scription sent them, had been found in

Bay View laborers who knew Costa
well, as soon as he received the note
from Kennedy, arrived in San Fran

lively identified as that of TIE missing
Bay View workman.
VIEWS BODY CALMLY
Then the coup was arranged of
bringing Lopez here from the Mar
tinez Jail and thrusting him before the
horrible corpse. This was done, but
Lopez was prepared for the shock and,
after looking at the body for time,
turned to the deputies and asked;
lis this Manuel Costa?"
He seemed to think the remark a
happy one for his cause, for he asked
the question again after about i've
minutes had elapsed.
Assistant District Attorney A. ]. Soto
of Contra Costa county, Sheriff Veale,
his two sons and Detectives Tom Muir
ply. Frank Esola, James Mackey and
Thomas Conlon have worked on the
case, and they alternated at question
ing Lopez yesterday in a private room
at the coroner's Office. The prisoner
maintained his attitude of innocence,
and replied to every sort of question,
however trivial or important 1t was,

the restraint he had put upon himself
at that time had died away. But, though
Deputy Sheriff w. N. Veale attacked
his prisoner with renewed vigor, Lopez
regained his grip and parried the que
ries with his old time shrewdness.
NO WOUNDS DISCOVERED
The Martinez officials with their pris-
oner returned TO their home town last
night. taking with them the clothing
Costa had on when he was picked up,
in order TO complete the identification
of the laborer there. A peculiar belt

Sheriff yeale is of the opinion that,
though Costa and Lopez came 10 san
Francisco together, they afterward re-
turned TO Bay View, and there. on the
shores of the bay. Costa was killed and
toppled into the bay.
CHANGES HIS STORY
Sheriff Barnet of Alameda county and
Detectives Conlon and Mackey held a
conference over the matter yesterday IN
Oakland, and decided TO institute an ex-
animation of the dead mans friends
that would leave no possible circunl-
stance connecting Lopez with the case
uninvestigated.
Ricardo Otera, a companion OF Lopez,
also is being held IN Martinez. but the
evidence against him is far from as
strong as that against Lopez. Lopez
declares THAI he got the deed to Costa's s
property from Otera. but when con-
fronted with the latter some days ago
he declared that he had never made
any such statement and told Otera the
sheriff lied when he claimed that he
had said it.

Pineapples arc now more plentiful.
the result of the coming on of the
Florida fall season.
FAN pineapples are never exception
ally good for the reason that the
weather conditions under which they
are generally produced prevent them

flavor. This years late crop will be

NOR years as far as quality is con-

only a few Florida growers attempt
to produce fan pineapples. which is
fortunate. for there is a limit TO the
demand for the fruit at this time of
the year There is such a demand
for the many other varieties Of fruit
on the market that no one kind enjoys
"a monopoly.
It must be said, however. 20 do
justice to the quality Of the pineapples

great many demands OF the house
keeper. For instance, they may be
used to advantage in salads and
where a housekeeper uses care IN Sc

mems sufficiently juicy and tender to
be sliced and served as dessert.
So far dealers have experienced lit
tie difficulty in disposing Of the pine
apples that have reached the market.
The fall shipments, struggling though
they are expected TO be, probably will
continue six weeks or two months
longer. Generally speaking the out
look for the season is about as it was

The Tennis Champion Says
MAY SUTTON
Tells American Girls How To Be
Healthy And Graceful.
~ FRANcIsCo. caI.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal
2 Don't drink coffee.
Don't drink tea.
Don't exercise too much.
These three don'ts constitute the ad-
vice of Miss May Sutton, champion
woman tennis player of the world. to
girls who would go in seriously and
systematically for athletics.
Eat what you want.
Take long walks.
Get all the fresh air you can.
These arc the three rules Miss Sutton
lays down for girls who desire merely
TO be strong and healthy.

ed on courts in San Francisco i'm a
series of exhibition matches. II had
been reported that she was not i'm the
best of health, but she gave no indica-
tion of having gone back" playing
her strong game that made her worlds
champion, with her same old dash and
accuracy.
At the close of the series Miss Sutton
was asked to tell what system of train
ing she had found most effective and
OF exercise and diet for the average
American girl. In part she said:
"While / advocate hearty eat
ing, cannot say too much
against the use OF tea or coffee
They are nerve destroyers and
no one can be healthy who per
sists in their use
TOO much exercise is as bad as toe
little. Walking is the best exercise
there Is. Early each morning. after
drinking a glass OF hot water, dressed
in loose clothing, I walk for nearly
an hour.
Athletics should receive some atten-
tion from every girl. II her time pre-
cludes the playing of tennis or golf she
should take long walks in the open air
both before the morning and evening
meal throwing the head and shoulders
back and taking long, deep draughts ol
that which money cannot buy but is il
reach Of the poor as well as the rich
pure air.
Pure air and a moderate amount Of
exercise I cannot too strongly impress
upon girls as being the only secret o
health and grace. Medicine for tina

imagine they feel all right, but wha
they really need is more fresh air anC
not quite so much sitting around th'
