Court to dissolve Terminal Railroad assumed by Gould era
Edward C. Crow, former Missouri attorney general and now special government counsel, opened the Supreme Court argument in the suit to dissolve the Terminal Railroad Association at St Louis. He portrayed Jay Gould’s era as a masterful, far reaching scheme that pressured Congress and enriched a dummy company, harming St Louis and other gateway cities. He urged breaking up terminal firms to stop extortionate charges and protect local self government amid the prohibition debate and Missouri politics. He noted local option laws, cited Missouri sentiment for Champ Clark, and mentioned a poultry hospital in Mexico Missouri with injured purebred fowls.
