RIVER BANK SINKS, BURYING COAL YARD Railroad Along Waterfront at Memphis Tarn Up by 1,000- Foot Subsidence. By the Associated Press. MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 26.—Tons of earth near the Mississippl River bank here sank suddenly late vester- G&y, burying buildings and elevators of the Westside Coal Co. and causing damage estimated at $350,000. The mass, estimated at 10,000,000 cubic feet, sank 50 feet, tumbling everything on it into a twisted mass of wreckage. None of the ground went into the river. A wall of-earth was left along the water front, seemingly cheeking the sink. Trackage of the St. Louls and San Francisco Railroad for several blocks was torn and twisted, and a large Molasses tank belonging to the Happy Feed Mill, fell into the chasm. ‘The sink was 1,000 feet long and mdre than 200 feet wide. One building belonging to the coal company sank, but was not damaged. A filling station in front of the build- Ing and a concrete walk around were undisturbed. Qracks were still forming around the edge of the sink late last night, and indications were that more ground would go into the slide. Cause of the cave-n was not determined. 'CHUTE JUMPER KILLED.

MUSSOLINI ORDERS QUARRELING CEASE All Energy Needed in Econ- omic Battle “of Decisive Im- portance,” He Says. By the Associated Press. ROME, July 26.—A stern order has been {ssued by Premier Mussolini for all the Fascist! in Italy to cease thelir local quarrelings and devote their en- tire energy te aiding the government. in its economic battle. The order, contained in a message to Secretary General Turati, to be de- livered to the' local Fasoisti congresses which are being held throughout the nation during the coming two weeks, is interpreted as expressing the pre- mier's decislop to intervene personally in an attempt to wipe out the troubled situation within the party. “Of Declsive Importance.” “At the local congresses,” the pre- mier teld Signor Turati, ‘‘yeu must say loudly and clearly to all Black Shirts that the great economic battle undertaken by the government is ef decisive importance for the future de- velopment and for the greatness of the regime of the Fascist revolution. “It is absolutely necessary that each Fascist consider himself spirit- ually and practically mobilized. Quar- rels, which are almost always imbecile and of a local transitory character, must cease. ““There must be silence in the ranks. Each Fascist must be a witness and propagator. giving an example of dis- ciplined work in the certainty of vic- tory. He must make the sacrifices neoessary. Firm Hands at Helm, “The government is firmly at the helm, without pause or rest. All Fascists must imitate it, must give the world formidable proef of our will, tenacity and force. I ask the Fascists, above and beyond any clienteles, to carry out Fascism—always Fascism, and nothing but Faselsm.” The message coincides with the ac- tivities of members of the Fascist di- rectorate, who are scouring the coun- try, examining and empting to im- e local condition THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ., MONDAY, JULY 26 1926. “JIANCIENT INDIANS . | The Deadly Fear Once there was a man who carried in his Heart a deadly fear; every place he went and tarried, he was tortured, year by vear. Quite-a roll he had col- lected, all by good . straightforward means; he was honored and respected, he seemed fit ‘to. walk with queens. Yet a deadly fear was his'n, and his breast was charged with woe: he had served a term in prison, in the misty long ago. “If the people ever learn it,” he was thinking, all the time, “they won't grasp my hand—they’ll spurn it, as a thing that's stained by crime, All my pleasant friends who greet me with & smile or merry tale will look sideways when' they meet me, when they know I've been in jall. All my years of high endeavor will forgotten be, I know I'll be shunned by men i forever; for that sin of long ago. Now the people think me speckless, I am held in high esteem, but some day & gossip reekless will arouse them from their dream. They will learn about the fetters. and the unpaid prison chores, 'they will think themsalves my betters, and they’ll shoo me fram their doors.” Fearing thus a dread disaster, he was driven to confess, hoping that the village pastor might assuage his deep dlstress. So he told about his terrors, of his fear that men might find how, in punishment for crrors, he was jailed, some years behind. “My dear fellow,” said the parsen, “all the village knows the truth, how for mayhem, theft or arson you were jugged while yet a youth, It has been acurrent story for long years through- out the town; in your spunk the peo- ple glory—nobly have you lived it down!
