 Dimon
By Associated Press

Columbus, Ca, May e2.--An anony- nous letter and post card, signed TX. K. K.," referring to the bemb eX- plosion at the home of Mayor J.. Homer Dixon early Sunday morning as "our last warning" and demanding that you and Hinkle go at once" were received by the mayor today. Hinkle referred to in the letter is City Manager II. Gordon Hinkle, who was attacked month ago on one of the principal streets of this city.
 Tn an anonymous letter received by the mayor at that time the resignation of the mayor and city manager were demanded.
 Rewards totaling s10,ooo were of- fered today by the city and county commissioners for evidence to convict the person or persons guilty of plac- ing the explosive on Mayor Dimon's porch Sunday, and a mass meeting has been called for Tuesday night to formulate plans for experimenting tine bomb plotters.
 The text of the letter received by the mayor today read.
 We asked you to fire that -, and you did not do it, You see what We are going to do to you. We will get you both if you don't fire him at once. This is our last warning It will be too late for you when you find put who we are. Act at once"
 The following was contained on the postal card:
 This was merely warning. We will get you next time. Damn your s1O,o0o. You may offer million dol lars and still not get Us. You and Hinkle must go, and go at once. This Is your last warning. k. K. K"
 In a statement issued tonight by Dr. w. F. Whitehead, B reputed leader of the Ku Klux Klan, he denied that the Klan had any knowledge of the post card received by the mayor to- day, and said that local organizations stand squarely behind the officials for law and order.

 Madeira is the chief island of the Madeira group. which lie about 400 miles west of Morocco. Of the az gregate area of the group about 315 square miles. all save D miles is comprised in the main island. and practically all of the 170.000 inhabi- tants reside there. The island is ac counted one of the most beautiful volcano-f formed peaks in any ocean, and it's scenery is on magnificent scale out of proportion to the size of the tract. One ridge rises to more than 6,500 feet, one valley especially Curral das Freiras has the Iuxu- riance and charm more to be expect ed upon Tamiti or the Marquesas.

 'The wine that made Madeira fla nous still constitutes it's staple in- dustry, but the annual output has shrunl1 to a fourth it's former bulk. Once 1t was in demand at fabulous prices. and tales still are told of how American clippers carried 1t around the Horn and back again to age if. In the JOS of the past century vin4 disease wrought havoc before 1t was checked, then physicians declared that Madeira was peculiarly con- duciye to gout, the war practically cut out one of the worlds most cos mepolitan island ports from commit nication, and the eighteenth amend ment robbed Madeira of an important market. Visitors still may see the natives carrying this wine to cellars in huge skins slung over their shoulders, and the primitive wine press is used in its making.

all kinds of wood can be seasoned
rapidly and efficiently by means Of

j. B. Wilson Comes to Study
Business Methods and
Happy Jazz Spirit to Take
Back to London.
ny The Associated Press.)

New York, April Ell. B. Will
son, pep-ful son of ]. Havelock
Wilson, British M. p, and LABOR
leader. let it be known today that
one of the prime purposes OF his
present visit to America is to coli
lect some ideas on American busi-
ness methods and general happy
jazz" spirit to take back to pant
ing London.
Were doing every in our pow
err Just at present to Americanize
London" he said with an Ameri-
canized wink. mot only is the
brighter London society--which is
composed Of London's best society
folk, lords, ladies and the leading
business men--doing all in its
power to put more pep into the
English, but the people themselves
are aping American ways.
ITO begin with, Londoners are
wearing American clothes, Ameri-
can shoes, silk underwear and
everything bearing American
trademarks. l must admit that
the English have been wearing
American shoes for some time. but
silk socks are something new to
the average Englishman. Indeed,
a few months ago an Englishman
who wore silk socks was looked
upon as a dude, sort of doll boy,
but now in the spirit Of being typi-
cally American every Englishman
of standing is DOMINIC silk hosiery
and saying a bit embarrassedly
my word, I feel like silly ass.
English women no longer desire
linen and muslin underclothes but
glory in their new silk lingeries-
'teddies,' boomers, camisoles and
the rest. They want soft, silky
things like the New York girls
wear--things that give the figure
the proper lines, for they ore cast
ing aside tweeds and going in for
more feminine clothes.
I'VE are speeding up in every
thing in London and trying to get
a little New York pep into us.
Dancing used to stop at IL
o'clock in the best hotels. such as
the Ritz, Savoy, Claridge and Carl
ton, but now goes on until g. And,
mind you, the very best people.
The craze for American dance
music has spread all over Lon
don"
In fact there are only about
three Americanisms that London
doesn't care about aping, he said
with a winning smile-"American
prices, American prohibition and
American crime waves"
