the interesting features of the float is that it depicts the sartorial changes in women's costumes since the days of the first white settlement on Long Island. R. I. Governor Due to Speak Here Saturday Green Will Motor From Orient Point for Tercentenary Address Governors dashing between Bor-opgh Hall end Riverhead are getting to be a habit with Long Island. There are no records to show just how many Governors have done this iH the past, but Governor Lehman ca Tuesday established something ol a record by going from Borough Itell to Riverhead to Orient in 5M hours with four stops en route.

Now Gov. Theodore F. Green of Rhode Island is going to try it from Orient to Riverhead to Borough Hall next Saturday as his part of the Tercentenary co-operation by his State. To Speak at St. George As one of the honor guests and peaker at the Long Island Tercentenary banquet at the Hotel St.

George. Saturday evening, Governor Green has accepted the invitation of Henry R. Swartley president of the Long Island Chamber of Commerce and vice chairman of the Long Island Tercentenary Committee, to travel to Brooklyn by way of Long Island from Orient Point. Governor Green will reach Orient Point by ferry from New London Saturday noon, where he will be met by President Swartley S. Wentworth Horton, supervisor of the Town of Eouthold, Albert Tameling, chairman of the Suffolk County Tercentenary Committee; George W.

Hil-dreth, chairman of the reception committee; Mayor Ansel Young ot Greenport, Supervisors E. C. Tut-htll of Shelter Island and Milton L. Burns of Riverhead, and other town and county officials along the North Fork. Immediately following his arrival cn Long Island, Governor Green will be entertained at luncheon at the Townsend Manor Inn, Greenport, and after a brief stop at the Suffolk County Historical Society building in Riverhead will be conducted to Brooklyn by Police escort.

Rhode Island Celebrating -Rhode Island also is celebrating it tercentenary and Governor Green at the Long Island Tercentenary banquet will extend the felicitations of his State and the Province Plantations, which were first settled in 1636 by Roger Williams. Long Island is a very close neighbor to "Little Rhody" through the proximity of Fisher's Island, a part of the Town of Southold, to the "Plantation" State. Governor Green in touring Long 'Yes, We Have 2 Coney Women Carol Gowanus Held Home of First L. I. Settlers Historian Howard Dis counts Popular Theory of Vikings' Landing Readers of The Eagle who have heard much about the Tercentenary and the 300th anniversary of the first white settlement on Long Island have been divided into two factions as to: Where the first settlement was established and by whom? There is considerable historical guesswork to the effect that Eric The Red or some of his Vikings spent some time on and near what Is now Rhode Island and the immediate territory of the Long Island shore.

Sir Wilfred Grenfel In his "Romance of Labrador" plays around with the idea as do many others who have given study to the peregrinations of the Norsemen of 1000 A. D. But the actual question of the when and where ot the 1636 settlement can best be answered by quoting Henry W. B. Howard, who compiled the History of Brooklyn for The Eagle In 1893 and reports as follows: "The romantic element In this tradition, the element which has Insured its vitality, through repeated refutations connects with the birth of the first white female child bom of European parents within the limits of New Netherlands "This was Sarah de Rapelje, from whom are descended many of the principal families of Dutch origin in Kings County.

She was the daughter of Joris Jansen de Rapelje, a French Huguenot who came to this country In 1623. Sarah was born in 1625, and as she and her father both lived at the Wallabout in after years, it was assumed that the wallabout was her birthplace, and consequently that lt was settled during or before the year of her birth, 1625. "The more scholarly writers of the later histories have shown conclusively that Rapelje went at once to Fort Orange (Albany) In 1623; lived there three years, and then spent several years in New Amsterdam, before he came to live on the farm at Wallabout Bay, which he had purchased from the Indians In 1637. So Wallabout Bay was not settled in 1625, and it was not the first part of the present Brooklyn to be settled. "It is not quite certain which of the several villages out of which Brooklyn has grown was the first established.

The first recorded grant of land to an individual was in Flatlands In 1636 Jacob Van Corlaer secured by purchase from the Indians an extensive tract here, described in the deed as "Casta-teeuw, on Sewan-hackey, or Long Island, between the bay of the North river and the East "But it was a bona fide settler In another place who built the first house ever erected in Brooklyn; and it Is here that we must locate the first step in the settlement of Brooklyn. This was at Gowanus, so called probably, in the opinion of William Wallace Tooker of 8ag Harbor, L. who was a careful student of the Indian names, from its having been the place where the Indian, Gauwane, planted his corn and so Gauwane's plantation. "This property in 1636 was pur- John Stephen Johnson, 72, of 538 80th a direct descendant of Anthony Jansen Van Salee, who came to Brooklyn with Lady Deborah Moody In 1645, volunteered his services to the Brooklyn Day Committee for the Tercentenary historical pageant at Coney Island tomorrow night and Saturday. Mr.

Johnson's ancestor sold the 100 acres he was granted and this transaction was the first deed for property ever written in Brooklyn. By virtue of his distinguished ancestry Mr. Johnson was appointed grand marshal of the procession by Miss Mary E. Dillon, chairman of the pageant committee. S.

There will be 50 gallons of ice cream, 65 pounds of petit fours, 40 gallons for demi-tasses, 3,000 lumps of sugar, 300 rolls and 75 pounds of butter to round out the banquet.

I DAY, June 5, 1936 85, Fresh Crabflake Cocktail Iced Tomato Juice Whalen to Be Guest Germany Faes 50 Million Suit in Black Tom Blast France, Britain Again to Stall Over Ethiopia Fear of Reich Inspires Move to Postpone Crackdown on Italy Paris, June 4 Great Britain and France agreed today to support postponement of sessions of the League of Nations Council and Assembly until the end of June, diplomatic sources reported. The delay would allow representatives of the two nations to attempt to formulate proposals for settlement of Italy's annexation of Ethiopia, these sources asserted.

Diplomatic circles predicted existing sanctions against the Fascist nation would be lifted. Some quarters suggested both France and Great Britain would abstain from voting when, and if, sanctions were lifted. They would explain their action, it was reported, by saying they intend to discuss with Premier Mussolini the possibility of Italian participation in a three-Power alliance against the "German menace." If no solution could be found to Induce Italy to Join the move, it was added, France and Great Britain would then consider what penaltites should be imposed for the Black Shirt Invasion of Emperor Haile Selassie's kingdom. France's attitude, unofficial sources asserted, was inspired by reports that Ifussolini has been won over to the tdea of early restoration of the Hapsburgs in Austria which France's allies in the Little Entente would not accept.

Derision Clearing Reich in Munitions Explosion Voided bv Commission Eagle Bureau, National Press Building. Washington, June 4 A $50,000,000 claim against Germany for sabotage in the war-time Black Tom and 1 1 a munitions disasters loomed as a possibility today after a German-American mixed claims commission last night reversed a 1932 decision absolving the Reich of responsibility in the matter. The decision, calling for the submitting: of new briefs and arguments as the possible first step in an Attempt to fix blame for the disasters, which destroyed millions of dollars' worth of war material, was a unanimous one. It followed more than two weeks of argument before Chandler P. Anderson, American Commissioner; Dr.

Victor L. P. H. Huecking, German Commissioner, and Associate Justice Owen J. Roberts of the Supreme Court, who acted as umpire.

Allies' Munition Blown Up The Black Tom Terminal, property of the Lehigh Valley Railroad and stocked with more than 250 carloads of munitions designed for Allied nations, was blown up on the night of July 29, 1916. Its counterpart, the Kingsland munitions assembly plant, was dynamited on Jan. 11, 1917, while work was being completed on an order for the Russian Government. It is the American claim that German spies were responsible for the wrecks. At The Hague, in 1930, a claims tribunal found that America had failed to prove German responsibility in the matter.

In 1932 America was denied the right to reopen the case on the basis of newly discovered evidence, and again in 1933 the claim was thrown out of court. Yesterday's decision reverses the 1932 decision of the claims tribunal.

"On its site, or near It, there was erected some time previous to 1696 a house the old Schermerhorn mansion on 3d Ave. Just beyond 28th St." Thus Howard stands on the settlement argument. Wallabout got its name from the religious fugitives who came to America during the Dutch regime. They were known as Walloons.

The good natured Dutch probably began then the first haven of religious rtfuge when these Walloons were permitted to 'settle on the "bogt" or bay. The bay became known as Walloon Bogt hence Wallabout. The site of the Bennett house Is now covered by the Naval Supply Depot. The second house stood until comparatively recent times.
