BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, May 27 G.N.So.
The market was talked into a
rally yesterday. Reports from
Washington indicating a brighter
outlook for the sales tax, COM
bined with rumors of banking
conferences and support coming
into the market, made the bears
nervous and brought about a
covering movement.
The list was ripe for a rally
anyway, in view of the extent OF
the decline this week.
Must Get Action
AS low as stocks may be, how
ever, the fact still remains that
action alone, and not talk, is the
big need if the market is to carry
through.
A decided change of sentiment
will take place in Wall Street if
the sales tax goes through. Ac-

RING IS MISSING
IN DOUBLE MURDER
Salesman Of Multiple Ro-

Victims on Long Island.
Ru the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MINEOI.A, N. Y, April 21.--A gold
ring, curiously missing. puzzled police
today as they sought to solve double
killing latest in Long Islands series Of
mysterious deaths.
The ring a band with a single dia-
,,ond was torn from the finger of Ed
ward r Brinker electric light sales
man of multiple romances, by persons
Who hammered him and a young woman
friend on the heads and left them dying
on a lonely farm at Willlston Park
yesterday.
Rrinker's money was not taken. Po-

moved 1t bore the letters l. l.. Y. Il
love you) and was given to the sales
NAN detectives learned, by Mrs. jose
phina Tillitson, black-cyed matron who
ppoIlad herself Brinkers second wife.
Nre Tillitson and four relatives were
questioned all night. Edwards said
thev would not be held, however.
Regarded as Fiance.
Tho girl who died with Brinker was
D.iee Rose Welk, 30-year-old private
secretary. Her family had looked on him
&c her fiance. He had been divorced
in 1925 from a Brooklyn woman, to
whom he was paying $40 week for
he sI,nnort of an 11-year-old daughter.
Although Mrs. Tillitson had called her
Golf his second wife, detectives said
they were not married.
Brinker was the son of hardware
,oagnate Mrs. TillitSon said he drove
her to the Flushing shopping district
Monday, and that was the last she saw
of him. A truck driver came upon the
bodies.
Both had been gagged, Brinker with
an old blue shirt and the girl with ad-
bv repeated blows. their throats slashed
and dirt was ground into the wounds
as though they had rolled on the earth,
struggling.
Former Wife's Remark.
Brinker's former wife, now Brook
lyn telephone operator, gave bit OF
information which intrigued detectives.
She said she met him recently and that
he remarked:
"Ah. well. you won't have to think OF
me much longer. A girl friend fired a
couple of shots at me the other night. p"
The identity of this girl friend was
one of the things the police were trying
to find out.
Another puzzling phase lay in the
fact that Brinker's automobile was
found abandoned in Bayside, miles
away at least three hours before the
attack was believed to have been made.
This led detectives to a theory that the
killers were persons Brinker and Miss
Welk considered friendly, that the vic
tins left their own car and went with
the unknown persons to the place where
the bodies were found. Miss Welk' s
hat, red felt, and one of her shoes
lay some distance away.
Besides Mrs. Tillitson. the persons
under questioning this morning were
her brothers. Frank, Raymond and
Santiago Nadil, and her sister, Mrs.
Isabelle Lopez. Three years ago Mr..
and Mrs. Saro Graziano, both youthful,
were found shot to death near a de-
serted bungalow at Franklin Square,
Long Island, and there were similar
signs of a struggle. Investigation de-
veloped that the two we're shot because
they gave police information about a
hold-up gang. Two were executed.

Master Sergt. Paul r. Nelson, Coast

Maj. Gen. Andrew Hero, IT., chief of

ment s1.0O0,000 in 10 years, but the
master sergeant himself has never re-
ceived reward. There was still pend
ing in Congress a measure to grant

The device invented by Nelson is for
the control Of mines which are placed
IN groups OF l9 and are attached to the
shore. 1t was necessary formerly to
have 19 cables and 10 currents for such
mines. After years Of experimenting
Nelson perfected service something
like dial telephone, with which only
one cable Is necessary.
