Flor ence Thompson Castle today as in vestigators renewed their interro gation of an admirer of the pretty uiKht club entertainer. Herbert J. Walter was called in to the caso to study a bizarre mess age scrawled in lipstick on a mir ror In the victim's hotel room. It read: "Black Legon game" in terpreted to mean "Black Legion gaine." Subjoined waa a printed skull and cross bones. Chief of Detectives J. L. Sulli van terming It one of a number of "intentionally misleading clueB" UL't by the mau who crushed Mrs. Jamie's skull with a paving brick early yesterday as she lay in bed beside her Beven-year-ohi son asked Walter to compare the note with hundwrltinff of persons Ques tioned in the case. Sullivan announced James I). Hiitt, a Slovens Point, Wis., fur rier, was sought for Interroga tion. Ho said Britt had resided at the same hotel us Mrs. Castle this month and had entertained her at a night club. A man registered under that nurtie, the chief added, had checked out of a loop hostelry lust night. Sidney Schaps, 32, master of ceremonies at a north side cafe who listed himself as a "good friend" of the brunette hostess, was held for a new quiz after he had submitted to a lie detector test. Captain William O'Brien said Schaps was "shaky on all his answers about hia activities" Sun day night. ; ij4fl Mrs. Nancy Polftts, mother of the 24-year-old victim, told police Schaps was jealous of her daugh ter and had threatened her. Young James informed investi gators it was about 1 a. m. Mon day when a man who resembled a negro crawled in the window and beat and choked his molher. ile demanded to know from the horri fied boy: "Who were you and your mother out with last night?" It was the official theory that the slayer had covered his face with black grease paint and affect ed a negro dialect to frustrate iden tification by the boy who watch ed the grotesque crime. FORTV HOUR 11 WASHINGTON Juno 30. (AP) Legislation requiring f 1 r in s which sell gootLs to the govern- iient to comply with the 40-hour ork 'week and other labor regula tions was signed into law today by President Iiooaevelt. Known as the WulMi-IIenlcy bill, the meaKiire was pushed through in tlio closing hours ol congress ufter the American Federation of Labor had made a strong appeal for its passage. Proponents have estimated that it will affect i5 per cent of the na tion's business. They have denied, huwever, that it constitutes an at tempt to "revive" the NHA. Lnder the new law those who sell goods and materials to gov ernment agencies, in amounts of ?1U,uu0 or more not purchascable ordinarily on the open market, must conform to labor require ments writteH Into their contracts. those will Include a maximum working day of eight hours and a maximum work week of 40 hours: payment of wage rates prevailing in the locality; employment of no boys under is nor girls under 16; banning of sweat-shop, convict and Home-work labor; factory sanita tion at least equal to that required under state law; and outlawing of wage "kick backs' to contractors by the workers. The law applies only to the prin cipal contractors, instead of also affecting sub-con tractors as did the original measure passed by the senate a year ago. The law complements the Dacon- Iavis act requiring payment of prevailing wages by contractors on government construction.

Mrs. Km m a Scott Jioee, 80, moth er of Mrs. Snyder, was beaten so badly she was not expected to live. A visitor, Mrs. Grace Mortensen, 35, of Salt Lake City, was badly cut and bruised. Police, shocked at the sanguin ary picture presented in the Sny der home, could obtain little help from the child witness to the bru tal crimes, curly-haired Betty Becker. They said they were seeking George Mortensen, 37, husband of Mrs. Grace Mortensen, for questioning. I'he victima were bludgeoned with a pick-handle. Police Sergeant L. M. illlton Jnan Vasquez, 22 months old, was abandoned by his mother, a cafe enter tainer, at Los Angeles. Juan likes cigarettes. And he likes wine too. But he hasn't any opportunity for those things now. He's being1 cared iov by the Children's Home Finding Society, and they're looking for his . mother.
