1. ““It is not necessary to go into the technicalities of any of these examples of ancillary or auxiliary jurisdiction, because the existing bankruptcy statute is absolutely destitute of any hint of such a jurisdiction in aid of proceedings in bankruptcy pending in another district or court of bankruptcy. * * * The scheme of the bankruptcy statute is that the trustee is equipped, with the fullest possible title to all property of the bankrupt — to all his rights, remedies, and causes of action. * * * Besides, he is armed with all the legal rights and remedies that the bankrupt had, or that any other owner might have, to enforce his title and his rights of action, and these he is required to use for the collection of the property and assets of the bankrupt under the guidance of the court which appoints him. * * * And he must resort to the courts of the states, or to the federal courts in other states, according to his right to enter each or either of them, for enforcing whatever remedies he may have as owner of the bankrupt’s estate, and to bring whatever causes of action may be necessary.””
