Special Dispatch to The star.
ANNAPOLIS, Nd, June 22.-Mrs'
Dorothy Tardy Perry, who recently
punished her 4-year-old son by having
him locked in a cell at the jail mere,
TODAY described Police Commissioner
walters criticism of her act as ''po-
litical move"
Commissioner walters motive, said
Mrs. Perry, wife of Lieut.. Roger Perry
u. S. N, is to gain publicity Tor the
law which he had passed by the Legls-
lature in January making him Annap-
oils first police commissioner.
The commissioner, according 10 MrS.
Perry. used his own influence to have
the law enacted and then suggested
himself for the new position.
In criticizing her punishment OF her
son, Mrs Perry continued, Commission
er Waller has seized minor incident
which he is using to exploit his infiu-
ence and power"
clared, Commissioner Waller knew OF
nv intention before Roger was locked
up, but it wasn't until after 1t was all
over that he reprimanded me.
Charges Speech Was Rude.
The reprimand, Mrs. Perry said, con-
sisted of four sentences, spoken IN
such a rude manner that had to leave
the police station in order to keep con-
troll of my temper"
Mrs. Perry expressed the hope that
Commissioner Waller will 'see his name
IN headlines as big as he wishes"
Being a former newspaper woman,
however" she added, II know the in
cident is receiving more notice than II
deserves"
Mrs. Perry, who wrote an explanatory
article for The Sunday Star, showed
many letters which she has received
some scolding her, others threatening
her.
One of the epistles was from Wash
inston fortune teller, who predicted
Rogers "ruination" and his mothers
death within a short time.
Another letter was from couple
who offered to adopt the boy If his
mother would pay them Sl2 week Tor
his board Still another was from
character education" school in Chevy
Chase, advising Mrs. Perry how to train
her son.
Parents Misunderstood"
The trouble with Roger, Mrs. Perry
said. is that he "misunderstands his
parents efforts to correct him" The
other day, she added, she asked him
what she should do to make MIN pc
have, and he replied, L guess the
Within the next few days, Mrs. Perry
said. Roger will be taken to the Phipps
Psychiatric Clinic, Johns Hopkins Hos
pital, Baltimore, where he will be ex-
amined by DR.. Esther Richards.
The latter has issued statement
in which she said Roger already Is
under her care, the record OF his case
having been forwarded to her for study.
The fact Roger cried during his in
generation does not necessarily prove
his experience will have any permanent
deleterious effect on him, DR.. Richards
declared.
Naturally, wouldn't recommend
such drastic measures" the doctor said,
'but then neither the boys mother
nor the Annapolis police are pSychiat-
rists"
Rogers behavior, DR.. Richards added,
apparently is due to maladjustment be-
tween him and his mother"

1872 Whiskers and Pigtails Debated
BLOOM SPLIT CONSTITUTION CUSTOMS

w WHILE the Navy was conceding
today that sailors of 1912
NM did not wear whiskers, but
was adding o new complica-
ton in the. assertion that
they did wear pigtails. the proposal of
the George Washington Blcentennial
Commission that the restored frigate
Constitution Sail under her own power
and with crew in ancient garb re-
ceived definite support of Capt Fred
erick C. Melville. skipper of Admiral
Byrd'S sailing ship, the City OF New
York.
Capt. Melville wired Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy Jahncke that he would
be glad to sail the Constitution for the
Navy If no mariners could be found in
the naval service who are qualified to
handle sailing vessel.
Impracticability Feared.
Capt. Melville was prompted TO make
the offer upon reading news dispatches
quoting Mr. Jahncke as expressing the
belief it would be impracticable to sail
the old ship without the aid of tug.
Mr.. Jahncke had expressed doubt that
enough men able to sail before the mast
could be found to man the frigate.
Representative Sol Bloom. associate
director of the Bicentennial Commits
sion. also received several .communica-
tions today from old salts who are will
ing to organize a crew capable OF sailing
the Constitution.
No PigtaiIs or WhiSkers.
Mr.. Bloom, who spiked Mr.. Jahncke's
contention that it would be necessary
for the crew to start growing whiskers
If they would hope to look like the
sailors of 1912, today took issue with
the new Navy claim that pigtatls would
have to be grown.
The pigtails. consisting of hair plated
down the back. are shown on pictures
preserved in the division of records of
the Navy Department. The same pic
lures corroborate Mr.. Blooms assertion
that whiskers were not a part Of the
uniform of the sailors Of that period.
Artists Unreliable.
"I don't care what the pictures at
the Navy Department show" Mr.. Bloom
declared. "Pigtgails went out of style
during the French revolution, in 1889.
The pictures cannot be authentic, any
way. There were no photographers in
those days, and artists are not to be
relied upon"
The pictures at the Navy Department
also show that shoes and stockings
were not a part Of the seamen's uni
form. Bare feet prevailed among the
men. but officers were logged out to
the limit OF Sartorial elegance.

Beacons to Be Reduced as Means of Preserving

Two faces of the washington Monu-

to aviatcrs, so that the stately shaft
will not look like a round smoke stack

This was explained today by First

of public buildings and public parks,
who had before him the result Of ex-
periments that have been conducted
for the past several weeks. The last
