Physicians at the hospital say his condition is critical. It is said by Donatella's niece, at whose house the shooting occurred, that as Donatella's niece, at whose house the shooting occurred, that as Donatella was preparing for bed two men Frank and Angelo Dalo, both Italians, entered the house and shot three times at Donatella, all three bullets entering his head.

Two Dauphin Women Are Crossing Watchers Special to The Evening News DAUPHIN, Sept. 2 - Mrs. Bertha Hawthorne and Miss Jane Bickel today began their duties as "watchman" at the Pennsylvania Railroad crossing, Church and Allegheny streets, which is just another instance of women answering their country's call and thereby releasing men for military service. This is an essential duty because of the danger to the many pedestrians and vehicles that pass daily over the crossing. The work is divided into two "tricks" giving Mrs. Hawthorne and Miss Bickel the same amount of work to perform. PROMINENT MEN AT CAMERON BIER Men prominent in the political and business life of the State and nation, friends and associates of the late United States Senator James Donald Cameron, arrived here today to attend his funeral services at his city residence, Front and State streets, at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The honorary pallbearers include men of national and state-wide prominence and they arrived here today prior to noon. The list of honorary pallbearers announced beforehand included Judge George Gray, of Dover, Del.; Chief Justice J. Hay Brown, of Lancaster; E. R. Coleman and B. Dawson Coleman, of Lebanon; Richard I. Quay, of Pittsburgh; W. D. Hammond, Charles H. Bergner and J. E. Rutherford, of this city. All of the pallbearers were personal friends of the late United States Senator and one-time political leader of Pennsylvania. Judge Gray has a national reputation as a jurist and speaker. Chief Justice Brown is a member of the State Supreme Court and Mr. Quay is a son of the late Senator M. S. Quay, who succeeded Senator Cameron as Republican State leader. All arrangements were completed this morning for the services this afternoon which it was announced would be in charge of Dr. Lewis Seymour Mudge, pastor of the Pine Street Presbyterian Church. The body was brought here at noon from the Senator's late country home at Donegal, Lancaster County, where he spent most of his latter years, accompanied by his immediate family. The burial will be private at the Harrisburg Cemetery. Local Boy, Reported Missing, Is Prisoner The mother of Fred Russell, 1530 Fulton street, was much relieved at having received official word from Adjutant General McClain stating that her son, previously reported missing in action is now a prisoner of war at Langensalza, Germany. Russell was a member of the old Eighth Regiment, National Guard, and served on the Mexican Border. About a year ago he enlisted in Philadelphia and was assigned to Company M, 109th Infantry, which participated in the big offensive on July 15 in France. It was shortly after this that Mrs. Russell received the telegram stating that her son had been reported missing in action. Today she got the news of his being in a German prison camp. HE'S HELPING TO WHIP THE BOCHE PRIVATE GLADFELTER [photo] Private Gladfelter, of this city, now serving with the 109th Machine Gun Battalion writes the following interesting letter to his mother, Mrs. M. Gladfelter, of 273 Herr street, about what the Pennsylvania boys are doing to the Boche "over there." He says: "Dear Mother: - "I have received your most welcomed letters and often think of you and home; but we are too busy to get very home-sick as we have these Huns on the run and it keeps us pretty busy running after them. At first I thought German helmets were hard to get but I find that we can pick up hundreds of them every day on the drive we are now making. I will try to send you one very soon. We have been very lucky so far. We have been shelled by airplanes, artillery and machine guns all at one time but we haven't had a man in our company killed as yet. A few have been gassed and wounded, but are getting along very well now. I was standing about five yards away from two of our mules when a shrapnel shell came along and killed both mules. I figure that I was very lucky for I escaped without being hit. We have had many of the boys reported missing but later they have returned to us alright. We do most of our fighting at night. There are many groups of small woods over here and the Huns stick to them pretty fast as they don't seem to care to meet us in the open. One afternoon a regiment of our division had a bunch of them treed in a woods. We thought it was pretty near time for them to move; so, we took off our shirts and rolled up our under-shirt sleeves, and with fixed bayonets we went after them. As a result we got just what we went after and then 500 prisoners. So, you see, there is not so much to it; it is just the way you go after it. We fought down two planes the other day and we all certainly enjoy shooting at them. We get plenty to eat as well as American made tobacco and candy, and a nice part about it all is, that we have money to buy what ever we want. We are all enjoying good health and there is one thing we want to call the world's attention to and that is this: We Pennsylvania boys started this drive and we are going to be in at the finish, mark my words!" Private Gladfelter has lived in this city all his life. He enlisted in Company D of the old Eighth Regiment on March 23, 1917. When the Eighth was broken up in Camp Hancock, Ga., he was assigned to the 109th Machine Gun Battalion and left with his contingent from there. Halifax Boy in France JOHN J. COOPER [photo] Mr. and Mrs. O. J. Cooper, of Halifax, have received a letter from their son, John J. Cooper, announcing his arrival in France, where he has joined the Pershing forces. He is a member of the Headquarters Company of the 316th Infantry, and formerly was stationed at Camp Meade. ENLISTS IN ZION REGIMENT Morris Swartz, 1610 Penn street, has enlisted in the British Zion Regiment, composed entirely of Jews, who will fight in Palestine. Swartz will leave Thursday for Philadelphia, the headquarters of the recruiting mission to this country. ACTIVITIES IN THE REALM OF SOCIETY AND PERSONAL NOTES OF INTEREST HOSTESS HOUSE INITIAL EVENT IS BIG SUCCESS Success in every way marked the opening of the Hostess House at the Civic Club on Saturday evening, when more than eighty soldiers and sailors registered as guests at the dance in the evening. The hostesses for the evening greeted the boys upon their arrival and after registering their names in the guest book they were introduced to many of the young girls of the city who were invited to help make the evening a gala one. The scene was most gratifying to the members of the Civic Club, who generously made the hostess house a possibility by giving their beautiful club home for the use of the boys, and the general spirit of real fun and informality which prevailed everywhere assured them that their efforts were appreciated to the fullest extent. While some of the boys played cards downstairs the majority ruled upstairs, where a dance was in full swing. "Cookie Jar" a Feature Where Mrs. William Jennings got enough cookies to keep the "Cookie Jar" always full was a mystery, but the feat was accomplished and the inexhaustible supply kept the boys' pockets filled during the entire evening. Mrs. Francis Jordan Hall, of the Canteen Committee, served light refreshments, assisted by Mrs. Walter Gaither, Mrs. Henderson Gilbert, Mrs. Frank Payne, Miss Margaret McClain, Miss Mary Myers and Miss Julia Stamm. Sunday brought many of the boys to the Hostess House for a real rest in the afternoon. While the hostesses were there to see that all the boys were made welcome, the house was at their disposal and in a short time the comfortable chairs and divans were filled with guests pouring over the magazines and newspapers. Sunday Evening Dinner About 6 o'clock the young people invited to help with the entertainment in the evening arrived and while the quiet of the afternoon made a hit the Yanks seemed to enter without reluctance into the plans for the evening, which started with a regular Sunday night supper prepared and served by members of the Canteen Committee, including Mrs. Francis Jordan Hall, Mrs. Philip T. Meredith, Mrs. Walter Gaither, Mrs. John Graham, Mrs. A. W. Greely, Jr., Mrs. Dunbar and Mrs. J. Miley Jones. The menu consisted of potato salad, rolls, cold ham, coffee, cakes and peaches. More than fifty boys were served. Following supper a most informal program was given during which Mrs. Harry G. Keffer told several stories, accompanied by Miss Martha Lawton; Mrs. Roy G. Cox and Mrs. J. G. Sanders sang, accompanied by Frank McCarrell. The soldiers from the Middletown Aviation Depot contributed with real talent in many delightful ways. Mr. McGee gave some popular stories, while Sergeant Melaney in his original way gave some numbers that proved him in no way an amateur at entertaining. Mrs. William Henderson, as president of the Civic Club, spoke to the boys in her usual cordial and delightful way, assuring them of the pleasure the members of the Civic Club are deriving by giving their club house to the boys during their stay here. Mrs. Henderson's hearty welcome brought much applause from the boys. Some of the Guests Present Among the guests at the dance on Saturday evening were: Mrs. Edward F. Dunlap, Mrs. William Henderson, Mrs. John W. Reily, Mrs. William Jennings, Mrs. Henry Gross, Miss Cox, Miss Espy, Mrs. Walter Spofford, Mrs. Francis Jordan Hall, Mrs. Walter Gaither, Mrs. Frank Payne, Mrs. Henderson Gilbert, Mrs. John McCulloch, Mrs. George A.

Kauffman, whose marriage was an event of last Wednesday. The ceremony was performed in the Mulberry Methodist Church at Williamsport, and Charles L. Kauffman, whose marriage was an event of last Wednesday. The ceremony was performed in the Mulberry Methodist church at Williamsport, with a large number of friends and relatives in attendance. The bride's gown was a charming combination of orchid colored georgette and velvet with a hat of the same pastel shades. Her bouquet was an artistic shower arrangement of trench flowers and lavender gladiolas. Mrs. William Steber, who was matron of honor, and Miss K. Haag as bridesmaid were charming in frocks of pink organdie with pink organdie picture hats to harmonize, while arm bouquet of pink roses added an effective touch. The bridegroom was attended by Albert Buckingham Long, of this city, as best man. Preceding the wedding a luncheon was served at the Country Club with the appointments in pink and white. Mr. and Mrs. Kauffman will be at home to their friends at 151 West Main street, Carlisle, after September 15.

Miss Helen McCormick, Philadelphia; Miss Florence Berger and Miss Mildred Berger, Baltimore, are the guests of Miss Martha Trace, 227 West State street. The Misses Ross, Philadelphia, are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. William Jennings at their Summer home near Duncannon. Miss Julia Stamm, 333 South Thirteenth street, is spending the day in Philadelphia. Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Reneker, 338 Boyd street, who have been visiting at Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va., and Washington, have returned home. Not until their arrival at Camp Lee, where they went to visit Mr. Reneker's brother, did they learn of the departure of the Fifty-ninth Division of the National Army of which he was a member. At Cliff Rest Cottage, Stoverdale, a delightful house party of ten days is being enjoyed by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H. Graeff, 125 South Fourteenth street, and Mr. and Mrs. Grover MacKissick. The party left Saturday. Miss Maye Shoemaker, of Chevey Chase, Washington, is the guest of her grandfather, W. H. Shoemaker, 210 South Thirteenth street. Miss Shoemaker is the daughter of E. J.

Mrs. Balsley, aside from being connected with a number of women's clubs of this city, is an active member of the Pennsylvania Railroad Woman's Division, War Relief No. 7. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Balsley regret their departure from the city. Miss Anne U. Wert, 912 North Second street, principal of the Teachers' Training School, has returned from Mt. Gretna. While there at the request of the State Food Administration, Miss Wert spoke at the Teachers' Institute of the City of Lebanon on "Food Conservation, taught Through the Regular School Subjects." Miss Wert has also been asked to give similar talks at Scranton, Williamsport and Wilkes-Barre. The Red Cross Salvage Committee states that there is a good market now for old newspapers and magazines. Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones, chairman of the committee, asks that either the ward leaders or the individuals notify her at once of any that can be secured, and a collector will be sent around. A postal card can be dropped to Mrs. Jones at 105 Locust street, and it is hoped that there will be a response this week from hundreds of people. Get papers and old magazines ready and let the committee know. This form of income should be a steady thing from now until the close of the war, and both Mrs. Jones and the vice-chairman, Mrs. J. Sharon McDonald, are working to this end. If people will save their old papers and give some specified day of the week or month on which they can be called for regularly, the committee will do the rest. Almost every person receives a couple of daily papers and there is no reason why the Red Cross Salvage Committee should not receive from this source several dollars every day. It all depends upon the individuals. If the people of Harrisburg will save their old papers the Committee will attend promptly to their collection and sale. Send it word today if you have some. Mrs. Jones asks the ward leaders to send reports to her promptly in order that collections may be made at once. The goal set for the committee is $10 per day from salvage. The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Harrisburg Polyclinic Hospital will hold its meeting on Tuesday, September 3, at the home of Mrs. John L. Essig, in Dauphin. Train leaves Pennsylvania Railroad station at 11.50 a. m. All members are urgently asked to attend this meeting as important business matters are to be considered.
