RENT. 10 CENTS A MONTH
Corporation is Landlord, and Gives
Tenants Fuel Free

Atlantic City, N j., Nov 20.-Ten
cents month for rent, dwelling
house for $l20 year with free fire.
wood sounds like fiction, but 1t is a
fact, and right here In Atlantic City.
The houses which rent at these
dream-like prices are at Weymouth,
about six miles from Mays Landing.
They are owned by the Water Power
Company. When this company bought
an estate, 1t took over title to score
OF houses adjacent to the OLD paper
mills. Tenants had lived in these
houses for many years, some for life
time, and others for so long that they
had come to regard them, in way, as
their own.
This provided an instance to prove
that there were exceptions to the old
saying that corporations were without
souls. The new owners, not wishing to
disturb the tenants, but finding 1t le-
gally necessary to charge rent to pro.
tect their title to the property, fixed
the rents at 10 cents a month, and
leases to this effect were duly drawn
up and executed.
Under the terms of the leases, the
tenants are permitted to cut all the
f.rewood they need for their own use.

MANCHESTERMAN
MAY Be VICTIM Or
HIDDEN SLAYER
Suspicious Circumstances At
tached to Killing of Tiff
INQUEST WAS HELD TO-DAY
Body Found in Buggy on Lonely
Road with Bullet through
Heart

States Attorney George A. Math.
ers returned this morning to Man.
chester where an inquest was to be
held for the purpose. IL possible, of
placing the responsibility for the
killing OF Merritt Tiff whose life.
less body with bullet wound through
the heart was found in the Tiff
buggy on the road from Manchester
to Richville Saturday noon.
The logical conclusion Is that
Tiff was killed accidentally by a
bullet from the rifle OF some deer
hunter but there are some elements
of mystery in the case and these are
beng considered at the inquest be-
ing held today.
An autopsy was performed Sunday
by physicians from the state labora-
tory OF hygiene at Burlington. Attor.
ney General Frank c. Archibald and
States Attorney Mathers were both
In Manchester Sunday investigating
the case.
None OF the findings OF the autopsy
were made public but there are rumors
in Manchester indicative OF belief
that Tifft was deliberately shot from
ambush One fact that strengthens
the suspicion is the position OF the
wound. Tiff was shot squarely
through the chest, which would tend
to show that the rifle was held in the
hands of person near the highway
II not actually in it. Then, too. there
are rumors OF family troubles.
Tiff, who was 5S years old, was
employed by Samuel Greenberr a
Manchester junk dealer. At the time
Tiff was killed he was on his way
from Manchester village to his home
at Richvllle. He was passing
through lonely locality, with heavy
woods on each side Of the road. when
stricken. The body did not fall from
the buggy and was still warm when
found by Herbert Swift, superinten-
dent OF the Taft Lumber company
who was descending the mountain
ON horseback. Swift says that he
heard rifle shot about ten minutes
before he met Tiff rig.
The horse had travelled some dis
tance after the driver had been
XII led, finally stopping near bar
gate. Tiffts hat and pipe were
found In the woods near the highway,
presumably at the spot where he was
shot.
Mr.. Swift rode to Manchester and
informed Deputy James d. Purdy OF
the occurrence. The deputy took
charge OF the body until the arrival
of States Attorney Mathers ana the
attorney general.
The county and state officials have
refused to give out any information
but there Is general opinion in and
around Manchester that Tifft's death
was due to foul play. The surround.
ings In the immediate locality of the
tragedy are such to preclude, to q
large degree, the possibility that the
man was hit by a stray bullet.
