WALDO'S LIST
IS GIVEN OUT
Waldorf Astor and Trust
Companies Are included.

New York, Aug. 2S.-Police Commits
sioner Waldo allowed to be copied
from the police records the list OF
suspected houses" with the names of
the owners of the premises at the
time Of the police action. There is no
one spared In the list. From Waldorf
Astor and the biggest trust companies
down to the owner of a small piece Of
property on some side street, Mr.. Wal
do has made plain the names of the
owners. The list which he allowed to
be copied concerns gambling houses
alone.
This is only part of the evidence Mr..
Waldo Is preparing for the use of the
district attorney and the grand jury,
and eventually he hopes to furnish
enough to warrant a widespread legis-
lative investigation into the entire sys-
ten of the administration of justice In
New York city.
Commissioner Waldo is willing that
the police department be investigated
by the grand jury. but he does not
think the investigation should stop
there. The criminal courts cannot In
vestigate themselves, the district al
torney cannot satisfactorily investigate
himself and the commissioner believes
the job Is up to the Legislature.
He favors a legislative probe that
will touch the whole procedure Of han
ding u criminal from the time of his
arrest to the time he Is sentenced.
Included In such an investigation
would be the police department. the
the jury system.
Commissioner Waldo does not admit
that the police are entirely at fault.
II there Is anything wrong about the
administration Of justice in criminal
matters. He has repeatedly stated his
opinion that the courts. from the low
est jurisdiction to the highest, do not
properly cooperate with the police de-
partment. The criminal code, In his
judgment, has been amended, altered
and amplifed until it is in many IN
stances n protection to crooks rather
than to the community.
The police commissioner believes
that a fair and thorough legislative
Investigation would uncover defects In
the district attorneys office, In the
system Of drawing juries and In the
courts, as well as in the police depart
ment. He Is prepared to advocate the
investigation outlined and looks for
the cooperation Of the district attor-
ney. the judges and other officials in
terested In the matter.
