AUTOPSY BEGUN
IN WOMAN'S DEATH
George Washington Physical
Director Dies After a q,
Weeks Illness.

Physicians attached to the staff of
the George Washington University HOS
pital today began an autopsy to deter
mine the cause of the death of Mrs.
Virginia Hopkins Russell. IS years old
assistant professor of physical education
at the university, who died in the hos
pital last night after a weeks illness
from a malay which four doctors were
unable to definitely diagnose.
DR.. John Paul Earnest, jr.; Mrs
Russelrs physician. declined to discuss
the case
Mrs. Russell first complained of feel
ing i'll when visiting friends last Friday
evening. She declared that she felt
pain in her right side. On Sunday
night she was removed to George Wash
ington University Hospital where at
first it was thought that she had
appendicitis. Further examination re-
Vealed that this was not the case.
Up until Thursday high hope was
felt for her recovery, but with the APP
pearance OF uremic poisoning, hope
dwindled. and she died exactly one
week after first complaining Of her in
disposition.
Family at Bedside.
With Mrs. Russell at the time of hel
death were her mother, three brothers
from New Haven, Conn, and her nus
band, Hilton A. Russell. Her father
Howard Hopkins, also of New Haven
did not reach her bedside in time. Hell
husbands address Is given as 1915 G
street northwest.
For the past four years Mrs. Russell
has directed coed athletics at George
Washington, coming to the university
from Winthrop College, N. c., where she
had handled the same type of work.
Announcement of her assistant pro-
fessorship, it is understood, was to have
been made at graduation time and
would have marked the first time in
the history of the school that the de-
gree of assistant professor had been
conferred upon q physical education di-
rector. Mrs. Russell was very ambitious
for the department over which she pre-
sided and had worked INCREASINGLY to
raise the standards of athletics and
general physical training for the girl
students, succeeding in developing bas-
ket ball. tennis and other sports to a
high collegiate standard. Her tennis
team had been defeated only once in
the past five years.
Continued Work After Marriage.
Recently Mrs. Russell, who was for
merly Virginia Hopkins, married hel
boyhood sweetheart, Hilton A. Russell
but she continued her work at the uni
versity, according to a pre-arrangeo
agreement. Mrs. SRussells address al
the time of her death was 1920 F
street northwest.
1t is thought Mrs. Russell's resistance
was lowered in her fight against the
unknown malady by q recent operation
on her knee-cap neceSsitated by the
condition of the cartilage, which had
been torn repeatedly in athletic COM
petition during her own college day:
and since assuming her duties as ply
steal training instructor. 1t was less
than three months ago that she re-
covered from the effects of this opera
ton.
Mrs. Russell was a graduate Of the
New Haven Normal School.

his report, found evidences OF drink

patron on hand. While there the ser

was informed that members OF the vice
squad were In the neighborhood, but
the tip came too late, for Charles

placed under arrest and two pitchers

and the other q similar quantity OF
gin, seized.

through the gateway. The first person
who saw her was Lieut.. Marley, and
she stopped with grating abruptness.

HESSICA DUNE left the bridge
party at Iathams as soon as the
scores had been counted and drove
~ out to the aviation field. And
now that the warm, hurried ex-
element of the afternoon and the chat
tering crowd slipped away her hopes
crowded back nervously. IF it is only
successful. If Richard can only hear"
For Richard, her husband, had finally
consented to go up with Lieut.. Markey
on his soaring and swift-dropping flight
this afternoon. 1t had taken much per-
suasion on Jessica'S part-just as 1t had
taken much persuasion to induce him
to see different specialists, to take their
different treatments, to submit to diff
ferent operations.
Strange. Richards's apathy-an al
most contentment with his world of
dim sounds, filled as it was with color
and-and memories: even when Lieut..
Marley had assured him that he had
tried that sudden dropping through
space on others, whose deafness was
similar to Richards with successful re-
suits.
Richard Dune had not always been
deaf. Jessica had asked him that when
Milly had been dead two years Rich
ard Dunes paintings were attracting
much comment, and it was then that
JeSSica had decided that he would make
desirable husband. And he had an
swered her question: "Oh. no. When
Milly lived could hear perfectly Even
when I painted, there at the edge of
the woods, could hear when she
came to the door of the cabin and
called, Hey. Rickety!' She always
called me that. I could hear her laugh
and sing as she worked around the
cabin. You remember Milly-what a
wonderful laugh she hadl"

Eyes that were neither blue nor gray

Wonderful! 1t pricked Jessica's pride
now to find in the pages of books that
Richard read sketches of Milly-bend-
ing over a campfire, ragged holes in her
sweater. To find in Richards studio
