A Columbia victoria was also sold to D. W. Stroud of Lake street. A fore-door Warren-Detroit was Bold to Frank Barman of Inglewood.

The Halladay Motor Car company reports sales of two Halla ilay 40s to Judge Richards and to a prominent official of the Mexican Pe troleum company. The Inter-State people Tuesday night sold a handsome gray torpedo to H. D. Roe of Pomona.

The car in the first two days has covered 763 miles and used but 5054 gallons of gasoline and eight quarts of oil, which is an exceptionally creditable performance considering the number of stops the ear makes.

Hundreds of advance tickets have been sold, and a record breaking crowd can be looked for. .

Associated Press] LONDON. Dec. 13.—There were for ty-two pollings In the British elections today, but results In only six were an nounced tonight. No change was re corded In these six. The coalitiion, therefore, has one gain to the good. Party feeling continues strong in Cork, where there are conflicts daily between opposiing factions. David Sheeny, M.

No less than one hundred per sons have been surgically treated In the Cork infirmary since the elections began. Eighty were admitted In one night.

R. B. Halldane, secretary of war, spesfking at Gullano tonight, denied that the Liberal party had any covenant or bargain with Redmond, and on being asked what would hap pen if Redmond refused acquiescence in the home rule bill, said It would be much the- worse for Ireland If she re jected the offer. : •-•."■■ The Liberals, he said, could not alter their terms because somebody hap pened to be dissastlsfled. . \ JMutterings of a storm in the Union ist party over, Balfour*s leadership are ''heard'in an editorial in the Morn ing Post, the chief tariff reform organ, which characterizes Balfour's refer endum proposal '■ as unfortunate ana impracticable and inspired by Joseph Chamberlain's enemies. ■ The Post says: "The faction at whose behest a fair chance of victory for tariff reform was thrown away are now worth a hundred votes in a single constituency.

' Metowir died about daybreak at the home of his granddaughter, Mrs. O. A. Pachlto, 310 South Prlchard street. Born In 1795 on what is now the United States Indian reservation at Mesa Grande, in San Diego county, Metowir was a "native son" of the first water. He passed his entire lifetime in California and saw the closing or the eighteenth century, the dawn and passing of the nineteenth and the flit ting of the first cycle of the twentieth century, the greatest to him of them all. Metowir was one of the most notable of the surviving Indians who went through the long and hard struggle against the encroachments of the white man and one of the few -who 'have passed thq century mark living under the-'new civilization imposed by Uncle Sam on the Enervations. Ono of the aged Indian's last acts was to make a great bow and a dozen feathered arrows for his great-grand son, Philip Fachito, 7 years old. Hardly before tho meridian of his life had' been passed, Metowir saw the. civilization of the Spaniards, who brought Christianity and the missions, give way to another race, of whites, who brought only'a lust for gold. SAW lIAI.I.KVS COUHT TWH'K During the course of 115 years he sbw the greatest nation grow up on what vu formerly the rod men's .soil. He saw Halley's comet twice, in 1835 and 1010. He heard echoes of a great struprfile between the whites of tho north and the south over a black race, held in servitude. He saw his own rare, at first the foe, finally become the charge of tho white man, and saw it thrive and prosper on the unique "reservations." Finally, hs the rrowning act of his life, he saw a flying machine circle over Los Angeles. Metowir was living with the Kowh ka.pl tribe near San Diego when the 1 Spanish missionaries arrived early in the nineteenth century. Already chris tened by his tribe as Metowir, meaning "hard fighter," the Spaniards taught him Christianity, translated Metowir to Duro, tho Spanish equivalent of hard, and prefixing Antonio as a Chris tian name, thus equipped him for the new civilization which they brought. "The Indian, however, was not con verted and built many a tepoe tiro to celebrate a victory against the strange new white*, who were flocking in from tho east,in search.of the yellow metal* Mrs. Pachlto says that he told her of inniiy a scalp ha had wrested from the .white Invaders. ■ ,:, Three months ago Metowlr came I" Los Angeles from tim reservation ■at Kan Diego .to visit his granddaughter. Up to a year ago tho aged Indian did active work every day at tho reiervu 11on and quit only .because of an acci dental cut he received on the leg with an ax while cutting wood. « ■ The funeral of Metowir will ho held .it 9 o'clock this morning . from the Sacred Heart church, the Rev. Father (Say officiating. The Los Angeles Un dertaking company of Avenue Twenty one and Pasadena avenue have charge of the funeral.

ON TRAINS 10» LORIMER VERDICT WON'T BE HURRIED Senate Will Act with Becoming Dignity on Whitewash ing Report (Special to The Herald) . WASHINGTON, Dec. 13— The sen ate committee on privileges and elec tions will make no effort to hurry the report of the subcommittee that inves tigated the charges that Senator Wil liam Lorimer of Illinois secured his seat by means of bribery. Chairman Burrows of the committee stated today that no special meeting had been called to receive the report, and that no spe cial meeting would be called. The reg uiar meeting day of the committee is Saturday. That the whitewash administered by the subcommittee in its report will be approved by the committee on privil eges and elections is nut seriously doubted here, the belief being that the report as it comes from the full com mittee will give Senttor Lorimer a clean bill of political health. The senate was virtually forced to make tho inquiry into Lorimer's elec tion by tho sensational confession made by the members of the Illinois legislature that sent Lorimer to the senate. Several members confessed that they had been promised and re ceived money for voting for Lorimer as well as receiving money from the "jackpot" which was maintained to pay for special legislation and to which "the Interests'' contributed, according to their stories. The'name of Lorimer was linked with this "jackpot" Hind In several of the confessions. It was apparent that the senate took up tho investigation of tho charges with reluctance, and, the whitewash- Ing report was a foregone conclusion with those who profess to know the inner workings of art- 'S in the nation al capital. It wan said today that the committee and the senate would wash their hands of the affair as soon as possible without showing any undue haste, and without treading on the toes of any of the members, including the member under investigation.
