ZOE CANS SELLS HIS
BALTIMORE HOTEL
Dying Pugi|ist Disposes of the
GoIdfieId to a Friend-End
Not Far Off.

BALTIMORE, August 9.-Joe Cans is
no longer the owner Of the Goldfield
Hotel 1t was announced yesterday that
Thomas r. Smith, a close friend OF the
former premier lightweight champion OF
the world, who is now dying of tubercu-
losis at the home of his mother, on Argyle
avenue, had purchased the establishment
for 5000 The bill of sale which was
signed Saturday was recorded In the
superior court yesterday, the paper bear
ing the names of Attorneys William
Harry Pairo and Harry S. Cummings,
who recently: executed Cans will.
The selling of the Goldfield was at big
sacrifice, as it was the former great
lightweight's pride, he having spent .$12,-
600 to have 1t erected.
Cans had the hotel constructed mainly
for the purpose of catering to colored
vaudeville performers, and while with his
venture, he did not make money hand
over fist, 1t proved "a paying investment.
Until he went to Arizona for his health,
Cans lived there. his last distinguished
guest being Jack Johnson, the heavy
weight champion of the world, shortly
before johnson signed articles to meet
James j. Jeffries in the greatest battle OF
his career
1t was also at the Go1dfeld that Cans
and his old antagonist, Battling Nelson,
who defeated him for the lightweight
championship. smoked the pipe of peace.
Cans and Nelson had been enemies after
their notable battles for the lightweight
honor. especially after their first meeting,
when Nelson forced Cans to weaken him
self to the limit to do 1873 pounds with
his fighting toys on at Goldheld, after
which Cans named his hotel After It
had been Stipulated that the men weigh
in stripped at 1873 pounds, Nelson said
there would he no battle unless Cans
climbed on the scales in his ring make-
up-that is,..with his shoes, trunks, etc.
Cans was never much after his last
meeting with Nelson September 8, 1908.
The following March l. he made his final
appearance in ,the ring with Jabez White
of England in New York: but Cans was
without his old-time skill. and ever since
that battle his health began to wane. His
real collapse however, occurred shortly
before Ad Wolgast had won his old title
from Nelson. Cans still thought SO much
of himself in a mill with Wolgast that
he posted forfeit of 600 in New York
to meet Nelson's successor; but the new
champion failed to recognize his chal-
lenge. 1t was on his trip to Gotham to
pull down the forfeit money that Cans
contracted a severe cold, and his plight
since is we'll known to every follower of
the ring in this city.
Last night the eX-champion was in a
critical condition, and oxygen was used
freely to keep life in his fragile body.
There were many callers at his mothers
home but only his most intimate friends
were permitted to see him. 1t was the
general opinion of those who visited Cans
that the former famous pugilist did not
weigh over sixty-five pounds

GIRL NURSE CURES CASES
OF INFANTILE PARALYSIS
Saves Lives Of Six Infants After
Physicians Had Given Up
All Hope.

BURLINGTON, n. j.. August 9-Medi-
cal authorities here pronounce as almost
miraculous cures that have been wrought
in six cases of infant paralysis. Four
of the children are now walking and
the others have nearly regained their
health.
Physicians give credit for the remark
able cures to Miss Lillian BALI, a trained
nurse In charge Of the Friendly Society
work in this vicinity.
In each case doctors saw nothing in
prospect except lifelong helplessness if
the little victims escaped early death.
Miss BALI wrought one noted cure, and
the other cases were then placed under
her charge.
External applications and expert mas
sage physicians say, displaced internal
remedies In her treatment. and the value
OF 1t has been so thoroughly demon
strated that each individual case will be
brought before the State Medical So
ciety at it's earliest meeting.

the racks there, we'll as five tours.

The Arsonauts of Canada, with crews
In every race except the quadruple SOULS,
will arrive here at noon tomorrow. Their
large fiotilla of boats will be looked after by
Chairman Underwood. and will be placed
in the Analostan house. The entry list
of the Argonauts Is the largest that any
one club ever made in any regatta, and
coming on the heels of the disruption of
their wonderful senior eight and four by
the drowning of Kent, is one Of the most
remarkable affairs of aquatics. Capt

vefops all Of their crews, Is regarded as
the Courtney of Canada, owing to the
success that attends the oars Of the
.'ArgieS."

Capt. Worth G. Ross, commandant of the
service.
g The local committee has also made all
arrangements with Lieut.. L. 8. Grant, Sd,

From this last franchise the committee
hopes to realize enough to wipe out the
debt OF the regatta.

ENTIRE VALLEY INTERESTED
IN MAY AFFAIR
HISTORIC SCENES ARE TO BE RE-

Little Band of Missionaries
That Dedicated caplIla
to Patron Saint

SAN BERNARDINO, March 5.--To
commemorate the Tooth anniversary of
the birth of their city and the naming
of the -girded valley sur
rounding 1T, the people of San Bernar-
dino are laying plans for centennial
celebration. Theirs is one of the Oldest
inland cities in California and about
the founding OF the settlement that
marked the spot upon which the pres
ent city itself is now built are wrapped
events of historic interest, and these
arc to be portrayed in the celebration
TO be held May 1921 of this year, when
the scenes of a hundred years ago will
be re-enacted beneath the same en-
blazoned Arrowhead that from its
mountain side overlooked the valley
when the first white man set foot into
its wide sunlit eXpanse.
On May 90 1910, a little band of mis-
sionaries and soldiers halted their
march and made the camp that grew
into the city of San Bernardino. They
were Franclscans from the San Gabriel
mission, and it was they who drove the
first stakes Of civilization in that
savage ruled valley.
1t was on the feast day of San Ber
nardino de Sienna that Padre Dumetz
and his missionaries set up
their camp, and in honor of that saint
they renamed, before the day was
done, the beautiful valley known then
among the Franciscans as Ell Vale de
San Jose. Near the place now known
ns Bunker Hill, on the southern limits
of the city. the padre and his men built
a "capilla'' and dedicated 1t to the
patron saint of the valley. This was
the beginning of San Demanding.
One hundred years have now passed
since that brave band of missionaries
risked the perils Of a scarcely explored
region and erected the emblem of their
church and established the settlement
of San Bernardino.
First Visited in 1774
The advent of the white man into the
valley preceded the arrival of Padre
Dumetz and his band over a quarter
of century on March Is, 1774,
an expedition lead by Juan Bautista
De ANA, who, under orders from the
viceroy of Mexico to establish a road
between Sonora and Monterey, pushed
his way through the mountain pass to
the east and entered the valley. De
Anza named the fertile region he dis
covered in honor of st. Joseph, or El
Vale de San Jose. He was the first
white man to gaze upon the mysteri-
GUS arrowhead on the mountain side.
II is the act of Padre Dumetz, how
ever, in establishing civilization and re.
naming the valley that San Bernardno
is TO observe, for it Is to these events
that can be traced the beginning OF
the present city. Never after the
founding of the post was the valley
deserted by white man.
For many months the people of San
Bernardino have been planning on the
