AGAIN WARR|NG
Patrizi Causes Arrest
of Rival on Charge
Of Libel.
Claims That Mancini Wrote
Malicious Articles About
Him.

The italian colony is the verge OF
another newspaper war and the olive
branch of Legal peace no longer waves
over the head and shoulders of E. Pa
trizi editor df L'Italia. and G. Mancini.
who dictates the policy, writes the ar
ticles and editorials and collects the bills
of La Critica. another bristling Italian
newspaper.
In the Police Court Patrizi will endeavor
to show that Mancini libeled him and his
partners. and, judging from the last time
the warning editors brought their trou-
bles into court. it is safe to predict that
before the matter is finally determined
the entire Italian colony will be uD in
arms. Patrizi had Mancini arrested yes
terday upon two distinct charges of Grim
inal libel, and the nature of one of Man
cini's alleged libelous articles in way
challenges the patriotism of Patrizi 10
such an extent that the details of the case
will be closely followed by the Italian
citizens.
The troubles of Mancini and Patrizi oc-
eupied the attention of more than one
Police Judge last year. When the case
was finally settled the Police Judges
thought they would not be called upon
again to translate alleged libelous articles
and decide who was libeled and who was
Cabaniss' chambers yesterday morning and
asked for two warrants for the arrest of
his rival editor, very naturally Judge
Cabaniss was surprised. The Judge is
sued the warrants and Patrizi went away
happy. A few hours later Mancini was
brought down to the Hall of Justice by
policeman, looking very unhappy
HOW THE TROUBLE BEGAN.
Mancini was bailed out shortly after
ward, and If he went back 10 his little
newspaper Office at 1872 Stockton street
and allowed his fiery pen to scratch off
his opinion of his rival, Patrizi La
Critica's next issue will be worth while
reading.
The cause of the latest outburst be-
tween the two editors seems to be found
ed principally upon a criticism which
Mancini made in his paper over the pub
lication of matrimonial advertisement
which appeared in Patrizfs paper. One
of Patrizi friends, who lives in the coun-
try. advertised for a young to
share his joys and $1,000 he had boarded
up by dint OF hard saving. Patrizfs
friend wanted a wife very badly and in
the advertisement he stated that he did
not care if she was poor. so long as she
was honest. The answers to the adver
tisement were ordered directed to Patrizis
postoffice box, and this came TO the
notice of the eagle eye of Mancini. The
editor of La Critica wrote an article I'm
which he commented rather severely upon
Patrizi's paper. Patrizi and his partners.
He accused them of running everything
from a newspaper down to matrimonial
agency, and said that if the article had
been properly vised the paper in which
It was published might have had a hard
Job passing the postal authorities.
But it passed muster all right and now
Patrizi wants legal satisfaction.
MANCINI IS SARCASTIC.
Last summer Patrzi was invited to ac-
company DOC" Leahy. manager Of the
Tivoli. on his annual tour to Italy for the
purpose of engaging the grand opera
singers Patrizi went along with the af-
pany was secured. Even this incident did
not escape the caustic pen Of Manzin as
the following article in his paper, copied
as it appears in one OF the complaints
forcibly illustrates:
