or otherwise set up as equal to his own

Debts Eat Up Income.
A man familiar with EVERY phase Of the
controversy and who has been consulted
since the affair became public announced
the the antenuptial agreement provides
for the transfer of all the property Of
which Robert Winthrop Chanler was pos
sessed at the time of the execution Of
the document, including that not tied up
in trust funds or entailed to his heirs.
The latter amounts to about $4,000
But before Lima can get this amount she
must satisfy claims against it amounting
was transferred to her.
According to one of Mr. Chanler' S
friends. he owns, besides his share In
the Chanler and Delano. estates. more
than 100 acres in Duchess county, as
well as piece of ground in this city
known as the Cousine farm. This is in
the neighbOrhOod of 18th street and 10th
avenue.
The real property law prevents the as
Signment of Roberts share OF rent and
profits from real property, while the per-
sonal property law applies In the same
way to the income from personal prop
erty.
Thus. in order to get anything from
the Chanler estate. under the prenuptial
agreement Nine Cavalieri will have to
prove that the income from the trust is
in excess of the needs Of the beneficiary.
Says Estate is Entailed.
Lewis Stuyvesant ChanIer, former lieu
tenant governor and brother of Robert,
is quoted as saying that Nine. Cavalier
can profit but little from Robert Chan
ler's fortune, since the property of her
husband is almost entirely entailed.
The Astor and Delano properties were
placed in trust fund by Chanler' s
father. This trust holds the property for
management and investment The pro-
ceeds are distributed equally between
Robert and his brothers and sisters. None
of them can terminate their trust or
draw out their share of the funds or even
assign their own income in advance.
In order to get anything from her hus-
bands estate Nine. Cavalieris ante
nuptial creditors, it is said. would have to
prove that the income from the trust was
In excess of the needs of the beneficiary.
1t is thought that when. Chanler has paid
the $4,000 alimony which goes to his
first wife and has taken care of the in
terest charges on mortgages there will
be too little left to make it worth the
while of the antenuptial creditors of the
singer to fight for 1t.
