Takes RoU to Court.

Mrs. Charles Simmons of Dongan
Hills. Staten Island. applied to Justice
kelby of the Supreme Court in Rich
mond county yesterday to compel the
Richmond County Motor Corps. an aux
iliary to the Staten Island branch of the
American Red Cross. either to give her
a fair trial or to reinstate her as COM
mander Of the corps, from which position
she was ousted last November.
Mrs. Simmons sets forth that she or
ganized and financed the Motor Corps
and was Its commander from shortly
before the war until November 2S. when
she received notice from the secretary,
Mrs. Arthur Ravanaugh. that the corps
had adopted resolutions ousting her. Mrs
Simmons contends that inasmuch as the
Motor Corps Is a semi-military institu-
ton, modelled after the army, she is en-
titled to a trial similar to any army
court-martial.
The other officials of the Motor Corps
would not discuss the matter last night
although 1t was said in some quarters
that Mrs. Simmons was ousted because
she was unable to obtain from her sub
ordinates the proper measure of CO.
operation. Attorneys for both sides in
the affair were ordered by Justice Kelby

really important person was Marcelle
Teresa Smith, Ave and a half pounds
and rapidly approaching six pounds.
Moreover. to dispel completely the
theory that the Santa Teresa Is any
thing but a combined nursey and bridal
ship. there were twentY-nine brides
aboard.
Marcelle achieved her Importance by
being born. A few hours after the ship
had left st. Nazaire on June IA Mar
celle came aboard and the ship imme-
diately became distinguished among the
flock of transports scurrying like ferry
boats across the ocean to and from
France as the transport upon which a
baby was born.
Two collections were taken up aboard
the ship for the baby. One was a COL
lection of names and the other was a
purse of s251.35 contributed by the
crew. The baby got the name OF Mar
celle from her mother. formerly of La
Rochelle, France. Of Teresa from the
ship and of Smith from her father.
Trooper Frederick L. Smith of the
Fifteenth Cavalry. who is one of the
North Dakota Smiths.
The baby was christened when the
ship was four days out. and at the age
of ten days attended her first public
dinner. The dinner was given by Lieu
tenant Commander F. s. McMurphy.
commander of the floating nursery. and
nobody sent regrets. She was propped
up in a big chair, being still somewhat
unsteady on her feet. when every one
drank a toast. Then the purse was
presented to her. The money will be
put in n bank so that Marcelle will have
the start Of a fortune when she draws

lated Of girls by the men of the Fiji

married men of the Fifteenth and are

from La Rochelle were Mrs. Jesse

girl to marry a soldier at La Rochelle
and who will live hereafter at Pocatello,
