 Mrs M Y. Schwartz. who is ex- pected to be one of the important wit fesses in the Thaw-White murder case did not appear at the District Attor- ney's office today in answer to a sub poena which was served on her yes- terday. Instead. her attorney called on Assistant District Attorney Garvan and told him that Mrs. schwartx is III.
 rey, "and I don't know when she will be able to see you"
 Mir Garvan sent a detective sergeant to the Pierrepont where Mrs. Schwartz lives to remain on duty until further notice.
 It had been planned to have Mrs Schwartz go before the grand jury to- day to be questioned about story tc the enfect that Harry Thaw while z guest at a dinner in her apartments eighteen months ago fiourished a re volver and declared that he would shoot White with it.

 'T have learned today" sald . member of the Publicity and Promotion Committee of the Commercial Ciub, that it has been stated on the streets of Montgomery that business house distributing the 1910 buttons are making a profit on them.
 "This statement Is an injustice to those patriotic business men who are assisting the committee in the distribution of the buttons and it cannot be too strongly denied In nearly every instance the establishments which are distributing the buttons have come forward and paid . round sum. full price, for the buttons and have taken their chance of disposing of them
 Again. 1t has reached mo that certain persons have criticised the committee for selling the buttona It was decided by the committee. after mature deltberations that this was the best plan of distribution. The buttons are handsome and the committee could not afford with its appropriation. to distribute the buttons tndiscrirninately. w. would be glad n every man. woman and child in Montgomery could have button but if every man. woman and child in Mont Romery had one of these buttons free they would cost the committee &10, 900 and more.
 We could not afford to give away the buttons to a selected few and the conclusion was reached that the small sum of 2s cents each be eharRed for the buttons. whcih Is about the cost of them I am glad t. see that where there is one fault-finder in Montgomsry there are thousands of patriots as the supply of buttons has been nearly exhausted and we will place a second or der"
