DROWNS IN .HoUSATONIC
 AT A.B.C. DOCK
Employe of T. A. Scott Wrecking Co. Fall Over
 board When Lever Slips.

Losing his grip on the lever as 1t slipped from the capstan on board a dredge in the Housatonic river south of the railroad bridge, about 8 o'clock this morning, Big Mike" McErheh, aged about 30. an employe of the T.. A. Scott Wrecking Co. of New London, fell from the dredge into the murky water and was drowned. His body did not come to the top but it was re- covered a short time later after other employes had grappled for it.
 McEhreh. six feet tall and weighing close to 225 pounds, was known as "Big Mike' by the other employees of the company who are dredging the river for, a. dock. for the American Brass Co. He was employed two weeks ago and had been one of the most active and willing workers in the crew. F.
 This morning the men were direct ed by the foreman to wind the capstan and pull a scow nearer the dredge. McErheh and several of the others took the levers and started turning the capstan. They were winding the rope about ten minutes when suddenly Mo- Erheh's bar slipped f1pm the capstan and he plunged backward over the side of the dredge. tt
 The other men stopped their work and were ready to plunge into the wa ter after McErheh, but he did not rise to the surface. ,Grappling irons were obtained and after the water about the dredge had been dragged for some time the body was brought to the sur face. Life was extinct and Medical Examiner Cogswen of Stratford was notified.
 \ At, the spot where McErheh fell into the water it is about Is feet deep and there is hardly any current. The body was not struck by the bar as it fell into the water and the members of the crew of the dredge are nonplussed be- cause the body did not rise to- the sur face.
 Little is known of McErheh by the other emp1oyes on the dredge, but 1t Is believed he has a sister in Boston. The Boston authorities have been commun- icated with and are making efforts to locate her.
 The body was taken to the morgue of Frank L. Curtis in Stratfordi to await the location of relatives.
 Fellow employees believe McErhen formerly lived in Milford.

Remington Arms Union Me tallic Cartridge Co. Re ported Aband doning De velopment Schemes, Offer ing Equipment to \ Local Civic Body.
Million Brick and Other Con structiop Materials Placed Upon Market By Arms Factory Interests Rem ington City To Be Cur tailed.

In accordance with the recently changed plans of the Remington Arms-Union Metallic Cartridge Co.,, which involved the shifting of heads at both the Remington Arms & Am munitfon Go. and the Union Metallic Cartridge Co.'S plants here the future of Remington City is. now materially altered. .fs
 Radical elimination of the projected scope of Remington City, as that sec ton between Bond street and the Stratford line, east of Barnum ave- nue. had become generally known, has resulted in the reported offerings of huge quantities of brick. lumber and building material to local con tractors. That large tracts of lands as well as buildings. either completed or uncompleted may be purchased and have already been offered to the housing committee of the Chamber of Commerce is tacitly admitted by officials of the Remington Arms & Ammunition Co. today.
 It is not to be assumed that all building operations of the company looking towards housing of employees will be stopped but it has been found by those investigating the economic situation that plans for housing, as well as other departments of the biz industry, were far beyond the actual needs of the company for many years Curtailment is the natural result.
 Local contractors who have been asked to bid upon more than a million brick and huge quantities of building material were under the impression today that no more actual building will be completed here, be- yond the big dormitories. This is not true, however, upon the positive asser- ton of Frank. B. Blake, real estate of the company, today, who said: It is not 50 that we have shut down, though our plans have been changed. We are still building and will continue to build"
 Mir. Blake further explained in ref erence to the sale of brick that where 200 houses of brick originally had been planned they will now be completed with wood and might even be sold be- fore ompletion as had been reported today. We have been selling from the start" he volunteered. land. will sell .,ything we have got" he further
