ACT "SHERWOOD" IN OPEN
No3es's Drama Given on Os-
borne Grounds at Montclair.

Montclair. y. J.. May 3l.-'SherwOod,"
the romantic drama by Alfred Noyes. the
English poet, which relates IN verse the
adventures Of Robin Hood and his
merry men" in Sherwood forest. was
given on the grounds of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
mund b. Osborne. in Stonebridge Road. In
the south end OF Montclair. this afternoon
and evening.
The production was under the auspices
Of the College Women's Club. Of Mont
clair, and the various roles were acted by
graduates representing. over thirty differ
ent educational institutions for women.
An orchestra led by Melzar Chaffee. of
Montcair, furnished the incidental music
10 the piece and the accompaniment for
the several choruses. Last year the Col
lege Women's Club produced Mitons
"Comus" on the Osborne grounds. and
the proceeds both Of "Comus" and
sherwood" will he devoted to a girls
scholarship. Last year about 500 was
made on the two performances, and 1t is
thought that this year the profits will be
even larger.
Ideal weather conditions prevailed to-
day, and the presentation OF the play was
perfect in every detail. The story was
acted in a natural glen on the Osborne
81 rounds, and the audience sat on lawn
that slopes gently toward StonebrldGe
Road. The natural surroundings pro-
vided a charming setting for the play.

JAPANESE NOTE THIS WEEK
No Hint at Washington as to
Probable Contents.

Washington May 3l.--Japan's rejoinder
in the alien land controversy will be sub
mitted early next week. according to the
present plans. This much was made
known to-day but no suggestion was
offered as TO the probable contents Of the
note.
There have been numerous cable eN-
changes between the Japanese Embassy
here and the Foreign Office in Toxic rela-
tive TO exact information as to American
national and state laws on naturalization.
1t is regarded as doubtful however, If
the japanese turn to the naturalization
laws as a solution of the present issue.
The successful treatment by the Cana
dian Parliament of complaints from Brit
ish Columbia of the competition Of Jap
anese has attracted the attention Of the
negotiators on both sides in this country.
AS the underlying principle of the cana
dian legislation is separation Of the two
races in the interest Of permanent peace.
to be attained through absolute exclusion
Of all but the travelling and student
classes, IL was suggested to-day that
similar remedy might be found TO TT the
present issue in America. IL was pointed
out that the representatives of Japan In
Canada made no objection TO the Ca
madam legislation.
Toxic. May 31.-Another note from the
Japanese government dealing with the
questions arising out of the recent Call
fornian alien land ownership legislation
Is shortly to be forwarded to Washington
The idea that the United States has not
said her final word is prevalent here and
