for dancing, and attempting to
dance, in American style.
First, there will be the neccs-

the dance, and second, the desire

M'ADOO STUDYING
 ISLAND QUESTION
Former Cabinet Member Guest
 Of Barron (. Collier at Ft. Myers

Tampa, Fla, Aug. cs R,-Dis- patches received here today said William c. McAdoo, war cabinet member, is In Fort Myers, the guest of Barron G. Collier. getting first hand information on the Marco Is- land controversy, growing out of dis puted titles to property claimed by both Mir. Collier and a group of old settlers.
 On arrival of Mir McAdoo, at Fort Myers, MT. Collier broke the silence hs had maintained since the contro- yersy began and gave his version of the Island situation.
 Relative to the situation on Mar co Island" he said, the present con- troversy Is simply an outgrowth of an effort that has been made for some time to force me to purchase approximately six acres constituting the major portion of the townsite of Marco at what Is considered an ex- orbitant price,"
 Mr. Collier said that several years ago he refused to purchase the prop erty in question from the original owner, Captain W. D. Collier, be- cause he considered the price too high.
 Since then. he said, he had been approached by the holder of an op- ton. W. G. Williams, on the strip of land and had been asked a price much higher than the first one.
 MT. Williams must surely know" Mir. Collier added, that the pres- dents order issued last year, and be- fore he got into the picture, with drawing all islands and coastal lands from occupation. This makes the at temp to homestead this land in be- half of himself, his brother, his fath- CT and friends from Pennsylvania and New Jersey whom he brought down here, an utter impossibility and absurd on Its face.
 T am sorry that Mir. Williams did not attempt 10 be satisfied with the lands on which he held an option; or if he had ambitions to own more Marco property that he did not buy it. Quite number of old residents own land that Is for sale. l am the largest individual land owner in Col 1 Her county and in Lee and Hendry counties as well. l purchased all of mine from rightful owners and l i have never endeavored by any other way to obtain anyhody's property"
