2O-YEAR BATTLE
 ENDS IN DEATH MOTHER -N-LAW
Prominent Cincinnatian Thus Explains Killing,
 Surrenders to Police

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept. 29.-Rain soaked and dishevelled with his clothes bearing the marks of sixty hours out of doors, Vinton Perrin, 50, surrendered himself today to answer for the staying of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Frances D.. Rawson, 77, and for th> shooting of his sister-in law, Miss Nina Rawson.
 Alternately sobbing, testing and pacing the floor of detective headquar- ters Perrin related that after fleeing from the Rawson household on Friday night, bearing the smoking revolver. he walked to Walton, Ky, B miles away. This morning he telephoned Safety Director Charles E. Tudor.
 For Twenty Years
 Perrin told a story of twenty years of alleged persecution by his motherin- law in attenuation of his killing her at the Rawson house last Friday night. She opposed his marriage to her daugh- ter, Deborah, he said, and since the wedding did everything she could to eliminate him. Perrin readily admitted the shooting, but showed an aversion to talk of the actual killing itself. confining his first explanations to what lead up to the shooting and what came after it.
 Our argument which preceded the shooting was about Nina Rawson's building, an apartment house, and turn ing 1t over to my wife to operate and take in university men as boarders,' Perrin said. II objected to this, saying it would demean my wife whose stand ing was above such work. Then they jumped all over ne and it all started"
 Had Poison Tablets
 A search of Perin's pockets revealed that he had four poison tablets and only $2.S7.
 After the shooting it was terrible. couldn't think. I was trying to get my mind together. 1 could have com mitted suicide if I wanted to. I had poison with me. But had still enough sense not to try that"

FUNDS SOUGHT IN TEXAS WAR
 WITH DISEASE
Preparations Made for Seven-Months Battle to
 Save Stock
lRx Assnciatei Press !


 HOUSTON, Texas, Sept. 29.-Plans to finance the campaign against the foot and mouth disease, now in the fourth day of its progress in this vicity, the announcement that no new outbreaks had been discovered. and fevererish preparations in the face of difficulties to destrop approximately 1900 infected cattle on about 5000 acres of pasture land, were the outstanding developments in the quarantine situation here today.
 The financial aspect was canvassed' at a conference between Governor Neff and members of the sanitary livestock commission with the result that the governor announced he. would confer to- morrow in Austin with the state bank ing commissioner in an effort to induce the bankers of the state to cash defi- ciency warrants for an initial $5o0, ,000 at face value. A like amount is on deposit in Houston banks as the first contribution of the federal government toward stamping out the disease, accord ing to a statement by Dr. Marion lines of California, foot and mouth disease expert of the department of agriculture and in charge of the field forces here.
 Dr. lines, who has called into the confernece, said the initial contribution of the state should not be less than $50, 900 to which the governor, assented. adding that the full power of the state government were behind the struggle. Meanwhile the state has the equivalent of approximately $200,000, including $7,000 set apart for the sanitary com missions use which Dr. lines said would be made available here by Wash ington.
 In tho estima tion of the povernor that sum would carry the situation. ex- cept for payment of the cattle marked for slaughter, until the legislature meets in January.
 Dr. lines told the conferees that prev ious outbreaks had never been eradicated in less than seven months and it was his judgment that with the most favorable developments inspectors should be kept in the field here for th at lon gil, of tinan

feet profoundly the serious interests and rights of many other countries.
 An example was the assumed de- cision by England to prevent the ex- portation of coal to countries absolu- tely dependent on coal centers for their existences. Still another was American cotton. The United States in prevent ing the exportation of cotton, or so increasing the price as to render pur- chase impossible, would, 1t was argued, be committing an act detrimental to international interests and would there fore give rise to a problem which in equity at least, international and not domestic, law should handle.
 Influenced by remarks from the Japanese delegation itself, the. impress sion grew tonight that the Japanese had decided to make tbeir great stand ,at Geneva in behalf of equality of treat ment for far eastern races and partieu- larly the Japanese at the hands of the other world races. Many of. the dele gates frankly compliment the Japanese npon the courageousness and adriot- ness of their move.

 The statement, which appeared as a communication to the judge, de- | clared that Magee did not consider | his tribunal a properly constituted | court and that he appeared only be- | cause Judge Leahy has invoked the law Of the state to compel his ap- pearance.
