Victor SEES NO REASON
WHY HE SHOULD LEAVE

E. X. Victor. former German vice
consul in Richmond. said last night to
representative of The Times DISPATCH
that he had received no such notice
as that referred to in the Washington
dispatch. and until he had received
his case. from the State Department,
he could not say what action he would
take. He was, however. adverse to
leaving Richmond. and did not believe
that was necessary, since his duties in
the past as vice consul for the impe-
rial German government had been few
and for them he received no compcnsa-
ton.
He declared that his business In Rich
mond for many years had been con-
fined entirely TO the tobacco trade.
Consuls in the United States were paid
In some instances. he said. by the Ger
man government. Iut that was only
where they held the consulate as a
means Of support. Mr.. Victor said no

did not want to go to Mexico

Developments yesterday recalled the
fact that Federal Secret Service men
recently visited Mr.. Vietors rooms In
prominent New York hotel while he
was on business trip to that city
and made a thorough examination of
his baggage. The government agents
also asked many questions, which werc
answered by MIR. Victor, although he
said that he had finally asked If they
were thinking of entering the tobacco
business. This tilt came after many
questions concerning his business had
been put to Mr.. Victor.
Tho agents. finding nothing TO at
tract their attention. finally abandoned
their search Mr.. Victor told of his
experience on his return to Richmond.
and said that while the experience had
been little embarrassing for him. he
supposed that war conditions made
such precautions necessary.

to be acting. The fact is. they are
breaking the law. but their wearing
