“ St. §§ 9585, 9586) define 'courts of bankruptcy' as including the several District courts of the United States, and section 2 (20) invests the courts of bankruptcy with power to 'exercise ancillary jurisdiction over persons or property within their respective territorial limits in aid of a receiver or trustee appointed in any bankruptcy proceedings pending in any other court of bankruptcy.'
The amendments are couched in plain words and effect a material change in the jurisdiction of suits by trustees to avoid preferential transfers and recover the property or its value under section 60b. ”

“ The bill contains a prayer for the recovery of the real property or its value, for an accounting as to the proceeds of the personalty, and for other relief the detail and propriety of which require no attention here. ”

“ Some or all of the personalty has been disposed of by Adams. The real property is in the Southern District of Texas, where this suit was brought. Cotten and the trustee reside in the Northern district, where the bankruptcy proceeding is pending, and Adams resides in the Eastern district. The suit in the state court has not been dismissed, but is still pending in substantially the same condition as when the transfer was made. ”
