““The objection of the appellant that the trial court was without jurisdiction of the property, because it was not situated in the district of Kansas, has no merit. Upon the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, all property held by or for the bankrupt is brought within the custody of the court of bankruptcy, and, upon adjudication, that court is vested with jurisdiction to determine all liens and interests affecting it. This jurisdiction is coextensive with the United States. In re Wood & Henderson, 210 U. S. 246 , 28 Sup. Ct. 621 , 52 L. Ed. 1046 ; In re Granite City Bank, 137 Fed. 818 , 70 C. C.
