f her absent husband for
purposes of collecting unpaid instalments by him. Moreover, because of
the antiquity of the procedure authorized, a statute permitting the
impounding of property of an absconding father for the maintenance of
his children is not in conflict with due process because it fails to
provide for notice, actual or constructive, to the
absconder.--Pennington _v._ Fourth Nat. Bank, 243 U.S. 269, 271 (1917);
Corn Exch. Bank _v._ Coler, 280 U.S. 218, 222 (1930). Likewise,
proceedings to attach wages in execution of a judgment for debt may be
instituted without any notice or service on the judgment debtor. The
latter, having had his day in court when the judgment was rendered, is
not entitled to be apprized of what action the judgment creditor may
elect to take to enforce collection.--Endicott Co. _v._ Encyclopedia
Press, 266 U.S. 285, 288 (1924).
[729] Goodrich _v._ Ferris, 214 U.S. 71, 80 (1909).
[730] McCaughey _v._ Lyall, 224 U.S. 558 (1912).
[731] RoBards _v._ Lamb, 127 U.S. 58, 61 (1888). Inasmuch as it is
within the power of a State to provide that one who has undertaken
administration of an estate shall remain subject to the order of its
courts until said administration is closed, it follows that there can be
no question as to the validity of a judgment for unadministered assets
obtained on service of publication plus service personally upon an
executor in the State in which he had taken refuge and in which he had
been adjudged incompetent.--Michigan Trust Co. _v._ Ferry, 228 U.S. 346
(1913). Also, when a mother petitions for her appointment as guardian,
and no one but the mother and her infant son of tender years, are
concerned, failure to serve notice of the petition upon the infant does
not invalidate the proceedings resulting in her appointment.--Jones _v._
Prairie Oil & Gas Co., 273 U.S. 195 (1927). Also a Pennsylvania statute
which establishes a special procedure for appointment of one to
administer the estate of absentees, which procedure is distinct from
that contained in the general law governing settlement of decedents'
estates and provides special safeguards to protect the rights of
absentees is not repugnant to the due process clause because it
authorizes notice by publication after an absence of seven
years.--Cunnius _v._ Reading School Dist., 198 U.S. 458 (1905).
[732] Hamilton _v._ Brown, 161 U.S. 256, 275 (1896).
[733] Security Sav. Bank _v._ California, 263 U.S. 282 (1923).
