Asks D. C. High Court to
Uphold Validity of Baum

Denying that William r. Baum, sec
rotary of the F. H. Smith Co., came
here September IS, last, in answer to
subpoena, H. K. Taylor, 461 P street,
who has filed suit against the Smith
Co. and certain of its officials, today
asked the District Supreme Court to
uphold the validity of service obtained
upon Baum in connection with his suit
at that time.
Counsel for Baum contested the serv-
ice on the ground that he came here to
testify before an auditor in a civil mat
ter and therefore was immune to serv-
ice Of process.
Through Attorney Thomas S. Settle,
Taylor alleges that Baum came here
voluntarily and that he was served
with the subpoena when he had re-
manned here two hours after appearing
before the auditor to produce certain
records. 1t is alleged that he did not
come here as a witness.
1t was further alleged that the Smith
Co. is still doing business in Wash
ington, that it owns controlling stock
and large amounts of stock in a num-
Der of hotels, apartments and Office
buildings and is endeavoring to collect
rents from various properties.
Taylor filed suit against the Smith
Co. to recover the value of five per
cent collateral trust sinking fund gold
coupon bonds of the Properties In
vestment Corporation. He alleges they
were represented to him as first mort
gage bonds and that he paid cash for
them at their par value Later, he
said, upon learning they were second
mortgage bonds secured by slight
equity in the Hamilton Hotel, he at
tempted to sell them on the open
market, but the best offer was for only
s per cent of the par value.
