dbo:abstract Sir Edgar Speyer, 1st Baronet (7 September 1862 – 16 February 1932) was an American-born financier and philanthropist. He became a British subject in 1892 and was chairman of Speyer Brothers, the British branch of the Speyer family's international finance house, and a partner in the German and American branches. He was chairman of the Underground Electric Railways Company of London (UERL, forerunner of the London Underground) from 1906 to 1915, a period during which the company opened three underground railway lines, electrified a fourth and took over two more. Speyer was a supporter of the musical arts and a friend of several leading composers, including Edward Elgar, Richard Strauss and Claude Debussy. He was chairman of the Classical Music Society for ten years, and he largely funded the Promenade Concerts between 1902 and 1914. His non-musical charitable activities included being honorary treasurer of the fund for Captain Scott's Antarctic expedition. For his philanthropy he was made a baronet in 1906 and a Privy Counsellor in 1909. After the start of the World War I, he became the subject of anti-German attacks in the Press. In 1915, Speyer offered to resign from the Privy Council and to relinquish his baronetcy, but the Prime Minister turned down the offer. He resigned as chairman of the UERL and went to the United States. In 1921, the British government investigated accusations that Speyer had traded with the enemy during the war, and had participated in other wartime conduct incompatible with his status as a British subject. Speyer denied the charges, but his naturalisation was revoked and he was struck off the list of members of the Privy Council. (en) Edgar Speyer, baronet, (7 de septiembre de 1862 - 16 de febrero de 1932) fue un financiero estadounidense.​ Se hizo ciudadano británico en 1892, y fue presidente del directorio de Speyer Brothers, la rama británica de la casa financiera internacional de su familia. También fue presidente de la Compañía de Trenes Eléctricos Subterráneos de Londres (conocida como UERL por su siglas en inglés), antecesora del Metro de Londres de 1906 a 1915, un período durante el cual la compañía construyó tres líneas del metro, electrificó una cuarta y tomó dos más. Speyer fue un mecenas de la música, así como amigo de varios importantes compositores incluyendo a Edward Elgar, Richard Strauss y Claude Debussy. Fue presidente de la Sociedad de Música Clásica por diez años, y fue fundador de los Conciertos Promenade, entre 1902 y 1914. Sus actividades caritativas no relacionadas con la música, incluyen ser el tesorero honorario del fondo para la Expedición Terra Nova o expedición Antártica. Por su filantropía fue hecho baronet en 1906 y luego consejero privado del rey en 1909. Luego del inicio de la Primera Guerra Mundial se convirtió en objeto de ataques antialemanes en la prensa. En 1915 ofreció renunciar al consejo privado de la Reina así como a su estatus de baronet, pero el Primer Ministro rechazó la oferta. Es por ello que renunció como director de la Compañía de Trenes Eléctricos Subterráneos y regresó a los Estados Unidos . En 1921, el gobierno británico investigó las acusaciones de que Speyer había hecho tratos con el enemigo durante la guerra, y había participado en otras actividades incompatibles con su estatus de ciudadano británico. Speyer negó los cargos, pero su nacionalidad británica fue revocada y fue retirado del consejo privado del rey.
