Maybe it could be printed in another newspaper/in a different region? Can’t tell if “reported over wireless” (radio/telegraph) means the reporter was sending the report from Berlin or if this report was being sent from NYC to wherever this paper was, if it was indeed not the NYT.

What’s with that copyright? Was it everywhere at that time?
As seen in Snope’s screenshot, other short stories follow the same formula: header, © by times, (author) for times, and then text. I suppose it’s been done so you can’t cut off these without leaving a text without a header. But how it helps anything? Or that’s how everyone (used to) did it?

Or if ‘Wireless’ is the source of the news, whatever it is in 1924.

It seems like “the new York times company” and “the new York times” are different entities, the “company” one seems to fill a role similar to Bloomberg or Reuters. Which makes it less strange for the Times contacting the Times by wireless.
Before 1989 copyright notices had to be in all works in the usa : en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_notice And since different articles can have different sources, they probably gave each article a separate copyright notice.
