New York, Aug 27.--Police Com missioner Waldo made public tonight list of places raided by the police as gambling resorts during the last year and the names of the owners of the property on which the resorts were conducted. Among the names mentioned are those of many promi- nent men In the financial, religious and social life of the city.
 i Tne commissioner turned the list over to the district attorney who will use it as a basis of the proposed John Doe proceedings before Justice Con next-month, by which it is expected to expose police corruption. Another list containing the names of owners of disorderIy houses raided during the same period, June 1, 1911, to August l, 1912. is being prepared by Commissioner Waldo for the same purpose.
 Nearly 400 places are mentioned in the gambling list which, with the statistics as to the raids made upon them covers one hundred typewrit- ten pages. The summoning of many of these owners as witnesses at the John Doe proceedings is understood to be part Of the plan of the district at torney to determine the responsibility of the owners in allowing their prop erty to be rented for gambling pur- poses, which is a misdemeanor
 Among the names of the owners Is that of Sailors Snug Harbor, wealthy charitable institution on Staten Isl and. the Ilorillard estate, that of the Ilorillard family of millionaire tobac- co manufacturers. and J. Edward Leaycraft, and Edward C. Leaycrott, of the real estate firm of J. Edgar Leaycraft & Co.,, both prominent Tn Methodist church work
 A notable feature of the list is the comparatively few convictions which came after the arrests made at the raids, a very large majority of the prisoners having been discharged eith- CT by the court or the grand jury. In view of the testimony brought out be- fore the grand jury investigating the graft feature of the Rosenthal mur- der case, that the police often weak ened their evidence against gamblers who had come across" after they had been raided, it is expected the district attorney will investigate the reason l for the few convictions in the proceed ings before Justice Golf
 The trial of Lieutenant Becker will be begun on September II, if the plans of District Attorney Whitman do not go astray While John F. Mcintyre Beckers attorney, obtained for his client today the postponement of the date for pleading to the indict' ment against him until September 3 the prosecutor said tonight the delay l would not interfere with his original plans for bringing Becker to trial the first of the seven accused of the mur der gang.
 The prosecutor plans to have Beck CT enter his plea before Justice Gon and will then move that the trial bt set for September II. MT. Whitman who will visit the justice at his conn try home tomorrow night to map ou lthe program of the John Doe proceed
 ings, which will begin the same da!
