land, Jim Says "No."

Peter Jackson arrived In town on the
Chicago limited. reaching the Grand
Central Station ut LIS o'clock this
afternoon. But few people were on hand
to welcome him. and he passed through
the crowd as little noted almost as the
rest of the passengers by that train.
The Australian was not accompanied
by Parson Davies. but Tom O'Rourke,
George Dixon's manager, met him at
the station. and seemed TO have as
sumed charge of Peters affairs and an
swered for the big pugi.ist. 'l
Peter looks in good physical condition;
his eye II bright, his big frame well
covered and his movements agile and
alert. He went Immediately across the
stree. to the Grand Union Hotel, where
q room had been engaged by telegraph.
Earlier In the day Champion Jim Cor
bett was a bus- man. He arrived at
Manager w. A. Brady's ONCE before
noon after vain inquiries regarding Jack
son. who had. 30 he supposed, arrived
early.
To an Evening World" reporter who
met him In that once he said that he

soon after his arrival as possible.
II want this matter settled" he said,
and the sooner the match 10 clinched
the better I will be satisfied. l leave
town tomorrow and do not sec why n
meeting cannot be arranged this after
noon and the thing settled right away.
Personally. I don't believe Peter
means business. To my mind. he has
split with 'Parson' Davies and Is trying
to manage his own affairs"
