TAXICAB HELPS GIRL
DODGE PRISON TERM
Ethel Hallor, 18. After Being
Freed Nearly Collides With
Mother in Machine.

Miss Ethel Hallor. blond. bobbed
haired and IS, the daughter of Mrs.
Annie Hallor, who lives at 407 West
145th street, missed possible detention
or a term at reformatory yesterday
by the length of a taxicab. The girl.
who appeared some time ago in the
Ziegfeld Follies, had just been dismissed
by Magistrate W. Bruce Cobb at the
Essex Market Court, where she ap-
peared to answer to charges OF disorder
ly conduct when Mrs. Hallor arrived
breathless and began to explain, through
her lawyer. Harry $. Hechheimer or
1910 Broadway. that they had been
waiting for an important witness who
failed to appear.
Mrs. Hallor had caused her daugh-
ters arrest for alleged cigarette smok-
ing and having undesirable associates.
The girl, who is stopping with Mr.. and
Mrs Arthur Eagan of Z Fifth avenue,
was in court at 8 o'clock accompanied
by her lawyer, NJ. Fl. Galberg of 14s2
Broadway She waited patiently at
first, but finally became hysterical as
time passed and her case was delayed.
Then Mr.. Galberg asked Magistrate
Cobb to dismiss his client. and the Mag
istrate agreed One minute after she was
free Ethel nearly collided with her
mother, who dashed up In one taxicah
as the daughter started to enter an
other.
When the mother. accompanied by
her son. Ray. saw Ethel she asked at
once what her next step should be- ana
her lawyer suggested that she go over
/ N the Woman'S Court, at Jefferson
Market, and swear to another war;
| rant.
Miss Alice Smith. chief probation of
| ficer at the Womans Court, advised
Mrs. Hallor to take her troubles to the
womens Precinct, in West Thirty
seventh street. but up to closing time
she had not appeared according to
Mrs. Isabelle Goodwin. who was In
charge.
Ethel wept on the arm of her friend
Mrs. Eagan, as she walked out of the
court after her dismissal. She was quite
as indignant as Mr.. Galberg. who
paused long enough to permit his client
to be photographed and TO remark that
he thought the whole thing shame and
| a disgrace.
Mrs Hallor. who Is gray hained and
matronly. protested that she meant to be
kind to her daughter, to save her from
trouble. She insisted that she always
had been too kind to her children and
that had been her mistake. She said
she and her husband. who do not live
here, did not get on very well. and thai
she had once had heated arguments
with her older daughter. Edith. Their;

BO-KOU HAS PLAN
TO BEAT ROULETTE
Visitor Is Peeved Because He
Could Not Play at Monte
Carlo.
GIVES PROOF BY WINNING
Private Demonstration Shows
Success-Important Part of
System Not Revealed.

About the toughest luck in the world
is for man to know how to break the
bank at Monte Carlo and not be able
to get in to play the bank. That is
what has happened to A. Bo-Kou. He
says himself he Is the only person alive
who knows the secret, and simply be-
cause he does the royal bankers refuse
to let him place chip on the turn of
the wheel in the gambling palace.
A. Bo-Kou is really displeased be-
cause he is shut out. And just TO get
even with the Prince of Monaco, who
owns the bank at Monte Carlo, Mr.. Bo-
I(ou has come to New York to tell all
Americas rich men his secret. Either
they will go over and break the bank or
the Prince will get frightened and let
Bo-Kou in to play, and in either case
1t looks dark for the Prince.
He gave little private demonstration
last evening in the Hotel Astor, did Mr..
Bo-Kou. A few theatrical men. news
paper men and a score of Broadway
talent were there. The introductions,
character testimonials by some of his
theatrical friends, and the reading OF
newspaper clippings lasted until after 10
o'clock, and Bo-Kou said, were sufficient
to convince anyone he was not fool or
a swindler.
Working from morning until night FOR
fifteen years, BO-kou Kept TAOS on tne
results of 100000 spins of the wheel.
He has the law of averages down and
gasping He calls it the element OF
probability and possibility in roulette
Applying the results of his life work
to the game, Bo-Kou showed over and
over again that he can beat roulette. He
proved how the system worked, but not
what the system was
Its knowing when to play" explained
Bo-Kou Nobody can ever beat the
game playing every turn. l don't do
that / pick the time when to play and
then play seven times. And l beat the
game four of the seven times year in
and year out"
Are you going to demonstrate the
system on the stage?" was asked.
That was not decided. Bo-Kou might
write a book about his system One
drawback in the system seemed to an
amateur to be that by working day and
night the gambler could make about 25
francs an hour.
Always play thirty numbers" Bo-
Kou explained. Then the bank has
seven against you. Multiply by six when
you lose Start with capital of $40
francs. The bank has one-half chance
the better on every game excepting
mine"
Bo-Kou played his game many times,
each time dropping out different set OF
numbers, and he won his francs on
every seven plays. But how to drop out
the right set of numbers? There's the
secret. Maybe Bo-kou may tell II the
Prince keeps on being exclusive.
