 meeting to consider the cablegram from the French Tennis Federation asking that Tilden be permitted to play has been arranged for Monday. President Collom refused to make ia statement prior to the third Davis icup match with the issue of the in- ter-zone finals still in the balance
 but 1t was understood that he had decided 10 take a definite stand after a conference with international au- thorities.
 It was believed that he would seek
 suspension of judgment until after the challenge round and play Tilden, especially since the French had eX- pressed such a desire.

Loewenstein Living as
 He Fell From Airplane

Calais, France, July 21 R}-Cap' tain Aired Loewenstein was stii' alive when he plunged 4,ooO feet from his airplane over the English channel, it was concluded by the medical men who turned in thelt autopsy report today.
 At the request of relatives fur ther examination will be made ot internal organs to determine whether noison or disease caused the Belgian financier's abnormal condition at the time of the tragedy. This is based upon the supposition that he tore off the collar and tie which were found in the plane. Evidence has already been given that just before leaving his seat for the rear of the machine, he acted as if he were suf- fering.
 The present autopsy finding dis poses of suppositions that he might have met death in the plane. The implication that some other occu- pant of the ship was responsible for his passing, was thus cancelled.
 The regular autopsy completed of- ficial formalities of the case here. Formal identification was officially reported and the body placed in 2 coffin preparatory to its shipment to Brussels.

 Must Live Up to Law

Plumbers operating in this city have been notified by Inspector Olaf A. Peterson that laxity in observ- ance of details of the city code will no longer be permitted. Hereafter work will be stopped whenever per- mts have not been obtained. The practice of some members of the craft is to obtain preliminaries and call fora permit at their convent ence. Nothing but emergency work and leak repairs will be permitted without the permits from now on. Failure to report jobs completed and ready for inspection will also bring censurc hereafter and con- tinued violation of this rule will be cause for presentation of charges, ] Peterson warns.

MUST PICK DIRECTOR
 TO ELECT PRESIDENT
Selection of .AttWOOd's Successor
 Bound to Create Vacancy on (. Of (. Board

The election of a successor 10 President w. l.. Atwood of the Chamber of Commerce has present. ed peculiar problem. which proba- bly will be ironed out Tuesday after noon at the meeting to act upon Mir. Attwood's resignation.
 | In case the directors elect Steve i Robb president. it will be necessary for the Mercantile bureau 10 meet and elect a new chairman. The
 chairmanship of the Mercantile bu- 1 reau automatically carries with it the office of first vice president of the Chamber.
 | Since it is obvious that Mir. Robb ! cannot be president and vice presi- 1 dent both at the same time, a new vice president would be necessary. If another man on the board is 1 elected other than Mr. Robb. it will
 be necessary to elect director to fill the vacancy created by Mir. Att ! woods resignation.
 If the hoard should elect NJ. 0. Baker president, the traffic bureau W Uulu nave 10 erect a new chalr-
 man. since Mir. Baker as chairman
 of the traffic bureau automatically
 is second vice president.
 If on the other hand, the directors
 went outside the board entirely for
 candidate, it is likely the new man
 would simply be named a new di- ] rector. and then someone elected
 from the reorganized board for the
 presidency. In any event it seems ; as though the election of a new
 president will require the election of
 a new director.
 l John C. Loomis, former president,
 who is being mentioned as the most
 probable addition to the board 1 either as the new president if Mr. i Robb declines to accept, or as a di- rector. declined to comment upon the situation today except to ex-
 press the hope that the whole mat. 1 ter be smoothed out.
