MAN IS IDENTIFIED
AS GUNMAN WHO
SHOT At UNION TRIO
George MacSuAen identified
by One of Three Officials
Fired on Last May.
THREE SUSPECTS SIGN
STATEMENTS ON "PLoT"
Prisoner Denies Implication in
Earlier Case, but Admits Scheme
Against HAIRY.

George MacSullen, ~. one of FIVE
persons held in connection with an al
legged plot to assaSsinate Charles z.
Haury, supervisor of the International
Union Of Operating Engineers, was
identified today as the gunman who
attempted to kill three other officials
Of the organization last May.
MacSullen, who said he came here
from Chicago recently, was picked from
a lineup at police headquarters by
John PoSsehl, president of the union
and, police say, one of the intended
victims of the first plot. Possehl, ac-
companied by another official Of the
organization, came here from New York
to view the lineup.
MacSullen, who previously had been
viewed by three other witnesses, who
said he reSembled the man, denied
being the gunman who fired upon Pos
Sefl, Frank Langdon, editor of the
unions official organ, and the late
Arthur NJ Huddell, PoSsehl's predeces-
sor, as they sat in a restaurant across
the street from the organizations head
quarters at Tenth and K streets. After
being identified by PoSSehl, MacSullen
signed a written statement in which he
admitted concocting the scheme to put
Haury ION the spot" Signed state
mentS also were obtained from two of
the other alleged plotters, Ed johnson,
SO, OF the 900 block of Grant place, and
Burt w. Carpenter, Al. of the 1900
block of Seventeenth street.
NouIS,X WL--4ss- ~
Langdon, whose eye was put out by
the bullets fired at him and the two
other union officials, also viewed the
lineup. He was not asked to identify
MacSullen, however.
The others held in connection with
the alleged scheme are Walter Reed.
26, of the 200 block of A street south
east, and Mrs. Kaye Reed, IS.
Charges TO Be Filed Today.
The statements which are said to be
essentially the same were obtained by
Detective Sergts. A. d. Mansfield and
Jerry Flaherty, who questioned all the
alleged plotterS until after 8 o'clock
this morning. In them, johnson and
Carpenter are said to have acknowl-
edged their parts in the alleged scheme
and implicated the others.
No charge has been placed against
any of those held, but Mansfield said
count Of conspiracy to murder probably
will be filed against them today.
The alleged plotters were arrested
Thursday night after the police had
gathered evidence against them by
means of a dictaphone secretly in
stalled In the house in which they met.

CATHOLIC INVITATION
REJECTED BY ADVENTISTS

BY the Associated Press.
The invitation of Pope Plus for
Protestants to return to the Roman
Catholic faith has been turned down by
the Executive Committee of the General
Conference of Seyenth-day Adventists.
In resolutions made public today, the
committee called attention to differences
in doctrine between the two churches
and added: t..-.
1T is perfectly apparent, even to the
casual reader, that it would be just as
impossible for us to become members Of
the Roman Church as it would be for
the Pope to become member of our
church, inasmuch as our doctrines are
so absolutely at variance.
I'VE cannot accept call for unity
which involves the violation Of our con-
scientious convictions concerning the
truth Of the Gospel"

Fear Drives Man to Police

Fear, lasting nine years, that police
we're pursuing him, was too much for
lila, an escaped convict, and he sur
rendered to the police in Belgrade
Jugoslavia. He had escaped after serv-
ing II months of a ten-years' sentence
fer having killed the father OF a girl
whom his family had tried to make
him marry. Always fearing re-arrest,
he fed from job to job and from place
to place. Police have found since his
surrender that his record has been ex-
cellent since his escape. Authorities
have remitted the remainder of Ilija's
sentence, and he has been released

EASTERN, which is cunning for its

base ball championship, is of on

won its first game yesterday, to 4,
over Tech, but observers are not so
sanguine as to the Lincoln Parkers

Coach Guyon's boys were given the
biggest kind of scare by Tech and until
the late stages it appeared that one of
the biggest upSets in schoolboy athletics
here in years was to be recorded. Tech,

the series, and already beaten by Busi

" tition again today, the

Mcnamara and LeGrand clouted the
ball for N. Y. u, the former getting

around short was good. 1t might be
mentioned that in LeGrands three hits
there was triple and in McNamara's
four a homer. Kings play at third
and batting were the leading factors for
Georgetown.
Georgetown pitchers could not stop

associations forming, and
more talk about senior golf
this year than ever before around
Washington, it is only natural that some
club house wag should sit down and fig
ure out winning combination from one
club which he is willing to pit against
a combination of four men of similar
years. But in this case the team Of four
golfers from Columbia which many
members of the Columbia Club believe
would enjoy success against any four
man combination from any other club
around the Capital is a composite
choice, made by several men.
And it is a good combination of senior
golfers. made up of men who have all
reached the age Of so years. In fact, the
total years of the four reaches well past
the 200 mark.

four men named would make such a
