The meeting Of the citizens called for this afternoon is expected to complete such arrangements us may be necessary for preventing any embarrassment to the banks constituency.
 Public sentiment among the towns people. who had previously evinced the utmost confidence has undergone a change during the past twenty-four hours, as evidenced by a continued run on the savings department of the bank throughout yesterday. The line of depositors withdrawing funds from the institution was not long one but an average Of IS to 20 were in line throughout the day yesterday.
 Public Losing Confidence
 That the absence of any direct off cial statement of the conditions found in the bank was responsible for this statement of the conditions found in the bank was responsible for this change in the attitude of local resi- dents and depoaitors and stockholders of the bank was made plain in inter- views with many of them. That no statement came from the directors af- ter last nights protracted session was the cause of added disappointment. It was regarded as certain however that some official disclosure of the nature and extent of the shortage at the bank, already admitted by an official source, would be forthcoming today.
 The members of the Gipatric fam fly whose policy of silence has been since the discovery of the at suicide of Mir. Gilpatric, continued to refuse information up to this morning the only source of in- formation being close friends of the family. From these it has been learn- ed that Mir. Gilpatric in note left for his wife on the day of the shoot ing revealed the fact that he was involved and had therefore decided to end his life.
 Condition Unchanged
 There was little if any change in the condition of the patient at the hospital today. His temperature was icwer, however and if there was any change noted it vas for the better, the hospital authorities said.
 No visitors except members of the family have been permitted to see the so far as could be ascertained and some member of the family is said to have been with him almost since he was taken to the hospital last Thursday afternoon. Con- whatever information he nay have revealed in the written note o his wife or in conversation since he shot himself, is in possession of the 'amily who have refused to give out my facts.

 Absence of an accounting in the Mary Gardner estate of sS5,000 of which Mir Gilpatric was administrator S said to be the subject of inquiry he nature of which has not been l made public. Beyond the fact that le was interested in numerous indus rial and business enterprises and had n many occasions induced his friends O invest their funds in them nothing s known as to the possibility of these ,cing involved in the financial diff | ultios which led to the attempted | uiCide
