By Associated Fret. MADRID, Nov. 15.

Puerta del Sol, the Times Square of Madrid, was dark and deserted to-night except lor heavily' armed patrols; transportations services were at a standstill; the city's food and water supplies were menaced, and martial law appeared an Imminent possibil- ity at the end of two days of labor riots. This day saw brutal fighting In the streets among police and rioters and by noon a general strike had called out street car and subway crews, workers at the power houses water pressmen in the newspaper shops, factory workers and bakers. An emergency cabinet meeting ordered military protection for the light, water, gas and food placed military trucks at the disposal of the police for transportation of bread, posted a soldier guard in the streets, and was believed ready to proclaim martial law the moment it should seem necessary. At least two men have been killed in the i last two days, and possibly four. At least a dozen are seriously wounded, 100 others iess seriously Injured, and 100 or more men have been arrested.

The general strike is due to end on Monday, but meantime, strike headquarters have ordered cafes; bars, theaters and all amusement resorts closed all "day to-morrow. i FIGHTS CRIME BY DEATH PENALTY By Associated C4NTON, Nov. an effort to check a growing crime wave, the Canton municipal government has turned back to the ancient Chinese system of dealing death to all lawbreakers. Burglars, kidnappers, footpads, murderers and all other malefactors with more than two offenses on their records are now paying for their careers with their lives. As soon a convicted they are paraded to the old execution grounds, kept on public view until sundown, and then shot.

This was the system until foreigners taught the Chinese a decade or so ago that a man who only stole should hot be dealt with as harshly as he who killed. The western idea still applied to first and second offenders, but the police said that jail failed to cure In all rases and the old way was the best with habitual criminals. HOLID AY SPIRIT TO BE MANIFEST Every Home is Requested to Have Out Door II-I Iurainated Tree. It, may- seem early to announce that South Bend will again put on special holiday attire this year in the way of outdoor illuminated Christmas' trees. but the subject already is being discussed by 'interested persons so public announcement at this date may not be amiss.

For several years South Bend has made much of 'outdoor Illuminated Christmas trees as a conspicuous holiday In 1925 not more than a dozen illuminated outdoor trees marked the holiday period. In 1926 the number was slightly greater but not until 1927 a concerted effort undertaken to make outdoor illuminated trees general -throighout the city The Tribune adopted the idea that year and presented "it to a responsive public. The result was most gratifying. Interested persons in many parts of the city responded by decorating outdoor trees and by other outdoor decorations, adding greatly to thei holiday spirit. 1928 The Tribune again carried on a campaign for outdoor lllumina-: tibn especially of Christmas trees, and the response was much greater than in the previbus V'year.

Citizens seemed to have a in making South Bend conspicuous for. its true Christmas sentiment and hundreds of trees were illuminated throughout Christmas week. Decorations other than on trees were in evidence and South Bend presented a Very beautiful holiday, appearance. In 1929 The Tribune again requested night decorations and the response! was most generous and in every" section of the Never was the holiday spirit so i -l This year The Tribune repeats its request, urging every home "in the city i to make visible in an outdoor, illuminated Christmas tree its interest In Christmas, Its approval of the holiday spirit and its desire to be of assistance in making South Bend attractive throughout Christmas: week. How many outdoor trees were Illuminated last holidays no one knows but the number probably was in the thousands.

It is hoped it will so in crease this year as to embrace every home in the city. The expense of df coratlng a tree need not be great. The money spent Is an investment as most of the essential equipment may be used in subsequent years. Slick Rales Setups Violate Dry Law By Associated Press. HAMMOND, last, Nov.

I I ROCK! AWAY TO STUDY H. U. Hank Anderson Directs Team; Forcied to Use Regulars to i Pile Up Points. BV JOHN W. STAB I Tribune Sports Editor, Always to be depended upon for, ft slashing, jj interesting ball game, Drake's Bulldogs rewarded some of the! faithful with a sturdy exhibition! out at the stadium Saturday; but the sturdiness of the Des Moines crew was overmatched against the brilliance that is Notre Dame's and the! inevitable result was written in the figures, 28 to 7.

It was riot the most exciting gams of the seven through which the cup-rent Irish team has swept on its devastating course, but neither was it the dullest. As has, lamentably, been the case alt season, the Notre Dame first stringers were needed to provide every bit of the Irish advantage, and thei classic thrusts of the regulars produced many of the thrills. Haniey is New Discovery. Not all, though. Dan Hanley, a rough-riding, highkicking cowboy from Butte, a sophomore making his first start in varsity competition, cuti loose with three scintillating runs, onft of which produced the-first Notre Dame -touchdown; and while the crowd wondered if there was anything ominous in the fact that Jumpin'j Joe Savoldi was entirely withheld from action.

It found considerable consolation in the discovery of Hanley, who "happens to be a new fullback. In the absence of Coach Knute Rockne, took a day off to do some personal scouting duty at the North western-Wisconsin, game. Field Marshal Hunk Anderson directed the team and I was hard put to resist sending jtai the regulars any earlier than he did. Drake's first drive down the field! against the shock troopers reached the four-yard line before being checked by a fumble, else ths shockers'! showing would have been even less encouraging than hereto fore. -Z7-' Regulars Play A Lot.

The regjilars went into action In two sections the whole line, plus Carideo, going in just before the end of the first -quarter, and the other regular backs joining him just before Drake put over her touchdown, in the middle of the second nerlod. They stayed in there, Intact, until the end or tha third quarter, and most of them ware still in action, until after the fourth touchdown was put over' and the game positively, clinched.) Notre Dame's touchdowns, three of them, especially, were of that explosive, sudden-death type that have come to be the trademark of this year's more than" of any other. Hanley1 sprinted 34, yards for his opening salute, Marty Brill scored the second as the direct result of a 72-yard kiqkoff return by Marchy Schwartz; Mulllns split the Drake line for six yards and the third score after a Jerky but uninterrupted march in the third period, and Schwarts broke loose for a 46-yard jaunt to account fori the final touchdown, in th last quarter. Lansrad In Great Drive, Drake's' touchdown came right smack between the first two of Notre Dame's, and was made possible by, one of the finest individual bits of sustained! driving any football field ever saw by Lloyd Lansrud, 153-pound Drake halfback. Starting from his 20ryard line, this heretofore unheralded -mighty midget carried the ball for successive gains of 5, 32 and King tossed a 10 yard pass to Briley, then plugged along for 5, 5, 8 and -4 yards to the Notre Dame eight-yard line.

At this! point Coach Anderson sent In Brill and Hulling to Join the othe regulars, -leaving Mike Koken as the only second-stringer in the game. Marty and! Moon filled In the gaps and stopped Lansrud twice for less than a yard gain, then a nifty re-' verse play, Lansrud to Brewer, with a bullet-like forward pass to King as he dashed out to the left, was completed and King stepped across tha line with a hard-earned touchdown. Statistics Flatter Irish. Notre Dame's superiority Is em-nhasized in the statistics, which show the Irish with 13 first 'downs to Drake's 11. and a net of 343 yards on running plays from scrlrnmage to Drake's 126.

The i Bulldogs were promiscuous with their passes, hurl tag 19, of 5 which eight were completed for some 114 yards, while Notre Dame went Into the air only nine times, completing five tosses for about! 70 yards of gain. These do not Include three underhand chucks from Schwartz to Kosky, behind th line of scrimmage, on which the big Polish left end proved himself a hard-running ball carrier, getting loose twice for gains of 11 and 13 yards.
