Seeks to Abrogate Pacts With England Oregon Senator Believes Breaking of Treaties Quickest Way Out of Canal Tangle. WASHINGTON. April 21.—Senator Uhamberlain, of Oreaon. introduced a resolution in the Senate to-day pro viding for the abrogation of the Hay- Pauncefote and the Clayton-Bulwei treaties.

The Clayton treaty is held to apply only to the Nicaraguan route, which was abandoned. Upon the Hay-Pauncefote treaty Great Britain bases her protests against free passage for American ships in the Panama Canal. Senator Chamberlain declared he considered abrogation of the treaty the easiest and quickest way to get to the bo;- tom of the affair. Banker, Pellagra Victim, a Suicide John R.
