MOTHER JAILS FOUR-YEAR-OLD TO REFORM HIM, EXCITES TOWN ANNAPOLIS, Md. (P) The principal of numerous runaways, four-year-old Roger Perry, has set the whole town by the ears because his mother had him locked in jail overnight. Police Lee Waller reprimanded the mother, Mrs. Dorothy Tardy Perry, Chief of Police Richard Holliday. Mayor WalE.
Quenstedt said he would investigate, and a psychiatrist was retained by Mrs. Perry to study Roger's wanderlust. "You can't use this police station reformatory," was Commissioner Waller's dictum. "Why should not police, like doctors, do preventive work as well as curative?" was Mrs. Perry's rejoinder.
'Roger's father, Lieutenant Perry, has been stationed on the U. Saratoga on the Pacific coast. Last August, in Long Beach, the boy left home at a. m. and was recovered at the police station three hours later.
"After that," Mrs. Perry says, "I tried straps and padlocks to keep him within bounds, but he still eluded restraint. "He had a yard to play in and many toys, but that was not enough. I never whipped him. May this year he ran away three times.
Once Chief of Police Holliday brought him back, dripping wet. He had fallen overboard from a boat. "Then the other day he was rescued from a railroad trestle. He said he was going to walk to New York. "His nursery school teacher advised me to try a fake kidnaping, instead I arranged with Mr.
Holliday to lock him up the next time he ran away. The police found him on an electric car, again headed for New York. "They did not frighten him at the jail, and I saw that he had blankets and a pillow." LO LOCALS Mrs. J. A.
