GILLESPIE
BARES ASTOR
APOLOGY

NEW YORK, June 16 UN.S).
The Astor-G Gillespie feud, which
has been rocking society since
Eileen Gillespie broke her engage
ment to- John Jacob Astor Sd,
flared up again today when Mrs.
Lawrence Lewis Gillespie, socially
prominent mother Of the pretty
debutante, made public the young
millionaire'S famous "letter Of
apology" which preceded return
to him Of the 500, 900 engagement
ring he gave Eileen.
Irked by Mr.. Astor'S denial that
he made the apology, which was
demanded by the Gillespies in
exchange for the return Of the
ring, Mrs. Gillespie revealed the
text Of the letter to International
News Service. At the same time
she issued a brief statement indi-
eating that as far as the GILES
pies are concerned, the matter is
closed.
Called Story Bluff
Mr.. >Astor had referred to the
story of the apology as bluff"
and filth" The letter made pub
lie today by Mrs. Gillespie was
dated last Monday. It contained
the words II apologize" but did
not reveal the exact cause Of the
quarrel between the couple.
Mrs. Gillespie's statement and
the text of Astor'S letter to
Eileen follow:
'cIn reported interviews to the
press, Mr.. John Jacob AStOr
seems to cast some doubt on
the quality Of his apology. The
letter Of apology 8 IS follows:
"'June IL, 1884.
"DeaF Miss Gillespie:
'T willingly withdraw any
thing I may have said to you
in the corridor Of the Savoy
Plaza Hotel on Sunday, January
21, 1894, which may have hurt
you and I apologize.
"T assure you that If 1 have
occasion to speak or write Of
yOm or your family it will be
only with respect, for, as you
know, have always held you
In the highest esteem.
Sincerely,
""J. ]. ASTOR.'
ut Is not desired that any
further discussion on this sub
jeCt shall ensue."
In revealing the text Of the
apology, Mrs. Gillespie reversed
her stand for the second time in
as many days. She previously
had declared she, didn't see how
any benefit could be derived"
from making the letter public.
AstOr To Wed June 30
Explaining her decision to re-
veal the contents of the famous
letter, Mrs. Gillespie told Inter
national News Service that Astor
had made statements which put
us in a weak position"
Meanwhile, Mr.. AStor went
ahead with plans for his marriage
to Miss Ellen Tuck French, New
port debutante, at Newport on
June 80. Invitations for the we'd
dig were issued yesterday.
When the wedding is held two
weeks from today the GilleSpies
will not be in Newport, Mrs Giles
pie indicated, She said:
eve may 60 to Europe in
several weeks. Later we will 80
to Newport as usual"
Mrs. Gillespie's decision to re-
veal the contents of AStor's letter
was made suddenly today upon her
return from the country and came
on the heels of reports that the
heir to the Astor millions planned
to beat the Gillespies to the
draw" by making the note public
himself.

Two Postponed Games De- lay Second Half Moose
 Elks to Play Sunday

With two postponed games left on the schedule for the first half of the City League season, and some uncertainty as to the con- tinuance of the Douglas Fire De- partment team in the second half, the beginning of the latter was today indefinitely postponed until June 20 If the Island aggrega- tion disbands, it will be necessary to redraft the schedule for the re- mainder of the season.
 Last nights game between Doug las and the Moose was rained out. The postponed game between the Elks and Moose will be played to- morrow at 4:30 p. m. if weather conditions permit. The official weather forecast is for rain.
 On the outcome of that game rests the first half championship The Elks are leading the Ameri- ican Legion by the close margin of one-half game. If the Moose can tame the Bills, it will be nec- essary for the latter and the Vets to play off the tie for first place. This will be done during the com ing week, if necessary.

 Captains of the teams are Charles Day for the Tallapoosa and Erwin Hagerup for the Car dinals. These two are also pitch CTS.
