IS SERIOUS. NOW
Persian BrigaDds Are Growing BOlder and Russian Forces
 Are Kept Busy
ARE WELL ORGANIZED

St Petersburg, April 22.-The sit uation on the Persian frontier is considered here to be growing more serious despite the check to the Persian brigands April 20 when the Russian forces drove the bandits back with heavy loss. Other noun taineers flocked to the aid of the Shaksevan and the Beglivin tribes against whom the operations are being conducted. Col Konovalosef, the Russian chief of staff of the frontier guard, believes that the struggle will not be terminated un- til the Persians have receivd a lesson like that of 5 years ago when Russian punitive expedition crossed the frontier and killed over thousand tribesmen and com pelled two tribes to sue for peace. The tribesmen mutilate sayagely the wounded Russians that fall into their hands.
 The brigands are well operated and the operators against them consequently are made difficult. The frontier guard is inadequate to cope with the situation and a mili- tary expedition is required to as- sist them. No aid is expected from Persia as the tribesmen neither ac- knowledge nor fear the government at Teheran.

HEAD BLOWN OFF
Well KDoWD Bucks Bill Farmer Killed Himself With a Shot
 Gun To-Day.

One of the most horrible suicides committed in Waterbury in many years took place this morning when Henry B. Root, an aged resident of Bucks Hill, placed a shot gun to his head and blew out his brains. The man has been acting strangely for some time but his wife never dreamed that he was about to take his life.
 Roots head was almost shot off by the charge from the gun. He placed the barrel of the weapon in his mouth and pulled the trigger. It blew the back of his skull right off. When found by his wife he was dead on the floor in a pool of blood as he dropped right in his tracks. MT Root arose as usual this morning and started in on his regu- lar routine of farm work. It was shortly after o'clock that his wife who was still in bed heard the re- port of the gun. Rushing to the part of the house whence the shot came she saw that her husband had taken his life. Stricken with terror she rushed from the house and rar, down to inform the family of Charles Leonard They in turn noti- lied Medical Examiner A. A. Crane.
 MT Root is said to have been in poor health the past year and half and of late has been Respondent. He has been a farmer for years. He nor his wife never visited their much, and very little was known about them. MT Root is sur- vived by his wife and one brother, E. T. Root.

COMMISSIONS
Congress is Going on Record as Being Opposed 10 Any More
 of Them
TARIFF INVESTIGATION

Washington, April 22-Congress is preparing to go on record against the policy of drafting legislation through commissions authorized for that purpose, Three propositions for the establishment of important commissions have been suggested in the present session. The principal one of these commissions is that proposed to investigate tariff condi- tions.
 Alfred c. Vanderbilt. whose ef- fort to revive interest in coaching in England has been so sympatheti- cally raised left London today on the first of series of trial trips over the Brighton road. He was accompanied by small party of friends. A big crowd assembled outside the hotel where big start was made and gave the American a hearty sendoff while the police stopped traffic in Piccadilly in or der to allow the coach to gain free passage. MT Vanderbilt will make his first regular trip on May 4.
 Another commission now in pros pcCI IS ludL DelOTe lH6 mousse III COH- nection with financial legislation and third has been suggested by the National Civic Federation. The last named would provide for general review of legislation affecting capi- tai and labor with the object of sug- gesting amendments to the Sherman antitrust laws, after the manner provided by the Hepburn bill, which was advocated by the president in a special message to congress. The leaders of the senate and house have reached the conclusion that any such bodies organized shall be composed solely of members of congress Con- gress leaders are almost unanimous ly opposed to any commission to sug- gest amendments to the Sherman antitrust laws.
 It was pointed out to-day that lit. tie has been accomplished by the large number of commissions created to suggest legislation, although one exception was that which the preliminary draft of the gold standard law

SETTLEMENT WORK.
W. H. Allen Says $2o,ooO spent on
 Playground Was for Pictures.

Chicago, April 22-WffIian IT.. Aliens blunt assertion that settle ment workers were mostly inefficient and incompetent, coupled with many. other disagreeable declara- tions, has brought an avalanche of denunciations from the settlements on the New York mans head. MT Allen is secretary of the bureau of municipal research of New York. He and his views are indorsed by or ganized charity here. The Social Economists club was told that the charities and philanthropies which directed and misdirecting effort and wasted money.
 As a climax, Miss Rebecca Holmes of the bureau of charities. who ven- tured the opinion that woman suff- rage would cure all the evils point ed out by Mir Allen, was told by the speaker that woman suffrage would simply mean new golden era for confidence men and the perpetua- tion in office of grafters and incom- petents.
 MI AilCh uctidICu tDt DtSE UUSSl- ble results in all lines of social serv- ice are to be attained through the government and not through private agencies, and the best use to which private philanthropy and volunteer efforts at social service could be put would be the aiding of public social service.
 ''I have seen s20.0OO expended on d playground on the roof of a New York settlement house. It was to demonstrate the value of such place to the tenement district, and most of the S20,000 was used in talk ing pictures of it crowded with the half dozen persons it would hold. In the meantime a great municipal playground two blocks square was being built within a stones throw of that roof, and teamsters cut down all the trees that had been planted while the settlement people were absorbed in their own little petty affairs.
 ''I know of another settlement within two blocks of d public bath which could take care of about 3S persons a day. The public balh l could take care of s5,000."

Baron Albert de Rothschild of Vienna, referee in the Anglo-Amer- ican cable chess match for the Newnes trophy, cabled to the Brooklyn Chess club yesterday as follows:
