With a period of bullding activity un- equaled in the winter season in the his- tory of San Francisco, with large sales In 1he beginning of the year that-seem to indicate tk the total transactions of twelve months cannot fall short of $40,000,- 000, if, indeed, they do.not exceed that mark, there is also a steady influx of strangers and capital from the East into this city, which is surprising to local ob- servers, aware as they fully are of the commercial and industrial -future certainly is in store for the metropo- of the Pacific Coast. While new buildings are going up in every section of the city there are few eligible houses to rent. Each structure is in demand when it is completed. and this is true of about part of the city.

One sign of the intention of the land- Jords to get higher rents is supplied by the action of the large investment com- pany that holds the former Blythe prop- erties on Market and Geary streets and Grant avenue. Beginning with the next month increased reats will be asked for properties on the two streets and ave- entioned. 1n one instance the in- & more than per- month. 12 generally, as viewed by tenants ) talked with a Call reporter, the in- e amounts to something like 25 per nt in some instances. In others it is ater. Some of the property is leased for a term of years and the rent cannot be raised during that period. Notices of the increased rents have caused no little talk among the former Blythe tenants. Sales Are Important. The past week has been marked by quite a number of large sales of realty, the most important of any that has been de public being those involved in the sition of a bullding site for the Pa- cific-Union Club.

Levi, proprietor of a restaurant at 363 Hayes street, had a narrow escape early yesterday morning from meeting the same fate that befell Joseph Pedro, who was shot and killed by Policeman Crackbon out in the Mission some weeks ago. Levi was on his way from his home to the restaurant shortly after 4 o’clock, and carried a hand satchel containing meat for breakfast for his early customers. As he was walking along Market street, be- tween Gough and Franklin streets, he was observed by Policemen Stanley and Lanckman. They thought he was a suspi- clous character from the fact that he was carrying a hand satchel at that early hour of the morning. The officers wore their uniforms, but owi to_the rain had on their water- proofs. Levi saw them coming toward him, and not liking their actions turned sharply ifto Franklin street. The officers | closed in upon him and he dropped the satchel and ran. The officers shouted to him to stop, but he continued to run, and Lanckman drew his revolver and fired a shot at the- fence !urroundh\g a vacant lot on the northeast corner of Page and Franklin streets. They again calied upon Levi to halt, but he continued his flight, and Lanckman again fired a shot in the alr to intimidate him, but without effect. The pursuit was kept up till Levi took refuge in a grocery and saloon on the cor- .| ner of Eleventh and Market streets. There the afficers found him crouched in abject fear under the bar. They took him to the City Hall police station, where he told Sergeant Harper his name and the loca- tion of his restaurant. The sergeant in- structed the officers to take Levi to the restaurant, and if he was able to open the door to let him alone. Levi was taken there and he quickly satisfied them that ' he was the man he represented himself to be. Levi told the officers that he thought ther were footpads, as he had not seen their stars and did not want to take any chances.. The officers accompanied him back to Franklin street, where he had dropped the satchel, and it was recovered. Doctor Bauer Seriously Ill. Doctor Willam J. Bauer, who was re- cently transferred from the Emergency Hospital to the Twenty-sixth Street Hos- ital, is lying dangerously ill at his resi- ence, 3152 Twenty-second street.
