DR.. c. H. MAYO IMPROVES STATEN ISLAND EXCITED
Attack on Telephone Operator
Frightens Citizens.
MANY GIRLS LEAVE WORK
Others Are Accompanied from
Exchanges by Relatives-As-
sailant Still at Large.

Miss Anna Kellar the young Staten ISL
and telephone operator who was struck
down by a thug as she was on her way
home from the New Brighton exchange
early Saturday evening, lay in semi
conscious condition all day yesterday at
the s. r. Smith Infrmary, and late last
night the physicians had not changed their
opinion Of the fatal nature of the girls
wounds.
To aid the police in their efforts Of the
previous twelve hours Detective Sergeant
John Smith went TO the hospital early
yesterday morning and succeeded in hav-
ing a short talk with Miss Kelar She re-
peated her assertion that she had no
enemies and believed the attack upon her
was inspired by motives Of robbery and
nothing else. Although Sergeant Smith
asked only a few questions, the girl
tainted from pain before she had uttered
a half dozen sentences, and again relapsed
into Inconsistencies. from which she did
not recover till late last evening.
The measures of precaution taken by the
police against the escape Of Miss Kellar's
assailant after a general alarm had been
sent out were redoubled yesterday and last
night Every ferry was watched; the
North Shore section. where many strike
breakers and 'hoboes" have been living
recently, was searched. and Sergeant
Smith and ten men made a house-to-house
search Of certain parts Of the island The
police plan to keep a sharp watch on the
St George ferry during the forenoon to-
day and arrest any suspicious persons who
may be hanging around there.
The assault upon Miss Kellar has raised
excitement to a tremendous pitch In all
parts of the island. and several Of the
young girls who are employed i'm the tele-
phone exchanges have been compelled by
their parents to leave their work tempo
rarily At the New Dorp, TompkinsVllle
and West New Brighton exchanges hardly
q girl left work last evening unless she
was accompanied by parents or friends.
The police believe If the short, thickset
man described by Miss Kellar is still on
the island he will be under arrest within
the next twcnty-four hours.

The condition of Senator Thomas Francis
