MORGAN GIVES UP
 ALLIED NOTE SALE
Other Plans to Aid England and
 France Under Way

New York, Dec. 2.-The abandon ment by J. P. Morgan & Go. of the proposed sale of a limited amount of short-term British and French treas ury bills at the request of the allied governments, announced at New York yesterday, came as a surprise to the financial community. The announce ment issued from the Morgan offices stated that the action of the British and French governments was taken out of regard for the attitude adopt ed against the sale by the federal re- serve board. The surprise was heightened by the fact that all ar arrangements for the offering had been perfected.
 Other plans to finance the pressing needs of the British and French gov ernments are already under way, it is understood, but they have not yet reached definite stage. A member of the Morgan firm informally stated that no other plans had been formu- lated, but it was learned from reliable sources that the denial had been made as a matter of policy. The plans un- der contemplation, it Is intimated, will involve a large amount of "dol- lar credits,'' available to Great Brit ain, if not to her chief ally.
 British institutions and private in vestors still retain large amounts of American securities, although they have been largely mobilized by the British treasury. There have been no cancellations of orders for war sup plies or any other materials to the countries of the entente allies, ac- cording to the bankers acting for those interests, and no apprecia ble diminution of orders is expected.
 The British government continues to hold large reserves of gold in Can- ada and the more remote colonies, and these reserves, it is believed, will be employed to meet immediate ex- agencies, including stabilization of ex- change.

SWITCH LEFT OPEN,
 ENGINE CREW DIES
Express Crashes Into Freight Through Brakeman'S Mistake

Beacon Falls. Dec. 2-Two train men were killed, two passengers ser iously hurt and several others re- ceived minor injuries last night when the north bound Winsted express from New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad ran into an open switch and plowed through a standing freight train on a siding near this place. The engineer and firemen of the express were pinned at their posts and prob ably were scalded to death by es- caping steam from the boiler.
 The dead are:
 Eugene Lake of Bridgeport, en- gineer of express train, Charles Slack of Waterbury, fireman of express train.
 The most seriously injured were Joseph Wright and Augustus Merkle, both of Poughkeepsie, N. T., who were stealing a ride on the rear of the tender of the express train. Mer- k1e has a broken arm and scalp wounds; Wright has severe lacera- tions about the head and body. They were taken to St. Mary's hospital, Waterbury, where it was said they would recover. Both had miraculous escapes from more serious injury Wright being hurled through the locked door of the baggage car, while Merkle was pinned against the beams of the vestibule of the baggage car
 The engine rammed it's way through the caboose and three of the freight cars, setting them on fire. Three of the coaches of the express train left the track. The passengers were tossed about in all directions, but only a few were hurt enough to require the services of physicians.
 The accident occurred just south of the Beacon Falls station at o'clock. Within half an hour practically all of the passengers had boarded trolley cars for Waterbury and other points.
 Almost coincident with the crash, the wrecked freight cars sprang into flames. E. R. Erler, who lives nearly opposite the scene, telephoned for the fire department and ordered tele- phone operators to summon physicians from nearby towns. The f1remen ex- tinguished the blaze in short order Many physicians responded to the call, but there was little for them to do.
 Medical Examiner F. J. Futile gave orders to railroad workmen to remove the wreckage in order to reach the
 
 been partly hurled over the en- zine cab. and both men seated at their stations were weighted down un- der the mass of twisted iron and steel. At a late hour the work Of clearing the tracks was progressing slowly.
 Medical Examiner Futile acting for the coroner. late last night ordered the fagman of the freight train. w. J. Hershenroder of the Bronx. N. Y, locked up in the Beacon Falls police station. According to the story, Her. shenroder Is said to have told the m medical examiner he placed torpedoes on the tracks but neglected to close the switch. The freight was on the siding 10 minutes before the express was due. Wright and Merkle. who are at the hospital. were ordered held for the coroner also.
