Services For BoWery Bank Official Who Committed Suicide Set For Tomorrow.

New York, Feb. 5 (CP)-FuneraI services for William E. Knox, presi- dent of the Bowery Savings bank, who committed suicide yesterday, will be held tomorrow.
 Cause of the suicide was believed to be a mental and nervous break down, attributable in part to a minor dedication, amounting to about s4,000, by three jupnior employees of the bank last fall. The immense resources of the bank were but lightly touched hy the dedication, but Knox was known to have wor- ried much about it.
 The banks financial affairs were wound. it was said today, and no source of discord could be found in the bankers personal life. The de- cision to commit suicide must have been spontaneous since Knox, noti- fled while in the rest room, that an- other bank president sought him on the telephone, told an employe, "I'n come immediately"
