OTTAWA. March 1f. — Serious disagreement has developed in the Committee which heard the Hon. G. N. Gordon charges which in- volved the Prime Minister and Major W. D. Herridge.

The Liberal members are re-

ported to have taken s. strong stand to the effect that at Cobourg and again before ‘the committee. the Hon. C. N. Gcrdin apologized for the inconvenience he might‘ have caused by circulating a re- port which later did not appear to be well founded and that there- fore the matter might well be drop- ped: _ l Government members, it is said are not satisfied with this. They want the report to recomme - more drastic action with the ide' of making an example of Mr. Gor- ‘don.

A Number Killed By Rebel Troops

MOSCOW, March 11. (A.P-)-A ‘fuss (Russian news agency) dis- patch from Blagoveschensk today’ said the Chinese garrison at Sak: halain across the Amur River had r-evolted Thursday when the flag of the new Manchurian state was ‘hoisted.

The rebels killed a number of per- ’ sons including two ' nose resid- ents, the dspstch added, and bill-- lets fell in Blagovolohviuk.

The report did not say whether there was any damage in the sian City but this was the first oc- , casion a. Soviet frontier settlement had been directly involved in thei Manchurian conflict. |

It was considered likely the Krem- l- lin would voice a strong protest or] take active measures to prevent a recurrence. |

The Soviet government recently‘ announced it had strengthened its, Red Army in the Far East for the| expressed purpose of repelling any attack on its territory, and through newspapers, charged that Japan had been urged to declare war.

The dispatch said the Japanese Consul at Sakhalain, the manager ‘of British Customs, a Mr. cross- man, the manager of the Chinese bank, the Soviet Consul and their families were among the persons forced to flee to Blagcveschensk for refuge. '

The rebels were said to have cap- tured Ze-Ui, commander of the new Manchurian army. and killed about ten o! his officers.

A Soviet trading organization, one store operated by a Soviet citizen, as well as four Chinese banks were among the buildings looted by the revolting Chinese troops.
