OUGHT TO Be IYNCHED
Greenville Bellies Have a Grie-
vance Against a Camera
Fiend-caught on the
Beach.

An amateur photographer has caused
CONSERVATION in the ranks of GreenVille
society by training his snap shot camera
on the young ladies', who, for the past
few weeks have been enjoying daily
baths in the New York Bay. When the
bathing season opered a fisherman who
had noticed the fine sand bottom of the
shore at the foot of Danforth avenue,
decided to compete with the bathing
house owners of the Newark Bay shore,
and erected a row of bathing houses on
the spot.
The houses were finished in fine style
and the fisherman catered only to we'll
to-do people, AS a result his bathing
grounds soon became the resort of the
young society folk and was patronized
daily by large crowds. But his prospects
of success are endangered by the camera
iend. The young ladies ave declared
that they will not battle while a camera
is in sight, and they have the best of
reasons for declaring a boycott against
the place. The photographer who has
caused the trouble is a well known young
man residing in the Bergen section, who
is studying law in a New York college
and is now enjoying a vacation.
A LAW STUDENT.
This young man visited the New York
Bay shore two weeks 81 and began a
search for views" A number of the
young ladies We're sporting about in the
water, and before they knew that a man
was in the vicinity Mr.. Photographer
had snapped his camera on them. inc
moment the young ladies spied the cam
era they began a lively scramble for the
bathing houses. This was just what the
young man wanted, and while they were
and as being real mean he again pres
sed the button and caught the young
ladies in attitudes not altogether gracerul
THEY ALL CRIED.
1t happened hat the young maj knew
a number of the young ladies' male &C
quaintances, and when the pictures were
developed and printed he distributed
them promiscuously around. In due time
the young ladies learned that their pho
tographs We're in circulation and a coun-
Gil of war was held.
"Just think of it, said one of the girls;
"our costumes were rather short and
the curl was all out of our hair. Just
think of our being depicted in this man
ner. It's a shame And then all hands
the bathing place, and since then neither
one of them has bathed in the pay. one
of the photographs shows a well known
Greenville young lady in the act of turn
ing a somersault in the sand. This photo
has been seen by nearly every one of
the young lady's gentleman acquaint-
ances, and consequently the young lady
stays indoors as much rs possible.
The police have been asked to look out
for the young photographer, but as there
is no law preventing anyone who so de-
sires from taking photos, no matter what
the subject, nothing can be done. Ser
geant Charles Haag, who is an authority
on constitutional, State and municipal
law, when interviewed by a reporter of
THE Jersey City News" yesterday said:
mo, sir, there is no law covering the
matter. If these Young ladies appear
upon the shore in short costumes they
ought not to complain when they are
caught by a photographer. 1 do not know
how we can help them in any way"
