Died. Joe Bologna, 79, little (5 ft. 1 in.) king of the Wall Street bootblacks; of a heart attack; in Brooklyn. In 1896, 18-year-old Giuseppe Bologna left Castel-grande in Italy's southern Apennines, began shining shoes in Manhattan, where bootblacks worked a 15-hr. day and the top ones earned $4 a week. By 1902 Joe had returned to Italy, married, and was back in New York living with his wife and daughter in a $7-a-month apartment on a family food budget of 25-c- a day. Joe knelt at the feet of bank presidents, utility magnates and numberless clerks. One customer was young Lawyer Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Another was a partner in a brokerage firm, who introduced Joe's savings to the stock market. Soon the bootblack was looking after his own investment positions. If he had sold before the crash of October 1929, he would have realized at least $250,000. He did not sell, went on shining shoes until last week.
