day set for Looneys execution. The
Court of Appeals granted writ OF
error. This writ. it is understood, was
granted on the plea that when the
prisoners case came to trial that
jurors were improperly impaneled,
Looney was taken back TO New
Castle, where he was given new
hearing. His attorneys pleaded In
sanity, and Judge Anderson called in
a lunacy commission to examine the

JAPANESE ARMS
FOUND IN MEXICO
This Discovery Leads Wilson
to Serious Thought of Rails
ing Embargo.
Huerta's Every Effort to Please
Japan. Feared That Procla-
nation May Aggravate Deli
cate Situation.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2T.--Some def
mite light was shed today upon new
phase of the Mexican situation that is
CAUSING great concern ,5f'ic' ala IN
Washington. 1t relates to japanese
activity in Mexico.
The information which has come to
this government is to the effect that
Huerta has been obtaining his supply
of arms recently from Japanese
sources. The rifles whicn he had been
getting are. il is said, those which were
used in the Japanese war with Russia.
1t is understood that the Information
which officials of this government have
obtained indicates that the supply of
arms came from the Japanese govern
ment itself, but many in Washington
hesitate to credit this report and are
hopeful that the Information is mac
curate. othcials however, who have
had access to the information intimate
that the evidence is strong.
1t was reported some time ago that
rifles used by the Japanese army were
being sold, but it was said that the
selling was to private corporations or
individuals in Japan.
There were reports that the Mexican
rebels were trying to obtain some or
them. Whether or not the report is
true that some of these arms were OBJ
tanned by Huerta direct from the
Japanese government, the Iact tnat
they have found their way into the
hands of the dictator's soldiers is in
itself significant.
In this connection, other recent de-
ycioprents are now being recalled .,ere.
At present the city Of Mexico Is honor
ing the officers OF the Japanese battle
ship Idzuoma.
Apparently il Is the knowledge that
Huerta has been receiving a supply OF
arms from outside sources. which has
brought Wilson around to the view that
the present embargo against shipments
of arms across the American border in
to Mexico ought to be raised.
Members of congress. who are fami-
liar now with President Wilson's views
expect him within day or two to
issue proclamation removing the bar
rier against the flow of arms and am
munition across the Rio Grande river
into Mexico.
Some cf the senators feared the i'm
preston which might go out to the
world as result OF proclamation
lifting the embargo. They believe
that there will be danger of the rest OF
the world jumping at the conclusion
that the United states on the one side
is supporting CarranZa and his follow
ers and Japan the other. Huerta, and
his men Members of the senate conf
mittee realize that such an impression
would be most unfortunate and might
result In aggrayating a situation that
already is delicate.

BRUMBAUGH WILL
SWEEP THE STATE
Figures Show the Strength of the
Philadelphian in the Recent
Primary Fight

DIR. Martin G. Brumbaugh, though
one of the four candidates for the Re-
publican nomination for Governor,
polled nearly four-fffths of the total
Republican vote at the May primaries,
and although his campaign was car
ried on by his personal friend and
without an organization back of him,
he had only 10000 fewer votes than
were cast for William Howard Taft
for President in Pennsylvania in 1912
at a general election when the Repub-
lican organization exerted its tremen-
dous power to the limit to get out
every vote.
This fact points clearly to the re-
turn of voters to the Republican fold.
While there were 273,360 votes for
Taft in 1912, there were S20.os7 for all
the candidates for the Republican
nomination for Governor last May, of
which 253,7SS were cast for DR..
Brumbaugh. The three opponents of
DR.. Brumbaugh for the nomination
received 5000 votes.
The result of the primaries assures
the election of DR.. Brumbaugh in No
vember. He will conduct a vigorous
campaign, during which he will enter
and speak in every county and meet
personally as many of the voters as
possible.
DR.. Brumbaugh's vote on the Re-
publican ticket in the whole State at
the primary election exceeds by 4,54S
the combined votes of William Draper
Lewis, the Washington party nominee:
Vance c. Mccormick, nominated by

Planning Commission
Sets Precedent For
Streets in Suburbs

Wider thoroughfares, no alleys ex-
cept where absolutely essential, greater
space between building and street
lines-these are a few of the prece-
dents set down for the development Of
Harrisburg's future suburban sections
by the City Planning Commission In
passing upon the proposed Farmlyn
and Harris building plots last even
ing.
Harrisburg's first planning commits
sion real man-sized work last night
until late hour considering the first
two plots ever submitted to it in an
official capacity
Farmlyn, the big sixty-acre stretch
east of the city beyond the Colonial
Country Club and Just within the g.
mile limit was one OF the plans sub
mitted. 1t was not approved pending
reference to the developers with sug-
gestions that the 50-foot streets be
widened to sixty, that alleys be reduc-
ed from twenty to not more than ten
feet-enti then to be laid out only
where absolutely necessary for pas
sage of garbage wagons, ETC., and that
the house line be at least ten feet back
from the street line. This latter rec
ommendation 1t is. understood was so
well received that the Farmlyn owners
agreed to make fifteen feet the basis
One of the largest roads through the
lot will be Prince street and ii, by
the way will be an avenue eighty feet
wide. 1t is now seventy feet on the
plot.
AS for the Rev. w. S. Harris section
just south of the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad-the planning COM
mission rejected this with suggestions
that the streets be widened to at least
forty feet, and in most instances fifty
