  A Chicago millionaire, trader in wheat, horseman. There's a bit on him over at Find A Grave. Frank Norris's The Pit was apparently based on Leiter's life trying to control the wheat market; a century later, his legacy lives on.

  Leiter appeared at the hearing on the fixing of bread prices. See NYT of Feb 20, 1915 select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F30F12FC395C1373...

  The date on the negative is May, 1917, but it appears to be taken at the same time as the group of 1915 Bread Inquiry pictures. Leiter was in the news again in May 12, 1917 in connection with a public dispute with Thedore Roosevelt, and the date probably represents a re-use of a 1915 picture: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E07EEDE123AE433A... "Roosevelt Resigns From Army League; Leiter Calls Him Unfit to Lead Volunteers" Here is an account of Leiter's testimony on 2/26/15 before the New York State bread inquiry: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E02E0DC1238E633A...

Tearing down Astor house (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Wystan said:

  John Jacob Astor had it built, in 1836. Abraham Lincoln slept there, in 1860. The south part was demolished in 1913, a victim of subway construction, and the rest was torn down in 1926. Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astor_House

• Kristi (LOC P&P) said:

  Wystan: Thanks for the additional details on the Astor house. We will add a bit more to the record when we update.
