Autopsy Is Ordered
On Body Found Near
Charred Couch
Police Believe !. c. G.
EmpIoye Went to Sleep
While Smoking

An autopsy was ordered today on
the body Of Levi G. Morris, So, an
ehploye Of the passenger branch Of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, whose body was discovered yes
terday in a smoke-blackened room
of his home at 1886 Twenty-seventh
street NE.
Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald,
in ordering the autopsy, said he
sought to determine the cause Of the
mans death. 1t was believed that
Mr.. Morris had been suffocated
when sofa in the room caught fire.
The body was discovered about
Sis pm. yesterday by Alton E..
Morris, 483l New Hampshire ave-
nue. NV, a cousin. and Edward H.
Cox, 4915 Western avenue NV, who
was Mr.. Morris division chief. They
had become worried when Mr.. Morris
failed to report for work yesterday.
There was no response when they
rang the doorbell and they forced
a window. Mr.. Morris body was
sprawled on the floor, just few
feet from the telephone. On one
side of the room was charred
couch and in the kitchen sink they
found q burned pillow from the
couch.
Police were summoned and sur
missed that Mr.. Morris had been
lying on the couch Sunday night,
smoking. They believe he, fell
asleep, and his cigar set the couch
aflre.
The smoldering fire apparently
awakened him, and he staggered
through the smoke-fllled room to
the kitchen, carrying one of the
burning pillows. Then, they
thought, Mr.. Morris returned to the
front room to telephone for help.
Apparently he collapsed just as
he neared the telephone.
Mr.. Morris was native of Ithaca,
N. Y, and a World War veteran.
His wife died about year ago. His
parents and brother, Benn Morris
of Buffalo, N. Y, survive.

To Be Referee

Speedy, tricky, classy fighting is
on the program for mat fans at LIE.
gion fields exhibition building Tues
day night when Mike Miller, maestro
of the maulers, presents another
three-bout stellar card.
In the opener the fans will have
Dick Lever, the Tennessee Terror,
meeting Johnny Marrs, former world
champ who was able to exc out a
win over the disliked Chief Little
Beaver here last week.
The second featured bout of the
night will present Gladys Gillian, a
Texas wildcat, who will meet Babe
Werner, of Philadelphia, n of the
scrappiest feminine grapplers who
has been seen here.
Wilmer VS.. GrandOvitch
And the grand finale will pit the
ever-popular, handsome Ray Wilmer
against John Grandovitch as the two
heavies attempt to determine which
is the better man.
ALL in all, Mike says, the card
promises to be one of the best he
has been able to secure for the Viii.
mington fight public.
William Henry EzZell, Whining
tons wrestling constable, will be the
referee for the women's bout, Miller
has announced, and that in itself,
promises a bit of fun for the fight
fans.
William Henry refereed the first
time Gladys Gillian fought here 80.
the night when she met Mildred
Burke in the first feminine match
presented here. At that time she and
William Henry disagreed rather vio-
lently about what tactics she should
be allowed to use and William Henry
attempted to pull her away from her
opponent, he found the Texas wild.
cat vas well-named.
Indications are the feud continues.
She agreed to fight here, Miller says,
on the condition that William Henry
referee.
= IT don't like him and I don't like
his looks" she said, "but I want
him in the ring"
when she enters the wrestling
ring she is taking the place Of a
man." said William Henry, land I
shall treat her as one. If she starts
anything I'll NOW her down."
But the finale of the night refuses
to pale in significance before the
women's bout. Wilmer and Grando-
witch have both met the famed Jim
Londos. Wilmer, after a long and
furious bout, was finally injured by
the famed mailman and was pinned,
but only after a terrific. struggle.
Grandovitch, in his match with Lon
dos, fought to a draw, and by reason
thereof, claims he is a better man
and a better wrestler than Ray.
Wilmer has not fought here in
some time but he has a following
that few of the other fighters have
been able to equal. Grandovitch,
while popular, lacks some of the ap-
peal of the handsome Ray, and indi-
cations are the fans will be pulling
for the st. Louis wrestling coach
Tuesday night.
Mike said last night he has found
the secret of heating the exhibition
building comfortably and that it will
be coy and warm Tuesday night.
The doors will open at z p. m and
the fights will get underway at
Sis p. m.

Of today are much easier to play

said. After all, it is the thousands

It's a long way off. but the pic
