Daniel Harris Dies, Last Boro GAR Vet Continued from Page but had lived in this since he was a boy. His settled country, in Oswego, N. on arrival here, but later moved to New York City. The veteran was sufficiently active to travel to Utica last June 15 to attend the State Encampment of the G. A.

R. He had rarely appeared at public functions. When he did, he usually brought a message of fairness and tolerance which was by his son. "Nothing is more precious than to free men," he wrote for a Lincoln Day celebration some years ago at Temple Emmanu-el, Manhattan. Mr.

Harris was organizer of the Mount Sinai Hebrew Mutual Benefit Society and was to have been the guest of honor April 7 at the 75th anniversary of the formation of that group. He was also a member of Franklin Lodge, F. A. and Dionysius Lodge, Knights of Pythias. His wife, Mrs.

Kate Harris, died 20 years ago. Funeral arrangements will be completed tonight. Opposed to War Although bitterly opposed to war, Mr. Harris, at the age of 94, said he would re-enlist "without hesitation" to help save our democracy. "Hitler must be defeated or we'll have no peace on this earth," he said at that time.

"He'd kill his own friends--and he has done so -for his own aggrandizement." He often displayed his contempt for Hitler, saying he was "no general." Many honors were heaped on the veteran during his life, but none pleased him more than the engraved invitation he received, when he was 92, to be the Government's guest at the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysberg. An official order signed by a major general invited Mr. Harris to the observance and offered "free transportation, quarters and substance for the full period of the Battle of Gettysburg anniversary and medical aid, if necessary, for vet and one assistant." His "assistant" on that occasion was his son, Benjamin who is his only survivor. Walter B.

Siegel, Insurance Counsel H. Siegel, who had a spectacular career as radio insurance adviser in this city, died Monday in his home in Dallas, Texas. He was 44. Mr. Siegel was a boyhood resident of Brooklyn, where he attended Bushwick High School.

He was born in Chicago. From 1935 to 1942 his Policyholders Advisory Council grossed as much as $300,000 a year. During this time he was heard frequently on radio stations in New York, Baltimore and Pittsburgh on time purchased by his council, sharply criticizing the practices of insurance companies. At the same time his office aided clients in the adjustment of their insurance policies at fees ranging up to $4,000. He testified frequently before the State Legislature and Congress on insur ance practices.

Lost Libel Suit Collapse of his business began with his loss of a $10,000 libel suit against the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in 1942. This was followed by a client's suit against him for return of a fee, and in the course of this action he was fined $400 for contempt of court for refusing to answer certain questions in Municipal Court, Jamaica. He served one day in jail before paying the fine. Although the Appellate Division vacated the contempt order, Mr. Siegel was forced to abandon his business, filing a petition in bankruptcy 1943, in Brooklyn Federal A referee's ruling was still awaited on his subsequent petition for discharge from bankruptcy, opposed on the ground that he had concealed assets and that books and records were missing.
