 Tt was the most narrowing ex- perience, l can imagine, MT. Per ry said. 'The only thing that saved my life was the fact that I was awake when the wreck occurred.
 T was lying in a lower berth when I felt the car suddenly leap the rails and go Jumping over the ties. Then 1 saw water slowly ris- ing on the outside of the double window of my berth. There was scarcely any jolt and I don't believe other passengers in the car were awakened.
 Sank Like Ship at Sea
 T didn't have time to think" he continued. Water was surgine into the car as it sank like a ship going down on an even keel.
 There was only one way out, and took it. Pounding with both fists l managed to break the double win dows Of my section. The water al most swept me back into the car With my eyes closed, I thrust my head through the window and push. cd outward with all the strength ot my legs and feet. I could feel tho force Of the water sweeping over the top of the coach.
 The water held me down ant the current must have carried m. down stream for more than 100 feet My lungs were nearly bursting wher l reached upward and felt some | thing floating. It was a railway ii. and l floated down stream nearly quarter of mile rom the wreck Then I reached shore beneath high bank that had been undermin ed and crumbled down on me whe, tried to scramble up it.
 Saved By Two Porters
 Finally I attracted the attention of two Negro porters who tiet sheets together and pulled me u, the embankment."
 Perry was given emergency treat ment by Mrs. Barbara Zintgraf 0 Los Angeles and Ruth Chamberlai, of Ithaca, N. Y, uninjured passen gers. A motorist brought him tt a Denver hospital. His hands anC arms were iacerated.

ASK LESLIE TO
SIGN BOND BILL
Act Prevents Prepayment of
Assessments.

Prepayment of Barrett law assess
mentS again will be permitted in
Indianapolis unless Governor Harry
G. Leslie approves a bin before him
prohibiting prepayment throughout
the state.
This prospect arose today when it
was learned that in amending the
1927 act prohibiting prepayment
here to provide certain appeal pro-
visions, the legislature inadvertently
re-enacted that section of an earlier
statute permitting prepayment,
Governor Leslie approved this
measure Feb. %.
But prepayment will be prevented
if Governor Leslie signs the Noll
bill now before him. This measure
requires interest to continue on Bar
rett law bonds until redeemed and
greater effort to collect these as
sessments by the county treasurer.
Consequently, deficit is created,
for there is loss of interest cal
culated to meet premiums on the
bonds.
Representative Frank ]. Noll of
Indianapolis, conferred with Attor-
ney- General James NJ Ogden to-
day, urging him to aequaint Gov
ernor Leslie with the necessity of
approving his bill. The attorney
general has recommended approval.
The Noll bill would make the pro-
hibition against prepayment state
wide.
