 The results of these accidents are listed as follows: Medium property damage. S39; medium personal in- jury, 21; slight property damage, 140; slight personal injury. 120; se- rious property damage, 2S; prop erty damage and personal injury, SO: fatal injuries, [; fatal to dogs, II; damage unknown, 47.
 432 Collisions.
 Involved in these accidents were 43? collisions between cars; nine others involving three or more cars; 1SS pedestrians struck; 27 collisions between automobiles and trolleys; three cases where at least two au- tomobiles struck the same trolley; 26 bicycles struck: six teams struck by autos: 1S animals got into the way of autos and were iolted, most of them fatally; 24 automobiles tried to climb trees posts or fences much to their regret; three got in the way of trains and 59 others were damaged in miscellaneous ways.

WHEELER PROSECUTION
Department of Justice Has Not Made Definite Plans, But Intends to Take Some Action.

Washington, Jan. 22.--Steps not yet fully defined in purpose have . been taken by the department of justicef in connection with the pend- ing indictment against Senator Wheeler of Montana, in his own state, which apparently seek to transfer the entire case here as the scene of the alleged incidents leading 10 the original indictment.
 In re-assembing testimony as to the charge of accepting a fee after his election for appearing before a. government department in connec- tion with oil land leases, on which the indictment against Sen. Wheel CT was returned. the department al- ready has summoned a number of witnesses called in the Montana pro- ceedings. The evidence will be sub mitted to a grand jury in the dis trict of Columbia early in February and there were indications that the scope of the inquiry might be widened.
 Senator wheeler's Associate have received information that he also will be formally summoned. AS to this, however, neither Senator decision that other departments of Justice has had anything 10 say.
