i Must, I Reveals Department in 1871 Not Only Conducted One but Owned Seven Cows By ISABELLE KEATING The establishment of milk: stations in Prospect Park, recently advocated by Dr. J. Francis Ward of the South Brooklyn Board of Trade, stirred the spirit of research in Louis Feipel of the Brooklyn Public Library. And out of his inquiry has 1 mMrW PLAYS LEAD ROLE vS- 4 Ruth Kemper of 1960 72d a member of the graduating class at Brooklyn College, who has been selected to play the leading role in the Mathematics Club play May 20.

creased by more than 2,000.000 persons, and though the reports do not say so, it is probable that some of that increase was due to the Dairy Cottage. Incidentally, according to the re PUT A TAXPAYER ON VOI ir-: 'A 4 ji a r. ViW dm r-'jL 1 rmsnsf: XV i a Pp emerged the forgotten fact that the park once had not only a milk station but also a herd of cows which supplied the milk. But that was all 61 years ago. It was in 1871, according to the Park Commission reports exhumed by Mr.

Feipel. that the Dairy Cottage was built on one of the highest eminences In the park. It was constructed with the Idea of dispensing fresh milk to the public and the purpose of Its construction was widely publicized in horse cars, daily papers, and among the park visitors. Had Seven Cows A herd of seven cows was purchased and pastured on the meadows to provide the milk supply. The placards which advised the public of the arrangement appealed especially to "invalids, weakly per sons, convalescents, and mothers of young children." Describing the attributes of the cottage and its surroundings, the placards said, "There is a large space of turf near by on which children are allowed to play, and, as no carriage road passes near, and the bridle way in the rear of the cottage is fenced off.

young children are nob liable to stray into danger from horses and carriages. "All doctors agree," the notice continued, "that lor convalescents and delicate persons, moderate exercise and intervals of agreeable rest in the open air is usually the best medicine. "Hoops, balls and mallets are available at the purveyor's counter In the cottage. "Families or parties bringing their own tea can obtain pots and boiling water at the cottage." Prices High The milk and dairy products dispensed at the cottage were not cheap, even compared with modern standards. Milk sold for 14 cents a quart, or, warm from the cow, at 10 cents a glass.

Butter sold at 50 cents a pound and cheese cost 40 cents a pound. But the dairy products were popular none the less. During the Summer of '71 11,000 quarts of milk were disposed of either by the glass or in larger quantities to picnic parties. During that year also, the number of visitors to the park in- ports, in the Winter of that same dear, dead year, 53,487 sleighs passed! through the park. Well, the dairy has gone, alons with the sleighs, and neither park department officials nor Dr.

Ward were aware that it ever existed until The Eagle brought it to their attention last week. The Dairy Cottage, of course, still stands on top of the hill and refreshments are purchasable there, but not even such an ardent antiquarian as Maurice McLoughlin of The Eagle staff recalled that it had ever been a real dairy. In a recenti reminiscent article about the cottage, Mr. McLoughlin wrote: "Some folks used to call this buildmg the 'Farm for some unknown reason, though the name would fit It nearly as well as for, to tell ths truth, while milk was sold there, you couldn's see hide nor hair of a cow anywhere near the place." Whatever happened to the dairy cows and the project of selling their milk is shrouded in mystery. Ths commissioners' reports do not mention them until 1879, when an item of $96 "from the sale of cattle" is listed among the park's Therefore, sheep and poultry wera the only animals kept at the part until the zoo was estaclished.

Feels Plan Wise Dr. Ward, who is anxious to havs milk stations established in ths park now for poor children from the various sections of Brooklyn, learned this week of the earlier experimend along that line with delight. "Although Park Commissioner Browne considers my idea unfeasi ble," he said, "I still feel that it would be wise. The fact that the old dairy sold so much milk at such comparatively high price would indicate that the plan is not with out merit.

By HENRY SlYDAM Washington, April 30 As no de-' velopment in the Far East is without concern for the United States, there is growing interest in the tension between Japan and Russia, focused at the moment on the frontier between Manchuria and Russia.

In this situation of extreme plexities. where conflict of nationalistic aspirations is fundamental, Judgment is reserved as to the m- tentions of Tokio and Moscow. The American belief is that neither na-' tion wants war. It is recognized. however, that mutual suspicions and accusations, backed up with movements of troops, are not reassuring.

No less than the United States, the governments of Europe are watching development of the Manchurian situation with misgiving, realizin? that war between Japan and Russia might be fraught with dire consequences to the general peace. Furthest North Since 1904 Japanese penetration of Manchuria, under the pretext of estab-lishing an independent State, has now reached the point where Japanese troops are furthest north since the Russo-Japanese War of 1904. The exact number of Japanese troops in Manchuria is but the concentration is belirved to be between 35.000 and 50,000. The reason assigned for this concentra- tion is the protection of the Man-. choukuo Government against Chinese enemies working from within.

Whatever the excuse, the fact is that Japan has penetrated into the Russian sphere of influence, that Japanese troops are in Harbin, in virtual control of the Chinese Eastern Railway. The Russians are re- ported to have removed most of the locomotives and rolling stock, and operation of the road has been al- most suspended. Soviet headquar-' tcrs in Harbin has been raided and ''Japanese troop trains have been bombed. There have been a number of provocative incidents on either Hide. 70,000 Soviet Troops on Front The Russian answer to japans activities has been to move about 10.000 troops up to the Manchurian frontier during the past two or three months.

Large stores of wheat and flour, as well as other supplies, have been sent to Vladivostok. Demands are heard at Moscow for the industrialization and economic exploitation of Eastern Siberia for the improvement of facilities on the Trans-Siberian Railroad and for the settlement of former soldiers on collective farms near the borders of Manchuria, Both sides disclaim all desire of war. The Moscow Government, preoccupied with grandiloquent economic planning, is not prepared to launch hostilities some 6.000 miles from the capital, with communications not much better than in 1904-5. Inflexible Program Japan, on the other hand, points to the objective of Manchurian Independence, which cannot be achieved, it is claimed, unless the prerogatives of the new State are extended to all parts of Manchuria. Including the Russian sphere of Influence.

Japan's intention to pursue this penetration is inflexible. Thus far Russia has been content with formal protest and the massing of troops. If this situation on the frontier remains in status quo, war ts not anticipated. The moment, fenn-pvpr. that Japan moves still larger concentrations into Manchuria near the Russian sphere, or the moment that some serious overt art on tne iron', lri, un" chance of hostilities will be much Increased.

Japan has bren engaged in somewhat acrimonious dispute with Russia on the question of the salmon fisheries on the Siberian Coast, leases of which to Japanese companies have not been renewed. As fish, next to rice, is one of the principal staples of Japanese food, this issue is of considerabie importance. Ever-Present Menace In addition to this diplomatic question, there is the ever-present menace of some move on the p.irt nf Chinese insurgents, working with White Russians in Manchuria, who miaht provoke some incident to explode this inflammable pressure of In'crrsts. Those who distrust th intentions of and arr inclined to ac-rcpt the Russian view that further Japanese aczression is probable, arsue that war in this quarter of the world is inevitable, and that, from the Japanese viewpoint, the issue might better be decided now. while Russia is weak in the Far East, than later, when the Russian maritime provinces have been developed and communications improved.

Suspicions of France The Russians are reported to nurture considerable suspicion of France, whose government been accused, despite repeated official denials, of having some secret understanding with Japan. The Fus-Fians some time aso sponsored a noragzrrssion aireemnt. which Poland and Rumania were to join, but nesotiations never reached the point of consummation. As to what would happen in the event of war between Japan and Russia, speculation can run wild. The immediate concern of Great Britain and the United States would be to localize the conflict.

Should Poland, with or without the Inspiration or assistance of France, attack the Russian bear, this might well prove the signal for the German Reich to attack Poland for the purpose of retraining the Polish Corridor. Whether, at this point. France mieht enter the picture is one of those speculations on which the fancies of diplomatists can exercise pro and con.

meanwhile, in some American quarters for recognition of Soviet Russia. The pro-Russian faction regards recognition as a moral gesture calculated to exert a restraining influence oa Japan a proposition which the administration does not recognize. The attitude of the administration, from the start, has been that In Manchuria, one of the world's pioneer regions, the interests of three great races the Russians, the Japanese and the Chinese came into conflict, and that it would be foolish for the United States to become involved. An Extreme View The opponents of Russia, realizing the obvious weakness of Russia as compared with Japan, would regard war beNvcen the two nations as a pretext for other participants joining in a general anti-Soviet crusade. This view, however, is an extreme one.

The diplomatic and political factors are too complex for such a simple program to find acceptance, even if the menace of another general war were not patent for all to see. 400 Will Attend Insurance Banquet Harry G.
