Under his own root again as- a
private citizen, he rested tonight
with his burden! of state trans
ferred to other shoulders, . and
the shouting and tumult of pub

through' a day that had taxed his
broken physical powers greatly,
he came smilingly with no hint
at regret! in his retirement.
; There; was but one incident
when that cheerful mood seemed
to fall. 1 1 Mr. Wilson had been

would not witness the inaugura

as he doubted his ability to ne

Mr. VIlson turned toward the

a touch of cool formality as he

; From the moment he emerged
from the White House to enter
the automobile that carried them
to the capitol, Mr. Wilson was

The resignation of John F. I-
gati from membership on the state
parole board is expected to reaCb
Governor Olcott within a few
days, and the governor doubtless
will immediately appoint his ur
eessor. In a letter to Senator
Hanks of Multnomah county,
which was read lief ore the judi
ciary committee at the legislative
session, Mr. Logan announced his
intention to resign from the board
about March 1.
The letter was written as a re
sult of a bill that was Introduced
by Senatcr Hume, providing that
no lawyer, sheriff, court clerk or
other court offic?r be eligible to
serve on the board. The bill
failed to pas, but it was generally
recognized as having merit in
that it would prevent any person
from serving on the board who
might be personally Interested in
some of the Inmates of the prison.
Oppanents of the measure de
clared It was directed personally
at Mr. Logan, but thl Senator
Hume ' emphatically denied
though he stoutlv affirmed that
no attorney should be a m?mber
of the board. Governor Olcott.
when apprised that Mr. Logan in
tended to resign from the board,
said he would appoint a layman,
and if he adheres to the state
ment the policy will serve tempo
rarily the purpose of the Hume
bill.
