S. Bounty way back in the time of King George III and ended his days In exile on a lonely South Sea Island, is a patient at University Hospital. He is Archie McLiver, 51 years old, of Benton Harbor, who Is convalescing from a minor operation. The exploits of Fletcher Christian and Capt. Bligh have risen to recent fame in historical novels by James Norman Hall and Charles Nordhoff, and have been exemplified in talking pictures by Clark Gable and Charles Laughton.

Chris tian led a mutiny against tha cruelly strict skipper on His Majestys merchant vessel, the Bounty, then with a crew of mutineers who took Tahitlan wives. took refuge on Pltcalrn's Island to escape a' certain gallows party if they were caught. Dissension and slaughter reduced their ranks to one white man and several native women, but not until more than a score of progeny had been born. The surviving mutineer told the story to the officers of an American vessel, the first to stop at the island, after the Nineteenth Century was well under way. McLiver relates that his mother was the great-granddaughter of Fletcher Christian, and migrated from Pltcalrn's Island to Norfolk Island in 1856 when her birthplace would no longer support Its grow ing population.

She grew to woman hood on NorlolK island ana married Cpt. John McLiver, master of a whaling ship, McIJver's most cherished posses sion is an inkwell taken from the Bounty, and handed down through the generations.

Uni versity of Michigan astronomer, said Tuesday that preliminary cal culations he has made Indicate the baby planet" discovered Feb. 12 by the Uccle Observatory in Belgium is the most eccentrla trav eler of the 1,300 known asteroids or minor planets. The newly found asteroid, known as the Delporte Object, recently has been the earth's nearest neighbor in space with the exception of the moon. It is believed to be not more than a half mile in diameter and to weight approximately 000.000 tons. When the planet, first was dis covered photographically, Its dis tance from the earth was estimated at 6,000,000 miles.

Dr. Maxwell said, but it appears to have come as close to the earth as 1,200,000 miles on Feb. 7. He said his calculations are based on Belgian observations three successive nights after its discovery indicated the asteroid approaches closer to the sun than any other known body, except the planet mercury, with the shortest radius of its ellipitical orbit being 45.000,000 miles. Dr.

Maxwell said Its wanderings In the solar system probably will take the newly found planet beyond the orbit of Mars. The scientist estimated the as teroid would require a year and nine months to complete its orbit and that it might be a century before it again approaches So near to the earth. It has not been observed at Ann Arbor, being the smallest of the heavenly bodies save meteorites.

Hurriedly he re-entered the house and awakened his wife, their two children, Lois, eight years old, and Dorothy, six, and Mrs. Rozak's sister, Miss Florence Mapes. After they had gone to a neighbor's house, investigation showed the Rozak home had been filling with gas seeping up through the ground from a broken main.

CLARA WANDA S1SSON, of Ann Arbor, a senior in the of Michigan School of Music, la soloist with the Michigan I'nlon orchestra, a a Deer in the Corn LANSING -Th trouble with deer is that they've got no more diplomacy than a wild animal. And the trouble with putting deer In counties where the deer population has' been killed off by hunters is that after a county gets some deer the farmers don't like It. In fact to get to the point-it's astonishing how much corn a deer can eat if he's good and hungry.

Dan Seullln. who has a farm near Oak Grove in Livingston County, handed a bill for $100 to Harry D. Ruhl, head of the game division of the Conservation Department. He felt resentful, Scullin said, because 39 deer made his cornfield Into a free lunch counter. Thev ruined half the shocks that he stacked last fall, and that was a lot of corn gone.

It's a four-acre cornfield. Scullin doesn't mind letting a famished deer have a handout occasionally, but what gets him is this: The deer will tramp right through fields on other farms and hardly bother to stop for a snack. When they reach his field, thev ail start eating like relatives from the city. It may, of course, be a compliment to Scullin for the grade of corn he raises, but there's no profit in compliments from a herd of 39 deer. Ruhl says, "These deer aren't diplomatic.

They overdo a good thing. Now If they went separately to neighboring fields and ate their meals, would receive no complaints." In Shiawassee and Livingston Counties "there are from 300 to 400 deer, planted there about IS years ago. They are In closed- season territory, and the open country lets them thrive. Shooting them, Ruhl says, seems to be the only way to control them. Wrong Beverage PONTIAP Drink wine.

H. Muyskena of the University of Michigan at Horatio Abbott, of Ann Arbor, national com mitteeman, at a district banquet here Monday night. The state party was well repre sented at the speakers' table and all had gone in a harmonious man ner until the toastmaster called on Prof. Muyskens to peak. The Ann Arbor educator started drawing a parallel between the Ark of the Covenant and the constitution, the Philistines and the Israelites, when suddenly he burst forth with: "There can be no harmony In our ranks if we cover up and soft soap the difficulties that lie within our ranKs.

1 do noi tine me tactics of our national committeeman, placing benefits and patronage above principle. Mr. Abbott Is a traitor In our ranks. And I understand that our Governor also Is going back home." The nroressor was stopped Dy tne cheering, but he went on to conclude by urging Abbott and others of "our aged men or tne party to move back into the ranks and give their place to younger men," such as Van Wagoner, Schroeder and Canfield." Committeeman Abbott leaped to his feet, his face crimson. 'I will place my record In Democracy against his any time, and see who has rendered the most service," he shouted.

His words were greeted with mingled cheers and hisses. Prof. Muyskens attempted to re tort, but the floor was given to Norman Snyder, of Detroit, former member of the State Public Utilities Commission. 'I want to make a reply In the name of Bill Comstock," shouted Snyder. "I happen to be an Israelite.

When he (Muyskens) compares him with men like Lacy, my blood tingles and 'Sit down: bhut up: screamed a hundred voices. Party leaders sat mute. But Snyder went no further, and order was restored. Except for a brief attack by Claude S. Carney, of Kalamazoo, Bgainst Dr.

William Haber, State Welfare director, the rest of the meeting was confined to praising the Roosevelt Administration and girding for the fall campaign behind him. 'We must ged rid of Haber as quickly as possible," said Carney. "He is an enemy of our party." Pleas for -unity were ottered by most of the speakers, who included John W.

"Who is this Mr.

Hook?" asked Chief Justice Potter Tuesday. "I do not know him. They tell me he Is a representative in Congress. I see no reason why he should attack me.

Legal Car Search Defined by Judge Game Law Violation Case Dismissed MARQUETTE, Feb. 25 (A. Conservation officers must have definite Information or reasonable grounds for suspicion of game-law violation before searching an automobile; otherwise they cannot use evidence obtained in a search to convict an alleged violator, according to an opinion given In Circuit Court here Monday by Judge Frank A. Bell, of Negaunee. The opinion, believed to be the first of its kind in a game law violation case In Michigan, was handed down in the case of Louis Mohrman, of Marquette, who had appealed from the verdict of a Negaunee Municipal Court 'jury which convicted him last January on a charge of possession of Illegal venison.

Judge Bell granted the motion of Mohrman's attorney, Joseph Kue-ber, for dismissal of the case. He quoted from a ruling of United States Supreme Court Justice Stone, made before he was named to that tribunal, with regard to search and seizure in a liquor law case. "It Is unfortunate, as Justice Stone said, that these offenses could be committed," Judge Bell asserted. It la sometimes hard to get evidence of these offenses, and yet, as Justice Stone said, the constitutional exemption from unreasonable search and seizure Is just as Important as the law which may have been violated."
