The $100,000 claim of Mrs. Jessie Peters Mylius against the $4,000,000 estate of the late coffee and spice magnate, August Schilling, has been settled out of court, it became known yesterday.

Though attorneys on neither side divulged the amount paid Mrs. Mylius, it is thought to have been somewhat less than half of what she asked and to have run into a substantial sum of five figures.

With this settlement, it is reported, the executors of the estate have compromised the third and last promise of money made by the millionaire in letters to women a few years before his death last August at the age of 80.

Mrs. Mylius was represented by the lay firm of Cooley, Crowley & Supple, a member of which said: "We consider the settlement eminently fair. Mrs. Mylius was in Mr. Schilling’s employee for about 10 years as an expert statistician. She left his employ for a more lucrative position and after nine years he asked her to return and help him launch a new merchandising program. He offered he a yearly salary of $6,000 and, because he was likely to die at any time and disrupt this agreement, and additional $100,000 in his will. This offer, made in 1930 was accepted.

In 1932 Schilling was declared incompetent and his sons, Carl and Rudolph, were made executors of his estate.

Since his death the estate has settled for $7,500 a claim made by Mrs. Frances B. Tuma of San Francisco that Schilling promised her $500 a month and a $100,000 bequest. It also has settled for $2,400 a lesser claim of similar nature made by Mrs. Miriam White of Redwood City. In all instances the money was claimed for service.
