SUES FOR VISA. Karl W. M. Rammler of New York, who represents a paper jobbing con- cern in Hamburg, Germany, filed suit in mandamus in the District Suprema Court against Frank B. Kellogg, Sec- retary of State, yesterday to compel him to transmit instructions to the United States consul general at Mon- treal, Canada, to give the petitioner a quota immigration visa chargeable to the German quota when his turn is reached. Rammler is visiting in New York, and while still residing here sought a visa by the Montreal consul, which is claimed to be in opposition to the rule of the immigration bureau. The reason given for the refusal, the court is told, violates the terms of the treaty between the United States and Germany, proclaimed October 14, 1925. Rammler is represented by H.
