Pangs of Conscience Caused Veteran of Brooklyn Post-office to Tell of Guilt. Unable to furnish, the ball demanded by U. S. Commissioner Cahoone, William B. Hopkins, 60 years old, superintendent of Station of the Brooklyn Postofflce, at Atlantic and Pennsylvania avenues, and for almost thirty-eight years In the Federal service, was locked up last night in the City Prison.

He was still there late this afternoon and, unless aid conies from some quarter, he faces the prospect of remaining there until called to appear before the Grand Jury to answer a charge of diverting Government funds to his own uses. Hopkins was taken before Commissioner Cahoone last yesterday afternoon practically from a sick bed. An oppressed conscience which Induced him to confess his peculations to Postmaster Voor-hies, had preyed on him for so long that it drove him to the verge of a nervous breakdown. While at work last Thurs- day he suddenly collapsed and was taken to the Lutheran Hospital in East New York. He asked the doctor who attended him to send a mesage for Postmaster Voorhies, and when the latter came he confessed that he had been using post-office money by drawing checks on an account kept by the postoiflce in a Brooklyn bank, In advance of dtooslts, trusting to tho next day's receipts to cover him up.

The total shortage In his accounts he told the Postmaster was about $400. The postal authorities were at first Inclined to credit the confession to a delusion brought on by tho veteran superintendent's Illness and the further fact that while employed as cashier In the General Postoflice he made a similar confession, but was found at that time to be absolutely straight in his accounts and merely suffering from an hallucination. A subsequent examination has con-cinved the Postmaster, however, that Hopkins' confession was correct, al-the details have uot yet been fully verified. Hopkins entered the service when he was 23 years of age. Oven ten years ago he became superintendent of Station at a salary of $2,000 a year.

Ho has a nice home In Bay Shore, L. where he has lived for years, Is married and has two grown children. He is also a member of several fraternal organizations. His peculations are laid to family Illnesses and other troubles. HOOPER NEARLY GOT $1,000.

Brston, November 25 Harry Hooper, right fielder of the Boston Ameiicsan League baseball club, foiled by a single point to attain a batting average last season which would have brought him an additional $1,000. When the official averages were published yesterday it was found that Hooper had batted for .289. In his contract Is was provided that no should receive a bonus of $1,000 if he succeeded in making an average of or better. NO MC CABTHY HEIRS. Mrs.

Honora who died Oo-tober 21, 190S, left 82 lu cash deposits, according to the report Bled In the Surrogate's office today by Transfer Tax Appraiser Owen J. Murphy. If she has any heirs a diligent search failed to locate them and her money reverts to the State. erine G. Dougherty, 22, of 270 Gold st.

STEVENS' SUIT UNDECIDED Justice Kelly Reserves Decision in Marital Troubles.

Conditions In the man-led quarters nf an army post were described In the separation suit of Mrs. Grace K. Stevens of 7-17 Qulney street, ngainst Lieutenant Colonel Gustavo W. S. Stevens, which was finished late yesterday, before Supreme Court Justice Kelly, who reserved decision, giving both sides until December 1 to hand In briefs.

Mrs. Stcven3 said that she was very unhappy at F-ort Meyers, where ber husband was stationed, and Colouel Stevens testified that hi'j wife's conduct at the post caused him much concern. Colonel Stevens said he was 411 years of age and his wife was llfi at the present, time. He was very much In love with her, he said, when he her, nnd loved her still, despite her treat ment of him. In nnswer to the questions of his attor ney, Colonel Alexander S.

Bacon, Colonel Stevens declared, in spite of his wife's denial, that she was Intoxicated twice at Fort Meyer. On one occasion, he said, she was In her night dress and her yelling attracted much attention. It was his being ordered to the Philippines that brought the Stevens' marital troubles to a hend, Colonel Stevens said, ns his wife refused to go with him. Oii his return he was stationed at Fort Meyers. Colonel Stevens said that while In Washington on a furlough he was visited by an emissary or hl wife.

SITE CONTROVERSY GROWS.

New Letters Pass in Opposition Developed by Brooklyn Avenue Property Owners. The use of crippled children from the House of St. Giles the Cripple's Hospital, at Garden City as object lessons to Induce people to contribute more freely to the fund for the new hospital, is an innovation which will be started tomorrow, when Team No. 21, captained by Floyd W. Davis, will take one of the children with it upon its calls.

This was announced today by A. F. Hoffsommer, manager of the campaign, after Dr. Burr Burton Mosher had advocated the idea during the dinner given for the workers at the Imperial last night. A speech by the Rev.

John Howard Melish, rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity, last nignt, suggested the idea to Dr. Mosher. Dr. Melish spoko of tho trouble Mrs. Cynthia Wcstover Aluen had experienced in raising money for the blind babies, and of her warning to a millionaire, who would not subscribe, that he would bring a blind baby to bis door every day until he did so.

It was this reference which awakened the thought in Dr. Mosher's mind, and he Immediately innouneed that no would provide cripples l0- as many teams as would like thtm to uoistcr up tneir It is highly probable that the large majority of those children who are well enough to travel will be brought in from Garden City to act as object lessons in the campaign. it was announced last night that the total of the money subscribed now amounts to $30,013.18, and even yet the entire suburban committee has not been heard from. Miss Morgan of Garden City reported $458.65, but she admitted that there was probably twice as much collected in the out-of-town districts. She said that one contribution of by those who had been cripples in St.

Giles had been turned in directly to Frank L. Sniffen, treasurer, and that $60 had been pledged by inmates of the institution. New Offer Forthcoming for Brooklyn Avenue Property. No mention was made at the meeting nf the nrntest from Ihp neip-hhnri in the was sent yesterday, however, from Teter Burden, of 1203 Dean street, to Dr. Francis H.

Miller, secretary of the board of trustees, in regard to this matter. This letter read that a committee has been appointed to offer to the trustees a price more than the market value of the land, in the hope that the trustees will endeavor to change the site to some other locality where it would not be an injury. This offer has not yet been made, and until It is made the trustees say they will do nothing about the matter. According to Mr. Burden's letter, the property owners of the vicinity ure becoming really alarmed at the possibility of having their property depreciated in value by the establishment of the proposed hospital.

They say that their locality Is one of the very few really residential districts of Brooklyn, and they appeal to the trustees as lovers of this borough not to make the mistake of putting the hospital' in that section. Hospital Asks Property Owners to Contribute Toward New Site. The trustees of the hospital are trying to find some way out of the trouble about the lot. aud to that end have sent letters to most of the property owners in tho neighborhood, asking what they will contribute on condition that the building be built 2,000 feet away from its present lot. Their proposition is to sell tho lot, under these conditions, and to build on another plot on New York avenue, which they are thought to have an option on.

Most of the properly owners who have been asked to contribute In this way, are not satisfied with the con-1 ditions and do not intend to make any pledges. In fact many residents are preparing to answer the request, which they do not think is fair since they have made two overtures to buy the lot from the trustees, which have been turned down. A lot across the street from that owned by St. Giles, is larger and wider, yet it is being held for $22,500, while property owners have offered to buy the hospital's laud for $23,0110.
