OBJECT TO MINISTER
IN THE CITY COUNCIL
Three Santa Cruz Councifmen
Oppose Mayors Appointment
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

lOfcStui L%toPotCH 10 4 nc ou
SANTA CRUZ, Nov. 2s.-There is a
deadlock in the city council over the
appointment OF minister to fill the
place made vacant by the death OF
Councilman w B. Miller of the fourth
ward.
Mayor T. w. Drullard, who has the
power of appointment, said at the out
set that he would leave to the people OF
the fourth ward the selection of a man
to serve them and that he would ap-
point the man who seemed to be the
choice OF the people.
Rev. e. c. Philleo, pastor of the Pres
byterian church and a man decidedly
popular among all classes, was recon-
rnended as the choice of the majority of
the people, there being a petition pre-
sented with Ill names upon it, while
j. II. Brown had 141 signers to a petit
tion urging his appointment.
At the regular meeting of the city
council this morning Mayor Drullard
appointed Rev. Mr. Philleo, but the
members of the council failed to ratify
the appointment. Councilmen W. r.
Springer, Philip Hynes and J. A. Pilk-
ington favored the selection, but op-
posed to it were Councilmen F. r.
Howe, H. F. Anderson and Frank Rob-
erts.
There seems to be no way of over
coming the deadlock and the mayor
will not go back. on his word. The
power in the council has rested with
four men, but since the death of Ceun-
Gilman Miller that power has been
evenly divided. and there is naturally a
contest in seating the seventh member,
who will swing the balance of power

How to Make Better Cough
Syrup Than You Can Buy

A full pint of cough syrup
enough to last a family a long
time-can be made by the recipe
given below in five minutes, for
only 54 cents. Simple as it is,
there is nothing better at any
price. 1t usually stops a deep
seated cough in twenty-four
hours, and Is a splendid house
hold remedy for whooping cough,
colds, hoarseness, bronchitis. etc.
Take pint of granulated
sugar. add y pint warm water
and stir about minutes. Put
21s OF. Pinex in a pint bottle
and fill up with syrup. Take a
teaspoonful every one, two, three
hours. 1t keeps perfectly and
the taste is pleasing.
The chemical elements of pine.
which are very healing to mem
branes. are obtained in high pro-
portion in Pinex, the most yalu-
able concentrated compound of
Norway White Pine Extract.
None of the weaker pine prepara-
tions will work with this recipe.
Your druggist has Pinex or can
easily get it for you.
Strained honey can be used in
stead of the syrup and makes a
