POOR PITTSBURC
Robbs1iss, Murders and Riot Before and Nov Wild Animals Threaten
 the County
ONE MAN KILLED BY BEAR

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov 26-Deaths and narrow escapes from bears are begin ming to be reported here. Last night a party of hunters arriving from Elk county brought in an account of the death of John Dicht, IS years old, who was killed by bear on Satur- day. Dicht had shot the bear and attempted to bleed it, thinking it dead. The animal, however, was ap- parently only stunned for it arose from the ground and showed fight. In the struggle the bear tore of one of the young mans arms and disem- bowelled him.
 From Tideoute, in Warren county, q thrilling encounter with a large black bear was reported in which the hunter narrowly escaped.
 Henry Bradley of East Pittsburg, who is connected with the Nesting house Electric company, while hunting shot a bear in the flank. Maddened by the pain, the bear rushed toward the hunter and Bradley emptied his repeater at the animal as it descended upon him five of the bullets taking effect, but only tending to increase it's fury. Just as the enraged bear reached him and prepared to strike him down, Bradley threw away his gun which was now useless, and drew his hunt ing knife. Plunging it into the ani- mal's side to the hilt, he reached the heart and the animal dropped dead at his feet. Bradley escaped with a few scratches.

ONE CRUISER INJURED
Aside From This the Journey Homeward From Panama Was
 Uneventful.

Cape Henry. Va. Nov 26.-The battleship Louisiana. having on board President Roosevelt and his party and the conveying cruisers Washing ton and Tennessee, were sighted at 8 a. m. to-day inward bound.
 The Louisiana passed in by the capes at o'clock, followed by the Tennessee. The wireless station here has been advised that the engine of the Washington Is disabled and that she will not reach the capes until about 1 o'clock this afternoon.
 A later dispatch to the wireless station from the Washington said All well on board"
 The Louisiana proceeded up the Chesapeake bay while the Tennessee went into Hampton roads.
 The accident to the Washington was announced by wireless teleg- raphy from the cruiser Tennessee as she took leave of the Louisiana and steamed inward for the roads. The Washington is proceeding for the capes under one engine. The details of her mishap are not explained, but they are not believed to be serious.
 The United States weather observ- CT at Cape Henry announced that the presidents trip homeward was with out accident of any kind other than the breakdown of the Washington, and that the president and party aboard of the Louisiana were well and had experienced pleasant voy- age up from Porto Rico.
 The president and party. including Mrs Roosevelt and maid, Surgeon General Rixey of the navy and Sec retary M. c. Latta, will in all proba- bility reach Washington late this evening on the yacht Mayfiower to which they transfer from the battle ship Louisiana.

DISSIPATION IS ON
 THE INCREASE Annual Report of the Military Secre- tay of the Uuited States
 Army BIG INCREASE THIS YEAR Negro Soldiers Showed a Lower Average Than the Wkite En-
 listed Men.

Washington, Nov 26.-Desertion is on the increase in the United States army. The annual report of the mill tary secretary shows that in the year ended June 30 there were 6,25S deser- tions, or "A for every 100 soldiers in the army. In 1905 the rate of deser- ton was only 6.S and for the three years previous to that time the rate of desertion was only 6.1
 From 1895 to 1904 the average of desertion was only 4.5 per cent. The rate of desertion in 1906 was highest in the field artillery--9.2 per cent. The cavalry was next with 7.S per cent.
 While soldiers showed desertion average of S.4 per cent. while the ne- gro soldiers showed an average of on- ly 2.3 per cent. Twenty-Five per cent of the assertions were in the first three months of the deserters' enlist ment. Ninety per cent of the desert CTS were of native birth, and as 50 per cent of the enlisted men in 1906 were of native birth the rate of de- sertion among natives and foreigners was about the same.
 Of the men who deserted in 1906. S13 have been apprehended and 240 surrendered to the military authori- ties. The total number of deserters convicted of desertion, sentenced to confinement and dishonorably dis charged was CPS.
 The number of assertions" says General Ainsworth, doubtless will be decreased if the military authori- ties themselves cease to exercise the leniency with which they have here tofore treated deserters who have been apprehended and returned to military control"
 Commenting upon the finger print system. which has been adopted by the var department as a means of 'jpsur{ng the detection of fraudulent enlistments and the Identification of deserters with greater ease. Major General Ainsworth, the military in spector, in his annual report, says:
 "The finger prints of an unidenti- fled dead soldier in the field of battle will establish his identity and 'un- known dead on the field should be thing of the past. The finger prints of the former soldiers also will serve as an infallible means of identifca- tion in the many pension and other cases in which it becomes necessary to establish, to the satisfaction of the war department, the interior depart ment. or the treasury department, the identity of the applicants or claim ants with the soldiers who rendered the service on account of which the applications or claims are made"
