The re- porter endeavored to explain that The Evening World was really doing the Welsenbergs a favor in telling the story of how they were robbed. we had already a full atory. eived from our ed sweetly report on the Dollar Would Do, nd at any rate,” sald the reporter, “we usually pay only $1 or so for tips on such unimportant news items.’ “Well, I take the dollar, then,' sald Mr, Welsenberg. ‘I take the dollar and get me some cigars.” The following is the thrilling nar- rative of how the Weisenbergs were robbed of one thousand pairs of shoes, as communicated to the office “Ty The Evening World's alert Har- “Jem reporter: Inspector McCafferty visit to Harlem to-day to learn whether or not his crime-hunters up there are suffering from myopia, astigmatism or Inverted vision, He {Is really anxious to discover why the Harlem uniformed and plain-garbed force permitted a party of burglars to Invade the big shoe store of Morirs Welsenberg & Sons, at No, 20 Third avenue, steal one thousand pairs of shoes.
