Priest RenoUneeS Order
To Marry J0maeia Beauty
RV WIIharf z HamnnInn

Kingston, Jamacia-( AMP A
romance under blue Caribbean
skies hit the headlines in Jamaica
last week when, it was reported,
3S-year-old Rev jeremiah Francis
Donovan, white priest from the
United States, on Nov. II, 1919,
renounced the Roman Catholic
priesthood and married 27-year-
old Monica Rose Maragh, pretty
East Indian Jamaican girl. The
bride is the daughter of Cecil /.
Maragh, East Indian ironmonger
of this city.
Nobody knew where the ro-
nance started and nobody expec-
ted it, since it was the first time
in Jamaica a priest from a Roman
Catholic body in the United
States has renowned his calling
for love. Ex-Father Donovan was
for a number of years attached to
the jamaican mission of the re,
and it was during this time his
heart painted at the irresistible
beauty Of a woman, classified
here as colored, and who is now
his wife.
Mrs. Donovan is the second
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. c. /.
Maragh, who lives about five
miles from this city. In this dis
trict of verdant lush and salubri-
Gus climate, deputy city registrar
DR.. f. c. DeCosta, united the
couple in marriage at the home of
the brides parents.
The bridegroom gave his oc-
cupation as teacher, and his bride
as "gentlewoman," according TO
a certificate of marriage, issued
by the islands registrar general.
He gave his fathers name as Pat
rick.
The newly-weds are now living
with the brides parents.

plans for the 1851 national Red
Cross convention to meet in Mi
ami, Fla, had been called off.
For the past three years the
convention with its approximately
5000 delegates has met fn west
ern, eastern and northern cities,
so the Red Cross thought it would
be only fair that it go to the
South next year. In searching
around for a southern city with
sufficient facilities to accommo-
date the large number of dele
gates, Charles Whitman, director
of the Convention bureau, is said
to have found Miami the only city
with sufficient hotel space to take
care of the convention. providing
it meets there during the Off
season.
In discussing his plans with the
Miami Red Cross chapter, Whit
man is said to have raised the
question of housing delegates on
a non-discriminatory basis. The
local chapter objected to any such
proposals, claiming that such a
thing just couldn't be done in
Florida.
Not being willing to accept the
conclusion made by the Miami
Red Cross, the Convention direc-
tor is said to have personally con-
tacted the management of some
of the city's leading hotels ex-
planning that it had always been
the policy of the national Red
Cross to house all of its senior
delegates in the same hotel and
all of its junior delegates in an
other, regardless of race.
Two hotels consented to accept
the Negro members of the dele
cation along with the others. In
spite of the stand taken by the
hotel managers, the Miami Red
Cross still commended that it would
not be willing to act as host to a
national convention which insist
ed upon the indignation of races.
They feared that if Negroes
were permitted to stay in the
same hotels with the whites they
might insist upon eating in the
same restaurants and demand
equal accommodations in all
phases of activities. This they
thought might upset the whole
system of segregation in their
fair city.
It was learned that the local
chapter voted 20 to 9 to refuse to
accept the national unless it mod
flied it's terms. On the other hand,
the National is said to have stood
pat on its original terms, thus the
convention was called off in
Miami.
The business men of Miami are
said to be very upset over the ac-
ton of the local Red Cross chap
ter, as a large convention of this
kind would prove very beneficial
to the business life of the city.
Mr.. Whitman, who went to Mi
ami to make arrangements for
the convention, was i'll and could
not be reached for comment on
this situation. Howard Bonham,
director of public relations, would
make no comment on the recent
developments.
Your answer lies in Miami"
he stated. 1T is not for the Ma
