PRESIDENT WILSON
 DISCUSSES PERSONAL ATTACK ON HIMSELF


 President Wilson, says the Spring field Republican, discussed today Stlae aggressive criticisms of himself, when he received the newspaper correspond ents- He was in the best of temper about it, but deprecated a very ap- parent effort to take the subject out of the range of sensible argument and make cheap campaign against the White House. Washington learned speedily of the things President Will son said in that connection, especially his anecdote regarding an orator who was, convincing a. hostile audience, when one, addressing the champion of the other side, yelled: Tom, call him a liar and start a. fight t.s's s
 The president denied very positive Sly staten ents by Representative KnowIand about a Bargain with the British governm ent. It was also de- nied today officially in London, and Representative KnowIand, finding himself in a close corner, declared that he had not said what was attribute q to him. Facts are the Pacific coast brethren of both parties. KnowIand as we'll as Cham ber1ain in the Senate, have been exceedingly impetuous MT. Knowland happens not to be above suspicion in the role of friend of the people. Just now he is a declared candidate for United States senator, which may explain something, just as does the fact that Mir. Cham berlain is candidate for reelection.

HYPNOTIC VICTIM
 CONNECTS LAWYER
Influenced By Master Mind, He Helped Dupe Italian Fruit
 Growers

New York, March 31-In the con viction yesterday in general sessions for grand larceny of Philip s. Saitta, 8 lawyer, Judge Swann, as well as the Jury, listened fascinated by the character of the evidence which re- svea1ed an extraordinary psychological study of the subjection of one man to the domination of another,t of a man named Salvador F. Cato, who blindly followed sSaittas dict ation.
 So convincing was the story Cato told of his servitude as Saitta's slave, that when the jury rendered it's yer dice, Judge Swann said:
 Gatto palbably had become an au- tomaton under the influence Of a. mas ter mind. Unquestionably he had felt the irresistible coYnpulsioins to perform whatever act he was bidden to per form The case developed an instance in real life of one persons being 'svengalied by the influence of a su- perior mind
 Saitta was on trial for having duped Italian lemon growers into sending consignments of fruit to a. dummy firm, using the old and well known commission house name of Ferdinez 6 Cato. Saittas made Gatto sign for the consignments and then turn them over to him.
 Once he struck me-" Gatto testf- lied .I started to cry and he drove me out of his office. That same day he made me pawn my watch for s12O make me do anything he wanted. I might know it was wrong, but I'd do it just the same .''sr
 After the verdict was. announced, Cato slunk out of the court room sobbing.
