to tide over an emergency but the
people looked at it differently.
Public meetings were held and
he was asked to resign the pres
idency of several railroads. From
his place in Parliament he tried to
explain the situation, but he was
listened to coldly. Suits were
brought against him which result
ed i'll twenty years litigation. AT
ter 1916 he lived much on the con-
tinent and tried to operate in CONT
mental finances, but without sue
cess. In July, 1865, having re-
turned to England, he was com
mitted to Jail in York, of which
city he had twice been lord mayor,
for contempt of court in not pay
ing large debt, Three years
later in 1868, some former friends
raised by subscription S24, 900 to
purchase a life annuity for him
and this constituted his main sup
port for the rest of his life. He
still had friends, however, and a
number of them gave him public
banquet.
A contemporary writer describ-
ing him at the height of his power
says: 1T was told with pleasure
and repeated with delight that his
empire extended over a thousand
miles of railway. His fortune was
computed with an almost personal
pride. The choicest aristocracy
of England sought his presence.
Foreign potentates sued for bis
society. The coronet of the peer
was yelled before the crown of the
railroad king. The minister paid
him court and the bishop paid him
homage. The ermine of the Judge
lost its dignity and the uniform of
the officer IFS pride.
The Christian banker and the
Hebrew capitalists alike acknowl-
edged his greatness. Men heard
of his buying estates and they
honored him. His alliance was
sought by patricians; his children
were the companions of peers.
When his name graced an adver-
tisement, men ran to buy the
shares. In lines known to be
worthless al d in which no bust
ness was doing, if a rumor was
spread that Hudson was after them
the Stock Exchange was in a fer
ment and prices rose enormously.
He was the peoples railway po-
tentate; their iron king, their
golden god"
Yet Englishmen have always &C
cused Americans of worshiping
the almighty dollar. For a former
linen draper, Hudson played the
game we'll. One who knew him
at the height Of his power de-
scribes his as "of extraordinary
size; his frame naturally broad
and massive, with a tendency to
developed every way but upward,
He is scarcely of the middle height
and very round; but his chest is
broad and we'll thrown out and
although ungainly and even
clumsy in his movements, he is
strong, active and muscular. He
walks with great effort, his large
arms swinging vigorously to aid
the difficult action of his legs, yet
he gets over ground more rapidly
than the average man.
His head is a formidable look
ing engine, it is round and as stern
looking as fortytwo-pou In
fitting it on the body the Formally
of neck has been dispensed with.
The face carries whole battery;
the eyes are quick and piercing,
the mouth firm and characteristic
of resolution"
This remarkable man, the first
railway king" died in London
