GREAT VIOLIN MASTER PASSES AWAY, BELCIUM M
Eugene Ysaye Dies in Brus- sels After Long Period
 of Illness
(Continued from page Io

never heard the violin played like that before"
 It was an ambiguous comment, but whether it was tinged with praise or blame, it was regarded as illustrating the salient feature of the art of Ysaye-his originality in technique and in his conception and treatment of music.
 Ysaye was born July Is, 1858, at Liege, in a district of Belgium, the inhabitants of wlich h displayed much predilection for string music. His early lessons were given to him by his father, Nicolas Ysaye, be- ginning when the son was five years of age. Later he studied at the conservatory of his native town the violin under Rodolphe Massart and harmony under Michael Dupis.
 Has Good Fortune
 After three years with Henri Wienaiwski the young violinis t struck his first bit of good fortune when Henri Vieuxtemp heard Ysaye play one of his concertos at Ant werp. The master was so impressed with the young mans talent that he used his influence to obtain a special government subsidy that enabled Ysaye to continue his stud ies three more years. During that time he received many private les sons from Vieuxtemps
 Ysaye was married twice. His first wife, Mime Louise Ysaye, died suddenly at Brussels February 13, 1924. His second wife was Miss Anette Dincin, A years his junior and daughter of Dr. Herman Dincin of Brooklyn They were married July g, 1927, at Lezoute, Bel gian seaside resort
 Miss Dincin met Ysaye while he was conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. After hear ing her play, her aptitude for the violin was so evident to him that he invited her to become one of his pupils. Miss Dincin continued her studies in the United States for two years and then went to Brus- sels to begin her instruction with Ysaye

FOREIGN TRADE TAX TO GIVE ABYSSINIA
 NEW COIN SYSTEM

ADDS ABBA, May 12.-Abbys- sinia, one of the few countries of the world without money of it's own is to have a modern currency and on gold basis.
 The expense of this reform is to be borne by international trade.
 Much to the discomfort of for eign merchants here the govern ment of Emperor Halle Selassie suddenly increased import and ex- else duties, some by as much as 30 per cent.
 "The yield from these taxes stated the decree, lis to be used ex- clusively for the purchase of the National Bank of Abyssinia and es- tablishment of a gold currency"
 Control of the bank is to pass from it's present Egyptian manage ment late this month.
 Hitherto Abyssinia has depended for what little money it needed up- cn the Maria Theresa thaler, in- troduced several years ago from Austria. These coins were minted in Alden and brought across the Red Sea. More recently the Nation- al Bank of Egypt established a branch bank here and issued some paper money.
 But the bulk of the citizens have been content to use bars of salt, empty bottles, tin cans and rifle cartridges as media for buying nd selling. 1a5 e
