 VISITED BY QUIGLEY
Mayor Expresses Belief Albany Ave nue District Properly Severed
 Sees Little Hope of Relief.

Mayor Quigloy today inspected the storm water sewerage system in the locality of Albany avenue and Bur ritt street, where an overflow dur ing Sunday nights heavy rain caus- ed damage which has resulted in a claim for s112.5n. Mrs Amelia kolodziej is the claimant and she will be heard by a committee of the common council next month.
 In the opinion of the mayor, ex- pressed after today's inspection, there are a sufficient number Of manholes in the district to carry off heavy rains, but he doubts, he said, whether it ever would be possible to insure no overflow in this neighbor- hood during storms such as the one which the city was visited by Sun day night. The topography of the land is such that surface waters are sent to a. central point where, in spite of the presence of four man. holes, it is sometimes impossible to carry off the flow, it is explained.

President Sends Mes sage to Senate In Re- ply to McKellar Reso- luion Urging Him to Disclose Papers De- manded.
Sen. Hale of Maine Mean- while Attacks Treaty Says It Will "Hog-Tie and Hamstring" United States in Control of Great Britain.

Washington, July II (UP)- President Hoover refused today to submit to the senate secret docu- ments concerning negotiations of the London Naval treaty. He de- clared publication of them would constitute "a betrayal of trust" on the part of the United States.
 His refusal was embodied in d message to the senate in response to the McKellar resolution request ing him to submit documents the publication Of which would not be incompatible with the public in- , trest.
 The presidents message reached the senate while. Chairman Hale of the naval committee was engaged in a lengthy speech opposing the treaty. Opponents of the treaty, led by Senator Hiram Johnson. repub- lican, Cal, had demanded the papers. claiming they were neces- sary to a full understanding of the treaty.
 A number of senators have seen the disputed papers, the president explained, upon promise that they would keep the material in conf- ! dence.
 T believe that no senator can read these documents without agreeing with me that no other course than to insist upon the maintenance of such confidence is possible" he wrote.
 And I take this opportunity to repeat with the utmost emphasis that in these negotiations there were no secret or concealed understand ings, promises or interpretations or any commitments whatever, except as appear in the treaty itself and in ] the interpretative exchange of notes recently suggested by your commit tee on foreign affairs, all of which are now in the hands Of the sen- ate.
 Washington, July II R-In expectation of a refusal from Pres- ident Hoover of its request for the confidential documents about the naval conference, the senate heard the treaty negotiated at Lon don denounced early today by Sem ator Hale
 MT. Hoover and Secretary Stim- son discussed the situation caused by the call for the papers. They do not consider publication of the material to be in the public interest and quick reply to the senate to that ef- feet was expected and forthcoming later today.

SOFT COAL TEST
 NOT IMPRESSIVE
Mayor Doubts Use by Fire, Police Departments Possible
OFFICIALS SEE EXHIBIT
Smoke and Gas FIJI Basement of Headquarters as Expert Shows How Fuel Should Be Used- Chimney Blamed.

Mayor Quigley today expressed doubt whether it will be possible to use soft coal in the heating plants of fire and police headquarters on Commercial street.
 With other city officials, coal deal CTS and a heating engineer, the mayor spent more than half an hour in the cellar of the building with doubt as to the wisdom of changing from anthracite to bituminous in Creasing as the smoke and gas filled the throats of the assembled men and at times made it difficult to see more than a few feet ahead
 Chiefs W. J. Noble and W. C. Hart and Chairman E. G. Hjerpe of the fire board were present at the ex- hibition. staged for the purpose of convincing city officials that soft coal is equally as efficient as hard coal and less expensive.
 The mayor had asked his boards 10 consider such switch as a move for economy. Action by the coal purchasing committee of the com mon council had been postponed awaiting the outcome of todays meeting.
 In the mayors opinion, expressed today, the chimney at headquarters is not large enough to create a draft which will remove the smoke and gases.
 No Report Next Week
 Councilman Hanes. chairman of the coal purchase committee, said this afternoon that a report will not be made at the meeting of the council next Wednesday because of the failure of the bituminoUs coal to burn satisfactorily. It is prob able that new bids will be called for, on anthracite coal for the fire stations. The city hall commission and public welfare department will continue to burn bituminous coal as they have done in past years.
 Councilman Hanes was among the group of officials in attendance at the trial of the bituminous coal this morning.
