John Warne Gates (May 18, 1855 – August 9, 1911), also known as "Bet-a-Million" Gates, was a pioneer promoter of barbed wire who became a Gilded Age industrialist. Gates was born in Winfield, Illinois and married Delora R. Baker of St. Charles, Illinois in 1874. The couple had one son, Charles Gilbert Gates. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Warne_Gates

Caption appears to be, " J. P. Morgan in London 20 years ago"

A somewhat similar photo of Morgan, at hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/cph.3b40359 , has a copyright registration date of 1902. I'm not certain, but I think the photo here is probably earlier. The "20 years ago" could well be relative to his death in 1913.
BobMeade said:
I agree swang that the pic shown here looks like it is earlier. That 1902 pic shows his hair a bit sparser, and a bit whiter. Although with Morgan's known aversion to having his photographic portrait made due to the problem with his schnozzola, it's quite possible either or both have been retouched in the nose area. Possibly other areas too.

Thanks! We'll adjust the title to reflect what it says on the negative and reload the description to Flickr.

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...
