MISS JEAN GORDON WINS A POINT. New Orleans, La., November 13. In conformity with its recent decision in the case of the Southern Publishing Co., recognizing the Right Act 159 of 1859 giving to any stockholder of a corporation to institute receivership proceedings, the Supreme Court today set aside Judge Skinners decision in the suit of Miss Jean Gordon for a receiver for the Business Mens Racing Association and ordered the case returned to Judge Skinners court for trial. Testimony br Miss Gordon at the first trial of her suit was that she purchased through a pawnbroker two shares of stock in the racing association, merely to show that the association was violating the Locke anti-betting law. She filed suit immediately after making the purchase.
