Th "PhotoKrnnhlc Salon of America"
opened today nt Wnnamnkor's. It Is tho
lllh annunl exhibition of the country's .
photographers, and In a showing of more
than 1400 pictures more than 60 per cent,
of them come from out of town. Thoro
are pictures from Maine to Chllfornla and
from New Tori: to New Orleans. It Is
certainly completo from a ceogr .plilcal
standpoint and beautiful from an artistic
one. I
According to Alfred Stelslltz, of New
Tork, ono of tho Judges, the standards of '
election for prlics or mention was higher t
this year man over oeiorc. i no judges,
ho said, "had no great dimculty In select
ing tho prlzo pictures from tho 1400 pho
tographs submlttcd'to them, In splto of tho
fact that they wero unusually strict this
year, and that tho standard required for
acceptance for mentioning was higher.
Imitation of painting and manipulated
prints wero unanimously condemned by
the judges."
Associated with Mr. Stleglltz as Judges
wero Charles Orafly, dcorgo Olbbs, II.
Jjyman Saycn and P, Vnux Wilson.
Ono realizes after seeing this exhibition
that the photographer Is as slnocroly nn
artist as Is tho singer or painter or any
follower of tho other flno crafts. lie bus
Bomethlng to oxprcss, and tho exhibition
proves that It can bo .done.
GREAT VAHIETT OF SUBJECTS.
There Is a dollghtful variety In sub
jects ; one finds alt tho elements of human
personality In tho different groups. Tho
three major prizes nro ovldenco of the
wide appreciation pf tho Judges; tho first
prlzo, a study of a Moroccan group called
'Tho Shaving of Shagpat," by Charles
13. Keeler, of Cedar Ilaplds, la.; tho
peoond prize, a forcoful plcturo of a
Delaware Itlvor scene when a battleship
Is launched, called "Tho Launching," by
Charles O. Hahnovltz, of tho Evening
UoDonn-FOBUc LnDocn staff of photog
raphers; and the third prize by Wllllamlna
Farrlsh, of St. Louis, called "Baclo Delia
Luna," a dramatic nude, which tho or
dinary observer would prefer to tho first
prize. Technically, however, It Is not so
good, tho Judges say.
The exhibition by tho nowspaper artists
la particularly large, including photo
graphs by Arthur Borgoy, Walter Crall,
Mr. Helmovltz, Harry S. Hood, Howaid
Prlco Klngsmoro and C. J. Owens, all be

SLAYER LURKED IN DARK
Tho murder of Illta Rossi, or .Toscjihlno
Swanson, as somr know her, wan as much
a mystery today ns It was last til.'tht
tthen the woman's body wns found lying
In a gutter In Ree.e street near Cypress,
which is In the tanglo of small BttoeU
within a block bounded by Gth, 0th, l'lno
and Spruce streets.
Cologclo Costa was arrested. He de
nied nny knowledge of tho murder, hut
ndmitted ho had been living with the I
woman nt Sll Cypress sticct. Within GO !
yards or that house. In a narrow nllcy.
tho body lay. A man, who disappeared
soon nftorwnrd, notified a policeman, who
found the body In n i'ol of blood Hho
hnd been wounded In the neck by a hatchet
or cleaver, nnd was- pronounced dead and
sent to tho Morgue nfter being taken to
tho Pcnnsyhanla Hospital.
SUBI'KCT FORM HIl LOVKR.
In splto of the Italian name she took,
tho woman Is said fn bo of Irish birth
Sho was 34 years old. There had been
no quarrel nt the Cypress street house,
and tho prisoner said thero was no rea
son why ho should have attacked Rita
Rossi. Tho police had no reason to doubt
him, and It Is their theory that a man
who is known to havo lived with her
before she met Costa had killed her In
rovenge for having left him.
Tho houso In Cypress street is occupied
by Polish families, nono of whom knew
anything about the woman. Costa Is a
stono mason, employed at Media, Dcl
awaro County.
The murder was committed In a patt of
Rceao street which Is scarcely wilder than
an alley. A single street lamp Is near the
place where tho body was found. Within
a few yards of this light tho wall of a
small tenement houso JtitH out almost to
tho curb and leaves n part of tho narrow
sidewalk In darkness.
MURDIORKR LAV IN WAIT.
It wns In this angle that the murderer
ovldcntly hid and waited for the woman.
She must have met her death without a
moment's warning, for no outcry was
heard In that thickly populated hack
street, nlthough tho occupants of the
ground-floor houses wero within a few
feet of tho place where Rita Rossi was
struck down.
Costa will havo a hearing nt City Hall
today.
Mrs. Sadie Lincoln, of 917 South 5th
street, said sho know the woman well.
Sho said Rita had worried a great deal
recently, though Costa was treating her
kindly. Possibly sho had received threats
from her former sweetheart. Sho trembled
sometimes as she talked. Mrs. Lincoln
bald Rita Rossi had como here from Mill
vllle, N. J several years ago.
The woman hnd gone to a shop at 315
South Gth street yesterday, tho police
said, to get a $10 bill changed. Two $5
bills wero found on Costu, but there was
no reason to bellcvo Rita Rossi had not
gotten tho money changed at his request
and brought him tho bills herself. There
seemed to havo been no attempt to rob
tho body.

Bud Squarewood Draws in
I 1 J-M
uooa uia
Kvqv heifr of an opera season open
without the opera? Or the baseball sea
son start without tho ball? Well, the
shad season opens today without the shad,
down nt Yawp Shoio, N, J.
It might seem like taking too much for
nrnnlail t.. .,... Il.nl tl... unir,n tirlll ufnft
d......... n . ....j iiiiil Ltiv: rvu.ui. it... ....... j
wHl.filtt n Mlnrrt,. null lint tin. I.roillptlnn
Is based upon the past monts of Yawp
Shore, liven the erj oldest of the popu
latlon of lliree does not lecull n shatl ever
being caught on the olllclal opening of tho
season. Tht fact that tho season opens
elsewhere somewhat later does not matter.
For convenience sake, It might be stated
that Yawp Khoro Is a llttlo stretch (III fact,
little more than u yawn) of laud southeast
of Mlllvllle and skirting .Maurice River.
Tho principal occupation of tho Inhabit
ants is fishing, net mending and planning
for thu future. Incidentally, tho ftituro Is
"alluz a long ways orf," according to Bud
Squarewood, tho principal Inhabitant, for
tho place Is Just the samo now as It was
2!i years ago and -0 years beforo that,
except for being more tired-looking nnd a
llttlo "rustler."
Bud was out In his boat early today
tiylng to co-operato with the shad, hut
they wero not reclprocitlvo In tho least.
In fact, tho best that Bud could land In
his net was a couple of nillk churns for
merly owned by a defunct milkman, who
stopped selling milk long beforo ho be
came defunct simply because his cows
disagreed with the utmosphcro which
hovered around Maurice River nnd did
the next beat thing that was possible,
anil that was to die.
HAUL IN OLD SHOES.
But In addition to tho milk churns.
Bud nlbo captured a collection of vari
colored tin enns, tho last echoes of a
fisherman's boarding houso; bits of rusty
chain, mar.y pairs of old shoes, half of a
hip bjot. somewhat hlplcss, and numer
ous other things which usually go with
a tired-looking sleepy strenm that Is too
lazy to havo waves.
To reach Yawp Shore It Is first neces
sary to go to Mlllvllle. Then you go to
tho livery stable near tho station nnd
get a hack. You will learn that tho
hackman Is not tickled to death over tho
possibility of taking you to tho place be
causo he knows what It means. But he
always agrees after an argument to tao
you there nnd back for $1.00 If It nln't
raining. Ralu just doubles the price.
Tho trip to Yawp Shoro from Mlllvlllo
might bo explained briefly as road, forest,
swamp, road, forest, Bwnmp, Yawp Shore;
total, 5i miles.
Among the prominent residents are
John nnd Joseph Chance. But their
name belles them, ns they bellovo only In
sure things. They are assured of silence
at their present homestead. It might be
worth while mentioning that In addition
to the two Chances thero aro two houses,
a ahacl: and eight tanks, once used for
salting herring, aiid a blacksmith shop,
which Is also a cigar store, scinl
garago for tired nutos, town hall nnd jail,
should anybody bo arrested for speeding.

TALKS OF OLD DAY'S.
Bud Squarewood said today, after row
ing reluctantly from the middle of tho
stream, that Yawp Shoic used to bo a
slicker placo than it Is Just now. "Sum
other sllcklst chaps from Phlllydelphy
used'n tor cum ter Yawp. An' there was a
boardln' houso lieto kept by Mom Peterson
that could just cloud up nnd rain all over
'em fancy places when It cum ter gittln'
wlttles of tho kind what a feller wnnts."
The two Chances agreed with this. Joe
riianco ndmitted with n Mink that Yawp
became a fisherman's hang-out for anglers
with n thirst, as well as a line, "an' wot's
more," he whispered, "a feller could havo
as much thirst as ho wanted down here
an' he could uluuys get somothln' worth
while to uso It on, an" nobody did anything
but mind their own hlsnlss, which made
things alllred pleasant."
Asked how the place got Its name, Joe
declared:
"Well, away back some years ago wo
wuz all slttlu' In tho cigar storo kept by
HIM ('rigger, when ono of tho chapi from
I'hllly said this placo ought ter have a
name, .list then my r.ig Jlp gives a sort
of a yawp, with his feet stretched out
aforo him and his back up In tho air.
An' I Jumped up quick as a wink an' I
says wo'll call It Yawp Shore an' we did."
Joo paused for breath at the recollection,
and watched the smoke rings from his
clay plpo drift lazily over the Maurlco
River. Then Yawp Shore vent a flshln'.
