(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, d. g., June 12-Presi-
dent Roosevelt held a conference to-
! day with about 80 members OF the
American Asiatic Association, repre-
senting the cotton textile industry and
the iron and steel trade Of the United
States. The delegation entered for
NAL protest against such an enforce

as might imperil the export trade or

pointed out that the commercial or

Searchlights Unsatisfactory.
(By the Associated Pfess.)

Fortress Monroe. Va. June 12.-
The vigil of the searchlights of the ar
tillery defenses last night was fruit
less. None of the units of the Admiral
Dickens fleet constituting the naval
side of the joint exercises of the army
and navy was picked up by the search
lights of the fort last night.
just before daylight today a small
craft was discovered by a search light
which at first was taken to be a tor
pedo boat destroyer making observa-
tions of the positions of the lights.
Closer scrutiny showed the craft to be
Il fishing boat. This constitutes the
only reward of the nights work:
The practice of the searchlgihts was
declared TO be satisfactory. Their
range, however. is far short of twelve
miles channel available to Admiral
Dickens. and the supposition is that
he could have run the capes and pro-
ceeded to Washington and Baltimore
from the ocean unobserved If he had
so elected.
