Later U.S. Sec. of Commerce & Labor in 1900s under President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt - Served one year again in Turkey, as Ambassador, under President Taft.

    LOC -- Mr. Cockran's name is misspelled in your title, and in Bain's as well.

    This looks like the 1914 Niagara Falls Peace Conference.
  • Arden said:
    swanq: This does look like the 1914 Niagara Peace Conference based on the people depicted and similar Bain images. Richard Arthur Norton: I believe the man shown is Frederick W. Lehman, not Philip. A San Francisco Chronicle article for May 11, 1914 reports that Frederick W. Lehman of St. Louis, former Solicitor General; and Associate Justice Lamar of the US Supreme Court were chosen to be the US representatives at the peace conference.

    Thanks Wystan for making the connection between these photos and the 1914 Niagara Peace Conference. We will update the descriptions.
