NILAND, Calif" Sept. 20- Raiiroad officials blamed a bnikesmans mistake tonight for a collision of two Southem Pacific passenger trains that killed 11 persons and injured more than 100 others early to- day.

C. F. Donnatln. Southern Pacific ouperintendent. said the wreck was caused by the sudden. unexplainable decision oi’ Erie Leonard Jacobson, vet- eran brakcmun, to throw n. switch as the Argonaiit. New Orlcans-to-Ims Angeles’ flier sped-toward a siting where the Chicago-bound Californian tourist train from Les Angclcs. was waiting.

The Argonaut engineer saw thc block signal arm rise, a rr-d light flash. Brakes screech- ed. but the big locomotive veered sharply and plunged into the tourist train.

llonnatin said Jacobson was dazed and hysterical from the cffc-ct of a decision he could nnt explain.
