MONTREAL, Sept. II. Tha Lau

fered an overwhelming defeat in the
Canadian election held today. By a
veritable political ' landslide (ha lib
eral majority of 41 waa swept away
and the conservative party aecured
on of the heaviest majorities, up
wards of 60, that any Canadian party
haa ever had. Seven cabinet m In la

Laurter were among the defeated can
didates. The liberals lost ground in prac
tically every province of the domin

conservative party, will shortly be
corne the prime minister of Canada.
He will be supported In parliament by
a working majority of member far
more than ample for hia purpose.

The government defeat means that
the Fleldlng-Knox reciprocity agree
ment, ratified by the American con
greas in extra session, will not be In
troduced when the twelfth parliament
assembles next month,- and that a re
vised basla of trade with the United

relations, wilt not be poalble in ' the
Immediate future. The conservatives
are committed to a policy," of trade
expansion within the empire, and a
closed door against the United' States,

sence of evidence of a motive of any
kind for the killing of Mrs. Mort
S. Childers by ekher her husband or
Robert S.t Kennedy, the two rren
charged with the crime, has been a
serious factor In delaying the inves

next step to be taken by the prosecn

Vnary hearing of Mort Childers, which

While the hubsmd In confined In
jail on suspicion of being conected
with his wife's death, no reason of
his alleged desire to get rid of her haa
been advanced. On the other hand
Kenedy la said by many to have been
a former sweetheart of the, woman
and Jaalousy of (he husband is hinted
a a possible cauae for htm to want

The theory of aulcld a well a
'that of accidental use of the strych-
O' l. also haa been apoken of by
orneys Interested in the case, but
ach theory In turn has been aban
doned as not being borne out by th
known fact In conectlon with Mrs.
Chllder'a death. Another story be
ing circulated In connection with Uie
crime i to th affect that If it ahould
b proved that young Kennedy had
any connectlo with the case, he waa
merely the tool of other parties. So

the court. It 1 admitted1 by all
jeoncarncd that strychnin caused, th
