ALBERTA VERY
MUCH WORRIED

Edmonton, Alta, Aug. 23-(UP)
Alarmed by the overwhelming
victory of the social credit party
in yesterdays provincial elections,
bankers and businessmen held hur-
ried conferences to-day to discuss
the possible effects of the party's
radical economic program which
includes a promise to give $25 a
month to each citizen.
With sufficient returns from the
So constituencies available to in
dictate that the social credit party
would control not less than 81
seats in the Alberta legislature,
wealthy residents repeatedly were
withdrawing cash and securities
from banks and transferring them
to Montreal or Toronto.
1t was the first time in Can
adam history that a socialistic
organization has gained control Of
any provincial government.
Liberals were known definitely
to have won two seats, one in Ed
monitor, the other in Calgary. They
helda slight majority in two other
constituencies but the final out
come was uncertain. The con-
servatives and laborites appeared
to have been defeated In every
riding.

Stories of brutal killings, released
in serial form by 21-year old Earl
Cramer to-day sent Placer county
authorities searching for bodies of
two more of the 81 persons he
claims to have slain during the last
four years. Either a colossal liar

he has covered the whole list of

HAPSBURC LOVE
TRAGEDY SECRET
ENDS in GRAVE
Laurenz Lebert, Who
Knew Story, Died in
Vienna on Tuesday

Vienna, Aug. 23.-UP)-The
mystery Of the Hapsburs love
tragedy that shocked European
royalty 46 years ago was carried
to the grave to-day by Police Com
missioner Laurenz Lebert, one Of
the few who knew the answers to
the perplexing question. Lebert
died Tuesday.
Lebert refused to violate the
oath Of secrecy he took that Janu-
airy day of 1889 while on guard at
the Imperial hunting lodge at Mey-
erling where the bodies OF Arch
duke Rudolph and his 17-year old
mistress, Baroness Maria Vetsera
were found.
None Had Authority
Many stories rose to explain the
deaths but none bore sufficient
stamp of authority. SomU said
Rudolph, threatened by disinheri-
lance II he did not break with the
baroness and return to his wife,
kept last tryst at the hunting
lodge, slew her and shot himself.
There were other stories of an
assassination plot to purge the
royal family of scandal, and still
others that the baroness killed
Rudolph then herself.
Tragic Deaths For All
The incident added to the super
stition of the Course of the Haps-
burgs", believed to have foreor-
dained tragic deaths for all men,
bers OF the family. The curse
was supposed to have been pro-
nounced by Countess Carolyn,
whose son was put to death for
participating in the Hungarian up
rising. Empress Elizabeth was
assassinated In Switzerland, Maxi
milan was executed In Mexico, Ru-
dolph was either assassinated or
committed suicide. The Duchess D.
ASncon was burned to death in
Paris and granddaughter Of
Emperor Franz Josef married
against his wishes and the love
ended In the shooting OF her rival,
and Archduke Franz Ferdinand
and his wife were assassinated.

at Robinson.

"Just a minute, Mr.. Tydings,"
interrupted Robinson. II am tes-

party. I don't even know you were
there, but the newspapers said you
were"
"You never saw me at a cock
