SHOOTING NEAR Y.W.C.A. AROUSES CITIZENS Affair Substantiates Claim That Soft Drink Stand Same Notorious Dive RENEW FIGHT TO CLOSE ANDREW ORMES' PLACE It is reported that the so-called soft drink stand at West and Madison Sts., where Martin Lively was shot by Walter Field, a soldier, in a controversy over a pistol last Sunday night, is the same notorious place that it was several months ago, and is owned and operated by the same Andrew Orms. 
This place, located just four doors from the Young Women's Christian Association, and Sunshine Center, another place of gathering for religious people and children and within a square of many of our best citizens turned out to be a dive and a gambling place of the first water some [illegible] [ago?]. Craps and booze were al-[illegible] benefit of the rough [illegible] and fights and [illegible] one act af-[illegible] such a [illegible] community [illegible] lasting prohibition laws and keeping a disorderly house. We have not been able to find out the final out-come of the Ormes case; but were made to believe that the place was really cleaned out and that Ormes had sold to another. It is reported since the Sunday night's shooting, however, that the place has been running in the same old style and that Ormes is the proprietor, that gambling has been in full blast up stairs and booze still handed out to the blur-eyed men and their tough companions. Though disappointed, peeved and disgruntled at being camouflaged, colored citizens and local organizations are undaunted in their determination to have the notorious place closed.
