Park Commissioner Myrtle P. Hurl-

which his successor will have to con-
tend. All through his administration,
Commissioner Hurlbut has complained
of the lack of sufiicient funds to make
needed improvements In the park ana

that he was connected with the de-
partment, he gained valuable knowi-

"A vast amount of money Will nave

the necessary improvements as we
went along, unfortunately. and the
time is now approaching when 1t Is up
to the city to spent goodly sum OF
money to improve Belle Isle, the
Boulevard and small parks. The city
ought to spend two or three million
dollars on Fairgrounds and additional
park acreage.
"It has been estimated by experts
that every city ought to have at least
one acre OF park for every 100 inhaD-
litants. Detroit has less than 1,loo
acres of parks, iffcluding Belle Isle

CHICAGO, May u2.-Senator AL

quest a number OF Progressive Re
publican leaders came to Chicago fol
a conference on plans for the re-Or
ganixation OF the Republican party
expected to give out at the close OF
the meeting today formal statemen,
of conclusions arrived at by the sen
ators attending.
That this statement will include q
recommendation e. the calling Of a
Republican national convention this
fall was regarded as a certainty to-
day, in spite OF the opposition OF Sen
ator Borah, OF Idaho.
Borah IL understood to be opposed
to the convention plan, on the ground
that the same forces that dominated
the Republican convention last June
would again control. He argued that
the rehabilitation OF the old party
should result from q movement from
the people themselves, grouped about
some definite Issue.
A program committee submitted te
the conferees when they convened to
day. a draft program for adoption. Or
the program committee were Unitec
States Senators Borha and Kenyon
and State Senators James, OF Michi
gan, and Troutman, Of Kansas.

BALKAN PEACE

Friction Between Greece and
Bulgaria Likely to Hold
Up Negotiations

LONDON. May 12.-Following the
arrival in London Of the Turkish
plenipotentiaries for the resumption
OF the Balkan peace negotiations, e
was feared today that friction be-
tween Greco and Bulgaria might de-
lay the meeting. Dispatches from
Sofia indicated that Greeks would try
to postpone the meeting by refusing
to accept the terms Of the treaty dram
made by the ambassadors. while ~
ports from Athens made similar suo'
gestions regarding the Bulgarians.
The mixed commission appointed by
Greece and Bulgaria to settle their
rival claims for Macedonian territQfy
have failed TO agree. The peace sor.
resentatives of none OF the allies have
reached London and therefore ~
definite date for the conference has
been set.

STUDENT PROBABLY
JOY RIDERS VICTIM
This Seems Most Plausible The
ory in Death of Allan
w. Tull

Coroner ]. w. Rothacher is, con-
siderably puzzled over the death OF
Allan W. Tull, senior law student OF
the University Of Michigan. who was
found dying on the car tracks at
Woodward and Connecticut-aves., late
Saturday night, just after leaving the
IsAome Of his fancee, Miss Josephine
Davy, Of No. 80 Connecticut-ave.
That he was struck by an automo-
bile, manned by reckless Joy riders,
is the most likely theory, but 1t Is
also possible that he was slugged,
|;with robbery as the motive.
His roommate, Fred Houston, OF
Darlington. Pa, believes that Tull was
the victim Of thugs. and points out
that he had $40 In cash, In leather
pocketbook presented to him by his
fancee, when he left Ann Arbor.
When searched In. CRAZE hospital,
where he died. early Sunday morn.
Ing, without regaining consciousness,
he had only $1.44 in change, and no
purse.
However, he had valuable gold
watch, and q Masonic charm setwith
= diamond, and the fact that he also
had 31.44 left In his pockets, does not
coincide with the robbery theory.
His coat was torn, but there were
no bruises on his body, according to
Coroner Rothacher, who declares tina;
there 10 depressed fracture Of the
Skull over the right eye. which might
have been made by q blunt instru
ment, or might have been caused by
an automobile.
The crew Of q Woodward car which
nearly ran down the UNCONSCIOUS man
made the discovery Of his plight.
DR.. Daniel Binning, who was imme
dtately called, believed that the youna
man was the victim Of joy-riding auto
lists.
Coroner Rothacher says that the
principal reason for his entertaining q
foul play theory, 10 the fact that the
pocketbook and so. are missing.
