Opinion

Mr. Justice Hall

delivered the opinión of the court.

A petition for rehearing was granted in this cause, and after a further review of the record, the court files a new opinion, as follows:

This is an appeal from a decree of the circuit court of Cook county, construing a deed of trust, and directing the distribution of certain income of a trust estate.

On March 1,1900, David P. Kelley and Sarah Kelley, his wife, conveyed real estate, situated in the city of Chicago, to the Illinois Trust & Savings Bank, in trust, for the purposes set forth in the deed of conveyance. After providing for the maintenance of the property in the matter of the payment of taxes, water rates and other costs in connection therewith, and the renting of the property, and the collections of the rents to be derived therefrom, the deed of .trust provides that the trustee is given power to sell and convey the real estate so conveyed, and to invest and reinvest the proceeds thereof, provided that the trustee may not sell, convey or dispose of the same during the joint lives of Addison D. Kelley and Paul D. Kelley, sons of the grantors, without the consent in writing of these sons, and it is further provided that in case of the death of either of the sons, during the lifetime of the survivor, the trustee may not sell or convey the property without the consent of the survivor. It also provides for the payment of $200 per month to each of the grantors during their lives, or during the life of the survivor. Sections 3 and 4 of the deed are as follows:

“3. During* the existence of the trust hereby created, said trustee shall apply and pay the net rents, issues and profits arising* from the property hereby conveyed or the net rents, interest, income and return upon any substituted investment (subject, however, to the contingencies hereinafter provided for and set forth) during the joint lives of Addison D. Kelley and Paul D. Kelley, sons of the party of the first part, in quarter-yearly installments, or at more frequent intervals if practicable, to each, the said Addison D. Kelley and Paul D. Kelley (in person and not upon any written or verbal order nor upon any assignment or transfer by them, or either of them) one-half of the net income arising from said property, and upon and after the death of either thereof, shall pay in like manner to his widow, if any (in person and not upon any written or verbal order nor upon any assignment or transfer by her) his (her deceased husband’s) proportion of said income, until her death or remarriage, or until the end of twenty-one years after the death of the last survivor of them, said Addison D. Kelley and Paul D. Kelley, which ever shall first occur, and upon the death of either, the said Addison D. Kelley or Paul D. Kelley, leaving no widow him surviving, or in case he shall leave a widow him surviving, upon her death or remarriage within the period of twenty-one years above mentioned, shall pay in like manner to his heirs-at-law his proportion of said net income until the termination of this trust.

“á. The income arising from said property shall not be subject to alienation or assignment by said Addison D. or Paul D. Kelley, or either of them, and in case they, or either of them, shall die, leaving widows surviving, such income shall not be subject to alienation or assignment by such widows, or either of them, nor shall such income be subject to be charged, incumbered or in any manner lessened or affected by any act of said Addison D. or Paul D. Kelley, or either of them, in the lifetime of either of them, or by the act of the widows of them, or either of them, in case of the survivorship of such wife or wives. Nor shall same be subject to the payment of his, her or their debts or obligations in any manner of form, nor shall'they or either of them have any vested interest in said income, or any installment thereof, until the same is actually paid over to him, her or them by said trustee, nor shall any payment thereof be anticipated by said trustee, nor shall said income be subject to garnishment or other legal process, but on the contrary shall be free from interference or control of his, her or their creditors, the intent being that said income shall be preserved and held for the personal use, benefit, maintenance and support of said Addison D. and Paul D. Kelley, and their respective widows, or the survivor or survivors of them, upon the terms hereof, and if said Addison D. and Paul D. Kelley, or either of them, shall at any time hereafter attempt to alienate, charge or dispose of their respective shares of said income, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or if, in the event of survivorship, the widows of them or either of them, shall at any time attempt to alienate, charge or dispose of their respective proportions of said income, or any part thereof, or if by reason of such attempted alienation, charge or disposition, or by reason of his, her or their insolvency, or by reason of any legal proceeding being taken or legal process issued against them, or any, or either, of them, or by reason of any other event happening at any time hereafter, said net income shall, wholly or in part, cease to be personally enjoyed by said Addison D. and Paul D. Kelley, or either of them, or in the event of their survivorship, by their said widows, or either of them, the provisions herein contained for the disposition of said income shall thereupon cease and determine in respect to the proportion thereof so affected, and thereupon said income as to the proportion thereof going to the person or persons whose interest or interests is or are or may be so affected, shall be held by said trustee during all the then residue of the life of the person whose interest is, or may be, so affected, as the case may be, in the manner following, that is to say: said trustee shall in its absolute discretion and as it shall see fit, pay and apply said income to the personal support, comfort and maintenance or otherwise, as the judgment of the trustee shall approve, for the benefit of the person whose interest shall lie so affected, exclusive of all other persons being* or claiming to be alienees, grantees, or creditors of such person, and in such event said trustee shall have power to appoint some person as its agent and representative to whom it may pay over said income and such person so appointed shall have full power and authority in his absolute discretion, and as he shall see fit, to so pay and apply said income to the personal support and maintenance or otherwise for the benefit of the person whose interest is so affected; provided, however, that in such event the interest or interests of the remaining* beneficiaries of this trust not affected by such attempted alienation, charge or disposition, or by the claim of creditors or by legal proceedings taken, or process issued against the same, shall continue in full force and shall not be affected by the application of the provisions last above set forth in respect to the interests so affected.”

The deed also provides that the trustee shall have the power to borrow money for certain purposes. Section 9 of the trust deed is as follows:
