Killing Eleven
Brakeman's Error Cause
of California's Worst
Rail Tragedy
Crash Injures Hundred
as Trains Telescope
on Siding
NILAND, Cal., Sept. 20 (JF)
Eleven persons were killed and
more than 100 injured today
when the speeding Southern Pa
cific Argonaut was shunted into
the Calif ornlan, loaded tourist
train on a siding by a careless
brakeman. j
It was one of California's worst
railroad wrecks in history.
Some of the injured were ex
pected to die.
Said C. F. Donnatin, Southern
Pacific superintendent: "The
wreck was caused by man failure,
an unexplalnable act by Eric
Leonard Jacobson, headend
brakeman ln our employ for IS
years." '
Brakeman Unable '
To Explain Act !
Jacobson, dazed, hysterical, by
the effect of a decision he could
not explain, violated an important
rule of the service, namely: that
when a train is on a siding, wait
ing for another to pass on a sin
gle main track, he must not ap
proach nearer than 20 feet from
the switch stand.
: Both locomotives were smashed
to smouldering piles of scrap met
al, five coaches were overturned.
S00 feet of track ripped up by the
terrific collision. Scores were
trapped ln the forward coaches of
the Californian, and acetylene
torches had to be used to reach
some of the bodies.
Fireman Warns
Engineer to Jump
S. C. Mason, white-haired en
gineer of the Californian, beard
his fireman. P. E. Martin, shout
ing: "Jump! jump! she's coming
at us!" Mason jumped. He was
the only survivor of the two loco
motive crews. Martin was crush
ed to death in his cab. ;
Communication lines were cut
down as poles fell along the right
of way, smashed by the big, rush
ing locomotive. The third car of
the Californian, a streamlined
coach on a non-streamlined train,
suffered greatest damage. The
heavy baggage car in front teles
coped it. All eight of the dead pas
seners were taken from this
coach.
Although there were screams
from hysterical passengers, order
soon was restored, and J. H. Dyer
of San Francisco, a Southern Pa
cific vice-president whose private
car was attached to the Argonaut,
took personal charge of the rescue
work. The dead were taken to
Brawley and Indio, nearby Imper
ial valley points. Injured were
taken by a hastily-summoned
train from Niland, to Yuma, Ariz.,
and Indio.
Mother Killed
Infant Lives
One of the survivors of the
wreck was the eight-months-old
baby of Mrs. Joe Sorrels of Tuc
son, Ariz. She was killed, but
the infant was only slightly
hurt.
In ' the baggage car of the
Californian, badly jammed in
tel e s c o p in g, the streamlined
coach, scores of - baby chicks
walked" about, their shipping
case broken open in the wreck.
Railroad officials said the
track would be repaired and
Bervice restored tonight.

Second Confab
With Fuehrer
Chamberlain to Continue
- Czech Negotiations
at Godesburg j
British Prime Minister
; Desires Definite Word
From Czechs
LONDON, Sept. 21-(Wednes-
day)-ip)-Faced with a "polite.
but virtual refusal" from
Prague to accept definitely Adolf
Hitler s demands to yield the
Sudetenlands, the British and
French; governments hastened
today to bring renewed pressure
on Czechoslovakia for an ac
ceptance.
Prime Minister Neville' Cham
berlain: announced his plans to
fly to I Godesberg on the Rhine
Thursday to meet Hitler the sec
ond time for a continuation of
negotiations.
His .decision was reported to
have been taken before there
"Was official cognizance of the
contents of the Prague reply to
the IBrltish-French proposals
formulated Sunday to keep the
peace in Europe.
The; British and French min
isters in Prague were instructed
to make a midnight call upon
Foreign Minister Kamil Krofta
in Prague and urge Czechoslo
vakia ;to accept the plan because
"time I presses."
Chamberlain Wants
Definite Plan
Chamberlain wanted to have
a definite agreement to lay down
before the German fuehrer when
he makes his second personal
talk with Hitler Thursday, but
sources close to the foreign of
fice said the Czechoslovakia's
reply I "made certain reserva
tions' Czechoslovakia was said to have
suggested invocation of her treaty
of friendship and arbitration of
1926 j with Germany td settle the
matter.
An official communique issued
at No. Ten Downing street late
tonight said:
"The prime minister and the
German fuehrer and chancellor
have decided to resume the con
versations ' which they began at
Berchtesgaden at Godesberg on
Thursday, Sept. 22, at 3 p.m. (9
p.m.j EST)."
Godesberg is on the Rhine,
much nearer than the .meeting
place of last Thursday, when
Chamberlain journeyed into the
Bavarian Alps for his talk with
Chancellor Hitler at his Berchtes
gaden retreat.
The prime minister and his "in
ner cabinet" Foreign Secretary
Viscount Halifax. Chancellor of
the Exchequer Sir John Simon,
and ; Home Secretary Sir Samuel
Hoaxe were expected to meet to
morrow to consider the Czecho
slovak reply before Chamberlain
leaves for Germany Thursday.
Chamberlain will fly again on
his second trip as he did on the
first last Thursday, and once more
he will be accompanied by Sir
Horace Wilson and William
Strang, foreign office experts who
traveled with him to Berchtesga
den. There was some doubt in Lon
don as to just how long Chancel
lor Hitler would be willing to al
low negotiations to continue, but
since Prague abstained from re
jecting outright what the Czechs
call "an invitation to commit sui
cide," official London hoped to
achieve a solution.
Jobless Solution
Held 6-Hour Day
LAFAYETTE, Ind., SepC 20-P)-The
American Federation of La
bor believes the solution to the
nation's unemployment problem is
a six-hour- day and a 30-hour
week, William, Green, president,
told delegates to the 54 th annual
contention of the state federation
here today.
He estimated the nation had
11,000,000 , unemployed and as
serted, it would be impossible to
take- up j the alack without the
shorter week.
"It would be foolish, however,"
he emphasized, "to, shorten buy
ing power through wage reduc
tions, if the work week is re
duced." Any industry unable to pay a
minimum wage under the law en
acted by congress, . Green said,
has no right to existence." He es
timated the law would "increase
the pay of a million workers.

PRAGUE, Sept.. 21MWednes-&&7-(Jpy-Tixe
British and French
ministers early today delivered a
demarche to President Benes urg
ing most seriously acceptance of
their governments plan for dis
memberment of Czechoslovakia.
The British Minister Sir Basil
Cochrane-Newton and the French
Minister Victor de la Croix called
upon the president shortly before
2 a.m. asking an immediate con
ference after "the Czechoslovak
government yesterday had refus
ed to answer directly yes or no
to French and British proposals
to cede Sudeten districts to Adolf
Hitler. '
Conference Lasts:
Until Small Hours
The president granted the con
ference and it lasted until 3:30
a.m. j
The president immediately
summoned Premier Milan Hodza
who called a meeting of the in
ner council of the cabinet. The
discussions were continuing at
4:45 a.m. (10:45 p.m., EST,
Tuesday) and there was no Indi
cation when the session might
end. ;
It became known ' the French
and British ministers impressed
upon the president that the mat
ter they had to discuss was urge at
and that despite day-long- ses
sions of the ministers they should
be called from their beds for im
mediate consultation.
(Advices . from Paris said the
French and British had presented
Czechoslovakia with a virtual ul
timatum demanding an immediate
yes or no answer to their propos
als. Unless Czechoslovakia con
sented to partition of her Sudeten
areas, it was said, the govern
ments warned her they could not
guarantee the future existence of
the country. They were also said
to have pointed out nazi military
preparations on the Czechoslovak
border.
Arbitration Said
Unacceptable !
(Prague's proposal to refer the
matter to arbitration under hrr
friendship treaty of 1925 with
Germany, was said to have been
declared "absolutely unaccept
able." , ; . . i
(The French and British ftov
ernments were anxious for a def
inite agreement so that Prime
Minister Chamberlain of Britain .
without further delay might lay
it before Hitler at their aeeoed
man-to-man conference at Godes
berg Thursday. The premier al
ready had delayed his second con
ference with Hitler from Wednes
day, when semi-official Berlin an
nouncements previously had -said
the conference would be held.):
The new pressure on Prague
came as newspaper reports told ef
new frontier violations at Weise

Parliament Offers j
Main Objection j
In, quarters close to. the govern

objections to the French-British
proposals to save European peaca
at Hitler's price was the almeet
