WASHINGTON, D. C., May 12. P1-The Resolutions Committee of
 the International Ch m Der of
 Commerce approved the resolu- tion authorizing the organization
 to proceed with the study of the general economic situation with regard to it's bearing on World War debts. The measure will come
 up before general body of 1000
 business leaders representing B nations for action.
 While deliberations of the com ndttee were cloaked with closest secrecy, it was learned that it had taken long hours of discussion to harmonize views of American-Eu- ropean delegations on debate of international agreements growing out of the late struggle. It was reported unofficially that foreign members of the committee had flatly rejected the American pro posal to exclude the cost of mil itary expenditures in any review of the capacity of a debtor na- ton to pay it's obligations.

 Passage of the resolution is |popularly counted on to result in continued agitation for reduction or cancellation of war debts and reparation settlements is directly contrary to expressed wishes of both President Hoover and Secre- tary Mellon.
 The President, in his opening address to the convention, stressed
 the need of reduction of world
 armaments as a prime necessity in the effort to restore prosperity
 but unless unofficial reports are
 amiss this warning will be ig- nored in the chambers proposed

MADRID, May 12. lP-Jeering and cheering mobs, which swept police, civil guards and soldiers aside, attacked and burned church. es and church buildings in many cities as the month-old govern ment stroye with all it's resources to restore order.
 Five churches and convents were burned before dawn at Seville and martial law was declared and troops placed in the streets in an effort to control the throngs rang ing the city destroying monuments marking centuries of Roman Cath OliciSm in Spain.
 Similar conditions prevailed at Malaga, Ca dite and Alicante. Mobs at Zaragoza, Cordova and Biboa attacked and wrecked build ings but did not burn them.
 With cavalry, infantry, tanks and machine gun squads patrolling the streets, Madrid, the capital, has been restored to tranquility but 10 churches, convents, monasteries and other buildings were burned to the ground while mobs held off firemen, preventing them from fighting the fires.
 A nationwide checkup showed 18 church buildings have been de- stroyed and 10 more badly dam aged but not burned. A few in- mates have been beaten but most of the escaped nuns have been re- Spected by the crowds.
 Religious workers fleeing Madrid are numbered at 50,00O.
 The physical damage is guessed as high as $3O,OOO,OOO not count ing the priceless manuscripts and paintings destroyed or stolen.

EUGENE YsAYE

 vN)l|N|ST, |S DEAD
PLAYED ALMOST INVARIABLY FROM MEMORY; WAS
 GREAT COMPOSER

BRUSSELS, May 1Z. (A)-EuseAe Ysaye, B, one of the worlds great violin masters, died after a long illness.
 The rise of Ysaye to a place of eminence among the masters oi the violin began with his leader ship in 1880 of Bilse's orchestra in Berlin. The success of the or chestra added to his reputation and after a year he appeared Tn concert until 1886. Then he be- came professor of violin at the Brussels Conservatory and re- mained in that position ten years Meanwhile he founded. the Ysaye Orchestral Concerts, which acliev- ed artistic and financial success.
 Ysaye made his first trip to the United States in 1894. He was engaged as conductor of the Cin- cinnati Symphony Orchestra in 1919 and remained for three years Returning to Brussels, Ysaye re- sumed his work at the Conserva- tory of that city.
 In the early days of the World War the nous violiniSt was among the Belgians who fled their country when it was invaded by the German armies.
 During his frequent tours YSaye met many who appeared as musi- cal enemies because of his original style of playing and he often was referred to as a musical colorist. He played almost invariably from memory and was known on many occasions to memorize new piece with no further knowledge of it than that gained by reading the score.
 Ysaye composed a number of concerts for violin as we'll as num- erous less pretentious numbers as violin solos. He received many or ders and decorations, among them the Legion of Honor of France.
 Ysaye was born July 16, 1858, at Liege, in a district of Belgium, the inhabitants of which displayed much predilection for string mu- sic. His early lessons were given to him by his father, Nicolas Ysaye, beginning when the son was five years of age. Later he studied at the conservatory of his native town, the violin under Ru- dolphe MaSsart and harmony un- der Michael Dupuis.
 Ysaye was married twice. His first wife, Mime. Louise Ysaye. died suddenly at Brussels Feb- ruary B, 1924. His second wife was Miss Annette Dincin, A years his junior and daughter of Dr. Herman Dincjn of Brooklyn. They were married July g, 1927, at Le- Zoute, a Belgian seaside resort.
