FROGS APPEARED eY THOUSANDS ON ARiZoNA'S DESERTS AFTER RAINS: THEIR ORIGIN MYSTERY

[ YUMA, Ariz. Dec l5.--Texas Hill is station on the Southern Pacific ! railroad. about 60 miles east of Yu- ma. 1t lies in a region distinguished as having the least average rainfall of any within the United States. Pos sibly two inches year will be the average
 ! The plain around il is bare, save for scattered desert vegetation and has sharp slope to the Gila river, which is distant from seven to F miles.
 Yet remarkable to relate. every rainfall usually torrential in charac- ter. serves to bring the desert alive with thousands of frogs The frogs are light green in color. somewhat more than the length of mans fin ger and very little greater in dia- meter. They take station, half sup- merged. on the edges of the pools and croak with all the noise and energy or any giant bulifrog of the marshes, till the desert rings to the 7.arsh music
 When the rain is gone and the des- ert resumes its usual condition, with the ground hard packed and super. heated by the fervent Arizona sun. the frogs are all gone They have not floated down the river with the tide The frogs along the river are of normal sort.
 Where do these frogs come from and whither do they go?
 Only few hours Of rainfall brings them forth. Local inhabitants aver that they rain down Yet. after a few hours of dampness they appear, apparently full grown. uniform in size and color.
 1 Though not yet proved. there can De no doubt that this myriad host of frogs burrows into whatever mud. there may he at the time of the de. clining waters. each individual gradu- ally dessicating. but with spark of life remaining until such time as wa ter shall return again 10 swell the tissues and 10 make living entity Of what apparently had been clod Of earth
 ' There is record of the finding 1i only one such dessicated frog. This was in thc RiIli;o valley. d shcrt dis ;ance wcs, of Tucson. though TO et for, was made toward resurrection of the bastrian by means of water. Scores Of questions arise concern ing the possible age of these frogs of their propagation. their origin and species, all thus far unanswered. But the fact remains that in some parts of southern Arizona. rainfall trans

TRANSFER OF COUNTY
 FUNDS LOCALIZED
 BY TAX COMMISSION

TUCSON. Dec 16-A conclusion visors an dcoumy treasurer. A. j.. Menard. may be eso>yeG from re- cent decision made public by the Ari- zona tax commission in Pima coun- ty case. according to statement made by Clerk Batterton of the bQard Thursday
 This decision released Cochise county forl the inconvenience of ex- haustion of certain funds in the treas ury by informing her that 10 limited extent fund transfers may be regular ly allowed and refused to grant the board of supervisors of that county an emergency fund requested on that ground
 Clerk Batterton declared Thursday he will communicate with the cor poration commission immediately and secure complete copy of the opin- ion rendered hy them on the Cochise county case in order 10 ascertain its bearing on rapidly approaching emergency in Pima county.
 Pima county is faced with exhaus- ton of three important funds. at least. long before the end of the present fiscal year. stated Exterior. These funds are those for jurors sal aries. meals for county prisoners, and the appropriation for criminal cases prosecution. and have been used up far past a reasonable point for the proportion Of the year elapsed. h. dications are that these funds will he exhausted in a very short time and that some action must be taken by the county.
 Up to the receipt Of information ra- carding the Cochise county decision the supervisors had believed it would be necessary 10 appeal 10 the tax com mission for an emergency fund al lowance. but that case seems 10 eli minate necessity for such step ex- cer: in case Of some shortage unfore, seen at the present time.
 Il has already been perceived by the supervisors that in the funds mentioned. as well as several others provided in the budget. shortages will occur.
 If Pima cOu!,y -Olld be permitted to follow the same procedure allowed in Cochise county there would be nothing to prevent her transferring funds which are not to be used 10 the extent expected into other depleted funds. only so long as the funds came under the sarie general classification. That is. funGs ;J- ne :ounty attorney, sheriff. superio~ court. would probab- Iy be under the sal;c seenral head as in Cochise l!ntv al interchange of individual itcr.S VI dciv among them would be permitted

If tire treasury and budget has d.,c.ose@ the county is ex- periencing an economical year so far as the total is conceTped Tha. is, i, is explained, considering all funds, the proportion of the budget appropri ations remaining in the treasury is larger than had been anticipated at this time when the fiscal year IS nearly one-half over

Contempt Sentence for Cen
eral Harris.

washington, Dec.' oI.-A conIeihPI
sentence of ten days in jail was inn
posed today on Maj. Gen. Peter G.
Harris, adjutant general of the army,
by Justice Siddons of the district su-
preme court for his refusal to pro-
duce- certain records in connection
with the selective service act which
were sought in Ohio divorce proceed
ings.
An appeal from the ruling of the
court that such records should be
produced was Immediately noted by
counsel for General Harris and the
contempt sentence automatically
was suspended pending disposition of
the appeal.
General Harris said that he had his
afeld equipment" ready and was pre-
pared to serve out the sentence if
necessary but added that he did not
expect to have to go to Jail.
Justice Siddons in entering the ro-
der adjudging the general in con-
tempt directed that should he decide
to produce the records sought be-
fore the expiration of the ten days
hewas to be released. The war de-
.partment, however, is to make test
of the status of draft records.
The record which Justice Siddons
ordered the general to produce was
an affidavit made by Mrs. Mary H..
Walsh in behalf of her husband, Hen
ry H. Walsh, before Walsh's local
board. Walsh is now suing his wife
for divorce and his counsel obtained
an order for the production of the af-
fdavit in connection with these pro-
ceedings.
General Harris contended that
President Wilson in the order pro-
mitigating the selective service act
promised that certain information in
connection with the questionnaires
would never be made public and that
among this information was the ply
sical condition of the men examined,
matters relating to dependents and
additional matter of afidavits that
might be filed.
In view of this the general con-
tended that he was stopped from
making the information public not
only by the law itself but also by
the presidents order which consti-
tuted ssmoral promise" to the wives
and other relatives of men called to
Eservice that information furnished by
the men would be kept from the pub
lie.

BATTLES LONG WITH FISH
Fisherman After Long Struggle Lands
Largest Swordfish Ever Seen
at Seabright, N. J.

Seabright, N. IA 4OO-pound
swordfish, one Of the largest ever
brought to the shore at Seabright. N.
j., was captured near the Middle
Banks, about 20 miles from Seabright,
after a fight of nearly three hours by
Captain Leslie Of the RumsOR Road
colony.
After several attempts to harpoon
the fish, Captain Leslie succeeded in
spearing it in the side, and Alvin
Swanson, his companion, little later
sank another just behind the head.
For over two hours longer the mon
ster thrashed about trying to shake
out the harpOons and for time the
boat was in danger Of .overturning as
It trailed the fish In his frenzied ef-
forts to break loose.
At last, as he began to tire, the boat
was pulled up to him and Captain
Leslie landed two more harpoons be-
hind the head, which took all the fight
out Of the creature. The finishing
touches were soon given, and the car
cass hauled into the boat. The fish
is said to have brought the largest
price ever paid for one of his kind.
His sword measured more than three
feet IN length.
