OFFICER'S FATAL EXPERIMENT. Lieutenant Herbert Chase, Army Service Corps, has died at his home, Church-lane, Charlton, from injuries sustained while conducting experiments with gasoline at Woolwich Dockyard. He superintended the shipment of gasoline for South Africa to be used for making search-lights. The heat of the climate induced expansion and waste, and Lieutenant Chase was trying to find a remedy when the explosion occurred, killing a foreman, named Lewis. The inquest had been twice adjourned for the attendance of Lieutenant Chase. He was forty-seven years of age, and has left a widow and daughter.
