Adv. i tf Unidentified Body Is Found Hanging in Tree Timepiece May Solve Identity of Dead Man Two hits of gold, the back and front of a hunting.

case watcti, are to-, dav being sought as the only clews to the identification of the unidentified man found hanging from a tree in the Piedmont-hills yesterday. The suicide. In his care t6 remove every possible mark of Identification before hanging himself with a piece of hemp rope dropped by a newsboy when he untied the wrappings of a nunclle or papers, oversnoi ma bii. He irave the police a Bint as to method of Identification when, by tearing the cover from his watch and disposing of them, he left be- hind him a message that these covers might lead to his identification. The watch was left In the pockets and found on the body of the dead man.

It was a costly timepiece, being a nineteen-Jeweled American movement and cased In solid gold. A search is being made to see if the case was dropped near the scene of the suicide, and in the meantime the number of the watch movement is being traced. 1 Although the body, which was found hanging in a tree near' the Maxwell farm by picnic party, was dressed In cheap clothing, the police believe, from the care taken in removing marks of Identification and from the fact that the watch was an expensive one, that the dead man may be of some Importance. The clothing, it is thought, was in some cheap clothing house to throw them off the scent in their efforts to Identify the body. A search Is also being made of pawnshops in case the missing piece of watch case may have been pawned or sold as old gold.

ft is believed, however, that It was torn off near the scene search is being" made of the neighborhood of the tree In which the body was found. FOUXD IX TREE. A.

Playing about under the trees in the Moraga canyon, near the Maxwell property, the revelers were suddenly confronted by the grim relic of a man, suspended among the leaves.

The body was first sighted by William: Embnagle, 623 Franklin street. The man was about 30 years of age, 5 feet 9 inches in height, medium in weight and bf light complexion. He was dressed In a cheap blue suit, striped shirt and black shoes. The body was removed to the morgue and an inquest be held. The man had evidently picked up a piece of heavy twine taken by a newsboy frbm a package of papers in the vicinity, and climbed to a limb of the tree, fastening the knots and dropping from the limb.

The commissioners, sitting as a board of equalization, will how receive complaints from property owners of alleged Inequalities in assessment. They have the power to make corrections where it appears that an injustice haa been done.

They will also, in alt probability, follow the precedent of previous years by exempting charitable institutions from all but a nominal assessment. ROUTINE PROCEDURE. The upshot of the work of the board of equalization is usually a slight reduction in the total of the assessment rolls. The rolls are then turned over to the city treasurer arid after the tax rate has been fixed by! the council- in September are made the basis of writing the tax bills. This year the tax bills were turned out by City Auditor and Assessor Clay as a by-product of the assessment rolls and the ony work to be done will be that of placing the amount of taxes due on each bill.

The meeting of the board of equalization and acceptance of the tax rolls are in accordance with the provisions of the charter which are contained in sections 113, 117 and 118. It is there provided that on or before the first Monday in. July in each year the city assessor shall complete his list of as-sesslble property, attach his certificate thereto and deliver it, with maps and block books and all original lists of property given him, to the city clerk.r The clerk shall thereupon notify the board of equalization of the fact and shall keep the rolls and block books in his office for public Inspection. FINISH WORKaJi ULY. The council shall meet at its usual place on the fiNt Monday in July and sit as a board of equalization for the purpose of equalizing taxes, arjdXqnn-tinue in session from day to day until the last Monday in July.

The city clerk- shall give notice of. such meetings In the official newspape The board of equalization shall have the power to hear complaints and to correct, modify, strike out or lower or to raise any assessment, provided that notice shall be given to the party-whose assessment ia to be raised. office force and field force have worked hard in preparing this 1 assessment roll," said City Assessor Clay. "I believe that it Is as near a Just assessment as can be reached. 1 Of course the valuation of property! must be a matter of Judgment.

1 "We have exercised every nrca' tion and have checked our work la every wfty possible. 1 became aume- what disoouragea aunng tne worn at the haTd-luck stories that were told me by persons who felt that there was no justification for making' any increase in their valuations. But now the work is done I am satisfied that we have made an honest assessment. We mav have made mistakes, but I believe that they are not many and that, they can bo corrected, If they are proved, by the board of equalization provided -for Just that purpose." SMALXi DAMAGE BY FIRE. Fire In a marble yard owned by Peter Mulllns, near the cemeteries, did minor damage last night before the blaze was extinguished by the fire department.

The blaze started in a small outhouse in the rear of the shop.
