By Hobart T. Mitchell

can only remember, writes Rev
Calvin Fairbanks, that it was early
in May, 1843, that my sympathy
and patriotism were aroused in be-
half of one of the most beautiful
and exquisite young girls one could
find in freedom or slavery. She
was the daughter of her MASTER
being only sixty-fourth African.
She was self-educated, and accom-
plished in literature and social
manners, in spite of the institution
cursing her race; and her heartless,
jealous mistress had doomed her
to be sold on the block, hating her
for her beauty and accomplish
ments. Eliza had been confined in
an upper room of the Lexington,
Kentucky, Jail. She recognized me
as 1 was walking in the Jail yard,
and drew my attention by tapping
upon the window. l called upon
her in her ballroom, learned of her
situation, fastened to Cincinnati,
Ohio, to Levi Coffin, then with him
to Hon. S. P. Chase, Nicholas
Longworth, Samuel Lewis and
others, returning to Lexington
with twenty-five hundred dollars,
and a paper authorizing me to
draw twenty-five thousand if nee
essary to save the girl.
There were two thousand people
at the sale, representing the wealth
and culture of Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinna-
ii, Washington, New Orleans,
Louisville and Frankfort; also the
city of Lexington and vicinity.
There were ladies and gentlemen,
slave-masters and mistresses, spec
ulatOrs in human chattels - all
anxiOusly waiting. Hon. Robert
Wickliffe, brother of the late
Charles A. Wickliffe, Postmaster
General under President Tyler, the
master of five hundred slaves, was
there with his family. And short,
thick-necked, black-eyed French
man from New Orleans, the CO.
cOnspirator with the girls mistress,
was there. At my left stood Eliza's
aunt, a cool, intrepid, self-posed
woman, and at my right were two
cOunselors-at-law retained in my
service.
Upon the block, before the gaz-
ing multitude, stood the auctioneer
by his victim-not a man, with the
touch of manly feeling-but the
embodiment of Diabolus, trained
and anxious for his work.
>. Bids began at two hundred
and fifty dollars. bid four
teen hundred and fifty.
Look here, gentlemen" said
the auctioneer, "Who is going to
lose such a chance as this? Here
is a girl fit to be the mistress Of
a king"
Southern women blushed and Mr..
Wickliffe hung his head in shame.
Fourteen hundred and eighty
five!" The hammer fell. She was
mine. She tainted. ELIZA, you are
free as Governor Letcher."
'Mr. Fairbanks, / will go where
ever you wish to take me-" said
Eliza.
After four days we took the
train for Frankfort, and thence by
boat to Cincinnati. There she was
educated, there she married, has
for forty-three years filled a posi-
ton Of honor and usefulness in So
ciety, and none but her husband
and a few chosen friends know she
ever was slave, or that she has
drop of African blood in her
veins.

UNION DEMANDS
 NOT FAVORABLE
Trucking Firms Against
 Hourly Increase in All ClassiflcatiOns

The Highway Transport AsSocia. ton of New England, Inc, repre- senting 200 trucking firms employ ing over 1000 men, was to inform New England units of the ttruck drivers union this afternoon that 1t could not agree to a union demand for Q wage increase of five cents an hour in all claSsificationS.
 The operators made their decision yesterday at e meeting in Provi- dence, R. r. The conference with union officials was slated for South bridge, Mass. The Waterbury local of the International Union of Team- Sters, ChauffeurS, Stablemen and Helpers was represented by Timo- thy Collins, Secretary-treaSurer.
 Union drivers and helpers have been operating under a four-year contract signed in 1889, The union asked for the wage increase under a contract provision allowing for the reopening of the wage question in the event of infiationary or de- fiationary movements, claiming that living costs have risen so rapidly that higher pay is necessary.
 The operators claimed at their meeting yesterday that the unions demands are not justified at this time. Joseph M, Adelizzi, executive secretary of the association, aSsert- ed that union members had received increases of three and four per cent last spring and that overtime pay has meant increases of from l2 to IS per cent for many men. He de- clared that costs of materials and equipment have risen from 10 to 30 per cent.

Judg- ment liens against 21 pieces of real estate, named in the original com plaint, were filed In the town clerks office Saturday by States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald.
 The current stage of proceedings against Mrs. Hayes is the outcome of a $53,O0O action brought by the state, which 'contended that the defendant had posted bonds of .@50,- 900 for the appearance of missing former city controller, Daniel J.

 The symptoms shown by the patient who died following adrnin- istration of the drug resembled pemphigus - characterized by the formation of large, fiaccid, scabby blisters filled with e watery fluid, After drying up, 1t left pigmented spots on the skin. The sulfanilamide treatment was originally started for an inflammatory condition of the mastoid and the patient died sev- eral months later.
 "Physicians in the state feel that the public should be impressed with the fear of poisonous reactions" reports the society, H 1lorder to avoid the baneful sequelae which might result from the indiscriminate use of the sulfonamides.
 "On the other hand, 8 thorough knowledge of what reactions to ex- pect and the recognition of them will help dispel the fear of toxic ef- fleets on the part of the physician, thus giving him Q feeling of greater security in the use of these valuable new medical agents"

and legal action ensued, which re- suited in e judgment obtained An superior court, ordering Mrs. Hayea to pay the sum Of eSl,6O0.
 After Q hearing on the foreclosure action, 1t is expected that tho court will set a law-day for payment of the Judgment. If the sum ag not forthcoming, the state may legally take possession of sufficient prop erty to satisfy the amount of the claim, or may collect rents from tenants until the sum is obtained.
 Tn the event that Leary should return before final settlement has been achieved, 1t is regarded as Q possibility that Atty. John s. Mona gan, counsel for Mrs. Hayes, viii file 6 motion for compromise settle. inent of the claim. Whether the court would consent to this proce- dure is not known.
 The capture of Leary, however continues to seem as remote as ever with reports current that the traO has been "cold" since June. PreW. ous to that time, 1t appears, the state police, under Commissioner Edward J. Hickey, had been in pos session of clues as to the where abouts of the former official, but none of these hes led to any new developments.
 Rvnors reported as eInarating from reliable sources that the cap. ture of Leary was imminent, have proved groundleSs. Commissioner Hickey has consistently refused to make any comment on the case, other than to say that when the state police had information that they wished to divulge, 1t would not be withheld.

 The dangers of indiscriminate use of this drug and its derivatives has been emphasized by the report of a patient who died following @ gen. eralized skin eruption that resulted from treatment with sulfanilamide.
 "The increasing use of sulfanila- mide, sulfapyridine and related compounds by physicians and their description in the lay press with subsequent uncontrolled use by the public" said a spokesman of the so- ciety, "emphasizes the important need for the medical profession to be on the lookout for poisonous manifestations as a result of the

WarpIane Deliveries
Ahead Of New Orders

Deliveries of new warplanes are
running ahead of new orders for
the first time since the defense
program began, according to a
survey made of the aircraft manu-
featuring industry by Aviation
magazine.
Current untitled orders amount
to 1896, 100000, which is four
times greater than year ago but
shows a slight decline from the re-
cord $4,000, 000,0 reported month
ago.
The industry reported, however,
that additional orders in excess of
$4,000 100000 still to be placed
probably will raise aircraft back
logs to successive new high levels.
The survey indicated that the
United States now is producing
more than 1900 airplanes annu-
ally and will be up to 30,000-a-
year basis by early fall.
During the first quarter of 1941
the domestic output Appropriated
1925 100000, while exports totaled
1924 100000. Meanwhile, it was
pointed out, aircraft plans under
the lease-lend and supplemental
defense programs will call for
further plant expansion and the
addition of at least one more auto
mobile company to the ranks Of
the primary aircraft manufac-
turerS.
