Des Moines. Ia A communistic
family circle. believed to be the most
unique and the first of its kind, SO
far as court circles have known, has
been revealed here by the filing of a
8 il by the widow of one of the four
Fleming brothers, commonly reported
to be millionaires.
Mrs. Anna b. Fleming. widow OF
Charles Fleming. one of the owners
of the Fleming building and other
valuable properties. has filed suit in
tee District Court. asking for her
dover interest in the large Fleming
holdings thereby throwing hight
upon the extraordinary family ar
rangement
Mrs. Fleming alleged that, on the
death of her husband, the three re-
naming brothers collected his life
insurance, which was made payable
to them instead of to the wife. and
That they have refused to divide with
her any share of her husbands prop.

of the brothers engaged in any sepa-
rate or individual enterprise, except
in the case of marriage.
The central idea. according to the

were working for the best interests
of all, include wives, mother. sisters

been conducted in the name of the
Fleming brothers, with the under
standing that it belonged to all OF
hem and that on the death of one
member of the family his share Of
the property should revert to the
surviving brothers.
The provisions OF this unique ar
rangement are contained in the last
contract drawn up by the brothers in
1911, which contains the following
agreements:
I. No one of the Fleming brothers
owns any separate or divisible in

separate interest except with the con-
